Supreme Mars novel Chapter 124

Forrest was so polite to Lydia. It was not only because Lydia had a close relationship with Mr. Cohen. There were other reasons.

The Kingston Chamber of Commerce would select business talents who were with enormous potential and qualified to join the community every year. Kate and Lydia were both selected.

But both of them rejected him.

Kate threw the invitation letter of the Kingston Chamber of Commerce into the rubbish bin in his presence. Her arrogant and contemptuous attitude made Forrest really angry. Lydia was different. She explained her shortcomings to him humbly and declined the invitation of the Kingston Chamber of Commerce politely.

Although both of them rejected him, Forrest very appreciated Lydia. Apart from other aspects, Few people could be as humble as Lydia.

The CEO’s office was quiet after Forrest finished his words.

Irene was surprised. Mollie was surprised. Lydia was also surprised. She narrowed her eyes slightly.

Irene was the first one to gather her wits together. She forwarded two steps and said to Forrest, “Mr. Barker, is there any mistake? The construction project was already handed over to the Vesper Corporation. How can we get it now?” Why was the contract sent to L Group then?

“Well, did you send it to the wrong place?”

Mollie felt a little anxious for a moment, and then she turned normal. She could not help sneering out, “I have listened to it quite clearly last night. The owner of the International Commerce Center confirmed to give the construction project to the Vesper Corporation. How can he suddenly go back to his word to let the L Group take over the project?”

It was a joke.

It was indeed a great joke.

It would not be going to happen at all.

However, Forrest remained calm and looked at Mollie indifferently. It made Mollie feel nervous.

“If you don’t believe, you can review the contract to make sure.”

Lydia looked up at Mollie indifferently. Then she turned over the contract and started reading.

After she turned over a few pages, Lydia closed the contract. She said in a calm voice, “It is indeed the contract for the construction project that was approved by the superior leaders, namely the renovation project for the downstream of Emerdale River. There is a seal on the contract, it can’t be fake.”

“What?!”

Irene and Mollie exclaimed at the same time.

Irene was stunned with a little happiness on her face. Mollie was stunned and her face was as pale as a sheet.

The two came up at the same time and turned over the contract.

They saw the letters “Approved by the Urban Construction Bureau of Emerdale” immediately on the first page. Besides, there stamped the red seal of the Urban Construction Bureau.

What’s more, the whole contract was stored in a sealed folder. Only the files with the official seal could be protected in such a secured way.

Lydia stood up slowly with anger showing in her beautiful eyes. She looked at Mollie coldly, “What’s going on here? Mollie, give me a reasonable explanation!” She demanded.

“Impossible...It's impossible!”

With a pale face, Mollie went backwards two steps. She pulled her hair violently with her hands and screamed, “It’s fake! The contract is fake absolutely! The real contract for the construction project should be in Vesper Corporation. It cannot be here in L Group.”

Bang....

Forrest slapped Mollie hard across her mouth and asked with cold eyes, “How dare you question the Urban Construction Bureau? Believe it or not, you will be arrested by a phone call.”

“Impossible, impossible....”

Mollie goggled her eyes. Suddenly she moved sharply to Lydia and said urgently, “Ms. Henderson, you should trust me. I really heard that the owner of the International Commerce Center gave the project to the Vesper Corporation at the dinner. Irene also heard that. Is it right, Irene?”

Then she looked at Irene expectantly, hoping that Irene could help her justify that she didn't lie.

Although Irene knew Mollie wanted to frame her, she nodded and frowned, “Mrs. Simpson didn't lie. The construction project was really handed over to the Vesper Corporation.”

Then Lydia fell into silence. Irene also racked her brains to think why the contract arrived at the L Group.

With a pale face, Mollie desperately recalled the scene last night, fearing missing any details.

Seeing that, Forrest smiled and did not break the silence. He said simply, “The contract for the construction project has been delivered. If Ms. Henderson thinks there is no problem, she can sign at the bottom and send it to the Urban Construction Bureau. In the next few days, the person in charge of the Urban Construction Bureau will come to contact with you.”

“By the way,”

As if he remembered something, Forrest glanced at Irene and said to Lydia, “We thank Lydia for everything she did last night. We are also optimistic about the L Group and hope to have the opportunity for cooperation in the future.”

Then he strode away from the CEO’s office.

After Forrest left, the atmosphere of the CEO’s office became subtle.

Considering what Forrest said before he left, didn’t he want to attribute the credit to Lydia?

Suddenly Mollie was frightened and angry. She looked extremely terrified.

Previously she assured that the construction project was failed because of Irene’s fault. Therefore, she dared to report it to Lydia to slander Irene. But now the construction project is inexplicably in the hands of the L group, and the credit was Lydia’s. It was obvious that what she said yesterday was cheating Lydia.

What’s more, she also took the deliberate to slander Irene.

Any charge of her would ruin her future!

“Mollie.”

Just like what Mollie thought, Lydia’s tone was a lot colder when she shouted her name.

“Ms., Ms. Henderson....”

Mollie no longer had the previous domineering. There was only deep panic in her tone.

“Give me a reasonable explanation. Didn’t you say that Ms. Garcia screwed up the construction project and gave the project to Vesper Corporation? Why did the project come to our hands?”

Lydia’s face was calm, but her eyes pointed directly at Mollie’s heart.

Irene also racked her brains to think about what was going on.

Is that because the owner of the International Commerce Center changed his mind temporarily?

Suddenly, she seemed to have remembered something and her pupils contracted.

Is it because of Leo?

Irene was the only one who knew the inside story at the dinner last night. Peter, Benedict and Mollie were all kicked out.

Leo, the seemingly ordinary man who was laughed at and despised everywhere was the most notable person at the dinner!

So that the previous owner of the Kingston Chamber of Commerce, the richest man of Emerdale, and the head of the Kingston Chamber of Commerce were all accompanied!

“Is it really him?!”

Irene was shocked and covered her mouth with her hands for fear of shouting out.

Mollie could not know this secret definitely because she had been kicked out at that time.

“Misunderstanding, Ms. Henderson, there must be some misunderstanding....”

Mollie smiled a smile, and it was uglier than crying. She said to Lydia, “I think it must because Ms. Garcia’s performance yesterday had been appreciated by the owner of the International Commerce Center.”

“Really? This is inconsistent with what you said just now.”

A faint sarcasm sounded. Mollie looked back and saw Irene looking at her with sarcastic eyes. The expressions of forbearance before were disappeared.

Irene was just kind. Even if someone maliciously slandered her, she mostly laughed it off. But it did not mean she had no temper.

Mollie’s various behaviors had aroused Irene's anger.

“You have committed three crimes in total. The first one is the crime of exceeding your authority!” Ms. Henderson appointed me as the representative of the company, but you repeatedly offended and made decisions without authorization!”

"Sin two, the crime of slander! You repeated slander me, fighting within the company's factions and internal friction!”

“Sin three, the crime of deception!” You cheated Ms. Henderson that we were failed to get the construction project, but it turned to be our company finally got the project. How do you explain? “

“I know you don’t want to delay me and want to pull me off. I can laugh off the usual quarrels, but I won’t allow you to engage in internal strife and damage the interests of the company.”

Her tone was cold and sharp, and she listed the crimes committed by Mollie. She was the first person in the public relations department. She was worthy of the title!

“Irene, you!”

Mollie did not expect that Irene not only did not speak for her but also retaliate against her. Suddenly, her face became ferocious and frightened.

A layer of frost also appeared on Lydia’s face, and her tone was cold. “If what Ms. Garcia said is true, Mollie, you don't have to sit in the position of the deputy general manager. Give it to others.”
