Chapter 278
The two arrived at the tea room meant for guests to rest.
Audrey sat across from Cecilia and brewed tea for her, her movements graceful and elegant.
“Ms. Cecilia, are you here to talk to me as Ryan’s fiancée or as the third daughter of the Shaw family?” Audrey pushed the teacup toward her.
“I’m here to talk to you as the Vice Chairman of Shaw Corporation–and as myself.”
Cecilia smiled, picking up the teacup and taking a sip. “I know that after Mr. Lambert Senior’s birthday banquet, you will enter the Lambert Corporation and become its Vice Chairman.
Cecilia had been watching Audrey closely at the banquet hall, following after her when she left to go to the restroom.
For a long time, Cecilia had been covertly competing for inheritance rights with her older sisters.
Without the support of her uncle’s family, her mother, or the board of directors, Cecilia had been relying solely on her own efforts to make a name for herself all these years.
She climbed to her current position in the Shaw Corporation on her own.
“You know, my engagement with Ryan was merely verbally agreed upon by our elders. There hasn’t been a formal engagement banquet, and while Ryan hasn’t denied it publicly, he hasn’t confirmed it either.
“However, this has already provided me with significant leverage in establishing myself within the Shaw Corporation,” Cecilia said, smiling as she set down her teacup.
“I imagine that once you enter the Lambert Corporation, you may find yourself in a similar awkward situation.”
“And?” Audrey asked, smiling back at Cecilia.
Audrey hadn’t interacted with Cecilia much, but she knew she wasn’t one to waste time on
idle chatter.
“I can offer you assistance. In return, I hope that when I need it, you’ll be willing to help me too,” Cecilia said, opening her phone and handing it to Audrey.
Audrey accepted the phone and glanced at it, seeing construction plans to build the largest commercial district in Mythravia, proposed by the Shaw Corporation.

Cecilia’s willingness to share this information with Audrey was indeed a sincere gesture.
“It seems like the location is a bit off. Does the Shaw Corporation have information on the government’s future development plans?” Audrey looked up at Cecilia.
Cecilia’s eyes twinkled with amusement; she enjoyed conversing with intelligent people.
“Indeed. If you were to join the Lambert Corporation and secure a collaborative project with the Shaw Corporation, do you think the Lambert board of directors would have any objections?
“Plus, my sincerity goes far beyond just this!”
Cecilia extended her arm to swipe the phone in Audrey’s hands. “This plot of land is
currently under my control. I can sell it to you at the auction price, or I could sell it to the Vice Chairman of the Lambert Corporation once you enter.”
Audrey gazed steadily at Cecilia.
Cecilia had even disclosed information about her other ventures, showing considerable sincerity.
“Ms. Cecilia has shown such great sincerity.” Audrey didn’t continue reading and handed the phone back to Cecilia.
After all, it involved Shaw Corporation’s confidential information. “I wonder what you hope to gain from me?”
“I’m willing to allocate a share of Shaw Corporation’s projects to Lambert Corporation. I hope to obtain the opportunity to collaborate with Evergreen Biotech in return,” Cecilia said with a smile.
