To make matters worse, she heard the crowd begin to whisper around her.
Their sharp gazes were prickling her skin.
Just then, Vivien shot to her feet and questioned the results.
“No, that’s impossible! What kind of bullshit is this? What even is that Anglin Real Estate company? I’m sure they can’t compare to the Roberts Group in terms of performance and reputation! Admit it, were you bribed? Are you cheating us out of what is rightfully ours?”

The host’s face darkened.
“Miss Roberts, I must ask you to watch your language. This is a comprehensive and unanimous decision that we have reached after a thorough study of the business and budget plans provided by all the participating companies. I assure you, the results are fair and just.”
“I don’t believe it! Show us the evidence that you’re telling the truth! Otherwise, I will never accept your so-called results!” Vivien was screeching like a shrew, refusing to let the matter go.
The host shifted on his feet as he found himself in a dilemma.

“Well, then. If you don’t have any evidence to show, then the result for this particular bid is invalid!”
“Well…” The host flushed in embarrassment.

Every head turned in her direction, their faces a mask of shock and disbelief.
To think that the CEO of the controversial Anglin Real Estate would be sitting in an inconspicuous spot far out in the back. Didn’t that mean that the company’s scale was just as insignificant as her designated seat?
How could they have won the bid?
They couldn’t compare with the Roberts Group, and couldn’t they compare with Anglin Real Estate?
The parties from the other companies started to echo Vivien, asking for the results to be voided and demanding for some form of proof.
It didn’t take long for an uproar to ensue.
Zaniyah didn’t flinch and continued walking until she reached the stage. She picked up a spare microphone and turned to the audience.
