Chapter 86 - Clash (4) (1/2)

Ch- 86

Amelia was flustered when she heard her words. How could she not?

But why can't she find the logo and mark it?

She must be bluffing. Yes! That's the only possible way!

”Ms. Zora… Are you kidding me? I worked on this project day and night. And I know more about this than you. I can recite each and every line from it. Anybody can ask me questions about it. I will answer them. And as for the logo and sign…. No one is blind here,” Amelia said haughtily.

Even though she said that… she felt something was wrong with Eleanor today.

”Fine then… Since you said it,” Eleanor said.

”Mr. Emerson and Mr. Callan, could please save my face and take my request,” Eleanor said politely with a smile. Even though her cheek was hurting she said nothing but tried her best to smile.

Cedric wanted to punch this woman but his respect for women stopped him from doing that.

Cedric nodded his head at Eleanor's words. Edward nodded his head too at Eleanor.

”Please ask questions about the project. Since basically or theoretically I 'stole' her concept. Our concepts must be the same. So… I don't think there is no way she could answer it,” Eleanor said.

”Sure, wifey,” Cedric said, earning a sharp glare from Eleanor. If she could, she would have thrown her pencil heel on his face at that moment. But she has to save his face. But her gaze said to him that she stored something for him afterward. Cedric gulped nervously and shifted his gaze to Amelia, only then he noticed that she was gazing at Eleanor hatefully. But all these things didn't go unnoticed by Edward. He saw something that he never saw in Cedric. That was… Fear!! DID YOU HEAR THAT!!!! CEDRIC IS SCARED OF HIS WIFE!!  Dammit!!

A piece of news that could blow up the entire country with gossip!! Dammit!! He found the remote control of his friend!! He needs to win favor from his sister-in-law.

Right!!

This was the chance for him to win the favor of his sister-in-law!!

”Sister-in-law, Why not let her finish presenting the presentation? I want to see how good she can say,” Edward said.

”We can ask the questionnaire later or…”

”…in the middle of her presentation,” he added as he drew his words, making Amelia shiver.

Eleanor understood the underlying meaning of his words. She nodded with a smirk.

She got down from the stage and was about to sit in her place.

”Wifey, why don't you sit beside me?” Cedric asked, making everyone gaped in astonishment.

”Mr. Emerson, I don't dare to mix relations and business in a single plate. I apologize for my behavior,” Eleanor smiled politely and sat in her seat with her chin high and crossing her right leg over her left leg. She sat like a Queen who owned the world.

Amelia didn't know why but she felt her heart was beating loudly in her ribcage.

She started giving her presentation despite the warning bells in her mind. Two minutes passed barely but Edward sharpened his tongue to slay the enemy.

”Ms. Parkinson's, Don't you think that addition of the pagoda doesn't belong to our country? But instead, it belonged to one of the southern countries. May I know why you are involving it in the project?” Edward asked.

In Eleanor's presentation, she mentioned this pagoda too. But she gave an answer that shut the mouths of others. If Amelia was stupid, she wouldn't have listened to the presentation. If she was smart, she would have listened to Eleanor's earlier presentation.

Amelia glared at Edward when she heard his question.

”Mr. Callan, it's not a real pagoda. We are just displaying the duplicate of the original construction,” Amelia said with a smile swallowing the belly full of anger.

”I know! I can understand that. You have to explain to us why you are including that in the plan,” Edward said.

Cedric didn't care about Amelia, he just looked at the queen of his heart. He was openly gazing at her with eyes filled with hearts, which annoyed Eleanor a bit. But when she saw the envious gaze of Amelia and her jealousy satisfied Eleanor.

”It's a part of our history,” Amelia said with a nervous smile.

”How?” Edward asked.

”If you want to support that b***h Eleanor! Do it openly! Why do you need to beat around the bush?” Amelia said.

She couldn't control her temper.

Eleanor couldn't understand how Amelia couldn't stand a simple provocation. She used to be controlling and she was known for her good temper. But anyway… It's not her problem.

”Is that so?” Edward said.

”Looks like Ms. Parkinson doesn't know how to use her tongue. And she even forgot the place where she was standing,” Cedric said, lifting his head to her showing a disgusted expression at her.
