Chapter 185 Rise To The Very Top
If they could insource the auxiliary facilities at the later stage of the project, they could easily rake in more than one billion in revenue.
Hector was highly pleased with Winston and Derrick’s statements.
Seeing how everyone jeered at Donald, Cassie did not want to be outdone by them. “Please leave.”
Since she could not oppress Ysabel, she decided to trample on Donald.
As long as Ysabel was unhappy, she would feel delighted.
“As a security guard, you probably don’t understand what this means. Let me explain to you.” Cassie looked at Ysabel and Donald arrogantly.
In actuality, she despised Ysabel.
The latter came from a scholarly family. Both her parents were university professors. After her father passed away, her mother raised her up alone.
Ysabel did not let her parents down either and was the campus belle of Pollerton University. Cassie had always been suppressed by Ysabel. Even Hector was smitten with Ysabel.
However, it did not stop Cassie from looking down on Ysabel because her family was wealthier than Ysabel’s.
Her father was the director of Pollerton Bridge Engineering Corporation, and her family had been in the bridge construction industry for generations. Even though her father was not a tycoon, her family was rather well off.
“I’ll let you know how far apart we are!” Cassie continued, smiling. The lights beamed down on her, enhancing her beauty.
Her face was full of condescension that did not fit her age.
She added, “Last year, Torson Construction, which was owned by Hector’s family, made a net profit of three hundred and twenty million. He even won a bid a few days ago. Do you know whose bid he won? You will be shocked when I reveal it. It’s Horizon Group’s! I don’t think I need to say much about this company because its overseer is Lord Campbell! Do you know what winning Lord Campbell’s bid means? It indicates that Torson Construction will have substantial growth in the future, and it’s very likely that they might become one of the most prestigious families in Pollerton. Everyone who rides on Lord Campbell’s coattails will flourish and rise to the very top!”
Cassie felt at ease after hurling her remarks.
Once she finished speaking, she looked at Ysabel and Donald’s reactions, hoping to see a little trepidation and fear on their faces.
However, she was disappointed.
Ysabel pursed her lips in disdain, while Donald was expressionless.
There was a trace of irony in the depths of his eyes.
I’m sorry, but the Lord Campbell you mention is standing in front of you right now. However, you aren’t qualified to know that.
Moments later, Ysabel piped up, “So what? Does it have anything to do with me? Donald, let’s go.”
Hector’s expression darkened as he lowered his head. Then, he picked up the bottle of expensive red wine that Mark gave him and uttered casually, “What’s the hurry? Come and try this bottle of red wine before you leave.”
Subsequently, he opened the wine and poured it into a glass before handing it to Ysabel. “Give me your answer after finishing it.”
In an instant, complicated feelings swirled in her eyes. After hesitating for a while, she took the red wine, mustered up her courage, and gulped it down.
Consequently, she choked and coughed several times.
The next moment, she pressed her lips to Donald’s shoulder and rubbed them on his shirt casually. “Hector, my answer is still the same. I think we’re incompatible. We can be friends but not lovers.”
Having said that, she pulled Donald toward the door.
In the meantime, Hector was shaking the wine bottle in his hand. No one could see his expression because he had bowed his head.
However, Donald noticed the madness in his eyes.
“Stop right there.” Finally, Hector raised his head and shot Ysabel a cold glare.
“It’s been three years. I’ve waited for three years. I even waited for more than an hour just now, and you gave me such an answer? Ysabel, I’m not satisfied with your response, so I’ll give you another chance to say it again!”
He finally showed his fangs.
