If not for the start of the bidding. Thea had no doubt that they would do it in the Langstaff family's lounge
Downstairs, Mason, who was standing on the stage, had already started his harangue and especially emphasized the introduction of Aiden at lastThis content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"My father would do anything to support his precious son. Teri pouted with disdain in her eyes. "An illegitimate child is valued just because he has a thing below. He even tries to step on my shoulder to support his son." Teri and Thea stood in a corner. Under the light and shadow, they were especially eye-catching. Teri didn't hide her disappointment at all, while Thea smiled. "Are you indignant? Then we'll let them regret it later."
They were not the same kind of people. However, they supported each other to reach where they were today because they had a common enemy. Now, no one could retreat.
As the host. Teri had to entertain the guests. Thea, on the other hand, stayed in the corner and listened to the various speeches from the bidders, which were all nonsense and garbage
A shadow enveloped Thea. Aiden's face had a dark smile on it. "How dare you appear in front of me?*
"Mr. Langstaff." Thea nodded slightly and turned her look away. After exchanging greetings, Aiden was completely ignored.
His eyes were filled with madness. "Ever since Amelia went out with you that day, there has been no news of her. What did
do to her?"
you
He grabbed Thea's wrist, and soon, there were red marks on it.
Thea looked coldly at his dirty hands on her pure skin. Her aura was as domineering as Nicolas's, and it even scared Aiden into letting go. "Mr. Langstaff, please respect yourself. Whatever happened to your lover has nothing to do with me. Anyway... she deserves it." Thea added, "Or are you trying to push the blame on me?" She was too calm and stamped on Aiden's pride.
Aiden was concerned about the man behind her. He did not dare to show his hatred on his face, but his teeth were gritted If anything really happens to Amelia, I won't let you off."
Did Amelia really fall in love with Aiden? It had to be admitted that Amelia was really an expert in seducing men.
Thea remained silent. Aiden felt frustrated and could not even tell whether he was angry or just too embarrassed. "At least, you're over in the bidding today!"
Thea had never taken Aiden's threat to heart. She was a doer, not a garbage listener.
On the stage, the bidding was still ongoing. Quite a few of the company representatives were Thea's acquaintances. Anyone with an eye could tell the difference. Soon, it was Sparkle Rocks's turn. The light shone on Thea's stunning face. She slowly walked up the stage with a confident smile on her lips.
"You're the best!" The moment they brushed shoulders with Teri, their eyes lit up. This was a battle of honor.
Meanwhile, somewhere down the stage, Emmalie watched helplessly as Thea walked in confident footsteps. Even her heart was clenched tightly. "Wait!" Suddenly, a voice sounded.
It was Aiden. He looked at Thea with a smile. "Miss Rowland, it's rare for you and your sister to appear on the same occasion.
and also, as competitors. As an elder sister, shouldn't you give into your younger sister? Dreamedia is a fledging company, and all of us are really looking forward to what proposal they can give us
Without Aiden's rigged connections, Dreamedia wouldn't have been qualified. The other competitors did not take this new company seriously at all. After all, the Langstaff Group's bidding was not just Aiden's personal affair.
The shareholders were all sitting below. After listening to all the ports, they would determine the most suitable and beneficial plan and choose the cooperator for the next three years. So what was Aiden trying to do? The order did not aff the shareholders' judgment at all. "Aiden, the order has been set. Why are you messing around?" Mason was kind of dissatisfied.
Aiden was still smiling. He looked into Thea's eyes provocatively Ive always heard that the Rowland sisters have some conflicts. I'm just curious and want to verify it."
Everyone more or less knew about their relationship, but Aiden was the first to bring it up in public.
Emmalie blushed and hid behind Duncan. "Mr. Langstaff, we're confident in our plan. We don't need Thea to give in. Even if we're ostracized and arranged to the end just because we're rookies, we will accept it."
"You're family after all. And family should help each other. It's a traditional virtue. Miss Rowland, Could it be that
sister?" even give up such an insignificant order to your
you won't
Thea hated being pushed to the moral high ground. She frowned. "Why should I? The order was decided by your company.
not me.
She said bluntly. "Mr. Aiden Langstaff, it seems that Mr. Mason Langstaff has never announced you're the heir in public. Are you so eager to be the head of the Langstaff family? What about Miss Langstaff and the other shareholders? Did you ask about their opinions?" No one had ever seen such a drama during the bidding. The Langstaff Group's shareholders all looked at Aiden with dissatisfaction. He was indeed a petty illegitimate child. Even the way he talked sounded so abject
iss Rowland. My brother has never been smart since In the end, it was Teri who came up to smooth things over for him. "Miss he was young, and he doesn't talk with his head. Please continue your speech. Don't worry about him."
Now, Aiden's plan was ruined, and even got himself humiliated in front of all the business partners. He could only grit his teeth and watch Thea shine on stage.
Thea had been working in Avon Ventures for many years. Although she did not take on the position of general manager, she had always done Jake's job. There was no doubt about her professionalism.
And this time, she was quite satisfied with her preparations. Not only did she hit the Langstaff family's pain points, but she also introduced all of Sparkle Rocks's advantages. When it came to her expertise, Thea stood upright and was glowing.
Suddenly, thunderous applause sounded in the arena. All the shareholders' eyes were filled with admiration.
Thea enjoyed such a glorious sense of achievement. No one would be happier than her when the plan she had worked on overnight succeeded.
At this moment, a strange sound came from behind. The USB drive in Emmalie's hand fell to the ground. If it were not for Duncan supporting her, she would have fallen heavily to the ground.
What are you up to this time? Thea frowned. A bad feeling rose from the bottom of her heart.
"Thea..." Emmalie took a deep breath and her eyes turned teary. You've loved to snatch my things since we were kids. No matter what happens between us, we're still sisters so I'm willing to give it to you. L7 W.
"But I have spent endless sleepless nights on this proposal. How ould you snatch my work? This is Dreamedia's debut. Do you just desperately want to get me humiliated in public?"
Most of the onlookers around her had already believed her words.
"She has been domineering since she was young. I heard that her sister has been living in the dark in the family because of
her."
"And now she even tries to rob her sister's work?"
That speech almost made me believe that she's indeed talented. It turned out that she's just a talented robber!"
