The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce

Chapter 545: Chapter 540: Letting the Hopkins Family’s Face Rub Against the Ground_1
 

Joshua Thompson let out a scornful laugh, flipping her the bird as if… mocking her overconfidence.

Gillian Thompson was so angry that she trembled, and her nose turned sour.

She looked to her second brother, only to find that his eyes were fixed on the stage, not paying her any attention.

If it was before, he would definitely be sitting next to her, facing all of this with her. But now, his eyes were filled with someone else entirely.

At the thought, Gillian Thompson felt a pang in her heart. The people sitting in the front row were like a deeply rooted thorn in her eyes.

The first to take the stage was Michael Gallagher.

From the establishment of the project, the allocation of funds, to the mobilisation of personnel, Michael detailed all the plans.

As soon as he finished his presentation, the entire room fell silent.

For a full half-hour, his detailed explanation of the project amazed everyone.

In these bidding meetings, details of the projects were usually not disclosed to avoid tampery or plagiarism.

But clearly, the Gallagher Group had no such worries.

The brilliant exhibition of the project amazed all the spectators.

Throughout Michael’s presentation, a smile lit up Dion Rodgurez’s face, but deep down he was fascinated.

He could imagine that if Michael took over this project, it could not only be completed perfectly but also ahead of schedule.

No wonder Michael could elevate the whole Gallagher family to the top five of Sunnydale, this kind of grandeur and strategy was hard to match.

Ever since Nicholas entered the room, Catrina Rodgurez’s mind couldn’t focus on anything else.

She looked at Nicholas, her eyes welling up with tears.

Three years, a whole three years, Nicholas had never contacted her, she thought she had forgotten him, but the moment she saw Nicholas, all the emotions came rushing back.

Her heart was pounding so fiercely that her head was in a total daze, she didn’t know what Michael was talking about.

Nicholas was equally shocked.

He stared at Catrina Rodgurez, his face filled with complex emotions.

He thought he would never see her again in his life.

“Does anyone else want to take the stage?” asked Dion Rodgurez who was somewhat disinterested in the other contestants after hearing Michael Gallagher’s plan.

If there were no exceptions, he would choose the Gallagher Group.

Others, hearing this, hesitated and dared not to take the stage.

The first one to come out was Dendy Moore, anyone after that would be making a fool of themselves.

Whether they had the capabilities of the Gallagher Group was another story, just comparing the project proposal with theirs, they were clearly outclassed.

Moreover, the Gallagher Group didn’t just have Michael, but also Molly Walker.

And behind Molly Walker was “W”, as well as Stephen Crane.

Of course, those who could be present today were all insightful individuals.

Suddenly, a voice sounded: “Our Leaford Group withdraws.”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and soon others followed suit.

“Our Zhang Group also withdraws.”

“We, Coleman Family, also withdraw, if we knew Miss Walker was participating, we wouldn’t have even prepared our speech draft.”

“Yes, once Mr. Gallagher’s plan came out, we, the Harris Family, had to concede, so this time, we also withdraw.”

“Mr. Gallagher’s plan is almost perfect. This project is related to the development of the entire Sunnydale City. Letting Mr. Gallagher manage it would also be our contribution to Orientopia as entrepreneurs.”

Watching these people forfeit one after another, both Gillian Thompson and Ethan Hopkins were so shocked that they went weak in the knees.

Withdraw, all of them withdrew, what would they do now?

Would the Hopkins family withdraw?

Of course not.

But they had to admit that they simply couldn’t come up with a better plan than Michael Gallagher.

If they came out to bid now, it would be tantamount to humiliating the Hopkins family, but if they didn’t show up, the project would fall into Michael Gallagher’s hands.

No, she couldn’t accept it!

“Does anyone else want to come up to bid?”

Dion Rodriguez was not surprised, but symbolically asked.

The forfeits of these people were in his expectations.

Such a nearly perfect plan, even if others wanted to compete, they wouldn’t have the confidence to surpass it.

“There is.”

Gillian Thompson was so angry that she bit her teeth clenched, her face full of resentment.

Should they not seize this opportunity? Are they really going to hand it over to others?

She believed in Ethan Hopkins, and even more in Catrina Rodgurez.

Thinking about this, she looked at Catrina Rodgurez, only to find that she disappeared at some point!

Gillian Thompson’s eyelids kept twitching, but when she looked towards Nicholas Thompson, she couldn’t see him either.

Nicholas Thompson and Catrina Rodgurez both had left!

“Gabriel, Gabriel!” Ethan Hopkins’s voice was somewhat anxious, “I’m not suitable to go on stage right now, you represent the Hopkins family.”

She represents the Hopkins family?

She hadn’t prepared anything, how could she represent?

Ethan Hopkins grimly glanced at his bag, Gillian Thompson quickly reacted and took out the speech draft from the bag.

Seeing the words on it, Gillian Thompson’s heart “thumped”.

Just a few words, merely a brief outline of the plan, there was almost no content.

How is she supposed to give a speech? How could she compete with Michael Gallagher?!

“I’m not prepared.” Ethan Hopkins’s low voice was full of dissatisfaction.

Nicholas Thompson said he could help him fix it, and he was complacent about it, he briefly wrote a few sentences on the content of the bid, and it was written just before going on stage.

Both Nicholas Thompson and Damian Thompson said they could help him, so where would he have the mood to work on such a thing.

For him, shouldn’t they take care of everything, including the content of the bid?

Just now, when Gillian Thompson was speaking, he didn’t even have time to stop her.

The Hopkins family can’t afford to lose face like this, having Gillian Thompson go in his stead, so he can push all the responsibility on her later, maybe they can retain a little face.

Looking at Ethan Hopkins’s dissatisfied expression, Gillian Thompson knew that this time, she was destined to lose face.

If she doesn’t go, the people of the Hopkins family will definitely blame her.

If she goes, it’s her face that’s being lost.

She was caught in a dilemma, but she had to move forward.

Gillian Thompson forced a smile, picked up the crutch next to the wheelchair, and stood up under the watchful eyes of everyone.

This action made the atmosphere on the scene silent, and everyone treated her with respect.

Physically handicapped but mentally unyielding! What great courage!

Gillian Thompson, suppressing her nervousness and shame, slowly moved onto the stage.

The applause thundered.

“Miss Thompson used to be part of the Thompson family. I don’t know who you are representing on stage today?” Dion Rodriguez saw her come up, his expression amiable.

Gillian Thompson clenched the crutch in her hand nervously, her voice trembling, “Hop…Hopkins.”

It’s over, her voice is trembling when she speaks!

Ethan Hopkins’s face hardened from below the stage.

A worthless person who couldn’t even handle such a small matter, being so nervous, she was almost peeing her pants, this was nothing like the once glorious Gillian Thompson of the Thompson family, she was even worse than a high school student!

“The Hopkins family? Oh…the Hopkins Group from Sunnydale?” Dion Rodriguez remembered his daughter’s instructions, although he couldn’t bias towards Gillian Thompson, but he could comfort her a bit in his words, “The Hopkins family has always walked the path of tech-construction management, I have high expectations of it, so Miss Thompson, please begin.”

Hearing this, Gillian Thompson was so embarrassed that she almost cried out.

Have high expectations?

If he hears the content of the speech later, I’m afraid he won’t have high expectations anymore.

She glanced fitfully towards the entrance, hoping for Catrina Rodriguez to come in to save the day, even if she was looking expectantly, she still didn’t wait for the person who could rescue her from this predicament.

Today, it seems like she will lose face along with the Hopkins family’s face.
