Chapter 676
Chapter 676 Luke Crawford's Widow
A rather beautiful man in a suit was standing in a corner of the banquet hall. His eyes were animated, and his chin was delicate. His looks might be feminine, but his demeanor did not give other people that impression.
With a champagne flute in hand, he smiled profoundly as his eyes were transfixed on Bianca on the stage.
The man seemed elegant and gentlemanly, but when he smiled, he gave the conflicting impression that he was a hooligan.
An intelligent-looking man in black-framed glasses who stood next to him explained, "Mr. Blatt, the woman on the stage is Bianca Rayne, the new acting CEO of T Corporation. Earlier, she had tried to compete with a plot of land near Draco Lake but failed miserably." "Failed miserably?" The man who was addressed as "Mr. Blatt" said softly and narrowed his gaze.
He smiled ambiguously as his eyes lazily drifted toward the attractive woman on the stage once more.
His nwas Vincent Blatt, CEO of Blatt Corporation. He cfrom an illustrious family, and he was considered a legendary character in the business world for his incredible business acumen.
He might look like a gentleman, but his business tactics were sly and underhanded. He was good at bid-rigging, and though other people despised that, they dared not openly oppose him because of his background.
"When Luke Crawford was the CEO of T Corporation, it's hard for us to get a leg-up on them. Too bad he's dead."
The man in the black-framed glasses sounded like he was gloating over T Corporation's misfortune, as though he had a huge grudge against Luke." Luke Crawford had snatched a major client away from us only a few months ago and cost us a lot of business, and he has been tarnishing Blatt Corporation's reputation with baseless accusations. I didn't expect that he would die just like that."
Vincent smiled eerily. "Perhaps that's karma."

"T Corporation is as good as gone in the hands of a woman who can't lead at all. Ever since she took over the position of CEO, T Corporation has declined sharply in all performance indicators. Blatt Corporation and many other of their rivals have also snatched their clients. I believe that the woman is tearing down what Luke Crawford has so painstakingly built up. Should we take the opportunity to cripple T Corporation and acquire them?”
Vincent's gaze was transfixed on Bianca's lips as she spoke into the microphone.
Those red and supple lips were perfectly curved, making a vivid contrast with her pearl-white teeth. He could not look away.
Vincent smiled chillingly and downed the champagne.
He was determined to claim T Corporation. He was also interested in that woman who was also T Corporation's CEO and Mr. Norman's birth daughter.
There was still time. He could afford to circle his prey before capturing it.
Bianca bowed deeply at everyone after her speech. Suddenly, she realized that someone was looking at her with a predatory gaze.
She shuddered and could not help but feel that she was a helpless animal waiting to be caught and devoured.
She did not like the invasive and uncouth way that man was staring at her.
"Who’s that man?" She whispered to Tina next to her.
Tina, as the CEO's secretary, was not only capable but also had an encyclopedic memory. She could recognize anyone influential in A City on the top of her head.
That was why Bianca relied on her for information.
Tina looked in the direction where Bianca was looking and grimaced when she noticed Vincent. "That's Vincent Blatt, the second son of the Blatt family and the CEO of Blatt Corporation. He might look like a gentleman, but he acts like a thug. Recently, Blatt Corporation has been snatching business away from us, which has caused our clients to decline..."
Bianca stared into Vincent's gaze as though challenging him.
Interestingly, Vincent suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement in him!
Bianca did not know about Vincent’s thoughts.
All she wanted was to claim everything that Vincent had snatched away from T Corporation!
The banquet ended on a high note.
Bianca disregarded the protests from the board of directors and insisted on bidding for the remote mountain in Bay Town. They did not face much competition because that area was poorly connected, and their competitors were not as powerful as T Corporation. T Corporation easily won the development rights to that area.
Queenie invested in T Corporation to help them with their financial troubles.
With the newly-injected funds, construction on Longing Greens soon started.
Half a year later, Lines 15,18, and 21 of the A City subway and Phase 9 of the A City Light Rail began construction, just as planned. Land prices in Bay Town suddenly increased by ten times.
The other major corporations regretted that they did not bid for the area.
On the other hand, the veteran shareholders of T Corporation were overjoyed by how things turned out. They praised Bianca for her foresight and stopped referring to her as the acting CEO.

The first phase of Longing Greens completed construction.
Boasting the best scenery and the ideal geographical location, Longing Greens was an integrated development project that combined travel, relaxation, business, and sports.
The terrace houses and bungalows had their own unique selling points.
Each housing unit faced the breathtaking scenery of Deer River. Longing Greens was the newest and hottest landmark of A City.
Phase two of Longing Greens began construction the following year and was completed by the end of the year. The properties were all luxury mansions.
T Corporation made record profits in two years.
T Corporation.
Halfway through work, Bianca paused for a breather. She gently touched the photo of that handsome man and mumbled to herself, "It's been so long. Why aren't you back yet? Are you waiting for me?"
A handstwo-year-old boy was crawling on the soft Persian carpet.
The young boy had an impeccable face, especially his long and curly eyelashes and big sparkling eyes. Anyone's heart would melt when they saw him.
He was dressed in stylish overalls, and he fluttered his bare feet on the carpet.
"Chere, Tommy." Bianca beckoned at the fair and plump boy.
The little boy ran unsteadily with his stumpy legs toward Bianca. "Mommy!
I wanna hug..."
Bianca picked the little boy in her arms and said to the man in the photo." Luke, I'm going to bring our baby to Moscow to look for you. He looks just like you, but he's very naughty. I wonder if you'll like him when you meet him?"
