Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Piers Group’s Bidding Failure

Abigail Green originally just intended to shove it into the drawer. After seeing the message, she threw it into the trash can, but after a few minutes, she picked it up again and shoved it back into the drawer. A while later, after she finished her shower and came out, she thought about it and took it out again.

If she remembered correctly, the last time Sophie Hope took her to the underground casino, their cell phones had no signal. They relied on this wristwatch for communication.

Just in case, Abigail still put the watch on her wrist and began to figure out how to use it.

The moment she put on the wristwatch, Brandon Piers received her location. He smiled slightly. He knew his little darling still had feelings for him.

He just touched the corner of his mouth where he was hurt...

He sighed lightly and asked Hughes to let Abigail know she didn’t need to wait for him tonight.

Wearing the mechanical watch, Abigail first had breakfast with Teddy and Aunt Claudia. Then, she asked Hughes to take her to the research lab.

Listening to Hughes’ message on the way, she laughed out of anger.

This dog of a man thought he was the emperor, and she was a concubine, not needing to wait for him? When had she ever waited for him?

Once at the research lab, Abigail shook off those indignant feelings and dove into the sea of medical research.

She genuinely started living a life where she only focused on her research, paying no attention to the outside world.

Brandon Piers was also not idle like a spinning top. He spent most of his time rushing around dealing with various affairs.

Headmaster Theodore had shown the researchers on Abigail’s project recordings of her previous surgeries. Combined with her professional demeanor from the first day, she quickly meshed well with the other three team members.

Over the next month, Abigail proved her capabilities through her actions. She truly had enough skills to participate in the research.

Time flew while they were busy. Through the teammates’ cooperation and Abigail’s efforts, they finally found a breakthrough and made a qualitative leap in their research.

In half a month, they would be flying to the M Kingdom to participate in the competition.

Abigail rarely left the lab and asked Hughes to take her home.

For the past month, Abigail had spent most of her time in the lab, only spending time with Teddy in the mornings and being busy the rest of the time.

Now that there was a major breakthrough in the research, her tensed nerves relaxed significantly. After returning home, she played with Teddy first. Once the little guy fell asleep, she lay down herself.

When you’re busy, you don’t feel it, but once you relax, you think about many things. Seeing the empty space beside her, she realized that since Hughes conveyed the message, Brandon Piers hadn’t appeared in a month. She couldn’t help but frown, and upon opening the news app on her phone, she saw the headline: "Piers Group narrowly loses bid for East City land to Evergrowing, will the pharmaceutical leader relinquish its position?"

Abigail was stunned. He failed?

Abigail knew the importance of that piece of land in East City to Brandon Piers and knew he was determined to get it. How did he fail?

Upon clicking to read more, she saw that Evergrowing Pharmaceuticals had won the land for a staggering 3 billion, initially bidding at just 500 million, an increase by six times.

Six times might not sound like a lot, but when the unit is in billions, it is terrifying.

Evergrowing was out to break Piers Group.

Abigail couldn’t help but open Brandon Piers’ Facebook. Their chat history still remained at her last hospital stay, making her feel disheartened. She realized she didn’t know what to say to the man.

Comfort him? It seemed to imply he had lost.

Encourage him? Their current relationship was awkward.

Hesitating for a while, Abigail simply exited Facebook, opened the school forum, and found that the students at the medical university were hotly discussing the engagement between Brandon Piers and Bertha Swift next month.

Abigail was stunned again. Had they set the engagement date?

After flipping through the post for a while, Abigail read in a fury. Brandon Piers and Bertha Swift’s engagement date was set for July 21, her birthday.

It was too much!

Already somewhat worried about Piers Group, Abigail became thoroughly angry, thankful she didn’t take the initiative to talk to the man earlier. Otherwise, it would have been a humiliation.

No wonder he didn’t dare to come to her anymore. It turned out the engagement date was already set.

Disgusting.

Having been exhausted from playing with Teddy for two hours after a busy month, Abigail was now too stimulated by this news to sleep.

She skimmed through all the recent news about Piers Group and Brandon Piers. Unlike last time, this time the official Twitter didn’t make a direct announcement, but all media reports about the engagement added "rumor" at the front.

Yet the online discussions were in full swing, and neither Brandon Piers nor Bertha Swift denied it. So the rumors were probably true.

Abigail felt awful, her mood filled with gloom.

She wanted to question Brandon Piers but, considering their current relationship, she had moved out of Moon Lake Manor. In what capacity could she ask? She tossed and turned, not sending the message, ending up with a headache from being so worried.

Brandon Piers was not in another place but in Hughes’ room, only a few minutes from Abigail, yet he didn’t dare to step into her villa. His eyes were fixed on various surveillance screens.

He couldn’t see inside the bedroom, but from the camera outside the window, he could see the dim bedside lamp shining. Occasionally, the wind blew the curtains, letting him glimpse her tossing and turning silhouette. It wasn’t clear, but enough for Brandon to gauge her current state.

Lately, Abigail slept immediately once she hit the bed, but tonight was quite different. He guessed she must have seen the news from the past few days.

Thinking of this, Brandon glanced down at the pinned page in his Facebook; there was no activity.

He felt a bit disappointed that she didn’t ask him but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second Young Master, if you’re not going over, can I go to sleep?" Hughes felt complicated about his new boss, Brandon Piers.

He respected him, but because of Abigail, he also disliked him.

These mixed feelings made him uncomfortable around Brandon.

"Abigail’s going abroad for the competition in half a month. Please take good care of her." Brandon didn’t look back at Hughes, but his voice carried weight.

"Don’t worry. I know what to do." Hughes didn’t like Brandon’s tonality, as if Abigail was his possession.

But knowing Second Young Master wasn’t in a good mood, Hughes held back his annoyance.

"Okay." Brandon nodded, his eyes returning to the screens.

Hughes felt irritated by him. "Why don’t you explain things to Abigail?"

Brandon didn’t respond. The outcome of this situation was still uncertain, and explaining things to Abigail now wouldn’t matter much. In fact, saying too much could lead to worse misunderstandings.

Last time, Benjamin Jones intervened, making him cautious of taking any chances.

"Create a small program to monitor online activity. Gradually delete or edit the posts about my engagement with Bertha Swift, not too quickly to avoid suspicion. I’ll send you my guidance on how to modify the posts." Brandon directly ignored Hughes’ question, gave his instructions, and stared at the screen a bit longer before quietly leaving Rose Valley.

Returning to Moon Lake Manor, Brandon saw Adam Piers looking dejected. Before even getting close, he could smell the alcohol on him and frowned as he avoided him.

Seeing this, Adam’s fragile feelings shattered.
