Chapter 27


    The bidding results would be announced in an hour. Thepanies waited for the announcement


    patiently.


    Lillian was slightly nervous. She hadn''t initiated any major projects ever since she took over the


    company, and the other shareholders weren''t very happy with her.


    Jamie, especially, yearned to oust her from the CEO position.


    Thus, this bidding was crucial for her. She had to win this bid to shut those people up.


    Sebastian noticed her concern andforted her with a smile. "Rest assured. We''ll definitely win


    the bid this time."


    "It''s all thanks to Steven if we win the bid. What does it have to do with you?" Evelyn sneered.


    "Exactly. Mr. Harris has already talked to Kieran. He''ll definitely let us take charge of the project for


    Mr. Harris'' sake. How shameless of you to try to steal his credit!" Lily jeered.


    Sebastian didn''t argue further. He would let the facts speak for himself.


    Just then, Steven received a call from Kieran. "Kieran wants to have a chat with me. I''ll be right


    back."


    Scowling at Sebastian, Lily hissed, "See how close Mr. Harris is with Kieran? You''re both men, but


    you don''t even deserve to be Mr. Harris'' ve."


    "Lily, you''ve gone too far!" Lillian snapped, glowering at Lily before Sebastian could get upset.


    "Ms. Smith, I''m just telling the truth. It''s a fact, after all," Lily retorted defiantly.


    "Shut up! Spout one more word of nonsense, and I''ll fire you right away!" Lillian bellowed.


    Lillian was seething. Though she was only married to Sebastian for convenience, she wouldn''t


    tolerate anyone demeaning him.


    Lily was still indignant, but she didn''t dare to argue further. Her job was easy, and she was well paid.


    Most importantly, she could meet other rich men.


    A smile crept onto Sebastian''s lips. He was over the moon to see Lillian defending him despite her


    iming to dislike him.


    …


    Meanwhile, Steven was sipping wine while chatting with a man. Each of them had a voluptuous


    woman in their arms.


    "Mr. Harris, this chick isn''t bad, right?" Kieran asked with a lecherous grin.


    "Yeah. Thanks, Kieran," Steven said in a haste.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Kieran waved his hand dismissively. "Cut the pleasantries. Get Lillian over here."


    "Why do you ask for her?" Steven grew wary. He knew what Kieran was like—he would be a


    dog in heat whenever he saw an attractive woman. His requesting Lillian''s presence meant trouble.


    Kieran snickered. "Of course, it''s to have fun with her. I drugged herst time, but she escaped.


    Now that she''s in my territory, I''ll have to teach her a lesson."


    Steven''s expression changed drastically. He stered a smile hastily and said, "Come on, Kieran.


    Lillian''s my fiancée. How about I get you another woman?"


    Kieran''s expression darkened in an instant. "Steven, are you trying to defy me?"


    "Don''t be angry, Kieran. I''ll agree to any of your conditions as long as you spare Lillian." Smiling


    docilely, Steven sprang up from his seat.


    "Then get me a woman who''s more attractive than her," Kieran snapped.


    "That''s impossible. I won''t be able to find one even after turning Ravenview upside down." Steven


    was in a tough spot.


    Lillian held the title of the prettiest woman in Ravenview City. In fact, it was an extremely daunting


    task to search for a woman whose looks were on par with hers, let alone one who was prettier than


    her.


    Kieran sneered. "Since you can''t find one, then get her here now. She might be your fiancée, but


    what can you do about it?


    "I''m going to fuck your woman in front of you. Do you have an issue with that?"
