Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 81

“Lacey, do you not trust me?” questioned Lily. “We're family, and I benefit too if you make money. Do you think I would make any blunder in this matter?”

Lacey Hinton thought about it for a while before finally handing Lily the bid proposal. “Well then, thank you.”

Lily happily took it and left.

Zeke walked out from the corner. “Lacey, do you really trust her with the bid proposal?”

“She's my cousin after all, so I think she won't mess things up,” said Lacey.

Zeke smirked. “Okay.”

This girl is good at everything, but she's simply too kind and credulous.

Zeke decided to let Lacey learn some lessons about the human heart to prevent her from suffering a bigger loss in the future.

Meanwhile, after Lily had gone far from the steel mill, she took out a lighter and burned the bid proposal.

She then took out another bid proposal, which Jackson had given.

She wanted to deliver this bid proposal to the Schneider family as Lacey's.

As far as she knew, the content inside this bid proposal was all insults to the Schneider family.

If the Schneider family read this bid proposal, they would definitely be furious and come after Lacey.

“Hmph! Lacey, the Schneider family will definitely give you a hard time even though I can't do so. You're doomed this time.”

The official public tender for the Love in a Fallen City project was held at the Schneider Tower as scheduled the next day.

The entrance of the building was jam-packed with luxury cars early in the morning.

Prominent tycoons from all over Rivermouth gathered for the occasion.

Everyone looked forward to finding out whose bid proposal could win the heart of the Schneider family.

Meanwhile, Lacey came with Zeke.

Lacey was rather low-key compared to the other bidders who were busy engaging in conversations.

She sat in the corner without saying anything as if she didn't exist.

Zeke asked, “Are you nervous, Lacey?”

Nodding her head, Lacey replied, “Yeah. Everyone here prevails over us in terms of capability and financial resources. We're no match for them at all.”

Zeke smiled faintly. “Don't worry, Lacey, I think your bid proposal is very good, so you will definitely be able to win the tender.”

Lacey gave him a bitter smile. “A good bid proposal isn't enough. After all, the Schneider family will not only determine based on the bid proposal but also the overall strength of a company.”

“You're here early, Lacey,” Lily greeted them with a smile after she came from nowhere.

Seeing Lily, Lacey was surprised. “Lily, how could you get in without me bringing you in?”

The Schneider family had stipulated that each company could only send two representatives.

Yet now, Lacey's steel mill had three representatives here including Lily.

Lily sneered, “You think too highly of yourself, Lacey. Who said you're the only one who can bring me in?”

At this time, Jackson approached them. “Actually, I brought Lily in.”

Lacey asked with a look of surprise, “You brought her in? Why?”

Lily is my employee, so why would Jackson bring in someone other than his employee?

“Duh.” Jackson stated matter-of-factly, “Lily is an employee of my company, so of course, I have the right to bring her in.”

Lacey was taken aback. “Your employee? How can it be possible? Lily, didn't you come to work with me yesterday?”

Lily said proudly, “Work with you? Can a clerical job with 4,000 pay a month make me stay? You're delusional. I'm now an employee of the Hamilton family, and the remuneration they've offered me is so much higher than yours.”
