Chapter 113 Aggrieved
For instance, the sons of those families who managed to enter the final circle would be daring enough.
“But what about the business in Pollerton?” Sylvia asked.
After pondering for a while, Conner replied, “Pollerton is going to undergo land reclamation. The economic benefits resulting from this project will be immeasurable. Jennifer indeed has good foresight. It’d be better to let Jennifer take care of the business in Pollerton. From the looks of it, Horizon Group does not harbor ill intentions toward Jennifer. So, I think Jennifer is the best candidate to deal with this project. What do you think?”
“No way!” Sylvia was the first to speak up.
“I disagree!” The second one who voiced out was Nigel’s cousin, Alicia. “The business in Pollerton is what matters the most at the moment. Thus, I’m the most suitable person to handle this. Earthworks and steel structures don’t make money. I believe we should get the entire outsourcing project.”
The outsourcing project that Alicia mentioned included a whole industrial chain, such as foundation construction, excavation, project cost management, and others.
“I’m a woman. Not only that, but I’m also a woman who knows how to make use of my strengths.” With that, Alicia ran her fingers through her hair before adding, “Therefore, I’m the best candidate for negotiations.”
It didn’t matter to Jennifer, and so she remained silent.
“All right, then. Alicia and Jennifer will handle this together. Don’t make a fuss. Try your best to win this project. Jennifer, are you okay with this decision?”
Jennifer shook her head. “I’ll pass. Dad, Mom. Let’s go!”
Alicia then responded, “Don’t worry! After all, I graduated with a master’s degree from a university of science and technology abroad.
“Jennifer, come with me,” ordered Conner.
She hesitated for a while before following behind Conner. They then came to a quiet room.
“Feeling aggrieved?” Conner asked in a friendly manner.
Jennifer replied, “Well, it’s nothing.”
“Please don’t mind Sylvia. That’s how she always behaves. She probably hopes that I can die early.” Conner breathed a sigh before adding, “But I have no choice but to rely on her because she has the Yeager family to back her up. Mateo is facing difficult circumstances at the moment. He couldn’t even make it for my birthday. Thus, we can’t afford to lose her.”
