Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Piers Group’s Bidding Failure Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Piers Group’s Bidding Failure Abigail Green originally just intended to shove it into the drawer. After seeing the ssage, she threw it into the trash can, but after a few minutes, she picked it up again and shoved it back into the drawer. A while later, after she finished her shower and ca out, she thought about it and took it out again.
If she rembered correctly, the last ti Sophie Hope took her to the underground casino, their cell phones had no signal. They relied on this wristwatch for communication.
Just in case, Abigail still put the watch on her wrist and began to figure out how to use it.
The mont she put on the wristwatch, Brandon Piers received her location. He smiled slightly. He knew his little darling still had feelings for him.
He just touched the corner of his mouth where he was hurt…
He sighed lightly and asked Hughes to let Abigail know she didn’t need to wait for him tonight.
Wearing the chanical watch, Abigail first had breakfast with Teddy and Aunt Claudia. Then, she asked Hughes to take her to the research lab.
Listening to Hughes’ ssage on the way, she laughed out of anger.
This dog of a man thought he was the emperor, and she was a concubine, not needing to wait for him? When had she ever waited for him?
Once at the research lab, Abigail shook off those indignant feelings and dove into the sea of dical research.
She genuinely started living a life where she only focused on her research, paying no attention to the outside world.
Brandon Piers was also not idle like a spinning top. He spent most of his ti rushing around dealing with various affairs.
Headmaster Theodore had shown the researchers on Abigail’s project recordings of her previous surgeries. Combined with her professional deanor from the first day, she quickly shed well with the other three team mbers.
Over the next month, Abigail proved her capabilities through her actions. She truly had enough skills to participate in the research.
Ti flew while they were busy. Through the teammates’ cooperation and Abigail’s efforts, they finally found a breakthrough and made a qualitative leap in their research.
In half a month, they would be flying to the M Kingdom to participate in the competition.
Abigail rarely left the lab and asked Hughes to take her ho.
For the past month, Abigail had spent most of her ti in the lab, only spending ti with Teddy in the mornings and being busy the rest of the ti.
Now that there was a major breakthrough in the research, her tensed nerves relaxed significantly. After returning ho, she played with Teddy first. Once the little guy fell asleep, she lay down herself.
When you’re busy, you don’t feel it, but once you relax, you think about many things. Seeing the empty space beside her, she realized that since Hughes conveyed the ssage, Brandon Piers hadn’t appeared in a month. She couldn’t help but frown, and upon opening the news app on her phone, she saw the headline: “Piers Group narrowly loses bid for East City land to Evergrowing, will the pharmaceutical leader relinquish its position?”
Abigail was stunned. He failed?
Abigail knew the importance of that piece of land in East City to Brandon Piers and knew he was determined to get it. How did he fail?
Upon clicking to read more, she saw that Evergrowing Pharmaceuticals had won the land for a staggering 3 billion, initially bidding at just 500 million, an increase by six tis.
Six tis might not sound like a lot, but when the unit is in billions, it is terrifying.
Evergrowing was out to break Piers Group.
Abigail couldn’t help but open Brandon Piers’ Facebook. Their chat history still remained at her last hospital stay, making her feel disheartened. She realized she didn’t know what to say to the man.
Comfort him? It seed to imply he had lost.
Encourage him? Their current relationship was awkward.
Hesitating for a while, Abigail simply exited Facebook, opened the school forum, and found that the students at the dical university were hotly discussing the engagent between Brandon Piers and Bertha Swift next month.
Abigail was stunned again. Had they set the engagent date?
After flipping through the post for a while, Abigail read in a fury. Brandon Piers and Bertha Swift’s engagent date was set for July 21, her birthday.
It was too much!
Already sowhat worried about Piers Group, Abigail beca thoroughly angry, thankful she didn’t take the initiative to talk to the man earlier. Otherwise, it would have been a humiliation.
No wonder he didn’t dare to co to her anymore. It turned out the engagent date was already set.
Disgusting.
Having been exhausted from playing with Teddy for two hours after a busy month, Abigail was now too stimulated by this news to sleep.
She skimd through all the recent news about Piers Group and Brandon Piers. Unlike last ti, this ti the official Twitter didn’t make a direct announcent, but all dia reports about the engagent added “rumor” at the front.
Yet the online discussions were in full swing, and neither Brandon Piers nor Bertha Swift denied it. So the rumors were probably true.
Abigail felt awful, her mood filled with gloom.
She wanted to question Brandon Piers but, considering their current relationship, she had moved out of Moon Lake Manor. In what capacity could she ask? She tossed and turned, not sending the ssage, ending up with a headache from being so worried.
Brandon Piers was not in another place but in Hughes’ room, only a few minutes from Abigail, yet he didn’t dare to step into her villa. His eyes were fixed on various surveillance screens.
He couldn’t see inside the bedroom, but from the cara outside the window, he could see the dim bedside lamp shining. Occasionally, the wind blew the curtains, letting him glimpse her tossing and turning silhouette. It wasn’t clear, but enough for Brandon to gauge her current state.
Lately, Abigail slept imdiately once she hit the bed, but tonight was quite different. He guessed she must have seen the news from the past few days.
Thinking of this, Brandon glanced down at the pinned page in his Facebook; there was no activity.
He felt a bit disappointed that she didn’t ask him but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Second Young Master, if you’re not going over, can I go to sleep?” Hughes felt complicated about his new boss, Brandon Piers.
He respected him, but because of Abigail, he also disliked him.
These mixed feelings made him uncomfortable around Brandon.
“Abigail’s going abroad for the competition in half a month. Please take good care of her.” Brandon didn’t look back at Hughes, but his voice carried weight.
“Don’t worry. I know what to do.” Hughes didn’t like Brandon’s tonality, as if Abigail was his possession.
But knowing Second Young Master wasn’t in a good mood, Hughes held back his annoyance.
“Okay.” Brandon nodded, his eyes returning to the screens.
Hughes felt irritated by him. “Why don’t you explain things to Abigail?”
Brandon didn’t respond. The outco of this situation was still uncertain, and explaining things to Abigail now wouldn’t matter much. In fact, saying too much could lead to worse misunderstandings.
Last ti, Benjamin Jones intervened, making him cautious of taking any chances.
“Create a small program to monitor online activity. Gradually delete or edit the posts about my engagent with Bertha Swift, not too quickly to avoid suspicion. I’ll send you my guidance on how to modify the posts.” Brandon directly ignored Hughes’ question, gave his instructions, and stared at the screen a bit longer before quietly leaving Rose Valley.
Returning to Moon Lake Manor, Brandon saw Adam Piers looking dejected. Before even getting close, he could sll the alcohol on him and frowned as he avoided him.
Seeing this, Adam’s fragile feelings shattered.
