“Henry, what should we do now?”

Holding the project proposal documents, Henry sighed and said, “Let’s secure the project first and make adjustments during the construction phase.”

The Sabella Group had the option to either accept the original proposal or withdraw from the project. However, since Clement had provoked the situation, and after the stunt Naomi had pulled, Henry was

even less likely to back down.

The only option was to secure the project by maintaining the original price and raising the quality of the

materials.

Clement frowned as he listened to Henry’s words.

The South Glistenville project had become extremely contentious

Back in the Sabella Mansion, Madelyn couldn’t accept it when she heard about the situation from Elaine.

“Why do we have to suffer a loss to secure this project? I can’t accept that. I’m going to talk to Naomi.”

She inquired about Naomi’s location and went straight there.

On her end, Naomi had just finished meeting with a client when she was confronted by Madelyn at the entrance of the coffee shop. “Naomi ”

Seeing Madelyn, Naomi slowed her pace calmly.

Observing Naomi’s calm demeanor, Madelyn arrogantly stated, “Naomi, I used to think the Goodwin Corporation was top–notch, but my brother snagged your project without even breaking a sweat.

“It seems that your father’s skills are just average and that the Goodwin Corporation isn’t very capable.”

Naomi approached her calmly and straightened Madelyn’s collar. “If your father and brother don’t find it hard to handle, feel free to take it.”

“Naomi, you…” Madelyn had been on the verge of losing her temper, but she remembered the purpose of her visit today and quickly regained her haughty demeanor.

“Naomi, the South Glistenville project belongs to my family, and sooner or later, Brendan will be mine too.”

Naomi smiled and replied, “Well, in that case, congratulations in advance.”

Naomi suddenly leaned closer to Madelyn’s ear and whispered, “Madelyn, I can’t help but wonder how much you and your brother will actually profit after working so hard to help the company.”

Madelyn’s expression shifted, and she looked at Naomi. “What do you mean by that?”

Naomi chuckled softly. “It’s exactly as I said.”

Madelyn couldn’t hold back. She stood in Naomi’s way and demanded, “Naomi, if you have something to soy, just spit it out.”

With a half–smile, Naomi pushed Madelyn out of the way and walked toward her car in her high heels.

Madelyn still refused to back down and followed Naomi.

However, Madelyn quickly relented when Naomi shot her a cold, intimidating glare. She had been rattled by their previous confrontation and wanted to avoid something like that from happening again.

Madelyn’s aggressive tactics didn’t affect Naomi. Naomi didn’t lower the bidding price and even submitted the project proposal to Dennis.

In the end, the Sabella family had no choice but to secure the project at the original price while improving the quality of the building materials. Thinking about the years of hard work and the loss of billions of dollars, Clement and Henry couldn’t find any joy in securing the project.

Nevertheless, they had to put on a happy facade and celebrate their corporation’s 20th anniversary, marking this pivotal moment with their success in securing the project.

Invitations were sent out to people in their social circles, including the Goodwin family.

When Christine received the invitation, she immediately called Naomi. “Naomi, do you think your father and I should attend?”

“Of course! You should go!” Naomi replied.

Christine said, “I really don’t want to run into Madelyn’s mother. Bailey’s stepmother will probably be there too. I can’t stand those two.”

Naomi comforted her with a smile. “Mom, just think of it as attending a show. There are sure to be some unexpected twists.”

Christine became wary of her daughter’s words. “Naomi, what do you mean b

something?”
