Chapter 235
These few words were like lightning that struck Mayor Solloway and his wife.
‘She is the richest man in Hatchbay, Wyatt Thompson’s daughter?’
“Are you really Chairman Thompson’s daughter?!” Mayor Solloway was surprised and kept
looking
at Bella.
Steven coughed lightly and thought, ‘Wow, most people show off their wealth with jewelry,
but Ms. Bella uses her father.’
“Yes. You can ask the Salvadors to confirm this.”
Bella smiled brighter. “I’ve had some dealings with Salvador Corporation, so they can
verify my identity.”
Justin’s eyes darkened as he stared at her.
Bella did not even want to mention that they were “familiar ” with each other, as if they
were mere business rivals.
“Chairman Salvador, Justin, you’re acquainted with Ms. Thompson?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMayor Solloway dabbled in politics, so when he heard that Bella was Wyatt Thompson’s
daughter, his tone became more earnest. “I’m sorry that I didn’t recognize you.
Then he immediately shook hands with Bella.
“Mayor Solloway, am I qualified to discuss this project with you in my current capacity?”
Bella still had a smile on her face, but she had an oppressive gaze.
Mayor Solloway was stunned.
He felt that, although Bella was young, she was just as powerful as Wyatt. Thus, he dared
not look down on her.
Justin took a deep breath and secretly clenched his fists. “This woman is now taking
advantage of the fact that she is Wyatt Thompson’s daughter so that she can act
recklessly, huh? Does she think that business is child’s play and she can just step in
anytime she pleases?’
“Ms. Thompson, we are very happy to see you here. But Mayor Solloway and I have to talk
about something important today. This information is not something an outsider like you is
privy to. You can’t participate in it either, so will you please give us some privacy?”
Gregory maintained a kind smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and hostile.
Bethany was furious. She wanted to step forward, but Shannon grabbed her.
Shannon thought, ‘Bella is overestimating herself. My husband will get rid of her without
needing me to step in.’
“Mr. Salvador, I know that you want to talk about business. If it weren’t for the Baxim
project, I wouldn’t be here either.”
Bella raised her eyebrows without changing her expression. “Also, why can’t I participate?
In terms of resources and financial strength, KS Group is not at all inferior to Salvador
Corporation. We can handle any projects that you can, too. It’s always better to have more
choices. Don’t you think that Mayor Solloway deserves to have another option?”
Mayor Solloway was startled. “This girl came prepared!’
Gregory and Shannon looked gloomy at the moment.
“Ms. Thompson.”
Justin, who had been silent all this time, took two steps forward and towered over Bella.
“Salvador Corporation has already reached a consensus with Mayor Solloway. We have
discussed all aspects of the project and met the standards for Baxim’s development. Don’t
you think you’re violating the rules of the business and causing unnecessary trouble if you
step in to steal our project at this time?”
Bella raised her beautiful face and blinked her bright eyes with a smile. “Steal your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmproject? You’re right. That is exactly what I’m doing.”
“Bella!” Justin’s pupils shrank, and his teeth clenched.
“But I don’t think that I’m violating the rules or causing unnecessary trouble.”
Bella took a step back, away from the shadow he cast over her, and distanced herself from
him. “The rules are always made by the winners. If you have already signed the contract,
then I am indeed making unnecessary trouble. But right now, you haven’t signed a
contract with Mayor Solloway, so who makes the rules this time is still up in the air.”
Justin narrowed his eyes. He was rendered speechless.
Bella was right. Before signing the contract, everything was subject to change. Over the
years, Justin believed in this unspoken rule and had destroyed countless opponents in the
market without fail.
However, he never imagined that he would be the one encountering such a hurdle this
time.
His opponent was also his ex-wife.
“Ms. Thompson, I don’t think Mayor Solloway will cooperate with
you.”
Shannon could not stand Bella’s arrogant attitude and said with a smile, “Mayor Solloway
and our family have been friends for many years. We have always maintained a good
cooperative relationship as well, so this isn’t something that can be easily overridden by
most people.”
