Chapter 12 The matter of cooperation was not only Priscilla's excuse , but also Marshall's . For reasons he couldn't quite explain , he simply wanted to see Priscilla . He hadn't been sleeping well lately ; Priscilla's figure lingered in his mind and refused to leave . After all , the two of them had been married for three years . Even if his intentions in marrying her were not pure at first , over time , some feelings had inevitably developed between them . Priscilla's sudden departure still left him feeling somewhat unsettled . This was the first time Marshall had ever felt this way , Three years ago , when Larissa went abroad , all he felt was anger . But now , he felt an emptiness inside , as if something was missing , though he couldn't quite put it into words . Priscilla cleared her throat lightly and said , " As for the cooperation , Wonder Group hasn't found a suitable project yet , but we are interested . If there's an opportunity , I'll reach out to Mr. Burton " Seeing Priscilla's evasive response , Marshall wasn't angry ; instead , he found it amusing . He exchanged a glance with his secretary , Kelvin Dodson , who then took a document from his briefcase and placed it on the table in front of them . " I've brought Ms. Langstaff a great project . I wonder if Ms. Langstaff 0.00 % 288 Vouchers Chapter 12 would be interested . " Priscilla opened the file and saw that it was a development project for a plot of land in the west of the city . This land had just been released by the government , and various public projects like schools and hospitals were being launched in the surrounding area . In the future , this place would become a new economic zone . Many people had been eyeing this land , but to her surprise , Marshall had managed to secure it . " With such a good project , why does Mr. Burton want to work with me ? " Priscilla asked bluntly . With the strength of Apex Group , they could easily take on the project alone . Priscilla didn't believe Marshall was so generous as to share the profits with her . Besides , their relationship was not one where either would think of the other when something good came along . So Marshall's initiative to approach her couldn't be that simple . Marshall lowered his head with a slight smile , then looked up to meet Priscilla's eyes . " Given our relationship , isn't it natural for us to work together on a good project ? " " There is nothing between us . There was a barely noticeable hint of panic in Priscilla's words . The two of them had been pretending not to know and exchanging polite pleasantries for quite some time , but now that Marshall had laid the facts bare , Priscilla felt a bit uncomfortable . 30 20 % Chapter 12 H238 Wouchers Moreover , the way Marshall was looking at her was strange , making her feel uneasy . All she wanted now was to get rid of Marshall as quickly as possible . Noticing Priscilla's discomfort , Marshall changed the subject . " I'm sure Ms. Langstaff knows that many people have their eyes on this land . Now that it's in my hands , there will naturally be those who are dissatisfied .

In the business world , when many people are watching you and you become the center of attention , no matter how strong you are , it's hard to avoid being targeted .
