Chapter 83
Evan's eyes swept across the audience with an air of authority. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Finally, his gaze fell upon Zeke. He wore a respectful look on his face.
Zeke nodded his head slightly.
Only then did Evan clear his throat and say, “Love in a Fallen City is the most important project of my
family, and it has been listed as a key project supported by the municipal government. So, to participate
in this project, you must have a certain level of capability. I've gone through all the bid proposals you
submitted, and I roughly know your capabilities. I'm now going to read out a list of companies that were
not qualified to participate in this project due to their current financial capabilities. For those that are
mentioned, please leave the venue.”
After that, Evan took out a list and read it aloud.
There was a total of twenty bidders, and twelve were disqualified in an instant.
Those who left were despondent, while those who stayed rejoiced inwardly as this meant that they
were qualified to collaborate with the Schneider family.
It was perplexing that Lacey was not on the list.
How could a small steel mill be qualified to collaborate with the Schneider family?
Perhaps there's a situation.
Jackson sneered, knowing very well why Lacey hadn't been made to leave. The Schneider family must
be trying to deal with Lacey in front of everyone to set an example.
Evan continued to say, “Except for one, the eight remaining companies are all qualified to collaborate
with my family.”
Lacey trembled with fear.
That exception must be me.
The Schneider family is really going to take action against me now.
She looked up and found Jackson looking at her with a chilling smile. It made her feel even more
horrified.
Evan went on to say, “I have rated your bid proposals, and I will assign the proportions of the project
according to the scores. I will now announce the scores. The eighth-place holder is the Chambers
family of Oakheart City, with a score of 68. The seventh is the Hunt family of Odonvale City, with a
score of 72...”
Soon, Evan had finished announcing the scores for the second to eighth place, with the highest mark at
89 and lowest at 68.
Now, only the first place had yet to be announced, while there were only two people left whose names
were not mentioned, which were Jackson and Lacey.
Everyone believed Jackson would be the well-deserved number one, while Lacey would be dropped
from the project.
Everyone looked at Jackson with admiration.
Jackson was overjoyed. He never expected he would actually win first place!
The Hamilton family was about to flourish.
Meanwhile, Lacey bowed her head in silence, and clenched her fists, her palms wet with sweat.
Zeke suddenly grabbed Lacey's fist.
“Trust me, there will be a miracle.”
Lacey looked at him with a complicated expression.
“The first place goes to...” Evan was heard announcing, as everyone held their breath. “Lacey Hinton
from Oakheart City! With a score of 100!”
Lacey Hinton with a perfect score!
Everyone was shocked!
The winner was Lacey, whereas Jackson wasn't even on the list!
This result stunned and shocked everyone to the core.
Jackson froze on the spot.
How can it be? How is this possible?
How could Lacey beat me?
Meanwhile, Lacey was staring ahead with her eyes wide open and tears in her eyes.
I actually got a perfect score and the well-deserved first place!
I'm 11 points ahead of the second-place holder!
Is this really happening or is it an illusion?
She cried.
All the previous efforts and sacrifices were not in vain.
Evan continued, “In addition, there's still a bid proposal that was not selected.”
