Halfway through the bidding, everyone in the seats had different thoughts.
Only a small portion of people came for the project of the Beale Group, while the majority were at cross
purpose.
Therefore, there weren't many bidders.
Moreover, the bidding price was very high, and the proposal was mediocre.
It seemed that they wanted to milk more from the Beale Group, the fallen mighty that still commanded
more influence than the ordinary.
Just as everyone thought that the Beale Group might collapse after the setback, a company offered an
elaborate plan for the Beale Group's call for tenders, and the price was very reasonable.
For a moment, there were plenty of whispers.
No one expected that at this time, there was still a company willing to cooperate with the Beale Group.
Jameson, however, was not surprised.
His fingers lightly tapped on his knees, as if he was lost in thought.
Talon turned around and then whispered to the assistant beside him, "What is the background of this
company? Why is it not on the bidding list?"
The assistant said, "Complex is an overseas company.It is very famous.It recently cooperated with the
Proctor Group.The person in charge Patrick also came to the South City for this.They may make up
their minds at the last minute for this tender, so they are not on the list of bidders."
Hearing this, Talon looked at the other corner of the hall.
Patrick met his gaze and nodded with smile.
The assistant continued, "Complex has been trying to explore the domestic market for the past two
years.It is only the beginning to cooperate with the Proctor Group.I believe that the reason for their
participating in the bidding this time is to expand the domestic market thoroughly by virtue of the Beale
Group's power.’
"First, the Proctor Group, and then the Beale Group.He seems quite ambitious." Talon said.
Anyway, if he only wanted to expand the market, it would be reasonable for him to cooperate with two
large companies one after the other.
However, if he had any other thoughts, his purpose would be too obvious.
Talon added, "Check the background of this company and Patrick, the person in charge."
"Yes"
As the bidding ended, Talon also stood up to leave.
However, he didn't take a few steps before someone blocked his way.
Sharon stood in the front of him and smiled.
"Hello, Mr.Beale.I'm Sharon.We've met before."
Talon squinted and said indifferently, "I remember, what can I do for you?"
Sharon looked around and smiled even more brightly.
"I saw many familiar faces.They are all prestigious figures in the South City.I have some questions for
Mr.Beale.I wonder if it's convenient for you."
Sharon's voice was neither loud nor small, just enough to attract all the attention of the people who
were going to leave.
Even Patrick stopped, but he stood outside the crowd and watched this quietly.
Sharon was beautiful and deliberately dressed up.
Where there was she, there was spotlight.
In addition, she had said such a few innuendoes.
Everyone wanted to be a spectator of this scene.
Talon also sensed their thoughts and frowned slightly, remaining silent for a moment.
Natalia walked over and said coldly, "Ms.Allyson came here uninvited.You knew that it might be
inconvenient, but you deliberately asked, putting my father in a dilemma.You didn't even have the least
bit of courtesy.’
Hearing this, Sharon only smiled at her, "Miss Beale's words are too harsh.I just want to ask Mr.Beale a
few questions.How can he be in a dilemma? However, it doesn't matter if Mr.Beale dares not to answer
me in front of everyone.We can find a quiet place to talk."
Natalia's expression changed, "Ms.Allyson, mind your words!"
Talon stretched out his hands to stop Natalia and looked at Sharon, his expression remained gentle
and refined as always, "There's nothing I am afraid of, bring it on."
Sharon looked at Natalia, and then she slowly withdrew her gaze and continued, "I came to ask
Mr.Beale if you had customized a pocket watch more than 20 years ago.’
A trace of hostility flashed through Talon's eyes.
He replied with ease, "I don't know why Ms.Allyson asked me this.As you said, with twenty years going
by, I can't remember a pocket watch.Maybe I bought it, or maybe I didn't."
Sharon was not surprised at his response.
She took out a yellowed book from her bag and said, "This is the purchase record of the pocket watch
factory.Great wits like Mr.Beale has short memories.However, there is a clear record that Mr.Beale has
customized two pocket watches as you and your wife's wedding anniversary gift.Do you remember
what I said?"
Talon's expression turned slightly tense.
"I remember that.But Ms.Allyson, I must remind you that my wife has passed away for a long time.I
hope you won't make troubles out of her."
"Mr.Beale is overanxious.I'm just checking.She's already gone, so I won't disrespect your wife."
Sharon added, "I would like to ask everyone here, has anyone seen Mr.Beale's wife?"
Several business leaders around Talon's age exchanged glances, but they didn't say anything
immediately.
Talon's wife had passed away many years ago, and those who had seen her were definitely from the
older generation.
Although she had passed away so long that they hardly remembered what she looked like, they still
vaguely remembered that she was exceptionally beautiful.
However, they were only here to watch the fun.
They had yet to figure out what was going on, so they would definitely not seek the limelight.
It's not wise to offend Talon for a negligible girl like Sharon.
"Enough, Ms.Allyson.You are not welcomed here.Please leave!" Natalia said.
At this moment, an old voice came from outside the crowd, "I've seen her before."
With these words, the crowd slowly made way for an old man.
The person who came was Mr.Jones.
Mr.Jones walked towards Sharon with a walking stick and said, "Miss, Mr.Beale's wife used to be my
student.Perhaps no one else here is more familiar with her than me.’
At this point, Talon couldn't be more embarrassed.
Natalia tried to speak a few times, but she was always stopped by Talon.
Sharon nodded to Mr.Jones.
She put her hand into her bag and paused for a few seconds before taking out her pocket watch and
handing it to Mr.Jones.
Outside the crowd, Patrick looked at the pocket watch and his expression suddenly clouded over.
Just as he was about to step forward, he was pulled by the assistant beside him.
The assistant whispered, "Sir, Talon's men are already watching us."
They had waited for such a long time for this moment.
If they were discovered by Talon at this moment, they would fall short of success for lack of a final
effort.
Patrick clenched his fists and looked over there again.
