Armstrong’s expression remained indifferent. He swept a glance across everyone in the living hall and said, “Today, I have gathered all of you to discuss the construction of Sunshine District.”

“Sunshine District?”

Belle and Melody froze. Both of them simply had no idea about it.

“Father, has the Sunshine District project been approved?” Kaysen asked.

Sunshine District was the biggest property project in Mediterranean City of late.

The neighborhood had everything nearby such as a hospital, school, shopping plaza, subway, and other transportation amenities.

Sunshine District’s land alone could fetch a sky-high price of one billion dollars.

A total of six commercial buildings were built, and a dozen property development companies were bidding on them. Armstrong’s property development company was one of them.

The moment the Murphy family’s property company nailed the Sunshine District project down, the family’s fortune would at the very least double, and they would secure their leading position of all property development companies in Mediterranean City.

Therefore, this project was of paramount importance to them.

“That’s right. Kaysen, you know the importance of the Sunshine District project, right?” Armstrong cast a glance at Kaysen.

“Of course I do, Father! I’ve been preparing the materials for the bid over the past year. I could guarantee nailing the contract down. Father, just let me handle the mission.” Kaysen gave his assurance by patting his chest with pride.

Belle hurriedly stepped on her husband’s foot.

George instantly reacted to the situation. If Kaysen were to successfully take the bidding, Kaysen might be the successor of the Murphy family in the future.

After all, the Murphy family had a total of three sons-in-law, namely George, Kaysen, and Clarence.

Clarence was a loser. So, it was impossible for him to be the successor of the Murphy family. Armstrong was only left with George and Kaysen, and he could only select one of them.

“Father, I can do it too! I’ve also prepared a lot of materials over the past year,” George hurriedly spoke up.

“Hehe! Good. Tomorrow, you two would attend the bidding conference together. Each of you would represent your own company respectively. If the tender is successful, the parent company would extend its help behind the scenes.” Armstrong smiled in relief. It was about time for the two sons-in-law to compete with each other.

George and Kaysen locked gazes. A trace of animosity darted across their eyes.

Just as the matter was about to be finalized, Clarence stood up and said, “Father, Mother, I would like to give it a try too!”

Swish!

At that moment, the Murphy family members gathered their attention on Clarence.

“You want to give it a try? What do you want to try? Does a loser like you have any property developer acquaintance in Mediterranean City?” Kaysen exploded with anger.

He felt that Clarence was trying to make a fuss of all this just to retaliate for all his mistreatment.

“Do you have any connections?

“Are you qualified?

“How many bosses are you acquainted with?

“Are you able to attract investors?

“You know nothing. You’re a loser who didn’t even graduate from middle school! Do you know how to write and speak German?

“Give it a try, huh?! Do you think this is a child’s play where you could give it a try whenever you want?!”

Kaysen uttered the words as he gradually approached Clarence with great aggression. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

He pointed his finger at Clarence’s chest. The only thing missing was him sticking his face to Clarence’s nose.

The duo locked gazes. There was an air of hostility in the atmosphere.

“Nonsense! Clarence, why do you even want to give it a try?! Get back to your place!” Armstrong reprimanded him.

“Clarence, what are you doing? Stop fooling around and get back here at once!” Although Miranda had the desire to try the bidding herself, her company was not up to the mark and had no way to compete with Kaysen and George’s companies.

If she were to go for the bidding, she would only end up embarrassing herself.

As such, Miranda also felt that Clarence was just fooling around.

“Dear, if we don’t give it a try, how are we to know if we stand a chance? Step out of this, let me do the talking.” Clarence turned his head around and shot a quick glance at Miranda.

Miranda froze. She stood in place, watching Clarence’s silhouette.

At that moment, she seemed like she had never known him before.

‘What’s going on here? Clarence has become a new man ever since yesterday night…

‘He has become more confident and no longer behaves like a coward.’

This was Clarence’s first time standing in front of her.

‘Should I give him a chance and consider not to divorce him for the time being?’ Miranda thought to herself. She initially had the thought of heading straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce him immediately after the departure from the house. She even had the marriage certificate, ID card, and account book with her.

“Father, I would like to give it a try. Why don’t you give me a chance?

“Even if you don’t want to give me a chance, doesn’t Miranda stand a chance either?

“You must do things fairly. It doesn’t matter if you don’t regard me as your son-in-law, but does this also mean that Miranda is not one of your daughters?” Clarence said.

The Murphy family was stunned.

‘When did Clarence become so eloquent?’

“Shut up!” Armstrong chided. He burst with anger. “Are you saying that I’m biased?!”

“Aren’t you?” Clarence did not back down.

“What did you say?!

“Clarence, you want to revolt against me, don’t you?!” Armstrong shouted. He slammed the table and jerked to his feet. He angrily glared at Clarence.
