Chapter 1006:
He had chased Dalores across thousands of miles, only for her to marry someone else. What greater humiliation was there?
âYou just want me to make the Aston family my enemy, donât you?â Eileen said.
As Eileen caught sight of Jaliyah, the woman shot her a sharp glare and murmured something to the man beside her.
The man bore a strong resemblance to Keith, but he lacked Keithâs refined demeanor. He seemed reckless, with an edge of arrogance. He soon rolled his eyes at Eileen.
Eileen turned her gaze away and silently waited for the start of the project bidding.
Ten minutes passed before the emcee stepped onto the stage. He took just three minutes to introduce the project and instruct everyone to submit their bidding documents.
After another ten minutes, the Ferguson Group secured the project, just as expected.
Julio drew significant attention because of this. He delivered a speech on stage, saying, âWe won this bid not just because we offered the lowest price, but also due to the efforts of my business partner, Eileen. She has been extremely stringent about product qualityâ¦â
Many people turned their eyes to Eileen as Julio spoke.
Among them, Keithâs gaze was the most noticeable.
A wild sense of relief flickered in his eyes as he looked at Eileen. Even after Julio concluded his speech and the bidding officially ended, Keith couldnât resist standing up and approaching Eileen.
âEileen, Iâve gone through your bidding proposal, and I have to say, your unique perspectives and understanding of the products genuinely impressed me. Youâve outshined the younger members of my own family with your remarkable talent.â Keithâs praise for Eileen was sincere.

âIâm truly flattered, Mr. Aston. I still have plenty to learn and improve, and thereâs much I can learn from you,â Eileen responded as she stood up, nodding and offering him a warm smile.
Keith replied with a sigh. He couldnât help patting Eileen on the shoulder. âYou did good.â
All his emotions were wrapped up in a simple sentence: âYou did good.â
The edges of his eyes turned slightly red, a detail that didnât escape Eileenâs notice as she stood close to him. She couldnât help but feel a pang of sympathy for Keith and politely saw him off.
Not too far away, Jaliyah and Harrell Aston, the eldest son of the Aston family, followed them slowly. They had overheard every word Keith had spoken to Eileen.
âJust look at your father, talking to Eileen like that. If he ever finds out that Eileen is the daughter of Dottie and him, heâll probably hand over the entire Aston family to her!â Jaliyah said.
Harrell frowned and warned, âWatch your mouth.â
Jaliyah scoffed. âDid I say anything wrong? He treats another personâs daughter better than his own son. How can he say sheâs better than you? Youâ¦â
Jaliyah tried to list some of Harrellâs merits, but she couldnât think of any.
