You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 29

Deborah was having treatment in the beauty salon. She was also shocked by the news. "I'll go home right away and ask my husband!"

Deborah called Steven and asked him about the bidding. Steven was a little impatient. "Why did you get involved? The decision was made by the municipal committee."

Steven was right. It was indeed the municipal committee that picked the Golden Age Group as the winner. The Reed Family had always been investing and developing abroad. Of course the city opened the door for them when they returned to invest in San Fetillo. However, if Steven, the Secretary, were willing to fight for Edric, the Golden Age Group wouldn't be the winner. But he would never tell Deborah this.

Deborah noticed the irritation in Steven's tone. She knew Steven's temper very well, so she had to hang up the phone for now.

Lily also rushed back after receiving the news. Panting, she asked as soon as she stepped inside, "Mom, what should we do?"

"Let's wait until your father comes back and ask him about the situation," Deborah replied.

"Ne can't. You have to find someone to ask around now." Lily was really anxious. She had also made a promise to Margaret. Now that things had turned out this way, it would be difficult for her to explain if she couldn't find an excuse.

Deborah shook her head. "Others won't know about this. I called your dad just now and was scolded by him. We'd better wait for him at home and talk about it later."

"But mom, I'm afraid that Aunt Margaret can't wait. You know her temper."

"What are you afraid of? The two families have met and confirmed your relationship with Edric. Do you think she will go back on her word because of this?"

"No, I'm afraid that she will make things difficult for me later. It's not like you don't know how cruel she was to Irene."

"People always act according to the circumstances. Margaret was cruel to Irene because she thought Irene was a pushover who had no one to back her up. But you are different. With your father's support, you don't need to be afraid of her." Deborah was more levelheaded when she calmed down.

The mother and daughter sat in the living room and waited for Steven to come back. At this time, Freya suddenly called. "Lily, have

you watched TV?"

"No." Lily was a little impatient. She was not in the mood to watch TV.

"I just saw Irene on the digital screen in the square."

"Irene is on TV?" Lily was stunned.

"It's a financial channel's broadcasting. It seems to be a press conference for a bid..." Lily picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and switched to the financial channel before Freya could finish her sentence.
