You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 168

When Margaret was discharged from the hospital, Marie, being her best friend, came to see her. The two met and chatted about their daily lives, and of course, the topic gradually navigated itself to Lily.

Marie told Margaret that Lily had visited the hospital for a check-up. It was confirmed that she was pregnant, thereby giving Margaret the greenlight to start foiling her plan. Margaret was undoubtedly elated to hear this news. It was a good thing for the Myers family to have many descendants, but the only problem was that she'd need to deal with Edric. She realized that in that aspect, she couldn't rush things and had to take her time.

Margaret made Marie promise to keep it a secret for now. She needed Lily to take good care of herself for the time being. When the time was right, she would break this news to Edric. If everything between Lily and Edric were to unfold smoothly, Margaret would only need to think of a way to get rid of Irene.

Marie felt so much relieved seeing how enthusiastic she was about Lily's pregnancy. However, at this

moment, Margaret brought up the bidding for the sports tournament again.

Since the sports meeting was just a few days away, Margaret had been keeping a strict eye on it. She heard that Jordan's design was a combination of both eastern and western cultures. Although Edric had hired Sinclair as the chief architect, Margaret still felt unsettled. Something would always go wrong last minute, just like the time when they had to design the city. They thought they'd scored the bag, but in the end, they lost completely to Jordan. There was no way she was letting her guard down this time; they had to go for an all-kill. Although Edric had taken over the company and reminded her not to interfere in its affairs, how could Margaret just sit back and watch? This was such a huge project, and if they could win the bid, the future would look blindingly bright for them.

On the contrary, if this project was snatched away by the Golden Age Group, then it could potentially tarnish their reputation. Having their status and fame taken away wouldn't do any good for the Myers Group's development. When Margaret had brought up this problem before, Marie had promised that she'd get Deborah to figure out a plan for Edric, hence the reason for Margaret bringing it up again now.

Marie nodded and said, "I came today not just to talk about Lily, but also about this matter. Deborah managed to get a blueprint of the venue. With this design and the Myers Group's proposal, we'll definitely win the bid this time."

As she said this, Marie opened her bag and pulled out the blueprints she'd got from Dave. Seeing this, Margaret was overjoyed. She thanked Marie and vowed that as long as they won the bid at the sports tournament, she would surely treat Lily well in the future. With Margaret's assurance, Marie left happily. Margaret was equally delighted as Marie was. She immediately called Edric and asked him to come home quickly, saying that there was something important to discuss with him.

When Edric returned home, Margaret handed him the blueprints Marie had given. After taking a look at them, Edric was positively surprised. He quickly brought the blueprints back to the company, assembling all the architects in for a meeting. When Sinclair saw the blueprints, he was as shocked as Edric. "Mr. Myers, where did you get these blueprints? This design is very similar to Dave's style!"

"I thought so too." Edric agreed with Sinclair's words. "I just couldn't be sure of it!"

"I can promise you, this is Dave's work." Sinclair took the blueprints from him and examined it carefully for a while before he confirmed, "I heard that he isolates himself from the world and is now staying in San Fetillo. I never would've thought he'd bless us with such a generous gift. With this blueprint, the bidding is ours to win for sure!"

Now that Edric had a winning streak at the sports tournament, Jordan wasn't just going to idle around. With Dave's design in Edric's hands, Jordan already knew what the result of this bidding would be.
