###Chapter 516 Everything You Gain, You Will Lose More – Part 4

"Are you threatening me?"

"It can always be understood this way."

I smiled, but I was not angry. "It's better to follow you than to follow me throughout Blossom," I said. "You have the ability and strength to give her a better life and better environment to grow up, and I can live a better life by myself, even if I remarry, it would always be much better."

He stared at me motionless with black eyes, with a bit of coldness and indifference, and sneered at the anger on his face. "That was a very good calculation you have, Ivelle."

I smiled and said, "And thank you for the compliment, Mr. Astley."

Noticing his clenched fists, I thought that if I were a man, I would only be beaten by him at this time, and I couldn't help but rejoice that I was a woman.

"Then I'll wait and see if William Preston will let you into Preston's house." He was very angry, and if he hadn't restrained himself, he would have done it already.

I sighed slightly when I saw him leave. I really don't want to see him again after leaving, otherwise, I will really cut it back and forth.

The bidding time stayed up until the middle of the night. William Preston probably couldn't stay up late. He just got on the bus and just looked at me and said, "You drive later, I'll be there!"

I nodded, thinking that he had a hangover last night and probably didn't sleep well.

I drove back to the villa and woke up William Preston. I went back to my room and turned on my cell phone to see a picture of her baby sent by Frida Biden.

It has been four months, the white fat originally wanted to send a message in the past, thinking that it is too late, it will inevitably not disturb her rest.

Just turn off your cell phone and prepare to rest.

The next day.

It was originally thought that Astley's bid results would not come down until five or six days later, but I did not expect that the quarterly results would come out the next day.

To my surprise, Preston was chosen. William Preston gave me the planning plan and the whole operation process and said, "At present, you will be in charge of this project. Linda will assist you. If you have any questions, you can talk to her or me."

I haven't had much contact with this project, and it took only two days from knowing it to taking over.

Instead of reaching for it, I just looked at him and said, "You are very much aware that I am not familiar with this kind of project, and I didn't do the bidding at all. It's unfair to the person who made it, and I'm not sure I can do it."

Seeing that he didn't answer, he put the document on the table and said, "I did the bidding case. There is still some time to start this case. You can get familiar with it. Astley's side will send someone to communicate with you. What to do? You can discuss and then act. In addition, you can find Linda and she can deploy all Preston's current resources."

This person is determined to want me to do this project, continue to push it may not work, thought about it, I said, "When will it start?"

"Astley's people will contact you." After a pause, he said, "Astley has selected two companies in this bid, and the other is Noah Montgomery. In the later stage, you should try your best to get in touch with them as much as possible, increase the tacit understanding of cooperation, and achieve a win-win situation."

I nodded and sniffed as I began to sort out the papers, and said in the afternoon that I was going to see Grace Cross.

Seeing that he was leaving, I said, "I'm going to Grace Cross at noon. It may take me a while to come back."

He raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter?"

"She got into a fight and seemed to be hurt." I opened my mouth and explained briefly.

The corners of his mouth went up, but he looked a little happy. "Is she fighting with someone else? Acting as you really are?"

I pursed my lips and looked at him. "Would you also like to come and see her?"

He answered the question, "Because of what?"

"Because of men." Jordan is involved in the middle, which should be regarded as a man.

He raised his eyebrow. "Bring me a bunch of chrysanthemums and wish her good health."

Chrysanthemums?

This guy can really figure it out.

Ignoring him, I continued sorting out the papers, I left the company and took a taxi directly to the address Grace Cross gave me.

It's a little too far. I called her when I got off the car in the riverside garden in the northern city.

The phone rang for a while before she got through. "Ivelle, are you here?"

"I'm downstairs."

"Okay give me a minute!"

Five minutes later, she limped down, looking a little sloppy, her hair pulled up at random, and she was wearing pajamas.

When she opened the door, she looked at the ping-pong chrysanthemum in my hand and laughed so happy that she picked it up and said, "Oh! And how did you know I like chrysanthemums?"

Me?

I really don't know. If it wasn't for what William Preston said, let me take it, I don't know at all.

Looking at her happy look, I couldn't help saying, "Mr. William Preston asked me to give it to you. I didn't plan to buy it because I thought it was unlucky, but when I passed the florist, I saw this pink ping-pong chrysanthemum inside. I thought it was pretty, so I bought it."

She said, "Meticulously, the president of Preston is quite sensible. I casually mentioned it, and he will know. It seems that I have a good chance of marrying a diamond bachelor in the future."

After she went upstairs, her house was in a mess. I was a little speechless. "What happened here?"

She put the flowers in a vase, picked up the cluttered clothes on the sofa, put them back on the bed, looked at me, and said, "If this room is not a mess, then I can't sleep."

I was so confused.

Looked around, the house is not big, about 80 square meters, two rooms, and one living room, and there is a kitchenette.

"Do you live alone?" I asked casually.

She nodded and poured me a glass of water. "There was a little friend who lived with me before, but then she moved out when she found a boyfriend, and now I live alone."

As she said that, she squinted, looked at me, and said, "Why don't you move in with me and share the rent for me?"

"Yes! I'd love to." I nodded and continued, "But, can you tidy up your house? I think I'll break down if I live here in this situation."

She said with a smile, "If you move here, I will never make such a mess in the living room. I am really not in the mood to clean up alone. I live in space alone and have no smell of home."

"Then why don't you go home!" Obviously, there is no shortage of money, but it still looks like this.

She laughed twice and said, "Just want to be free outside. Everyone is an adult and needs a little private space once in a while."

I may not be able to understand her mind, shrugging my shoulders, "So how's your injury?" Watching her limp, I couldn't help but cast my eyes on her leg.

She sat next to me and said, "It's not a big deal, or I was wearing high heels when I was fighting with Rafaela Shannon. I just twisted it."

"So what would you like to eat later?" When she spoke, the doorbell rang, and she got up to answer the door.

Look at me and say, "Come on, let's eat out later."

It was a middle-aged woman who came into the room and seemed to be used to seeing the room in a mess. She said, "Miss Grace, I've come to clean the house for you."
