“Play?” Zayla raised her eyebrows. “You’re a child at heart and see the bidding as a game. I have no problem with it, but I’m not playing with you.”
The once docile little rabbit had now become a sharp knife!
“Don’t tell me that you are here to bid.” Simon’s tone was as cold as ice.
“Isn’t it obvious, Mr. Russo?”
Zayla’s voice was as gentle as before, but everything had changed completely.
“Hmm, you’re overreaching yourself!”
“Even when the Vargas Group is behind us?”
“What? You’ve hooked
up
with Stephen?”
Zayla chuckled and disdained to answer such an insulting question.
“Vargas is the most common surname in Houston. Don’t think that he is a friend to
make just because you have the same surname. Since he gets where he is today, he can’t
be a good person!”
Simon’s eyes were deep, and his gaze was locked on her beautiful face.
“Are you warning me? As what? My ex–husband?”
Her words shocked the employees of the Russo Group behind them! It turned out that this stunning beauty was Simon’s ex–wife who he disliked!
Zayla said sharply, “I didn’t expect that not only does Mr. Russo like to be the father of
someone’s child but also likes to take advantage of his ex–wife?”
Her gaze fell on her wrist that was being held.
Simon let go of her hand. When he heard she brought up Norah, his expression changed
sharply, and he had a tremor in his eyes.
“Zayla, I can explain it.‘
Explain his ass!
Chapter 9 Take Advantage of His Ex
“The bidding has begun.” Zayla ignored him and said to the team behind her.
Simon’s hand froze in the air just like that. He withdrew his hand with unprecedented awkwardness and stiffness.
The bidding began, and the client showed himself. Zayla saw that it was a man around forty years old.
So he was the owner of Snow Building?
It had to be known that to be able to own Snow Building, one had to be extremely
powerful and have the support of that most mysterious old family in high society!
The man introduced himself simply, “Hello everyone, I am Melvin Pratt.”
Then, the representatives of the two companies drew straws to determine the order. The Russo Group was first, and Twilight Studio was second.
This time, the restoration of Snow Building attracted everyone’s attention. The company that finished the job nicely would have an incomparable status in the
industry!
The Russo Group took this bidding very seriously. Simon personally led the team leader
onto the stage.
The large screen showed the Russo Group’s plan. The two–hour presentation was pretty
impressive.
The audience applauded, and everyone felt that the Russo Group would win for sure.
Simon thought the same. He was confident!
He walked down the stage calmly, and Zayla walked toward him to get onto the stage.
The moment they brushed past each other, Simon said softly, “Zayla, wait for me after the bidding.”
Simon knew that Zayla did not know anything about architecture, so he planned that even though she would lose, he would have Twilight Studio participate in the project. As for the specifics, they would talk about it after the bidding.
However, Zayla ignored him completely and did not even look at him as she went up to the stage.
He sneered. What was he doing? How ridiculous!

Zayla stood still on the stage.
In her opinion, the Russo Group was after all the big brother in the industry. Its plan
was excellent, but it was not perfect.
The big screen flashed, and she showed the audience a plan that was completely
different from the Russo Group’s.
