An hour passed, and finally the most exciting moment of the evening came.
The host went on stage again and looked at the audience. He cheerfully said, "Should I now announce the winner of the Future Project?"
His question took everyone's breath away, and all the people were listening to what the host had to say.
He loudly and clearly announced, "The final winner of the Future Project is the JS Group!"
After that moment, all hearts settled down.
This announcement was applauded by the audience, but some of them were disappointed at the result and even angry.
Selina gave Jackson a big smile, and so did Derek, not to mention that Jackson's grin was from ear to ear.
However, Cherry paid no attention to the three people sitting around her, and when she turned her head to look at Stephen, her eyes met with his. She saw the despair and hopelessness in them, and she remembered what he said to her earlier that he had put everything that he had in the Future Project.
Cherry wasn't prepared for what was about to occur next.
With a big smile on his face, the host said, "Let's welcome now Selina Lu, the CEO of the JS Group, to come onstage and say a few words."
With a burst of applause, Selina went on the stage and shook hands with the host. She took the microphone from him, and with a big smile on her face she proudly addressed the audience in front of her.
"Thank you for supporting the JS Group. I very much appreciate both the committee's and government's approval to our company's efforts. I always believe that the Future Project belongs to the JS Group, as well as to every citizen resident in this city. Let's make a joint effort and make our city a better one!"
After she said this, thunderous applauses were heard, mingled
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...
o that he could be destroyed completely.
"Let him off?" asked Jackson. He looked Cherry in the eyes, and added, "Why do you think that you can bargain with me?"
"Why do you want to do this? Why do you want him dead?" asked Cherry furiously.
Without any sort of hesitation, Jackson answered her, "Because he helped you run away five years ago. Did you really think that I wouldn't find out that he was the one that helped you run away from me?"
Cherry had guessed it all; it seemed that Jackson had indeed known everything.
"So that's why in the past five years you've been making trouble for him? That's why you've been making his life miserable?" asked Cherry.
"Yes, that's why, " confessed Jackson. He then continued, "Whoever dares to oppose me will end up dead."
Cherry then looked into Jackson eyes, and said, "Am I going to be dead?"
Jackson couldn't control his anger anymore, and as he stared back at her, he answered, "Yes, sooner or later you'll also be dead."
When she heard him, Cherry lost all of her words. She couldn't believe what Jackson said to her. She thought that maybe he was right, and that one day she would also die by his hand.
