Chapter 90

BK 91%a 910

Barbara was indeed eager to win against Mona at the Nathontown Design Competition and get revenge for being overlooked by Artemis last time. "Fine. I'll work with you, but there are some things I won't do, and you can't pressure me into it Barbara said. Gordon, hearing what he wanted, clapped his hands enthusiastically and smirked, "That's the spirit."

As their conversation continued, Barbara listened to Gordon recount how he nearly bankrupted the company. He explained that he was negotiating a lucrative deal with an overseas partner, but someone sabotaged it, almost leading the company to Then, Maxwell returned from abroad with a project that could save the Carter Group. His only condition was to take Gordon's position in the company.

Thus, Richard agreed, and the Carter Group grew stronger under Maxwell's leadership, while Gordon was left with the reputation of nearly ruining the company.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Lydia had arrived.

Gordon opened the door, and Barbara looked over to see a lady with an angelic face, large eyes, and a stunning figure that seemed mismatched with her looks. That was probably why everyone remembered her. "Hi, Im Barbara. It's nice to meet you." Barbara extended her hand to Lydia.

Lydia shook it casually. "I'm Lydia, you're Mona's cousin?"

Barbara nodded. "Yes" They had no blood relation, but it was a secret few knew. After all, the Clem family cared about Mona's reputation and would never let anyone know that Jeremy wasn't her biological father. In public, Barbara was still Mona's Barbara.

"Great. I'm participating in the Nathontown Design Competition and we have to win first place. I can't stand Mona winning." Lydia said through gritted teeth.

She had just spent a year training abroad and was shocked to learn that Maxwell was already married. Lydia had her eyes on him first, so she couldn't stand another woman winning Maxwell's heart.

Even if he was married, she wanted him to divorce.

This was also why she had given up so many good opportunities abroad to return and compete in the Nathontown Design Competition. She needed to prove she was better than Mona and that Maxwell was making a mistake by marrying her. "Alright, since we've reached an agreement, let's celebrate, Gordon suggested, smiling. With two beautiful women dining with him, he had a good appetite.

My grandpa is expecting to go back to have dinner. In a couple of days, he's hosting a small welcoming ball, and you both should come," Lydia said before putting on her sunglasses and mask and leaving. Once Lydia left, Barbara quickly found an excuse to exit the private room as
