A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 97

Seeing Bernard’s current state, Aidyn suddenly felt a bit worried.

The CEO had always been good at controlling his emotions, but because of Ms. Shultz, he had lost control several times already.

“Mr. Laurence, you…”

Aidyn wanted to persuade him to let go since he had already broken up with Ms. Shultz. It would be good. for both him and her.

But saying such things seemed a bit harsh to the president.

After all, Ms. Shultz was Mr. Laurence’s first girlfriend, and there must be feelings after so many years of companionship. It was impossible to let go easily.

Bernard glanced at the hesitant Aidyn, trying to calm himself down.

He hid the coldness in his eyes and threw the documents in his hand back to Aidyn.

“Destroy them,” he said with icy voice, void of any emotions, as if he had turned back into the indifferent president.

Aidyn looked at him and didn’t say anything, just tossing the papers on the table into the shredder.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Bernard signaled Aidyn to open it.

“Mr. Laurence.”

Grayer, who was in charge of the review, entered the office.

“The bidding conference is over, and the reviewers unanimously voted for the Clowers Group.”

Grayer respectfully greeted Bernard and reported the results of the bidding conference.

“The Clowers Group?”

Bernard sneered, his face a bit unpleasant.

Realizing that Bernard was unhappy with the Clowers Group, Grayer quickly added, “The results haven’t been announced yet. I came to ask you which group you plan to give the development rights to?”

“What about the bids from other groups?”

“Here.”

Grayer quickly handed the bids to Bernard. He didn’t attend the meeting this afternoon, so he didn’t know the situation of the other groups.

Grayer reported his work to him, and of course, he would bring the bidding documents from other groups in the afternoon.

Bernard quickly understood the plans of those groups after flipping through the files.

He returned the bids to Grayer and coldly said, “Give it to the Clowers Group.”

Although he had conflicts with Jason, the Clowers Group had the most potential in obtaining development rights.

He always acted fairly, not involving emotions. That was his persistence for so many years.

“I’ll go to the venue and announce the results now.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Seeing Bernard’s nod, Grayer left.

After announcing that the Clowers Group had won the development rights, people from the other groups were somewhat disappointed.

They originally thought that Bernard would not give the rights to the Clowers Group because of the conflict.

However, he only asked so many questions just to better understand the Clowers Group’s strength.

Well, they lost. Everyone disappointedly left, except for Sophie who sat there, trembling with anger.

Bernard knew that she wanted the development rights, but he gave them to the Clowers Group.

He simply didn’t care about her!

Sophie clenched her teeth and rushed to Bernard’s office area, wanting to confront him, but was stopped by

security.

“Sorry, ma’am. This area is not open to the public.”

“Don’t you know who I am?”

Sophie’s face turned pale with anger as she pointed at the security guard and yelled, “I am Bernard’s fiancee! How dare you stop me?!”

The security guard was startled, not expecting the woman in front of him to be Mr. Laurence’s fiancee.

“I’m sorry, but without Mr. Laurence’s permission, even if you are his fiancee, you cannot enter.”

The security guard was only surprised for a few seconds before regaining his composure. No matter who they were, without Mr. Laurence’s permission, no one could enter!

“You…”
