Chapter 174 The East Saeville Bidding
Nathaniel found himself in the VIP lounge of the exhibition center, having just attended the
preliminary bidding meeting organized by the municipal government. The official bidding was soon to
commence.
The primary bid of the day was for the East Saeville development project. Simply put, Nathaniel’s Technologent Group and Alexander’s Zeusforce Group had dispatched their respective teams to showcase their designs and compete in the bidding process.
The municipal government’s preference for a particular design would ultimately determine the winning team.
Initially, the municipal government had awarded the complete tender of the project to Nathaniel’s Technologent Group. However, that was merely a provisional approval. Now, the entire process had been overturned and restarted.
The Morgans and the Lloyds were not the only participants in the bidding. Other affluent and influential families were also present.
Freya, dressed in khaki–colored cashmere pants and a dark brown checkered wool sweater, sat quietly beside Nathaniel. Her hair was neatly tied into a ponytail.
As the manager of the design team, she was a significant figure to watch at the event.
The municipal government had set high standards for the East Saeville project designs. Renowned local and international designers were appointed to judge and evaluate the drafts, and their decision
would determine the winning team.
Freya and Nathaniel’s joint appearance at such a prestigious event had drawn considerable attention. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
These were the same two individuals who had caused significant scandals in Saeville three years prior. Furthermore, Freya’s past was well–known. Had the Gomez family not gone bankrupt three years ago, her father, Killian, would have been a key figure at today’s bidding event.
If Killian Gomez were present, the likes of Nathaniel Morgan, Alexander Lloyd, and others would have been relegated to the back row.
Freya had become a somewhat legendary” figure in Saeville since her release from prison.
Many people likely still possessed the scandalous video of her at Red Shift. It remained a topic of intrigue.
This woman had not only managed to recover from her prison ordeal but had also regained her former beauty. Her presence at this event exuded an aura of resilience, tranquility, and purity.
Nathaniel subtly furrowed his brows, feeling the weight of the speculative glances around him. He slowly raised his head, scanning the room.
The onlookers guiltily averted their gazes, no longer daring to stare at Freya.

in her hands, the electronic version of which had been submitted to the organizers.
Once the bidding began, the designs she and her team had developed would be displayed for all to see.
Despite their thorough preparation, Freya was still absorbed in reviewing her drafts. From Nathaniel’s perspective, he could only see her serene side profile.
The chandelier’s light bathed her face in a warm glow, enhancing her ethereal beauty.
It is often said that hardworking men are the most attractive, but Nathaniel would argue that hardworking women possess an equal level of allure.
He found himself unconsciously reaching out, wanting to caress her face.
Feeling something amiss, Freya turned to look at Nathaniel.
Caught fid–gesture, Nathaniel smoothly redirected his hand to her shoulder, giving her a reassuring
pat.
“Don’t be nervous. Bidding is one thing, economic strength is another. Just do your best, okay?”
Freya nodded, returning to her thoughts.
Nathaniel felt a twinge of embarrassment. However, his attention was soon drawn to a slight commotion at the VIP entrance. Alexander Lloyd and his team had arrived.
