Son-in-law From Rags to Riches

Chapter 55

Chapter 55 The Bidding Is About to Begin!

On the 20th floor of Maple Properties, in the president’s office.

After sending Pamela back to the branch company, Joshua went to the company.

Alexia stood in front of Joshua’s desk and reported, “According to the news we just received, all the funds on the account of the Morton Group have been frozen. A large number of fixed assets will be mortgaged and sold. All the relevant personnel who break the law are under control. Moreover, the Morton Group has already expressed that they have given up on this project bidding.”

“How about Gideon?”

“The evidence of Gideon hitting someone is conclusive. Now he has been detained and is ready to go through the follow-up prosecution process. It is estimated that he will be sentenced to three to five years in prison!”

Three to five years in prison would mean that Gideon’s power in New York was completely crushed.

Everything that he had been running for decades was ruined.

However, compared to Ralph, Gideon was lucky. At least he was alive.

In fact, Joshua admired Ralph a little.

Last night, before Joshua left Peach Blossoms Nightclub, he asked Ralph and Reuben to choose one to be the protagonist in the car accident.

In the end, Ralph became the protagonist, so he must have taken the initiative to protect his son.

He was brave as a father.

However, Ralph was not as lucky as Leyla, and he was killed by Gideon’s car.

Maybe if Ralph didn’t have such a son, with his ability, he would have gotten a chance to be successful in New York!

Sighing, Joshua asked Alexia, “How are the bidding arrangements for tomorrow?”

“It has been arranged properly. The only people who participated in the bidding this time are the Hill family and the Windsor family. It will start tomorrow at nine o’clock in the morning in the conference room on the tenth floor of our company.”

Joshua nodded. “Good! Then I’ll have to trouble you to preside over the overall situation!”

Alexia was stunned and quickly refused, ‘Mr. Palmer, the total scale of this auction is more than 160 million

dollars. This level of business cooperation needs you to personally decide!” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Joshua shook his head and smiled, “It doesn’t matter. You just need to take care of the whole process. I have other plans. I’ll tell you what to do…”

In the Hill Group.

As the oldest building materials companies in New York, the Hill Group and the Morton Group were almost equally powerful, and they had always been competing with each other.

However, after learning that the Morton Group had fallen this morning, the Hill Group held an emergency

meeting.

Griffin Hill, the current head of the Hill family, was overjoyed. He said to the higher-ups of the company, “Let’s cut to the chase. Now that the Morton Group is done for, our Hill Group has become the biggest manufacturer of materials in New York!

“Tomorrow, the bidding for Maple Properties will begin. After we take it down, our construction material

business will be unshakable in New York!”

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the many higher-ups in the office. “For tomorrow’s bidding, what do you all think? You can speak freely!”

Everyone started discussing “Mr. Hill, in my opinion, this time we will win the bid with a hundred percent certainty! After all, the Morton family has fallen. I really can’t think of any other family in New York who can be our match!”

“That’s right! Even if the remaining construction materials company that participated in the competition was kept confidential and not announced, even if they combined, they still wouldn’t be a match for us. All of this is thanks to you!”

“That’s right. The leader is the most important. Mr. Hill is the one who has made great contributions to our group!”

Their flattery made Griffin very pleased.

He gestured for everyone to stop for a moment and smiled. “Eh-hem! Everyone has contributed greatly to the Hill Group. Although we will win the bid, we still need to send representatives for tomorrow’s bidding. How about this? Patrick Lumley will represent the Hill Group.”

Upon hearing this, a handsome young man who was around twenty-four or twenty-five years old immediately stood up and said with a happy expression, “I will definitely accomplish my mission!”

“Good! With Mr. Lumley, we will definitely succeed!”

“Mr. Hill has good eyes. We should learn from him!”

The rest of the higher-ups in the room continued to flatter.

At least seven or eight people had higher positions in the company than Patrick.

But they had to flatter him.

Because Patrick was the son-in-law of the Hill family!

Although Griffin was dissolute, he only had one child, a daughter.

In the future, when he grew old, all the properties would be inherited by his daughter.

He was worried that when his daughter got married in the future, all these assets would become someone else’s.

That was why he found his daughter a matrilocal son-in-law, Patrick.

Patrick was not bad looking, and his ability was not bad.

He was a little conceited.

But this did not affect Griffin’s efforts to nurture Patrick.

Therefore, Patrick could be promoted to the marketing manager of the Hill Group in just over three years.

He became one of the higher-ups of the Hill Group.

He was promising.

Griffin nodded with satisfaction. “Then I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip on behalf of the Hill Group tomorrow. Remember! Although our strength is not as good as Maple Properties, now that the Morton Group has collapsed, our construction materials are dominated by New York. It is not easy for Maple Properties to

find a suitable partner.

“That is to say, the initiative is actually in our hands. Do you understand what it means?”

Patrick’s eyes lit up, and he nodded his head repeatedly to show that he understood!

He was so excited that he could not calm down. All these years, he seemed to have a bright future, but in order to become the son-in-law of the Hill family, he had to bear more pressure over the years.

Someone scolded him for being a kept man..

Someone mocked him as a gigolo.

However, what he could not accept the most was that someone secretly compared him to the famous good-for-nothing son-in-law of New York, Joshua!

He thought, bullshit!

How could that kind of trash compare to me?

What right does he have?

Heh!

When I successfully win the bid this time, I will be free from being compared to Joshua!

The next day came in the blink of an eye.

The construction materials for Maple Properties this year officially arrived!

The Windsor family drove neatly to Maple Properties early in the morning!

Even Mary came with them, which showed how much importance she attached to the bidding.in

The car stopped in the parking lot outside the company.

When Marsh and Giselle got out of the car and saw the entrance and building of Maple Properties, they couldn’t help but think of the tragic encounter a few days ago.

They were still angry.

Especially Giselle. She caught a glimpse of the trash can by the road at a glance.

At that time, she was holding it and shouting such shameful lines for the video on TikTok.

This video made her famous!

It had already been 24 hours, and the video had already been deleted.

But she had been so embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Giselle cursed Joshua again.

After Mary got out of the car, she looked around and frowned unhappily. “Where is that damned girl Pamela? Doesn’t she know what day it is today? Why is she still not coming over? Does she want to get out of the Windsor family?’
