Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 944

Chapter 944 Lionel Is Helpless

As Victoria stared blankly at the two distinguished figures slowly walking towards the elevator, the surrounding employees began to discuss among themselves.

“That's the heiress from the internationally renowned fashion company 'De Lux'. She has such a great aura, truly a perfect match for our CEO.”

“I heard that De Lux is planning to launch a new luxury product soon, and they want LG Corporation to endorse it. That's why they've sent the heiress over to negotiate.”

“The CEO personally came down to welcome her, he must be planning to allocate all the resources for the next month to De Lux.”

“Although there are several companies bidding this time, it's pretty much decided that the contract will go to the De Lux.”

“Indeed, De Lux has a strong cooperative relationship with the LG Corporation as an international major brand.”

“There's nothing particularly surprising about the CEO allocating all the promotional resources for the next month to De Lux products.”

Hearing that, Victoria's pretty face turned pale, and her body couldn't help but start to tremble.

She had spent more than half a month preparing for this bid.

Do I really have to stand by and watch as De Lux takes everything away?

She hadn't heard that De Lux was releasing new products this month.

That was why she mustered up the courage to prepare for this bid, aiming to secure the promotional resources of LG Corporation for the upcoming month through her own hard work.

As long as there was promotion from LG Corporation, she was confident in launching this series new products into the international market.

And , too, could elevate its market value through this product line, successfully go public listed, and squeeze into the ranks of international luxury goods.

Despite all her careful calculations and predictions, she didn't foresee that De Lux would launch a new product at this time.

Once De Lux took part in the bidding, the chances of winning at that time would be very, very low.

The assistant stood by her side, lowering her voice to say, “Ms. Saunders, since we've already come this far, let's not give up so easily.”

“If you don't even have the courage to compete head-on with De Lux, how will you lead our company into the ranks of luxury brands in the future?”

The assistant's words gave Victoria some confidence.

As she lifted her gaze, her eyes once again met with Lionel, who had already stepped into the elevator.

This time, there was a hint of complexity in Lionel's eyes.

Before Victoria had the chance to decipher the meaning behind his gaze, the elevator doors abruptly closed.

As she gazed at the tightly shut elevator doors, a hint of self-mockery flashed in Victoria's eyes.

In her current state, she was alone without any support, status or background. She was struggling to make her way in the business world, fighting for survival against all odds.

More importantly, her body had taken a severe toll after her last miscarriage, making it difficult for her to conceive again in the future.

The Gezmond family lineage had continued for a century, she could not be the one to break the lineage.

So why should she bother dwelling on that last shred of old affection?

Their relationship is over.

Now, he was a free man, and a diamond bachelor sought after by countless ladies of high society worldwide.

Forgetting her would make his life more exciting.

“Let's go. We'll head to the planning department and hand over our proposal. As for whether it gets chosen or not, we'll leave it to fate. I've done my best.”

The assistant looked at her with a touch of sympathy.

These days, Ms. Saunders has been under too much pressure.

This is her first battle since taking the helm of Saunders Group. If she can't secure the contract with LG Corporation, then Saunders Group's new product won't be able to reach international markets.

If we can't break into the international market, then this massive investment will be completely wasted.

When working on this project before, Ms. Saunders repeatedly assured the shareholders that she would definitely take the new products of this series beyond our borders, presenting them to the world.

But now...

“Ms. Saunders, why don't we give Ms. Jefferson a call? She has a wide network, so she should have a way to secure this contract.”

Victoria couldn't help but laugh, teasingly said, “Look for Bailey? We might as well look for Lionel. After all, he is my ex-husband.

“Let's go. This time, I'm not relying on anyone. If I succeed, it's my fortune. If I fail, it's my fate. There are some things in life that you just can't force.

“Moreover, De Lux is one of the top ten international brands, even LG Corporation wouldn't dare to take them lightly.

“As long as they give me a fair chance to compete, I will have nothing to complain about even if I lose.”

The assistant really wanted to say... Didn't you hear their discussion just now? They said the positions have already been decided internally. Even if they give us a chance to compete, it's just a formality.

But when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back down.

Deep down, they all knew very well that De Lux was bound to win this bidding by sending the heiress.

If Saunders Group got the contract, the new product of De Lux would simply go down the drain.

As the leading figure in the fashion industry, how could they let such a situation occur?

So, De Lux wouldn't give any competitor an advantage.

“Ms. Saunders, I have faith in you.”

...

Victoria gave a smile, but said nothing.

She also believed that every effort would be rewarded, unless one cheated for personal gain.

And such an outcome was beyond her control, so she had no choice but to reluctantly accept the arrangements of fate.

Top Floor Office.

After leading Lynda to the sofa, Lionel frowned and asked, “Didn't De Lux decide not to release any new products this month? Why the sudden change of plans?”

“Lynda, it's the transition period between spring and summer now. You can totally postpone it for a month and launch the summer collection directly, because the season is about to change.”

Lynda flicked her voluminous curls and flashed a captivating smile.

She was a quintessential Adrunian with prominent features and skin as smooth as cream. Coupled with her cutting-edge fashion sense, she exuded the charm of a modern woman.

“The collection we're launching this time is summer wear, Nell. We've established a long-term collaboration, remember? LG Corporation must allocate the resources for the next month to me.”

Rubbing her forehead with a hint of a headache, Lionel sighed. “You guys said there wouldn't be any new products this month, so LG Corporation announced a bid...”

Several large corporations had already submitted their proposals, all vying for LG Corporation's promotional resources for the upcoming month.

“Now, you suddenly ask me to promote De Lux's new products. What should I do about those companies that have already submitted their bids?”

With a playful smile, Lynda confidently said, “I will personally visit them and make them withdraw their bids.”

If they refused, then De Lux would spare no effort to suppress them, showing no mercy.

“I'm curious to see if they can still survive in the marketplace under the pressure of De Lux.”

Lionel squinted slightly, falling silent for a moment before tentatively asking, “Do you absolutely need the promotional resources for the next month? Can't it be postponed by a month?

“I won't beat around the bush, I want to give the promotional resources for the next month to a friend of mine. She's in dire need of it right now.”

Lynda gave a charming smile, but a hint of coldness flickered in the depths of her eyes.

She knew who he was referring to as a 'friend'. It was precisely because she knew, that she came to Hallsbay to compete for resources.

“Nell, if you don't want your friend to be driven into a corner by De Lux, advise her to step aside and let us take its course.”

Lionel pursed her thin lips.

He knew that Lynda wasn't exaggerating. With her influence, suppressing Saunders Group would be as easy as lifting a finger.

Saunders Group had not yet established in the luxury goods industry steadily. It could possibly not recover after a setback.
