Chapter 41 Bidding
Chapter 41 Bidding
After driving back to the office, I was surprised because Mario was waiting for me in my office.
On seeing me back, he put down the magazine in his hand, looked at me, and said, "How about the
bidding?"
"Not bad!" After replying to him, I caught a glimpse of the lunch box on my desk, and I raised my
eyebrows, "What’s this?"
"The soup cooked by Chef Owen. It can relieve the sickness.” He said and stepped forward to open the
lunch box.
He had given me a bowl of the soup in the morning, and after drinking it, indeed, I did not feel sick all
morning. The soup was really good.
"Thank you!" I said and sat back in my seat, raised my eyebrows, and looked at him. "Are you just here
to bring me the soup?"
"No!" He was frank and said directly, "Have you decided the successful bidder?"
I shook my head. I also had a headache with the audit of the George Group. "I asked Jackie to make
an analysis report, and I’ll screen the bidder after he gives me the report!"
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you ever thought about it? What if Jo Turner Credit Co., Ltd. is
not shortlisted and finally AC wins the bidding?" Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
To tell the truth, AC was likely to win. I looked up at him and frowned, "Why exactly does Dennis want
to replace AC?”
"You should ask him!" He replied to me, and continued, "He has some appropriate reasons to choose
Jo Turner Credit."
It was too complicated. I did not want to think much about it. I looked at him and said, "When the audit
company is determined, I may have to go on a business trip. Please prepare some medicine for me to
take during the business trip!"
She would be busy outside and become exhausted inevitably at that time. Mario was proficient in
pharmacology, and the medicine that he prescribed must be useful.
He nodded and motioned for me to have soup first, or it would get cold later.
When I had just sipped a little soup, my mobile phone rang. Diana called me. It was already afternoon.
She just got up.
When I answered the phone, before I opened my mouth, Diana said anxiously. "Clara, I'm at the police
station. Come here quickly!"
I froze and wondered why she was at the police station.
She hung up before I was about to ask her. I hurried out with my bag. Mario stopped me and frowned.
"What happened?"
"Diana is at the police station. I'll go and have a look!"
"I'll go with you!"
I did not refuse and I went to the police station with Maria. Diana was detained in the observation area.
When the guarding policeman saw me, he said, "Are you Miss Clara?"
I nodded anxiously, "Why did you hold Diana? What happened?"
"Miss Diana has been involved in the illegal reselling of aquamarine and needs a judicial transfer. Miss
Clara, please cooperate with us!"
The policeman said with awe.
I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Heroin?
How could Diana touch such a thing?
I grabbed the policeman in anxiety. "Sir, Diana can't do anything illegal. There must be some
misunderstanding. Please make it clear."
Seeing that I was emotional, the policeman frowned slightly, "Miss Clara, rest assured that our police
station will investigate it. We still have some questions to ask you separately. Please cooperate with
us!"
At this time, I did not have time to ponder over it. I followed the policeman to the inquiry room. After
answering a few questions, I probably figured out the general situation of the matter.
Last night, someone found much Heroin in Diana’s bar, but it was very strange that the person did not
call the police until today.
After the inquiry, I met Diana. It was only a few hours. She did not wear makeup, and her dark circles
looked particularly gaunt.
She saw me and grabbed me, "Clara, I was framed. It was Olivia! Last night, she came to the bar with
a man. At that time, I thought she just came to drink, but I did not expect her to set me up."
Olivia went to a bar with a man?
"Did you see what the man with her looks like?" Olivia would have no other friends apart from Dennis
and Marcus.
"He is very tall and good-looking. By the way, when I went to the George Group to visit you last time, I
heard someone call him !"
Marcus?
I knew Olivia did not like me, but why did she frame Diana?
"Why did they call the police today? Shouldn't you have called the police last night?" It was
unreasonable at all.
Diana rubbed her eyes and said, "I'm the one they aimed at. Heroin was found in my closet when the
police went to investigate this morning!"
I had a little headache, "Diana, are you keeping something back from me?" According to Olivia's
character, she would definitely make Diana lose both her life and wealth. Why did she make trouble
only for Diana without destroying her bar?
Diana hesitated for a moment before saying, "Clara, I’ll tell you something, but don't be angry. The
Time Bar has been bought by Dennis. When you asked me if I wanted to go to Hensley Town before,
the bar was already bought by Dennis."
I felt speechless at this moment, "Why did Dennis buy your bar?” He should concentrate on the George
Group. Why did he get the bar?
Diana shook her head. "I don't know. Dennis came to visit me a month ago and bought the bar at
almost twice the price. Then he transferred the bar to Olivia. I wanted to tell you about it before, but you
were too busy and in poor health during that time, so ..."
I felt extremely fearful after carefully thinking about it. Dennis bought the bar and transferred it to Olivia.
Now the owner of the bar was Olivia.
Dennis would never be stingy to give Olivia what she wanted. But as for Olivia, the bar was not her
target at all.
This game was likely for me!
I had a headache, but I comforted Diana and left the holding room. Mario was waiting for me in the hall.
On seeing me coming out, he stepped forward and said, "Are you all right?"
"If she was convicted, how many years will she be sentenced?" I opened my mouth and had a terrible
headache.
"15 years' imprisonment, life imprisonment or the death penalty, and confiscation of property, all of
which depends on the quantity. The larger the quantity, the heavier the sentence!" Mario said and took
me out of the police station.
My ears were tingling and I felt very dizzy. Olivia was cruel enough. She destroyed Diana’s life with
only a little pub.
"Don't worry. The police are still investigating and there may be a favorable turn." Mario held me aside
to the rest area and appeased me.
I grabbed him, looked up at him, and said, "A favorable turn?"
"It’ll turn around as long as the police find out that Heroin has nothing to do with her. Also, there are no
signs of drugs in her own body. Besides, someone likely put the drugs in her wardrobe because it’s in
the bar. As long as it is found out that someone has touched her wardrobe, she would be in the clear."
"Yes, we can go back to the bar to check the surveillance video!" I suddenly stood up and could not
wait to go to the bar.
