Chapter 248

In the afternoon, sof the higher-ups from the office went to play golf with Tyler. Miles was right there with

him, trying to pry.

“Mr. Tyler, do you have any suppliers you're interested in?” he asked.

Holding his golf club, Tyler replied, “Didn't you mention Averie is good?”

Miles felt a boost of confidence. Things were going as he had expected, so he relaxed a bit. “Yeah, they're

connected to the Harris family.”

Tyler looked out far. “We're close indeed. They're my grandma’s maternal family after all.”

After saying this, Tyler kept walking. The weather was perfect. Miles followed, feeling like he was treading

carefully, not wanting to mess up.

He kept up with Tyler for a bit. Since Tyler was busy talking to others, Miles took a moment to make a phone call.

Tyler, talking about golf with the group, noticed Miles walking away. He then quickly looked back to his

conversation.

Miles called Michael, “Everything will go smoothly, Mr. Michael. Winning the bid should be a breeze. | just didn’t

expect Tyler to cfor an inspection.”

Michael responded with a smile, “Thank you, Mr. Miles.

The phone call ended soon after.

The next day, Michael eagerly awaited news that he had won the bid with Pinnacle Group. But it turns out that

Averie Co. didn’t win.

Michael thought he misheard, so he went over the document again and again. After confirming, he called for his

secretary, “Lilian, chere!”

When Lilian Moore arrived, he showed her the document. “What's this?”

She was confused at first, but then realized what was going on. “I'll check with Miles!”

Michael started thinking hard. What happened? It seemed like a sure win since their families were connected

through marriage. The Harrises should have shown their

support since the Reeses were Maisy’s maternal family.

Miles was just as shocked by the bidding results. While he panicked and tried to figure it out, Linda called him.

But Michael took over the call, angry. “What the hell, Miles?! Did you mess with me?!”

Miles quickly explained, “You're connected to the Harrises, Mr. Michael. Why would | do that? Mr. Tyler said he

liked Averie Co. yesterday.”

“Did Ridgewood Co. bribe you?”

Ridgewood Co. was their competitor, also vying for the bid.

“Why would you think that? You're family to the Harrises.”

Meanwhile, Tyler was listening to Michael and Miles’ conversation on his phone. The higher-ups often had their

phones monitored, which is how he could hear everything.

Tyler kept a straight face, but Linda looked terrified.

Michael was losing it. “What happened then? I've been working on the Harris accounts. with you. Are you siding

with Ridgewood against me?”

“Mr. Michael, why would | do that? Even if we hadn’t worked on those accounts, | wouldn't betray you. As I've

said, you're family to the Harrises.”
