    Chapter 55 The Bidding Is About to Begin!


    On the 20th floor of Maple Properties, in the president’s office.


    After sending Pam back to the branchpany, Joshua went to thepany.


    Alexia stood in front of Joshua’s desk and reported, “ording to the news we just received, all the


    funds on the ount of the Morton Group have been frozen. Arge number of fixed assets will be


    mortgaged and sold. All the relevant personnel who break thew are under control. Moreover, the


    Morton Group has already expressed that they have given up on this project bidding.”


    “How about Gideon?”


    “The evidence of Gideon hitting someone is conclusive. Now he has been detained and is ready to go


    through the follow-up prosecution process. It is estimated that he will be sentenced to three to five


    years in prison!”


    Three to five years in prison would mean that Gideon’s power in New York waspletely crushed.


    Everything that he had been running for decades was ruined.


    However,pared to Ralph, Gideon was lucky. At least he was alive.


    In fact, Joshua admired Ralph a little.


    Last night, before Joshua left Peach Blossoms Nightclub, he asked Ralph and Reuben to choose one


    to be the protagonist in the car ident.


    In the end, Ralph became the protagonist, so he must have taken the initiative to protect his son.


    He was brave as a father.


    However, Ralph was not as lucky as Le, and he was killed by Gideon’s car.


    Maybe if Ralph didn’t have such a son, with his ability, he would have gotten a chance to be sessful


    in New York!


    Sighing, Joshua asked Alexia, “How are the bidding arrangements for tomorrow?”


    “It has been arranged properly. The only people who participated in the bidding this time are the Hill


    family and the Windsor family. It will start tomorrow at nine o’clock in the morning in the conference


    room on the tenth floor of ourpany.”


    Joshua nodded. “Good! Then I’ll have to trouble you to preside over the overall situation!”


    Alexia was stunned and quickly refused, ‘Mr. Palmer, the total scale of this auction is more than 160


    million


    dors. This level of business cooperation needs you to personally decide!”


    Joshua shook his head and smiled, “It doesn’t matter. You just need to take care of the whole process.


    I have other ns. I’ll tell you what to do…”


    In the Hill Group.


    As the oldest building materialspanies in New York, the Hill Group and the Morton Group were


    almost equally powerful, and they had always beenpeting with each other.


    However, after learning that the Morton Group had fallen this morning, the Hill Group held an


    emergency


    meeting.


    Griffin Hill, the current head of the Hill family, was overjoyed. He said to the higher-ups of thepany,


    “Let’s cut to the chase. Now that the Morton Group is done for, our Hill Group has be the biggest


    manufacturer of materials in New York!


    “Tomorrow, the bidding for Maple Properties will begin. After we take it down, our construction material


    business will be unshakable in New York!”


    As he spoke, his gaze swept across the many higher-ups in the office. “For tomorrow’s bidding, what


    do you all think? You can speak freely!”


    Everyone started discussing “Mr. Hill, in my opinion, this time we will win the bid with a hundred percent


    certainty! After all, the Morton family has fallen. I really can’t think of any other family in New York who


    can be our match!”


    “That’s right! Even if the remaining construction materialspany that participated in thepetition


    was kept confidential and not announced, even if theybined, they still wouldn’t be a match for us.


    All of this is thanks to you!”


    “That’s right. The leader is the most important. Mr. Hill is the one who has made great contributions to


    our group!”


    Their ttery made Griffin very pleased.


    He gestured for everyone to stop for a moment and smiled. “Eh-hem! Everyone has contributed greatly


    to the Hill Group. Although we will win the bid, we still need to send representatives for tomorrow’s


    bidding. How about this? Patrick Lumley will represent the Hill Group.”


    Upon hearing this, a handsome young man who was around twenty-four or twenty-five years old


    immediately stood up and said with a happy expression, “I will definitely aplish my mission!”


    “Good! With Mr. Lumley, we will definitely seed!”


    “Mr. Hill has good eyes. We should learn from him!”


    The rest of the higher-ups in the room continued to tter.


    At least seven or eight people had higher positions in thepany than Patrick.


    But they had to tter him.


    Because Patrick was the son-inw of the Hill family!


    Although Griffin was dissolute, he only had one child, a daughter.


    In the future, when he grew old, all the properties would be inherited by his daughter.


    He was worried that when his daughter got married in the future, all these assets would be


    someone else’s.


    That was why he found his daughter a matrilocal son-inw, Patrick.


    Patrick was not bad looking, and his ability was not bad.


    He was a little conceited.


    But this did not affect Griffin’s efforts to nurture Patrick.


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Therefore, Patrick could be promoted to the marketing manager of the Hill Group in just over three


    years.


    He became one of the higher-ups of the Hill Group.


    He was promising.


    Griffin nodded with satisfaction. “Then I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip on behalf of the Hill Group


    tomorrow. Remember! Although our strength is not as good as Maple Properties, now that the Morton


    Group has copsed, our construction materials are dominated by New York. It is not easy for Maple


    Properties to


    find a suitable partner.


    “That is to say, the initiative is actually in our hands. Do you understand what it means?”


    Patrick’s eyes lit up, and he nodded his head repeatedly to show that he understood!


    He was so excited that he could not calm down. All these years, he seemed to have a bright future, but


    in order to be the son-inw of the Hill family, he had to bear more pressure over the years.


    Someone scolded him for being a kept man..


    Someone mocked him as a gigolo.


    However, what he could not ept the most was that someone secretlypared him to the famous


    good-for-nothing son-inw of New York, Joshua!


    He thought, bullshit!


    How could that kind of trashpare to me?


    What right does he have?


    Heh!


    When I sessfully win the bid this time, I will be free from beingpared to Joshua!


    The next day came in the blink of an eye.


    The construction materials for Maple Properties this year officially arrived!


    The Windsor family drove neatly to Maple Properties early in the morning!


    Even Mary came with them, which showed how much importance she attached to the bidding.in


    The car stopped in the parking lot outside thepany.


    When Marsh and Giselle got out of the car and saw the entrance and building of Maple Properties, they


    couldn’t help but think of the tragic encounter a few days ago.


    They were still angry.


    Especially Giselle. She caught a glimpse of the trash can by the road at a nce.


    At that time, she was holding it and shouting such shameful lines for the video on TikTok.


    This video made her famous!


    It had already been 24 hours, and the video had already been deleted.


    But she had been so embarrassed.


    Thinking of this, Giselle cursed Joshua again.


    After Mary got out of the car, she looked around and frowned unhappily. “Where is that damned girl


    Pam? Doesn’t she know what day it is today? Why is she still noting over? Does she want to


    get out of the Windsor family?’
