Just as Jane was wondering, the doors of the conference room swung open again, and a tall, slender man in a ck trench coat walked in.


    Jane lifted her gaze, locking eyes with a pair of profound and cold eyes.


    It was him!


    The man she had encountered at the airport.


    None other than Antony, the CEO of BPL.


    And the middle-aged man following Antony was none other than Winston!


    Jane squinted slightly. When did Winston get involved with Antony? Did he have anything to do with the ne crash involving her and Patrick? Patrick had been investigating for so long without finding concrete evidence.


    If it was indeed Winston’s doing, leaving no trace, then this matter was far from simple. But Winston trying to seize power during Patrick’s disappearance was an indisputable fact. It seemed Old Pansy, out of leniency, had let Winston off the hook.


    Unexpectedly, Winston had now allied with Antony, redirecting his hostility toward Pansy Group.


    Winston had worked at Pansy Group for over twenty years and knew its operations inside out. His move to BPL was not good news for Pansy Group.


    The host stepped onto the stage, cleared his throat, and began, “Wee, everyone, to the North Bay Project bidding meeting. Next, eachpany will introduce its n for the North Bay Project.”


    When the host reached Pansy Group, Jane confidently walked up to the stage.


    “At Pansy Group, we n to build arge amusement park. It’s well-known that Guavocks its ownrge amusement park. Our proposal is to construct a world-ss amusement park…” Jane began her speech with a poised and graceful smile.


    Patrick sat in his seat, his deep gaze fixed on the confident woman on stage.


    She was still the same,posed, calm, confident, and elegant.


    Dazzling, making it impossible to look away.


    Seeing Patrick staring at Jane so intently, with a softness she had never seen before in his eyes, Queena’s heart churned with infinite jealousy.


    She clenched her fists secretly, ring at Jane.


    Jane, you won’t be proud for long!


    Soon, I’ll show you how capable I am!


    A hint of maliciousness shed in Queena’s eyes.


    At that time, she would make sure Jane’s reputation crumbled, forcing Patrick out of Pansy Group!


    Two hourster, the host concluded the meeting. “Eachpany has presented its project ns. In two days, we will hold the official bidding meeting, where eachpany’s bids will be revealed, and the highest bidder will win.”


    Back at Pansy Group, Patrick summoned Jane to the CEO’s office.


    “Calcte the bid as soon as possible,” Patrick said in a calm tone.


    Jane nodded, “Sure.”


    Back at her desk, Jane worked diligently, initially calcting the bid.


    At the end of the workday, Jane left the Pansy Group building, preparing to return to the East City Garden.


    Suddenly, a car stopped in front of her.


    Two bodyguards in ck stepped out, one on each side of Jane. “Miss North, our young master requests your presence.”


    Jane nonchntly nced at them. “Who’s your young master?”


    “It’s me.” The car window rolled down slowly, revealing a handsome face with wheat-colored skin. There was a hint of arrogance and indifference.


    “Antony?” Jane was slightly surprised at the man sitting in the back seat.


    How could it be him?


    “Miss North, please get in the car!” The two bodyguards made a gesture, bowing slightly.


    Jane pondered for two seconds, then stepped into the car.


    She was curious to see what Antony was up to.


    “What do you want?” Jane raised an eyebrow, ncing at Antony as she asked.


    Antony squinted slightly, his deep gaze assessing Jane. “Nothing much, just wanted to invite Miss North to dinner. Will you honor me with your presence?”


    His gaze was like a cheetah staring at its prey, making Jane feel a bit ufortable.


    Meeting his eyes, Jane nodded faintly.


    Half an hourter, Antony took Jane to a chic upscale hotel. “Miss North, please.”Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Jane followed Antony into a private room.


    “Antony, you didn’t just invite me to dinner, did you?” Jane sat down and asked straightforwardly.


    Antony hooked his lips. “Miss North, you once saved me. Is it too much to invite you to dinner?,”


    Pausing, he took out a check and handed it to Jane. “This is a token of appreciation for Miss North.”


    “It was just a small gesture, and anyone would have done the same.” Jane calmly pushed the check back.


    Seeing Jane’s refusal, Antony furrowed his brows. “Since Miss North refuses to ept, I won’t insist. However, I hope we can be friends.”


    “Our positions are different, destined not to be friends. Thanks for dinner tonight.” Jane suddenly stood up and walked towards the door of the private room.


    The bodyguard at the door extended his hand, blocking Jane. “Miss North, please sit back.”


    Jane’s eyes narrowed, and she spoke coldly, “Move aside!”


    Jane’s voice was not loud, but it carried an infinite prating force. The two bodyguards exchanged a nce, and Antony’s cold voice came, “Let Miss North go.”


    “Yes, Mr. Li!” The two bodyguards immediately stepped aside, making way.


    Jane walked out of the hotel, back to the East City Garden. Just as she entered themunity gate, her phone rang.


    She took out her phone, nced at it, and saw Antony’s call.


    “Antony, is there any new development about Queena?” Jane clenched her phone and answered the call.


    Antony, however, answered with a different question, “Ada, guess where I am right now?”


    Jane frowned. “Just spit it out!”


    Anthonyughed heartily, “Look up.”


    Jane subconsciously looked up. From the flower bed on the side of the road, a young man of medium build, with dyed blond hair and a hint of rascality, jumped down, looking at her with a smirk.


    “Anthony? How did youe to Guavo?” Jane was slightly surprised.


    Antony raised an eyebrow, feigning a slightly aggrieved look. “What, Ada, not happy to see me?”


    Jane hung up the phone, put it away, and spoke nonchntly, “Weren’t you traveling the world?”


    “So, I traveled to Guavo and decided to see you, Ada.” Anthony smirked yfully.


    Jane raised an eyelid. “Get to the point!”


    From her understanding of Antony, his appearance was definitely not as simple as he imed.


    Sure enough, as they entered the gate, Antony put away his smirk, his tone bing serious. “Ada, I’ve found some information about Queena and came specifically to tell you.”
