Chapter 168
Representatives from various major companies entered the main hall. The seating
arrangements had been predetermined, and Sheena went directly to her seat in the first row with her
name on it.
As the host’s opening remarks filled the room, the bidding event commenced. Then, servers politely
approached each seat, collecting each company’s bidding proposals and offers.
When they reached Skye and Sheena, Skye waved them off, indicating they had nothing to submit.
The servers were taken aback, and they awkwardly skipped the two to move on to the next company.
Sitting in the first row on the right, Faye observed everything closely. Confirming that Skye had no
intention of bidding, she was immediately at ease. If the Zimmer family was not interested in competing
for the land, then it would likely fall into the hands of her Freeman Group!
With that in mind, Faye’s tension was replaced by a proud confidence. She stood up gracefully,
capturing everyone’s attention, and placed the Freeman Group’s bidding proposal and project plan

Seeing her confident demeanor, other companies began to murmur.
“Looks like Mr. Zimmer is just here to observe, and with the Freeman Group, a big player in the lead,
that land in the western suburbs is probably out of our reach.”
“Sigh… You’re right. It’s a shame to have made this trip for nothing. We can only offer our early
congratulations to the Freeman Group.”
The crowd sighed in disappointment.
Faye heard everything and felt even more pleased. She stood up, smiling humbly at the company
representatives in front and behind her, appearing like the host of the event.
“I apologize for any inconvenience, but I must admit that the Freeman Group is determined to get this
piece of land. This might disappoint everyone, but rest assured, I won’t let your efforts go in vain. Every
company participating in today’s bidding event will have the opportunity to collaborate with the
Freeman Group on the subsequent development of the western suburbs.”
Faye’s words sparked excitement among the attendees. Initially, their hopes for the land were low, but
now they had the chance to work alongside the Freeman Group, and it felt like an unexpected stroke of
luck!
Everyone showered Faye with praise and flattery.
“Madam Freeman is truly generous. With you leading the Freeman Group, it’s bound to prosper!”
“Yes, I agree. Our Sky Legion Construction is renowned in this area. Madam Freeman, please do
consider us!”
Amidst this wave of compliments, Faye felt elevated. So, this is the kind of position that all
companies strive fot, the one with authority and power.
How satisfying!
Suppressing her excitement, Faye composed herself and gestured for everyone to quiet down “Rest
assured, when the time comes, you only need to submit your project proposals. The Freeman Group
will select three outstanding proposals from those and collaborate for the collective benefit.”
“Fantastic! Madam Freeman, you’re so impressive and generous!”

This round of praise solidified the Freeman Group’s positive reputation. Erin, too, felt gratified by the
flattery. Then, she turned her head and instinctively glanced at Sheena’s direction, only to find that
Sheena was casually playing with her phone, seemingly unconcerned.
Erin huffed and walked up to Sheena’s seat, saying rudely, “Sheena, when the host comes out, they’ll
announce that the land belongs to the Freeman Group. Everyone in the audience is cheering for the
Freeman Group. Why don’t you say a few complimentary words too?”
Sheena put down her phone, smirking. “Don’t be so eager just yet. What if the Freeman Group loses
out in the bidding? Won’t you all be embarrassed?”
Erin thought Sheena’s comment was nothing more than her overestimating herself. After all, how could
it not belong to the Freeman Group? There was no company present that could compete with them!
Erin stared at her mockingly as a malicious idea flashed in her mind. “How about a bet?”
