Chapter 444

Success was not a linear line. It seemed like Zeke was on his way downhill.

Hadley, the only one who knew the truth, was unconcerned with the discussions.

Her eyes were fixed on the entrance.

The moment Lacey appeared; Hadley’s eyes widened as she stared lustfully at Lacey’s chest.

“Tsk. How much milk did she drink to make her breasts that big? If I squeeze them, I’m sure there’ll leak. I heard Zeke hasn’t laid a finger on Lacey yet. Guess I’ll get to be the first one.”

Not long after Lacey came, Evan arrived.

As the construction party and the organizers were both present, the opening ceremony officially started.

The host spoke into the microphone, “Quiet. Everyone, be quiet.”

In an instant, the boisterous crowd fell silent.

The host said, “The opening ceremony for Love in a Fallen City officially begins.”

A thunderous applause erupted in the hall.

The host continued, “Love in a Fallen City is the first and only hall that can hold ten thousand people. I won’t go into detail about the story of the building. I’m sure everyone knows it better than I do. Now, let us welcome the organizer of this project, Mr. Evan Schneider, to give his speech.”

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The applause sounded inside the hall again.

Most of the audience had collaborated with Evan in the past, and they were here because of him.

Hence, the applause they gave to him was enthusiastic.

Evan took the microphone and smiled.

“I don’t feel that I’m not worthy of giving my speech first. In this project, I’m just the organizer. On the other hand, as the constructor, Linton Group was involved from the drafting of blueprints until the end of the construction. The opening speech should be given to the Linton Group. They’re the one who’s best fitted as the first speaker. Let’s put our hands together and welcome the CEO of Linton Group, Ms.

Lacey Hinton, to give us a few words.”

The crowd applauded in support.

For a moment, Lacey was stunned.

Evan’s words were meant to praise the Linton Group.

Moreover, he gave her the chance to be the first speaker. It was an honor for her.

Lacey was a little embarrassed to accept it.

She hurriedly said, “Mr. Schneider. It isn’t appropriate for me to be the first speaker. Please give your speech first.”

Evan laughed, “Ms. Hinton, there’s no need to stand on ceremony with me. Mr. Williams is my savior. It doesn’t matter if I hand over the entire project to you, not to mention the role of the first speaker.

Moreover, I haven’t followed the entire process of this project. My understanding of it will not be as well as yours. I’ve nothing much to say.”

Lacey fell silent.

Zeke again.

Without me knowing it, he’s already in all parts of my life.

The host called out, “Ms. Hinton, please introduce the project. The Linton Group has been handling everything, from minor details to major decisions. No one will give a better speech than you for the project.”

If she kept rejecting them, it would be impolite.

“Okay. On behalf of Mr. Schneider, let me introduce to you this project. There are a total of 78 companies and 1089 front-line workers who participated in this four-month-long construction. Love in a Fallen City is the first grand hall in Oakheart City, and it’s also Rivermouth’s second grand hall. We can’t say that we’re the biggest in Rivermouth, but the quality of our hall is the best.”

Lacey had long since memorized the speech. The words left her lips smoothly, and it won the crowd’s cheers.

Just then, the door of the hall was suddenly kicked open.

In the next second, a group of people rushed in.
