    Chapter 141 I Would Make Walter Marry Me


    Before I could ask, Olivia said, “Tabatha, I’ve heard some news. It’s about several new projects that


    River City is about to develop. It seems that the city government has marked off somend in the south


    of the city, nning to move there and start construction next spring. They are currently preparing to


    tender.”


    A new project?


    I paused, looking at her and asked, “Where did you get this news?” River City was only so big, and the


    Conner Group had been surviving in River City for decades. Although it had encountered many


    problems recently, it still had a good understanding of many things. Logically, if there were new projects


    in the city, thepany should have heard about it a long time ago. However, Alexander and I just


    found out about this, which made me somewhat surprised.


    ”


    “I heard it from my uncle,” Olivia began, continuing, “He works at the city hall. I went to their house for


    dinnerst night, and he mentioned. the project funding at the dinner table. I remembered that


    Alexander had mentioned finding a project for the Conner Group before, so I specifically came to talk to


    you guys about it.”


    After speaking, she looked at Alexander, her delicate little face showing an unstoppable infatuated


    expression.


    Alexander probably couldn’t stand her infatuated expression, he avoided her gaze and looked at me,


    saying, “If what she said is true, then we can try topete for these projects.”


    I nodded, looking at Olivia, “Have you inquired about the bidding. time?”

    Olivia shook his head, “I didn’t ask.”


    Alexander said, “This isn’t difficult. Since it’s a municipal government bid, it will definitely be open for


    bidding. We can prepare in advance, it won’t be hard to find out the time and ce.”


    I slightly furrowed my brows, momentarily uncertain.


    Seeing that I was silent, Alexander asked, “Is there a problem?”


    I hesitated for a moment, then replied, “I was thinking, this matter might not be as simple as we


    imagined. The projects that start after the New Year, logically, should have been open for bidding at


    least half a year in advance. But we only heard a bit of news from Olivia now, which indicates that

    these projects might have already been taken. By the time the official bidding announcement is


    released, it might just be a formality. If we go, we might just be cannon fodder.”


    Alexander slightly furrowed his brows, “I really overlooked this operation in the country.”


    I took a slight breath, this was an open secret, everyone wanted a money-making project, but there


    were only so many projects avable. Whether you could get one or not, depended on how strong your


    connections were.


    Nothing could ever bepletely fair and just, the so-called open bidding was just to make it seem fair


    to theyman on the surface.


    After a moment of silence, I looked at Olivia and said, “Olivia, could you do us a favor and find out the


    specific time of the tender, as well as who is the main person in charge of this project?”


    “Alright, I’ll ask my uncle about it,” Olivia agreed.


    After discussing matters, Olivia and Alexander ordered food, and I got up to go to the restroom.

    When I came back from the restroom, I happened to run into some acquaintances. Actually, it wasn’t so


    much running into them as it was seeing them. The restroom of the restaurant was at the end of two


    rows of private rooms, so when I came out, I saw two acquaintances in one of the private rooms.


    The Hinton family, Carley and Ashley.


    Seeing any one of them outside wouldn’t have surprised me. What was surprising was seeing them


    together in a private room, seemingly in a discussion.


    No one knew what the two had discussed, but it probably didn’t go well. Carley suddenly threw the


    teacup on the table at Ashley, shouting angrily. “Ashley, how dare you!”


    Ashley just sat in her seat, not avoiding the teacup that was thrown at her, but rather, she took it head-


    on with her forehead. In a moment, her fair forehead began to swell and turn red.


    Perhaps because there was no one else around, she looked at Carley with a brazen sneer,


    provocatively saying, “Why wouldn’t I dare? Haven’t you already seen the divorce agreement that


    Tabatha gave to Walter? As long as Walter signs it, I’ll beg him to marry me. What does it matter if you


    don’t agree now? You’re already old and on the verge of death. Even if Walter is obedient to you, how


    long can you control him? I tell you, as soon as you die, who Walter marries is none of your business.”
