NovelEnglishWilliam looked awkward. At this moment, the elevator stopped and he quickly changed the subject. He invited
Theo to enter the elevator.
When we arrived at the ballroom, many people cto greet Theo. William took the opportunity to slip off.
Theo glanced back at him and askedwith a smile, "You usually hardly say anything when you cout with
me. Why did you say so many things to William today? Did he offend you before?"
| shrugged and blandly replied, "He did offendbefore, and | hate his guts very much. Not only did he
abandon his wife and son, but he often harasses her as well. This is obviously his own company, but he likes to
claim that his wife runs the company. I've never met such a shameless person."
Theo raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Do you mean he didn't remarry? But Keith's investigation said that he's
remarried."
"It's impossible. Lally said he's been single since their divorce because marriage would stop him from hooking up
with other ladies. Only by claiming that this company belongs to his wife is he able to use the company to do
shady businesses."

| furiously said. Theo stroked my face with a smile. "Alright now. It's not worth getting mad at people like that."
| was just about to speak when Elena walked over.
She handed Theo a file, then glanced unkindly at me. She was displeased by the fact that | was here and
portrayed her displeasure on her face.
1 did not care and was not in the mood to entertain her.
Theo read the document and asked her, "Is Zukariah Group a company that specializes in investment?"
Elena shook her head. "They used to specialize in investment but started progressing in other directions in the
last two years. A very young chairperson was recently appointed, so their development isn't really good. You can
just give it a pass."
Theo nodded and asked, "Who's the person in charge of the bid at Zukariah?"
Elena was surprised to see that he was interested in the company.
"The chairman herself. She's the daughter of the last chairman and has just graduated from high school. As the
company didn't develop very well during the previous chairman's incumbency, the young girl took over when he
fell ill. The company is now on the verge of closing down."
Theo frowned, thinking about something.
Elena had always been a great worker. She was the one in charge of the entire bidding process, so Theo and | did
not need to do anything. We merely watched from below the stage, waiting for all the bidders to finish
presenting their proposals before we made the final decision.
By the tthe bidding session was almost over, | nearly dozed off as well.
At this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded in my ears. It sounded a little childish, so the person was
probably not too old. | opened my eyes and looked at the person on stage with interest. Other than her, there
was probably not a single person in the entire ballroom who was younger than 30 years old. When a girl in her
teens appeared on the stage, it instantly captured everyone's attention. She was wearing black overalls, looking

However, her expression looked like that of an adult. Her countenance was serious, and her gaze was cold. She
glanced at the adults beneath the stage and calmly presented her bid proposal.
Her content would never capture the interest of those in the industry because there was nothing particularly
outstanding about her content. It was even somewhat boring and generic. Compared to other companies, hers
could be said to be uncompetitive.
My attention was not on her bid proposal but on her face.
A girl this young was exuding such a gloomy aura as though her soul had left her physical body.
| did not think | was exaggerating at all. This girl did givesuch a feeling.
When the girl was done presenting and got off stage, my gaze could not help but follow her up until she sat
down on her seat. | was just about to withdraw my gaze when she suddenly looked over at me. When our eyes «
met, | suddenly felt chills racing down my spine.
