Chapter 467

" Matters regarding the mall are reserved for those who are prepared." Robert smiled indifferently.

" Do you think you' re going to win for sure? I'm telling you! Perennial Financial Group will be investing in Zabel Group. How can you compete with Zabel Group then?" Charlotte thundered, showing her loyalty to Yahaira.

Robert merely shrugged and glanced at Adrian.

At this moment, Adrian was no longer arrogant as before. Instead, he smiled flatteringly at Robert and opened his mouth as if to say something but eventually decided against it.

" Ms. Zabel, if you have time, you are welcome to attend the celebration party of Zabinski Group." Robert laughed as he left.

As Robert left, the rest of the supervisors from other companies in the hall found no reason to stay any longer. They all hurriedly left the hotel, seemingly heading to Zabinski Group.

Yahaira's place fell silent in an instant.

Adrian's phone rang, and the ringtone sounded

extremely piercing in comparison. He glanced at the caller, and his face darkened significantly. He gripped the phone tight and dared not answer it for a long time.

But the phone kept ringing. When Adrian didn't answer it the first time, the phone rang for a few more.

Finally, Adrian couldn't bear the pressure, so he picked up the phone.

" Hello, Sir."

" Adrian! You'd better give me an explanation!" There was a roar on the other end of the phone." Is this what you found out?" I told you that without a satisfactory explanation, Perennial Financial Group would not acknowledge this contract! You have to bear all the consequences yourself!"

Adrian's forehead was already covered with cold sweat. His mind was in overdrive when he answered, " Sir, I am communicating with the supervisor of Zabel Group. But unfortunately, the Zabel Group has other arrangements for this matter. I' ll give you a call when it's resolved."

"I' ll give you an hour. I need a satisfactory answer, or you' re fired!" A warning sounded on the other end of the phone, and the call ended.

Adrian's back was drenched in a cold sweat. He recalled the 400 thousand dollars in his bank balance and felt extremely uneasy.

Charlotte suddenly took Adrian's arm and complained, " Honey, Robert is so shameless. How dare he steal Yahaira's business? Do you want to tell the company to invest in Yahaira's company so that she can get the business back?"

" Invest? Damn it!" Adrian cursed in his heart. " If this stupid woman hadn't taken Yahaira's money,I wouldn't have been forced to sign the contract. Now that Zabel Group failed to get the project, the company would not acknowledge the investment, and it would likely be considered that I had signed the contract out of my own initiative!"

Adrian had already figured out what would happen to him. The best ending was that the company would fire him, and he would have to find a way to return the money to Yahaira.

Everything would return to its original state. His bright future was ruined, and he would have to start over.

This was actually the most desirable outcome. If the company wanted to investigate further, he would probably end up in prison!

As he looked at Charlotte, Adrian resisted the impulse to hit her but pushed her away instead. Then he strode out of the hotel.

Adrian's attitude made Charlotte feel extremely wronged. She looked at Yahaira and hoped the latter would stand up for her.

But Yahaira ignored Charlotte's gaze and walked directly past Charlotte as if she didn't know this person.

Charlotte stood there, unsure how to respond.

At 10:30 a. m., Robert announced the news of winning the bid to the company. A burst of cheers came from the Bay City project department, and everyone felt a huge sense of relief.

They were under too much pressure during the process!

Based on the circumstances, Lionel was supporting Zabel Group. No one thought Zabinski Group had an opportunity, and all outsiders felt that Zabinski Group was unwilling to face the truth.

During this period, many people ridiculed the Bay City project department.
