Since the bidding proposal was out in the open, no one dared to question the results again.
As for Vivien, she barely understood the documents on the screen, but she had a pretty good idea what it meant, judging by the crowd’s reaction and Amanda’s miserable expression. Vivien sat back in her seat and tried to get as small and unnoticeable as she could.
Seeing that the other businesses were no longer interested in contesting the results of the bid, Zaniyah took up the microphone again and voiced her opinions.

Now that she lost the bet, she was scared.
After all, she was within the confines of the Roberts family home last time. Only their servants had witnessed her humiliation, who were then ordered to not tell a soul.
If she was ever unhappy, she could just vent her anger on those servants. None of the staff dared to talk back to her.
But this time, she had to kneel down and kowtow to Lucinda in front of so many people. What would they think of her?
She couldn’t kneel down before Lucinda no matter what!
So Vivien hid behind Amanda and argued stubbornly, “It was just a joke! Why’d you take it so seriously?”
