Chapter 168
Representatives from various majorpanies entered the main hall. The seating
arrangements had been predetermined, and Sheena went directly to her seat in the first row with her name on it.
As the host’s opening remarks filled the room, the bidding eventmenced. Then, servers politely approached each seat,
collecting eachpany’s bidding proposals and offers.
When they reached Skye and Sheena, Skye waved them off, indicating they had nothing to submit. The servers were taken
aback, and they awkwardly skipped the two to move on to the nextpany.
Sitting in the first row on the right, Faye observed everything closely. Confirming that Skye had no intention of bidding, she was
immediately at ease. If the Zimmer family was not interested inpeting for thend, then it would likely fall into the hands of
her Freeman Group!
With that in mind, Faye’s tension was reced by a proud confidence. She stood up gracefully, capturing everyone’s attention,
and ced the Freeman Group’s bidding proposal and project n elegantly into the wooden box held by a server.
Seeing her confident demeanor, otherpanies began to murmur.
“Looks like Mr. Zimmer is just here to observe, and with the Freeman Group, a big yer in the lead, thatnd in the western
suburbs is probably out of our reach.”
“Sigh... You''re right. It''s a shame to have made this trip for nothing. We can only offer our early congrattions to the Freeman
Group.”
The crowd sighed in disappointment.
Faye heard everything and felt even more pleased. She stood up, smiling humbly at thepany representatives in front and
behind her, appearing like the host of the event.
“| apologize for any inconvenience, but | must admit that the Freeman Group is determined to get this piece ofnd. This might
disappoint everyone, but rest assured, | won’t let your efforts go in vain. Everypany participating in today’s bidding event will
have the opportunity to coborate with the Freeman Group on the subsequent development of the western suburbs.”
Faye’s words sparked excitement among the attendees. Initially, their hopes for thend were low, but now they had the chance
to work alongside the Freeman Group, and it felt like an unexpected stroke of luck!
Everyone showered Faye with praise and ttery.
“Madam Freeman is truly generous. With you leading the Freeman Group, it’s bound to prosper!”
“Yes, | agree. Our Sky Legion Construction is renowned in this area. Madam Freeman, please do consider us!”
Amidst this wave ofpliments, Faye felt elevated. So, this is the kind of position that allN?velDrama.Org content rights.
companies strive fot, the one with authority and power.
How satisfying!
Suppressing her excitement, Fayeposed herself and gestured for everyone to quiet down “Rest assured, when the time
comes, you only need to submit your project proposals. The Freeman Group will select three outstanding proposals from those
and coborate for the collective benefit.”
“Fantastic! Madam Freeman, you''re so impressive and generous!”
This round of praise solidified the Freeman Group’s positive reputation. Erin, too, felt gratified by the ttery. Then, she turned
her head and instinctively nced at Sheena’s direction, only to find that Sheena was casually ying with her phone,
seemingly unconcerned.
Erin huffed and walked up to Sheena’s seat, saying rudely, “Sheena, when the hostes out, they''ll announce that thend
belongs to the Freeman Group. Everyone in the audience is cheering for the Freeman Group. Why don’t you say a few
complimentary words too?”
Sheena put down her phone, smirking. “Don’t be so eager just yet. What if the Freeman Group loses out in the bidding? Won''t
you all be embarrassed?”
Erin thought Sheena’sment was nothing more than her overestimating herself. After all, how could it not belong to the
Freeman Group? There was nopany present that couldpete with them!
Erin stared at her mockingly as a malicious idea shed in her mind. “How about a bet?”
