Chapter 238
Aubree couldn’t just tell Bowen that something would go wrong with this land in the future. She hadn’t conducted any investigation, and no way she could claim to know in advance. That would be way too suspicious, she
She gripped Bowen’s arm and asked, “Is this project a must for Turner Group?”
Bowen’s gaze met her earnest gaze, and he said, “No.”
thought.
According to their estimates, this project was highly profitable. However, even if the Turner Group lost it, there would be no impact. Trust me. Drop the bid, Aubree said firmly.
Bowen was slightly hesitant. ‘Bree does have a point, he thought. “If any unforeseen issues were to arise during development, it would be a real headache for Turner Group.”
Kelvin, by the side, was anxious. While he admitted Aubree’s money–making ideas were truly ingenious, she clearly lacked expertise in project investments. He was worried Bowen would agree to give up just to please Aubree.
“Mr. Turner, we can’t just walk away. Many board members are eyeing this project,” Kelvin said
Aubree was silent, just watching Bowen as she waited for his final answer. If he still chose to bid, she wouldn’t stop him again. It’s really too much to ask him to give up the bid just because of a few words from me, without any evidence,‘ she thought.
Bowen fell silent. “Bree, are you… Are you saying you know this project will run into trouble later?” he asked.
Aubree froze. She didn’t expect Bowen to be this sharp. He caught the true meaning behind her words right away. “Yes, but I don’t have any evidence to prove it. Do you trust me?” she asked.
Kelvin, drop the bid, Bowen said.
He trusts me! Aubree thought to herself.
Bowen’s brown eyes met hers, unwavering. “I trust you, Bree. I believe every word you say,” he said.
Kelvin clutched his head in frustration. What the hell is this? No investigation, no evidence, and just one word from Miss Miller, and we’re giving up?” he cursed deep down. ‘Boss is blinded by love!
Kelvinn could only weep silently.
In reality, Bowen wasn’t acting on mere ernotion. This project would certainly benefit Turner Group’s development, but only if it could be completed smoothly, without any major setbacks along the way.
Doubling the investment would pose substantial risks for Turner Group. The project timeline wasn’t short, and if anything went wrong. they might not recoup the capital at all, or the payback period could be significantly extended.
After weighing all angles, giving up seemed like a wise choice. “Leave the board to me. I’ll take full responsibility, Bowen said.
Kelvin could only swallow his remaining words. ‘Forget it. As long as Boss is happy, he thought resignedly.

With the bidding about to begin, Kelvin rushed to inform the organizers that Turner Group was withdrawing from the bid.
Back to her seat in the first–floor lobby, Elizabeth wore a look of absolute confidence. “Mr. Turner said earlier that it would come down to our abilities. Well, I’m afraid this time. I’m just more capable,” she said.
The sealed bids from all participating corporations had been delivered to the tender committee. Everyone was now waiting for the final result.
The Lawson Group or the Turner Group? they wondered.
Most people still believed the Turner Group had the better shot at winning. Some, eager to curry favor with Bowen, were already nishing to congratulate him.
“Looks like this project will end up in the hands of the Tumer Group after all. Mr. Turner is young, capable, and far–sighted. If my useless son were even half as impressive, I’d be grinning in my sleep,” someone said,

“Mr. Turner, I wonder if I could have the honor of having a meal with you after you win the bid? I have a project on my end, but not sure if you’ll be interested, another person said,
