Chapter 656 That''s Why My Husband Chose Me


    Mavis had prepared that bid proposal.


    Bianca knew very well who Mavis Laviere was. She was not really considered a love rival, but she was


    a schemer that kept herself close to Luke.


    Mavis had even stuffed women''s lingerie in Luke''s car to try to create a misunderstanding.


    Bianca did not have a good impression of Mavis, but Mavis had a strong work ethic and was crucial to


    Luke''s sess.


    She hoped that Mavis did not interact with her husband too much, even though the interactions were


    strictly business. However, she did not say anything.


    Fortunately, Luke told Mavis something, and she stopped with her antics.


    Bianca carefully read Mavis''s proposal and started frowning.


    She picked up the internal phone. "Tina, can you ask Ms. Laviere toe to the CEO''s office?" "In a


    moment." Tina went to Mavis''s office and asked her to go to the CEO''s office.


    Mavis had been in low spirits ever since she knew that Luke had met with an ident.


    She had been crying, unable to ept the fact that Luke was gone.


    She sank into the pits of despair and was inconsble.


    Usually, she would be wearing exquisite make-up. Now that Luke was gone, she did not have the mood


    to primp herself.


    Her usually morous appearance was reced by sunken eye sockets and disheveled hair. She


    seemed to have aged ten years in a few days.


    She followed the secretary to the CEO''s office.


    When Mavis saw Bianca sitting in Luke''s chair reading documents, her eyes shed with


    resentmentjealousy, and condescension.


    "Ms. Laviere is here, Ms. Rayne." Tina led Mavis into the CEO''s office, greeted Bianca, then returned


    to her office.


    "Is there anything, Ms. Rayne?" Mavis tried to hide her emotions. However, her resentment toward


    Bianca was too deep, and they were the only people in the office, so she did not have any qualms


    about disying her emotions on her face.


    Of course, Bianca knew what Mavis was thinking.


    She found it incredibly funny.


    Ms. Laviere was only Luke''s partner at work. The affection was one-sided. Bianca was Luke’s true


    partner in life.


    Not only did Mavis covet her husband, but what right did she have to wear that expression on her face


    when facing Luke''s legally wedded wife, as though Bianca was the one who had snatched Mavis''s


    man?


    It was not the time to quibble over that.


    Bianca spread the bid proposal in front of Mavis and asked her, "Did you prepare this bid proposal, Ms.


    Laviere?" "Didn''t you see my name at the end of the document, or is your eyesight failing you at such a


    young age?" Mavis said coldly.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Mavis did not have any respect for that woman at all. To her, Bianca was like a parasite who could only


    rely on men to survive. She expected Bianca to wither and die without the protection of her man.


    How could a woman like that stand shoulder to shoulder with Luke?


    To Mavis, Bianca had probably charmed the man using her innocent face and docile personality. Not


    only did Bianca manage to bear several children for Luke, but she also got the lion''s share of Luke''s


    will.


    The man must have loved her so much that he was willing to protect her even after his death.


    Mavis could not bear with that thought!


    Responding to Mavis''s provocation, Bianca lifted her head and stared at


    Mavis''s arrogant face. "I don''t think that my eyesight is any of your concern, Ms. Laviere. In fact, maybe


    that''s why my husband chose me. Your eyesight may be better than mine, Ms. Laviere, but you''re blind


    to the fact that Mr. Crawford doesn''t have any affection for you at all. I''m satisfied with what I have, and


    I hope you know your ce."


    Mavis gritted her teeth at Bianca''s retort. However, she could not say anything because of Bianca''s


    current status. "Ms. Rayne, did you call me up here just to humiliate me? If that''s the case, I don’t have


    the free time for that!" "Your proposal is very detailed, Ms. Laviere, but I have a question."


    Bianca flipped to a page in the bid proposal and said to Mavis, "There is a lot of vacantnd around


    Draco Lake, but you''ve decided on this plot.


    There might be a subway line running through it, but the people living there are natives. We will meet a


    lot of resistance when we have to relocate them. Furthermore,nd prices in that area have been high


    because of its proximity to a vocational college. Why do you want to bid for that plot?"


    Mavis wasughing up her sleeve. She thought that Bianca was more suited to staying at home raising


    children.


    Even so, she maintained her superiority as she exined to Bianca, "The region surrounding Draco


    Lake is developing rapidly. Property prices have risen from about two thousand to more than ten


    thousand in three years. That is proof of thend''s worth. There might be many natives living in the


    area, but they can be settled by giving them adequatepensation.


    Moreover, there are many favorable conditions to developing a residential project there, including the


    avability of schools, the ease of public transport, and futuremercial developments. The plot of


    land will be a great boost to T Corporation''s future growth."


    Bianca pointed at the bright red mark, paused, and said, "You''ve highlighted that our main bidding


    competitor is tt Corporation. tt Corporation is quite well-connected, while they’re not averse to


    using bidrigging and collusive tendering to win bids. How confident are you that we''ll win the bid, Ms.


    Laviere?"


    Mavis replied impatiently and condescendingly, "I''m only in charge of preparing the proposal, but it''s up


    to your capabilities to win the bid, Ms. Rayne. Mr. Crawford used to be in charge of all this. He''ll be able


    to win whatever bid he wants."


    Bianca could see from Mavis''s eyes that she was doubting her abilities.


    If Luke were the one sitting in the CEO''s seat, Mavis''s attitude would have been totally different.


    She closed the proposal and looked at Mavis calmly. "Don''t worry, Ms.


    Laviere. I''ll do my best to fight for the plot ofnd. You can go now. There are still some imperfections in


    the proposal. Please revise it."


    At that time, Ate Zuckerman, one of Luke''s four secretaries, happened to enter the CEO''s office to


    deliver some documents to Bianca.


    She happened to hear Bianca say that to Mavis as she entered through the door.


    She smirked, ced the documents on the table, then discreetly left the office...
