Chapter 110 Put on A Show

“Aren’t you going in?” Jared also realized that Amber was here for the meeting, although he didn’t know how she had obtained the qualification.

Amber bit her bottom lip. “After you. I don’t want to go inside with you.”

She could hear there were many attendees in the box.

If she entered with him together, others would make wild guesses again. Besides, they were in an awkward relationship.

Jared seemed to have understood something. He looked down and said, “There are only three minutes ahead. Anyone late for the meeting would lose the qualification.”

As he spoke, he pushed the door and entered. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

It seemed he was reminding her.

No matter what, Amber remembered it seriously. She gazed at her watch. After one minute, she took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and entered.”

Many attendees gaped at her.

“Is she Mr. Farrell’s ex–wife?”

“She’s also the vice president of Goldstone Co.”

“Goldstone Co.? It’s going bankrupt. How did they get the qualification?”

They kept discussing in low voices except for Jared and Trenton.

Jared looked down a bit as if he was sorting out the documents in his hands. In fact, from the corner of his eyes, he was looking at Amber.

She didn’t look timid or nervous when on such an occasion. He curled up his lips into a smile. A trace of admiration flashed through his eyes quickly.

However, Trenton squinted at Amber viciously, wishing to skin her alive.

Amber sensed his hostility. She didn’t fear it. Instead, she smiled gracefully at him and said, “Long time no see,

Mr. Gardner.”

Trenton suddenly gaped.

He saw his mother in her suddenly.

Especially her smile just now, looked so much like his mother’s provoking smile when she was young.

Amber didn’t know why Trenton suddenly stared at her intently. She wasn’t in the mood to figure it out, either. She

withdrew her gaze and switched her attention to Jared.

Jared was sitting in the host chair in the meeting, so she could tell he was the sponsor of this cooperation project

of the new energy.

For a moment, Amber’s heart sank.

She didn’t have much confidence to make her company a partner because Goldstone Co. wasn’t mighty without any advantages. However, she still had a ray of hope.

But now, the project sponsor was her ex–husband, who didn’t love her and even disgusted her. He would definitely not cooperate with her. She wondered what to do.

Amber looked down, feeling rather flagging.

Seeing that, Jared frowned.

He wondered what had happened to her.

“Mr. Farrell, it’s time to start the meeting,” Ben reminded him.

Jared withdrew his attention from Amber and put down the sorted documents. He glanced through all the attendees and said, “Have you all read through the proposal?”

“Yes.” All nodded.

Jared added, “The new energy technology is the latest result from the research department of my company. It could be used in different industries to highly increase efficiency. The most important is it’s environment–friendly.”

He paused a bit and continued, “Currently, the government has known about the technology, and they don’t allow the Farrell Group to monopolize. Hence, I started a cooperation proposal and wanted to select five business

partners in the cooperation.”

Amber understood and muttered, “Now I see.”

When she was reading the proposal, she was confused. The sponsor had such advanced technology, but why didn’t he develop the project himself? It turned out to avoid monopolization.

It made sense, though. If only one enterprise had such a technology, the economic balance would be broken, which the government wouldn’t allow.

“Mr. Farrell, we all understand what you’ve said. But, I have a question.” Suddenly, Trenton raised his hand.

Jared looked at him, “Yes?”

Trenton looked over at Amber.

Amber frowned, realizing that this man would give her a hard time again.

Sure enough, Trenton pointed at Amber. “When you invited us for this meeting, you said you would only invite the top–twenty companies in Olkmore City ad select five most suitable companies from them. Mr. Farrell, why is the representative of Goldstone also here?”

Others looked at Amber with searching eyes.

Amber clenched her hands, her face sullen.

Only then did she know that Jared had only invited the top twenty companies. She wondered how Bernardo had managed to get the qualification.

Besides, he didn’t tell her. He wanted her to be humiliated here.

Amber trembled in anger.

Seeing that, Jared felt sorry for her. However, he was still calm. “I asked Ben to offer some additional seats for

the medium–sized companies. They were selected by the draw lots.”

“I haven’t heard about such things before? How did Goldstone win one of them coincidentally? Jared Farrell, did

you give it to her on purpose?” Trenton looked at him doubtfully.

Jared’s face darkened. “Mr. Gardner, if you don’t believe me, you can go ahead to look into the selection later. All

right. Let’s go on.”

He looked pretty unhappy. Trenton snorted and quieted down.

Although he was Jared’s future father–in–law, Jared hadn’t married Makenna yet.

Hence, Trenton knew that he couldn’t go too far.

“As Mr. Gardner said earlier, I’ll choose the five most suitable companies to cooperate with. The judgment standard will be the cooperation plan.”

Jared glanced through them and looked at Amber. “Every company shall give me a proposal. The content. includes the use, value, advantages, and disadvantages of using the new energy technology. Please send it to the

Farrell Group by next Monday. I’ll make the final decision.”

“That works.” All attendees nodded.

Trenton made trouble again. “Mr. Farrell, you won’t help Ms. Reed because she is your ex–wife, will you?”

Jared’s face turned gloomy.

Before he spoke, Amber said with a smile, “Excuse me, Mr. Gardner. Mr. Farrell and I have no relations at all. How could he open a backdoor for me? Even we used to be a couple, he won’t do it. Mr. Gardner, you are his future father- in-law. You are the one who could pull strings. Besides…”

Amber smiled faintly at the man in the host chair and continued, “You are Mr. Farrell’s future father–in– law. As long as you request, Mr. Farrell will save a place for you. No matter how lousy your proposal will be, he’ll marry your daughter in the future, won’t he?”

Upon hearing her words, others looked at Jared and Trenton weirdly.

Especially when they looked at Trenton, they looked hostile.

They agreed with Amber. Trenton was Jared’s future father–in–law. Definitely, Jared would save him a place.

Although it made sense, they felt it was so unfair. They all came here for fair competition, but Trenton could win one place without working hard.

Feeling their hostilities, Trenton was so angry that his face was twisted.

He knew Amber had done it on purpose. She deliberately made others against him and left him no way out.

Trenton indeed planned to ask Jared to give him a place directly. However, other candidates had paid attention to him because of Amber’s reminder. If he insisted Jared give him a place, he would become the enemy of dozens of

companies.

Thinking of that, Trenton suppressed his anger and said with a wry smile, “Please rest assured. I won’t do that.”

“Mr. Gardener, you wouldn’t do it, but it doesn’t mean Ms. Gardner wouldn’t do it either.” Amber didn’t want to let go of him. Supporting her chin, she smiled and said, “As long as Ms. Gardner talked to Mr. Farrell, Mr. Farrell will definitely agree.”

Jared clenched his fists and said in a cold tone, “Am I such a man blinded by love in your opinion?”
