BXBX NOVEL Chapter Chapter 99: What Does the Project Have to Do with Elizabeth?
It was Peter from the Fortune Law Group. The entire Surge Real Estate office was abuzz. No one had heard that President Berney would be visiting! Peter walked straight up to Ray with a professional smile, "Mr. Wilson, is the contract signed?" Ray, having weathered many storms in his career, remained unfazed by the younger man\'s imposing aura.
"Of course, I look forward to our collaboration." Peter seemed relieved, "That\'s good to hear. Now I can explain things to Elizabeth." "Elizabeth?" Ray was puzzled. "Why would President Berney mention her? What does the project have to do with Elizabeth?" Peter chuckled, "Well, I met Elizabeth at a dinner at your home and took quite a liking to her..." Ray narrowed his eyes. Peter hurriedly explained, "Don\'t get me wrong! I don\'t harbor any romantic feelings for her. I simply see her as an elder, which is why we exchanged contact details." Oh boy, he wouldn\'t dare have ulterior motives for Professor Lawrence, right? But it\'s inevitable that he\'d be seen with Elizabeth. Rather than being misunderstood later, it\'s better to clarify things from the get-go. Given Professor Lawrence\'s age, it was more fitting for him to refer to her as an elder. He certainly couldn\'t tell people, "She\'s like my mom." Ever since Elizabeth took Peter in from the streets, he had always seen her as a maternal figure. Ray felt slightly reassured, "So, what does this have to do with Elizabeth?" Under Ray\'s puzzled gaze, Peter calmly explained, "It was Elizabeth who called me, suggesting I consider awarding the project to the Wilson family." Ray\'s expression changed instantly, and he quickly turned to Emilio, asking, "Did your son ever mention the project to you?"
