Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie)

Yes, this is clearly a failed project. We even signed a contract, and now we’re stuck with it!“

“What’s the big dealt This is a project under the Noria Group. Just submit a request, and Noria Croup will inject funds. We’ll be back on track in no

Fred thought the same. “No need to panic. As long as this belongs to Noria Group, it won’t become a failed project. Matthew treats Noria Group like a second home. He’s very careful about maintaining its reputation. If this project fails, it would be a huge stain, and the Grant family won’t allow that. If this blows up, Noria Group is done for!“.

Fred was confident they wouldn’t let that happen, and for good reason.

What he didn’t expect, however, was that the Rosy Bay project had long since been sepamted from the Nora Group. To be precise, Valerie and her team had already mortgaged Rosy Bay. Whoever took over would be in for a rude awakening.

What was more. Fred had signed the contract without even checking the details. The funds for the Rosy Bay project were entirely their own responsibility. The Noria Group wouldn’t contribute a single cent.

After Fred finished impecting the site, he nodded in approval. “It looks good. As long as we rebuild and sell it, we’ll make a profis. You all go ahead and submit the request to headquarters for funds!”

The others immediately perked up “If that’s the case, we’re sure to win

“Fred, congratulations? Soon, you’ll be the president of Noria Group!”

“Exactly!

“That’s amazing!”

Fred could hardly believe his dream was so close to coming true. He was already on cloud nine. This time, Valerie will have to step down for me!

Fred had always dreamed of becoming the president of Noria Group. But after submitting his request, it never got approved.

When Valerie got word of this, she couldn’t help but chuckle. On the fourth day, Fred finally lost his patience and went to the company early in the morning.

As soon as he saw Valerie, he slammed the request form down in front of her “Why haven’t you approved this? You promised that if I could revive this project, you’d make me the president of Noria Group! Now you’re not giving me the funds, Valerie. Are you playing games with mu?”

Valerie looked up at him and couldn’t help but bugh. “Did you even bother to check the contract you signed‘ Once the Rosy Bay project was mortgaged, it had nothing to do with Noria Group anymore. If you want to revive it, you’ll have to rely on your own abilities. And now you want headquarters to give you money! Am I crazy to use our lands to help you out?”

“If you really have what it takes, why don’t you go apply for a bank loan instead of making such a fuss here!” Valerie’s words left Fred stunned.

He quickly pulled out the contract he had signed and read it carefully. Sure enough, one of the clauses clearly stated the true ownership of the Rosy Bay projec

Fred immediately began to tremble, and the people around him were stunned.

Valerie maintained her calm, offering a a faint smile. “I told you from the start. It’s all about your own abilities. Why would Lhand you such an easy task instead of resolving it myself? Whether you become the president of Noria Group is entirely up to you now, Mr. Noria.”

Her eyes were full of mockery, and Charles, standing beside her, couldn’t help but laugh. “Mr. Noria, I suggest you make some quick adjustments. We’re not approving your request. I can guide you through the process of applying for a bank loan, but if you can’t manage that, then I’m afraid we’ll have to ask you to leave. And that goes for the rest of you as well,”

The message from Valerie and Charles was clear, and Fred finally realized he had fallen into a trap.

He looked at Valerie with a mix of anger and disbelief. “Well, I didn’t expect to be outsmarted by you! Valerie, well played!”

Valerie shrugged nonchalantly. “You’ve only got yourself to blame. If there’s nothing else, you all can leave now. Additionally, the company will be conducting a thorough investigation al all our recent partners

The moment those words left her mouth, the color drained from their faces. If we’re found out, what will happen to us?” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Fred clenched his fists tightly. He hadn’t even had the chance to complete his mission, and Valerie had already dealt him a severe blow

Furious and frustrated, but with no other options, he turned and left.

Once they were gone, Valerie finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had managed to turn the situation around and bought Noria Group some time,

but if Matthew didn’t return soon, she feared she wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.

Meanwhile, in Wakanda, the parking lot had been reduced to a deep crater, and the building behind it had long since collapsed. All around were ruins and debris, with black smoke billowing into the sky.

Occasional bursts of gunfire and explosions echoed through the air, lighting up the darkened sky with flashes of fire.

The ground was littered with bodies, and among them, a few unfortunate survivors, some crushed beyond recognition, others with only half their bodies remaining, moaned in pain amid the wreckage.

The sporadic screams of agony slowly roused Matthew from unconsciousness.

He shook his head to clear the haze and brushed the dust off his body. As he looked around, it took him a moment to realize the bombing had ceased. Though the danger hadn’t passed completely, it was clear that heavy fighting could break out again at any moment.

What concerned him most was the fact that people were still searching for survivors nearby.

Bang!

A gunshot snapped him to full alertness. He quickly ducked behind a nearby column and watched as a group of men searched the area, flipping over bodies and shooting any survivors they found

From amidst the rubble, a voice rang out with authority. “No matter what happens, we need him alive or dead”

No

one noticed that Matthew was hiding just a short distance away, behind the column.

Hearing those words, his eyes darkened. He reached up, wiping his face with his hand, smearing the black ash across his skin. Despite his battered appearance, the sharp glint in his eyes made it clear he was not to be underestimated
