Revenge Of The Billionaire Girl -
Chapter 51 Who Do You Think You Are?
People started bidding. Soon, it was Drake's turn.
As the richest man in Sealand, Drake was outstanding. His showing up attracted many people.
People nodded during his speech. They knew that compared with the Riley Group, they were no one.
Then, it was Sophia's turn.
Sophia was wearing a black suit, which made her look smart. There were not many women here, she attracted a lot of attention. "About this project, I think..."
When Sophia spoke, Flynn was once again dumbfounded. "Is this Sophia I know?"
"Yes!" Bailey confirmed it.
Drake's eyes never left Sophia.
"Okay, that's all. Thank you all!" Sophia stepped down from the stage with a great aura.
During the break, everyone came out to take a breath. People knew that they could not get the bid. They stayed there just to see who would win. Sophia and Chloe went to the bathroom, chatting in an easy tone along the way. When they came out, they met Drake, Flynn, and Bailey again. Chloe glared at them.
Sophia continued walking as if she hadn't seen them.
Flynn stopped Sophia. "Hey, Sophia!"
Chloe looked at him speechlessly. "Who do you think you are? Do you know her well? You should call her Ms. Lawson, not Sophia!"
Sophia said without giving Flynn a glance, "Ignore them."
Chloe snorted. She glanced at them arrogantly before leaving with Sophia.
Drake, however, stood in Sophia's way.
His gaze was so penetrating as if he had read Sophia's mind.
Sophia raised her head and asked as if he had been a stranger, "Sir, what's the matter?"
"Did you come to Sealand a long time ago?"
He had been looking for her in all sorts of ways ever since they parted at university, but many things showed that she had kept watching over him but hidden in the dark for a long time. The corners of Sophia's mouth were raised. "Mr. Riley, what do you mean? Does where I am has anything to do with you?"
Drake grabbed her wrist and stared at her. "If you did, why did you show up in front of me only now?"
Sophia took her hand back directly. "When I show up here, and whether or not I want to show up in front of you, has nothing to do with you. Drake, are you nuts?" Drake tried again to grab her wrist, but this time Sophia didn't give him the chance.
Sophia warned, "Mr. Riley, I think you know where we are now. Stop messing around with me. It will affect my reputation."
After that, she left directly.
Flynn was speechless. "She didn't care about her reputation when she messes around with the guys..."
Before he finished speaking, he noticed Drake's glare.
Flynn clasped his hands together, begging for mercy.
They went back to the venue and the result of the bidding was about to be announced.
Sophia would be lying if she said that she wasn't nervous. After all, it was a big project. A
Ithough Sophia was confident in herself, the Skylane Group was a newcomer. It was not as good as those well-established companies.
"Okay, let's announce the results now. The winner goes to the Riley Group!"
There was no surprise at all!
The Riley Group was the most powerful group in Sealand. Even if no representatives attended the bidding event this time, the Riley Group could take the project. No one was disappointed. After all, compared with the Riley Group, they were really far behind.
"And the Skylane Group!"
Sophia sat there, too surprised to react.
Chloe didn't expect that. She seemed confident this time, but she really didn't have much confidence. The reason why they came, of course, was just to have a try. One must have a dream. What if it came true?
Now it seemed that... it had really come true!
No, what was going on here?
Everyone looked puzzled. The government gave the answer.
"The project is very large. No company could handle it by itself. Therefore, after consideration, we decided to have more companies participate in it. So, the winners also include, the Duncan Group and the Price Group."
The four companies would undertake this project together.
This time, it surprised many people. The Riley Group, the Duncan Group, and the Price Group were all powerful. Although the Skylane Group had developed very well in Sealand in recent years, it was just surprising that it defeated so many old companies.
The audience left one by one. Harris Sutton came over and said with a smile, "I am the project leader. I'll be in charge of communicating with you on this project. It is a great honor to work with so many excellent entrepreneurs in Sealand." He reached out and shook hands with people.
Drake, Bailey, and Flynn all shook hands, but when it came to Sophia, Harris felt the pressure from Drake.
While he was hesitating about whether to shake hands with her, Sophia took the initiative.
"May us have a good cooperation!" Sophia spoke first.
Harris glanced at Drake, then touched his nose innocently.
"We will talk about the cooperation later. And we should have a meal another day to get to know each other."
Harris was a new employee of the government and he was about the same age as Drake. Therefore, they did not know him before.
Everyone agreed.
Harris thought he should better leave as soon as possible. Drake was scary.
In fact, when the government made the decision, it didn't take too much into consideration. It was only because those four companies were good enough. Their performances had convinced the government that they were trustworthy. However, it seemed that Harris would have a hard time while working with Drake and Sophia. Fortunately, with Flynn and Bailey in, he was not so alone.
Sophia didn't intend to stay. When she was about to leave, Flynn said, "Sophia, let's have a meal together. After all, we took this project. We should celebrate it."
"No, you guys go celebrating. Don't worry about me."
Sophia and Chloe left.
All three looked over.
"I still can't believe that it is Sophia. When she was in school, she was good at nothing except for studies."
