Half an hour before the bidding, the room was full of people. Almost half of the reporters of City N have
attended.
It could be seen how eye-catching the New Coast project of Conrad Group was.
One of the reporters asked, “I heard Mr. Conrad would come to this bidding, right?”
After a moment of silence, another person asked, “Which Mr. Conrad?”
Everyone knew there were two Mr. Conrads in the Conrad Group. One had left, and the other one was
the current president.
No matter which one of them would come to this bidding, it would be a headline in the newspapers
tomorrow.
If the former attended it, this bidding would become more wonderful, causing more terror.
If the latter attended it, although there was less expectation, there would be many juicy thngs to write
about if he would be in charge of such a giant project.
The reporter who asked the first question answered, “Of course... Clarence Conrad. Haven’t you heard
about it?”
“I heard some rumors, but they sound so fake. Hasn’t he quitted Conrad Group already? Why would he
come to the bidding of Conrad Group?”
“Although he had left Conrad Group, he’s the president of Steward Group now. Besides, he also
controls Complex Corporation and Southwest. Do you think he would give up the New Coast project?”
Upon hearing his words, others inhaled.
No matter the Steward Group, which had gone through ups and downs and have now returned to a
normal track, or Complex Corporation and Southwest, which were world-renowned with strong
economic strength, all of them would need enough land to realize their ambitions.
Even one of the companies was enough to share the New Coast project with Conrad Group, not to
mention there were three.
The reporters looked through the hundreds of companies that attended the bidding, feeling they had
foreseen their failures already.
Based on Clarence’s style, since he would come to the bidding, he wouldn’t return empty-handed.
Besides, if he aimed at something, he wouldn’t share it with others.
Moreover, rumors always said that Justin’s accident had benefited Clarence and wondered if there was
any connection.
If the two brothers met in such a circumstance, they wondered if they would have a fight.
The bidding meeting must be quite a show today.
Clarence showed up at 2:55 when they were discussing heatedly and expecting eagerly.
All the cameras were snapping crazily.
Clarence kept expressionless, walking directly to the front row and sitting down.
Two minutes before the bidding started, Justin entered from the other door, being pushed by his
assistant.
Seeing Clarence, Justin spoke to his assistant. The wheelchair changed the direction and was pushed
towards Clarence.
Justin said with a smile, “You are also here, Clarence.”
Next to Clarence, Nathan nodded at Justin. “Good day, Young Master Justin.”
Justin still smiled. “Sure enough, you are more delighted when working for Clarence than for me.”
Nathan looked awkward. He lowered his head in silence.
Clarence said flatly, “Don’t you have an assistant? If he stayed, he wouldn’t do anything.”
Nathan worked for Clarence, so Justin would never assign him to the important matters, nor would he
let Nathan know the confidential information.
Justin sighed. “I know, but Nathan had worked for Conrad Group for many years. I feel sorry for him.”
Right then, a staff member came over. Bending over, he said, “Mr. Conrad, the bidding is about to
start.”
Justin nodded and said to Clarence, “I’ll go there, Clarence. Call me if you need any help.”
“Sure.”
Soon, the bidding started.
The atmosphere gradually tensed up.
Clarence raised the plate for each project. A lot of companies were already restless.
Although they had been prepared to take small projects when seeing Clarence show up, they realized
that Clarence was unwilling to share any minor project with them.
Two hours later, the bidding finished.
All representatives left with paled faces.
As soon as Clarence stood up, Justin operated his wheelchair to come over. Reaching his hand to
Clarence, he said with a warm smile, “Clarence, I’m glad to work with you.”
Clarence looked down at him and said, “You won’t disappoint.”
Justin’s hand paused in midair. He didn’t feel awkward. Withdrawing it slowly, he said, “Of course. I’ve
been looking forward to working with you together.”
Clarence said, “I’m busy. Please excuse me.”
Then he nodded at Justin slightly and turned away.
The assistant behind Justin said coldly, “He’s way too arrogant.”
Justin still smiled. Clenching his hands on his lap, he said expressionlessly, “Isn’t he always like this?”
“But, you are his older brother. He...”
“If he doesn’t respect me as his older brother, do you think I can still sit here safe and sound?” Justin
said, “Don’t argue for those trifles. We have more important things to deal with.”
The assistant nodded, pushing Justin to leave.
Other companies left while complaining to each other about Clarence.
The reporters were the most excited ones. The bidding today was the first time in history, more eye-
catching than they had imagined.
Even the photos Clarence and Justin were talking to each other could occupy the headlines for several
days, not to mention others.
Out of the hall, Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, all done.”
Clarence hummed. “Go back to the company.”
Half an hour later, the black car stopped downstairs of Steward Group.
As soon as Clarence took a few steps, a figure appeared in front to block his way.
Seeing him, Clarence asked calmly, “Mr. Carter, what can I do for you?”
Emmett looked pale. Pressing his lips, he answered, “I want to talk to you in private.”
Nathan sensibly took a few steps backward, guarding them aside.
Clarence said flatly, “Now you can speak.”
Emmett clenched his fists and took a deep breath. “Last time, you talked to me about the paternity test
result of Mr. William and Channing Radomil. I...”
He paused before finishing his words.
It seemed it was difficult for him to continue.
Clarence looked down at his wristwatch, feeling out of patience.
He said, “Mr. Carter, if you haven’t figured out how to say it, you can come to me next time.”
“Clarence Conrad,” Emmett stopped him. “You must know something behind that matter. Can you
please tell me?”
