Chapter 548: Chapter 543 Divided by Groups_1
Gillian Thompson was so confident, and Catrina Rodgurez had promised to help. The result wouldn’t be too disappointing, would it?
“You say you are capable, your sister-in-law, I want to see what you’re truly capable of.”
Ethan Hopkins looked very confident.
He knew his proposal was terrible this time, but if there was some backstage collusion, perhaps it could flip the situation.
Gillian Thompson’s mouth twitched, and she bowed her head guiltily.
Catrina Rodgurez had promised to speak well of them, but she didn’t promise to help make a pile out of mud.
Ethan Hopkins’ bid was so abysmal that everyone in the room could see how bad it was.
If this kind of bid could win the project, perhaps as soon as the news came out, Dion Rodgurez would be investigated and thrown into jail.
“Ethan, my sister-in-law promised to help me, but she only promised to speak some good things about us to Dion… Other than that…” Gillian hesitated, not finishing her sentence.
She didn’t feel right outright stating that Ethan Hopkins’ proposal was terrible.
“Is speaking good things on our behalf not helping us? Why were you so delighted then?” Ethan Hopkins sneered, “Gillian Thompson, this time, you wouldn’t dare to let me down again, would you?”
“Last time you set me up with your Thompson family, if you do it again… I’m afraid I can’t guarantee that we will enter the marriage peacefully.”
Threat, this is a naked threat!
Gillian Thompson’s gums trembled in fear, and her palms turned cold.
“Thank you everyone, the result is out.” Dion Rodgurez stepped to the front of the stage with the document, glanced around first, then bowed to everyone, “You are all builders of Sunnydale, and important entrepreneurs in Orientopia. Our development won’t make it without your support. I’m grateful to everyone who came to Sunnydale City to contribute to the development of our city.”
Everyone sat upright below the stage, looking serious.
They are entrepreneurs, but also part of Orientopia.
Dion Rodgurez’s words stirred the passion in their hearts.
Ethan Hopkins squinted his eyes, only realizing when his gaze landed on Damian Thompson and his group that the Thompson family had not bid this time.
Even though they’re present, the Thompsons had given up the chance to bid.
They didn’t want to become Michael Gallagher’s competitor! They directly gave up the project.
The biggest competitor quitting the competition meant carving the path for Michael Gallagher to shine!
Hate gradually spread within Ethan Hopkins.
If it wasn’t for Damian Thompson and Nicholas Thompson deliberately playing him, how could he fail on such a simple thing as a bid?
He should have understood early on that the Thompson family, who didn’t value Gillian Thompson, wouldn’t help her. With the Gallagher family’s mountain in their way, the Thompson family wouldn’t have a turn to help him.
It’s laughable that he didn’t see it, pinning all his hopes here.
He sneered at Gillian Thompson, the disgust in his heart growing thick.
Gillian Thompson’s heart jumped sharply, and she didn’t dare to meet his eyes.
“This project is related to the health of the people, and to the construction of Sunnydale City. I know you are not just here for money, but to contribute to this city.”
“After our comprehensive judgment, considering the planning proposal and the economic strength, we have decided to select Gallagher Group as the responsible company for the A project, with Mr. Michael Gallagher serving as the general person in charge of this A project.”
Apart from Gillian Thompson and Ethan Hopkins, everyone knew it was coming and applauded, congratulating Michael Gallagher.
Gillian Thompson turned pale, and looked sharply at Catrina Rodgurez.
Catrina Rodgurez shrugged helplessly at her.
Ethan Hopkins snorted coldly, ignoring Gillian Thompson, and left.
“Ethan!”
Gillian Thompson suddenly reacted, Ethan Hopkins was probably going to abandon her.
She sat in her wheelchair, suddenly standing up, but forgetting about her recent need to use her crutch. Her body moved forward, and she fell out of control.
With a “bang,” Gillian Thompson fell on the floor.
The atmosphere, it was deadly silence.
This sudden event left everyone around in shock.
Finally, someone reacted and helped Gillian Thompson up. Her face turned from red to pale.
A pair of slender long legs stepped in front of her.
Gillian Thompson looked up and met Molly Walker’s clear, watery eyes.
“Are you happy now, you got your wish?” Gillian Thompson stared at her fiercely, tears swirling in her eyes until they fell down as tear drops.
“I am now homeless, my baby has no father, I can only be a single mother from now on, Ivy Thompson, congratulations, you have completely avenged me!”
Concealing her weeks of grievance was no longer possible, Gillian Thompson cried out loud, “Can’t I just take back what belongs to me? I’m not bothering you anymore, why are you bothering me?”
“My second brother has promised to help Ethan, why do you have to interfere?”
Gillian Thompson was filled with both resentment and injustice.
This was her only chance, but now it was utterly destroyed by Molly Walker.
Her future is over, everything is over.
“Interference?” Molly Walker found it ridiculous, “If we didn’t participate today, do you think the Hopkins family could have secured the A project?”
Gillian Thompson’s cried paused.
There were so many companies here today, and if the Gallagher family didn’t participate, there would still be other companies.
The Hopkins family without the help of the Thompson family had no chance of winning at all.
“Moreover, we’re taking the project not to irritate you, just don’t want this great project to fall into your hands and be trampled on. After all… you’re not worth my bother.”
Molly Walker’s words once again tore away Gillian Thompson’s fig leaves.
Yes, who is she now, and how could she be qualified to be Molly Walker’s opponent.
Gillian Thompson sat down on the ground, her eyes blank.
Now, she had no background, no backstage, even her only boyfriend had dumped her.
She now has nothing…
“Gillian…” a voice pulled her thoughts back.
Catrina Rodgurez was crouched down, patting her face, “Are you okay, Gillian?”
Molly Walker raised an eyebrow as she looked at this person who suddenly appeared.
The girl had been sizing her up, her eyes sharp. She never thought that she knew Gillian Thompson.
“She’s already been hurt enough, can’t you be a little merciful and say less stimulating things?” Catrina Rodgurez couldn’t hold it back anymore and rebuked Molly Walker, “As a woman, how can you lack even basic kindness? You have already won. Stop rubbing salt in other people’s wounds!”
Not being able to help Gillian had already made Catrina feel guilty, she couldn’t hold it back and chided Molly Walker.
She did not show mercy to Molly Walker at all, and as a result, the atmosphere became colder.
Nicholas Thompson strode forward and stood in front of Molly Walker. “Catrina doesn’t know about your relationship with Molly, I apologize on her behalf.”
Catrina Rodgurez was about to rebut when Nicholas gave her a warning look. She shut her mouth and turned away in dissatisfaction.
Seeing the two’s movements, Molly Walker understood.
This person is probably the one Nicholas likes.
Molly Walker smiled slightly, “Birds of a feather flock together.”
