Brian, on the other hand, looked indifferent.


    The bidding officially began. Nova quickly realized that Marshall was targeting him.


    Every time she bid, Marshall would offer a lower price. Even if there was no profit, he did not care.


    Karen bit her lip and looked at Nova. "Miss Nova, Marshall is clearly going against us. What should we do?"


    Nova nced at Marshall and sneered, "He won''t gain anything by doing that. If we can''t gain anything, he won''t either. If he wants this project, give it to him."


    For thest project, before Nova could bid, Brian suddenly raised his sign.


    Marshall was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and nced at Brian. He hesitated and did not do anything.


    He did not dare topete with Brian for the project.


    At this moment, Brian turned around and looked at Nova, as if signaling her to bid with his eyes.


    Nova pursed her lips and nced at his face before looking away.


    "12.5 once, 12.5 twice, 12.5 thrice!"


    With a crisp hammering sound, the Francis Group got thest project.


    After the bidding meeting ended, Brian walked up to her. "I know you''re angry with me, but it''s not good to bring your personal emotions to work. From what I know, Marshall has been suppressing you recently."


    Nova smiled, her eyes filled with alienation. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Francis. Although Top Group didn''t get any project at the bidding today, it won''t go bankrupt."


    Her cold attitude made Brian frown slightly. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little frustrated.


    He said lightly, "Up to you."


    After Brian left, she saw Marshall standing not far away, looking at her with disdain.


    Nova smiled and greeted him generously.


    "I feel honored since you choose to suppress me. Top Group is still young We are ttered to see you care about us so much."


    Marshall snorted coldly. "Yourpany is about to be over, yet you''re still so confident? I heard that Brian has already broken up with you. Without the Francis Group to back you up, let''s see how you can fight me!"


    Nova''s heart turned cold. She looked at the man in front of her who looked like her in the past.


    Her biological father would do anything to suppress her for an outsider. It made her feel sad. "You did all this for Louise?"


    "Hmph! You''re just a young and


    naive little girl advise you to be more careful in the future. The men


    in the business world are just ying around with women like you. Women like you can only be men''s mistresses. If Brian gets tired of you, he will throw you away. Brian will marry my daughter one day. You''re just his ything for a while!"


    Nova''s lips twitched. "You''re really a good father worthy of praise!"


    With that, she turned around and left in her high heels.


    At night, there was a banquet hosted by the organizer. All the majorpanies were interacting with each other to get closer.


    Nova moved through the crowd with ease.


    Suddenly, she saw that Marshall seemed to have gotten into a conflict with a young man.


    The two of them pulled for a while. In the end, the young man pushed him and turned to leave.


    Marshall was pushed against the wall and frowned.


    After a while, he covered his heart with his hand and bent over as if he was in pain.


    Nova frowned, put down the wine ss, and ran over.
