Elizabeth’s background seemed ordinary. After being lost, she was adopted by Grandpa and lived with him in the old district of Metro City. It wasn’t until a year ago that she moved back to the countryside due to Grandpa’s severe illness.
It was six months ago that the Wilsons got the news and located her there.
The information was so consistent that no doubts could be derived from it.
Alexander turned off his cell phone, feeling he might have overthought things.
Elizabeth was both pretty and well-behaved, so the idea of Peter intentionally approaching her wasn’t unthinkable.
She was always eager to make friends, making her a potential target for deception.
Alexander felt a pang of disappointment, uncertain about what he had been expecting before.
When Elizabeth returned, it was noon. Sophia was busy in the kitchen, with a maid assisting her.
Linda sat on the sofa, accompanying Sir. Wilson as they watched the midday news.
“Elizabeth, you’re back so soon! Did you enjoy spending time with your friends?”
Sir. Wilson had thought that, given her friends were visiting Metro City, she might not return until evening.
Taking a seat on the couch, Elizabeth replied in a subdued tone, “Something came up.”
Sir. Wilson chose not to pry further. It had almost been a month since
Elizabeth returned, yet they hadn’t taken her out properly; mainly because she had declined their invitations every time.
Breaking the silence, Elizabeth asked, “How’s the business lately? Encountered any challenges?”
Gazing into Elizabeth’s clear, beautiful eyes, Sir. Wilson felt heartened. It was the first time she had shown genuine concern about his affairs.
“Nothing major. We’re currently bidding for a project against another company. Given our company’s strength, we have a high chance of securing it.” 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
Normally, Sir. Wilson wouldn’t discuss business matters with his children. However, seeing Elizabeth’s genuine interest, he shared a bit.
Noticing the subtle furrow in Sir. Wilson’s brow as he spoke, Elizabeth pondered for a moment before asking, “Is this project significant?” Caught slightly off-guard, Sir. Wilson chuckled, “You could say that.”
It was the company’s biggest project of the year. Securing it would be immensely beneficial.
While their current operations were centered in Metro City, this project could pave their way nationally.
But the other company was also quite formidable, and I heard that this project was leaning toward the other company.
Still, as long as a deal wasn’t finalized, there was hope.
He refrained from sharing these concerns with his family.
When Elizabeth pressed, asking, “Which company?
Sir. Wilson replied, without much hesitation, “A rising company over the recent years, Surge Real Estate. Quite renowned.”
Elizabeth nodded in acknowledgment, “Yes, they’re quite well-known.”
Linda, who had been listening quietly, interjected with a bright idea, “Dad, one of my classmates’ fathers is a project manager at Surge Real Estate. Maybe I can ask him to help?”
Sir. Wilson smiled and shook his head, amused at how kids tend to oversimplify things. Yet, he didn’t dampen Linda’s enthusiasm.
She had always been proactive and cared deeply for the family. He knew that even if he advised against it, Linda would still act on her own accord.
Elizabeth observed Sir. Wilson’s contemplative face, her eyes reflecting deep thought.
After lunch, as Elizabeth returned to her room, her phone rang. It was Peter.
“I’ve sent the project details you asked for to your email.”
Without wasting time, Elizabeth inquired, “Is Surge Real Estate a subsidiary of
Fortune Law Group?”
Peter Berney paused momentarily, seemingly taken aback by the question. “Does she have so many companies that she no longer cares about this one?”
“I’m so envious!”
He replied, “Yes, it is.”
With a mischievous grin, he asked, “Why the sudden interest in such a minor company? Have you finally decided to share some of the workload?”
Cutting him off before he could ramble further, Elizabeth stated, “Surge Real
Estate is working on a project. Make sure they choose the Wilson Group.”
Peter was perplexed..
