Carmen was in the hospital, accompanied by Alice and Daxton. Bryan had returned to the Wilson Group, busy
dealing with the mess, while Ronald had gone to the bidding meeting with the Lawson family members.
Trevor did call, but only to warn Carmen to behave herself. He said that if she couldn't solve problems, then she
shouldn't create them. As a public figure, the repeated negative news surrounding the family had impacted his
reputation. During this period, they had paid a significant amount of penalty fees.

Bowen attended the bidding meeting for the East District development project with Aubree and Kelvin. As soon
as they entered, Aubree noticed Ronald and was surprised.
‘If | remember correctly, the Wilson Group isn’t involved in this project,” she thought.
In her previous life, the Turner Group once got into trouble with a commercial development project. An ancient
tomb was unearthed during construction near the project’s completion.
The government immediately ordered a halt, and as for the money that had poured in, they could only chalk it

The ancient tomb was massive. When the project eventually resumed, they had to refill the foundation and
rebuild everything from scratch. The timeline dragged on, and the investment costs skyrocketed.
After the project's completion, recovering the losses beca long and grueling process. It was the most
unprofitable venture the Turner Group had ever undertaken; while not fatal, the inability to recover the working
capital caused significant repercussions.
In her previous life, the Wilson family seized this opportunity. Bryan made a series of strategic decisions that
elevated the Wilson Group to a new level.
However, what Bryan was unaware of was that Aubree had once stumbled upon his proposal drafts and quietly
corrected sflaws in them.
The revised proposal drafts she worked on brought Bryan nothing but success. By the tBryan discovered the
documents had been altered, Carmen had already taken all the credit for herself.
Aubree bit her lip. She couldn't remember which project it was, except for the ambiguous interaction between
Elizabeth, the CEO of the Lawson Group and the heiress of the Lawson family, and Bowen at the project bidding
conference.
That was why she agreed to cwith Bowen, to see for herself whether this was the project. However, just as
Aubree narrowed her eyes, she could already confirm it.
Just as they walked in, Elizabeth's eyes lit up. She walked straight toward them, completely stunned. Aubree
noticed Ronald was standing by Elizabeth's side just as she entered.
Their eyes met, sparks flying. Aubree sneered silently, thinking, ‘So, Ronald, you're teaming up with the Lawson
family to snatch this project from Bowen? Well then, you'd better be prepared for what's coming.”
“Mr. Turner actually decided to grace us with his presence,” Elizabeth said. Her hurried steps slowed down as she
approached Bowen.
She was a dazzling beauty with thick red lips and wavy hair. Her suit jacket was casually draped over her
shoulders, and her eyes were sharp and commanding. No wonder she could rise to the position of CEO in a
prestigious, wealthy family.

Elizabeth's voice snapped Aubree out of her thoughts. Bowen said with a reserved smile, “It’s a crucial project,
and I'm overseeing it personally.”
Elizabeth smiled, too, poised and gracious. “In that case, every one of us is on our own merits,” she said.
Just then, Ronald joined them, and the three exchanged a few pleasantries. As if she had just noticed Aubree,
Elizabeth turned to Bowen and asked, “Mr. Turner, this is... Care to introduce?”
Ronald was standing right beside her, yet Elizabeth pretended not to know who Aubree was. Aubree’s eyelid
twitched, thinking, ‘Well, | get it now. She's takenas her love rival.’
The provocation in Elizabeth's gaze was completely undisguised as if she were saying, “See? After all this time,
he still hasn't introduced you, not even once.”
Aubree remained silent. She was a little eager to see how Bowen would respond.
“A young friend... from home,” Bowen said, the words seemed to linger on the tip of his tongue before he finally
spoke, his tone and demeanor ambiguous.
Bowen smiled at Aubree, his gaze gentle and doting. Anyone with eyes could see she held a special place in his
heart.
He turned to look at Aubree and said, “This is Ms. Lawson, my business partner and competitor. Who knows, you
might work with her someday.” The distinction between closeness and distance was crystal clear.
