Chapter 1035
Paulo came forward, immediately bringing up the Dorvell Corporation project collaboration, his gaze sharp and unfriendly.
Sheena let out a soft chuckle, about to retort when a familiar deep voice sounded behind
her.
“Trying to meddle with my wife’s project, Paulo? Aren’t you thinking a little too highly of yourself now?”
Elliot’s voice was low and stern as he approached, carrying a handful of shopping bags.
As Elliot’s arm wrapped around her waist, Sheena smiled knowingly, leaving the stage to
him for this conversation between men.
“Mr. Jenkins, the Lawson Group securing the project with Dorvell Corporation is solely due to your friendship with Neil. This backdoor approach isn’t fair to companies like ours, who put in the effort to write thorough proposals.”
Elliot’s gaze was icy, his displeasure evident.
“If you
have issues with the outcome of the bidding, take it up with Neil. Don’t come to
Nana about it.”
Did Paulo really think Sheena and him were easy targets?
Paulo chuckled. Mr. Jenkins, I’m here to discuss with Ms. Lawson. No need for such
hostility.”
Elliot’s expression remained cold and firm. “Her business insight is outstanding. If it weren’t for the fact that she is five years younger than me and entered the business world. many years later, she might be the one dominating the business circles in Froania, not me. I won’t allow anyone to underestimate her abilities. If you doubt the outcome of the bidding, take it up with Neil and accept defeat gracefully.”
With those harsh words, Elliot led Sheena away, casting a final glance at Anne.
As they left, Paulo pulled Anne into his embrace once more, trying to be affectionate.
“Darling, Elliot’s connected with many bigshots globally due to his National Investigation Bureau background. He’s not someone to mess with. Maybe we should let go bidding matter?”

Anne frowned in frustration, pushing him away and rejecting his affection.
“Ms. Lawson mocked me, comparing me to the illegitimate daughter of the Lawson family who died. She ridiculed me for overestimating myself, calling me an ugly duckling.”
Paulo was taken aback. “You’re now the girlfriend of an earl, and she said that to you?”
Anne sniffled softly, nodding gently.
Soon, tears stained her innocent and incredibly beautiful face.
Seeing her like this broke Paulo’s heart.
With his rough hands, calloused and wrinkled, he gently wiped away her tears.
“My darling, don’t cry. Seeing you sad hurts me more than anything.”
Anne nestled into his embrace, softly sobbing.

“Darling, you have to help me. She not only snatched the bidding from me, but she also mocked me openly, showing blatant disrespect toward you.”
Paulo patted her delicate back, soothing her. “Alright, I’ll help you get revenge. I heard they’re heading back to Froania tomorrow. I’ll make sure to settle this before then.”
Satisfied, Anne nodded, nuzzling against his broad chest like a tender and irresistibly cute
kitten.
Then, remembering a crucial detail, she added, “She knows martial arts
darling.”
Paulo kissed her forehead gently. “Got it, I understand.”
so be careful,
As they embraced, their silhouette looked less like that of lovers and more like that of a father comforting his daughter from afar.
Back in the hotel’s presidential suite, Sheena, exhausted from a day of shopping and
leisure, flopped onto the bed, indulging in a much–needed rest.
