Chapter 24
“Dear, what's wrong?”
Madison looked at Archie's changing expression and asked with concern.
Archie let out a deep sigh and said, “We still don’t know the full situation. Madison, please freshen up and put on some makeup. Accompany me to Darth Holdings.”
He wanted to meet with Bobby in person.
“Alright, dear. Just wait for me.”
Madison immediately went into the bathroom and covered some of the bruises on her face with foundation.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of Darth Holdings. “Damn it! Why is this happening?!”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Archie, who had been rejected, kicked a stone lion statue at the entrance angrily.
He had specially gone there to meet with Bobby.
However, Bobby didn’t even bother to see him. Instead, the person who had responded to him was Bobby’s secretary.
The secretary's message was crystal clear. They had already chosen another candidate for the city construction project. “Dear, please calm down,” Madison comforted him.
“How can | calm down?!”
Archie was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, “We had already agreed on everything during the previous negotiations!”
He couldn't understand why Bobby had suddenly changed his mind. Bobby's attitude toward him was now completely different from before.
In order to secure this project, the Price family had even taken the initiative to give up 30% of their shares.
His father and Bobby had a good business relationship. Even if Bobby wanted to give the project to someone else, he should have at least informed Archie about it instead of treating him like an outsider.
Archie found it hard to accept. He was also very confused. Something had to have happened for the situation to turn out like this! “Dear, do you think someone offered Mr. Kane something in exchange for the project?” Madison analyzed. In the business world, it wasn’t uncommon for people to use underhanded means like bribery to gain a competitive advantage over others.
“That’s impossible!” Archie immediately denied.
“With Bobby’s current status and position, ordinary bribes wouldn't sway him.
“Besides, Lord Blackheart is also in Yrando now. He might visit Darth Holdings at any time. If he discovers that Mr. Kane is using his position for personal gain, the consequences will be severe.
“Mr. Kane isn’t foolish. There’s no need for him to take such a big risk.

“Then, what could be the reason, dear?”
Madison couldn't understand it.
“I don’t know,” Archie said in a soft voice.
Not to mention Madison, even he himself couldn’t make sense of it.
As they stood there puzzled, a white BMW 320i slowly pulled up in front of the company’s entrance. The car door opened, and two figures got out.
“Phew, I’m so nervous. I’m about to meet Mr. Kane. | absolutely can’t make any mistakes!” Dakota took a few deep breaths as she walked.
This contract was very important for the Jennings family. She couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
“Don't be nervous, and just stay calm. You'll be fine,” Cameron reassured her.
“Yeah,” Dakota nodded vigorously, psyching herself up.
The two walked up the steps. As they reached the top of the stairs, they spotted two familiar figures. The other party also noticed them, and their gazes locked.
“Cameron, it’s you again!” Madison frowned in disgust.
“And Dakota, why are you with someone like him?”
