Chapter 70
Loraine refused without hesitation. "Uncle Rowan, please don't!"
However, Rowan tried his best to persuade her.
"Lorrie, I'm your uncle.
What's wrong with me helping you? Moreover, Bryant Group works in close collaboration with the government. Marco has developed the group into a strong company at such a young age. I'm sure he must have achieved it by some dirty means!"
Loraine massaged her temples.
"Uncle Rowan! I know you are afraid I might suffer losses. But don't you trust your niece? I can win the project without anyone's help!"
Rowan compromised ultimately.
"Fine! You are right! I believe you can win the project with your own ability. I'm going to contact some of my friends and ask the government staff to make this tender open for public assessment. Since you don't want to use any connections, I'll make sure others don't secretly use their influence either."
Meanwhile, two uninvited visitors came to Marco's office.
"Marco, what has kept you busy lately? If we didn't come to your office, we wouldn't have been able to see you." Slater slumped on the sofa and complained.
Marco was still engrossed in work. He didn't bother to look at him.
Jimmie looked at him and sighed. "Gosh, you are a workaholic! I thought we could hang out more often after your divorce. But I barely get to see you now. Things have gotten worse after you divorced." However, Slater wasn't happy to hear that. "I disagree. I'm glad that
Marco is divorced. That woman is good for nothing. She is never good enough for him. Marco has done the right thing divorcing her."
Marco's hand stilled on the document. His head snapped up as he looked at Slater, and his jaw tightened.
"Slater, Loraine is not as bad as you think. She is already the director of the architectural design department of Universe Group."
Think So
Slater curled his lips. "I've heard that Loraine is dating Cayson, the
CEO of Universe Group. I think that's how she got promoted."
"As far as I know, Loraine has already won two projects," Marco said.
"Now she is Leading her team to make the bidding proposal for the smart city project."
Slater and Jimmie exchanged glances, their eyes widening in astonishment.
"How did you know this?" Jimmie asked curiously.
