After Miranda finished speaking, she turned around and headed toward the entrance.

Clarence’s mind went blank. He raised his head and shouted sonorously, “Miranda Murphy!”

Miranda’s petite body shook, and she paused mid-stride.

As far as she was concerned, Clarence had never once yelled at her.

Over their three years of marriage, Clarence had always been subservient to her. He had not even raised his voice when speaking to her.

“Y-You…” Miranda turned her head around in surprise.

Clarence’s eyes were bloodshot. He said, “When have you ever looked into my eyes?

“I send you to work and pick you up from work.

“In your eyes, I know that I’m just a loser, a son-in-law married into your family.

“I’m nothing!

“But, as a man, I’ve my own dignity. I don’t mind if you misunderstand me. However, you should not look down upon me, nor belittle me!

“You want to file for a divorce, right?

“That is fine.

“But you have to give me one last chance. If I’m able to nail down the contract for the Sunshine District project and you still insist on divorcing me, I’ll say no more.

Clarence finished his words in one breath. Then, he breathed in and out heavily and nervously looked at Miranda.

Miranda froze. This was her first time seeing Clarence so worked up.

Miranda fell silent for two minutes. She struggled with herself for a while.

After all, Clarence was still her official husband. Over the past three years, he had been taking care of her.

Miranda was a soft-hearted person with a sharp tongue. Otherwise, she would not have enrolled Clarence in adult education classes.

“Alright.”

In the end, Miranda promised him. “I’ll find a way to gather the ten million dollars entrance fee. The bidding starts tomorrow. You don’t have the slightest knowledge about property development, so the chance is relatively low…

“You may go back first. I’ll take a trip down to my company.”

Miranda sounded cold. She shook her head and left the hall.

Miranda was already nowhere to be found the moment Clarence came out. Apparently, she had called a cab.

Clarence drove home. On the way, he called Emmett.

“Young Master.”

“Emmett, I want to go for a bid.” Clarence explained everything about the bid for the Sunshine District project to him.

After Emmett finished hearing his full story, he smiled faintly and said, “Young Master, this is just a piece of cake. Our company could even get our hands on Burj Dubai, the White House, Buckingham Palace, the Eiffel Tower, and so on and so forth, let alone a small place like Mediterranean City. I could get a complete proposal ready for the Sunshine District project within thirty minutes.”

“Good.” Clarence nodded.

After that, he hung up.

After half an hour, a document was delivered to Clarence’s mobile phone.

Occasionally, Miranda worked from home. So, her house was equipped with a computer and printer.

Clarence printed the documents for the bid using the printer at home.

“Young Master, don’t worry. The proposal is prepared by the world’s best property development team. The probability of a proposal better than this would be less than 0.001% in the world,” Emmett smiled as he explained.

“Thanks for your hard work, Emmett,” Clarence nodded in satisfaction.

“It’s my pleasure to offer my service to you and your family, Young Master.” Emmett was caught by surprise upon hearing his words.

Clarence casually chatted with him for a while before he hung up.

At nine o’clock in the evening, Miranda returned home.

“Dear, this is my proposal. Please take a look. The dishes are ready. They are kept warm in the pot. I’ll get them for you.” Clarence handed his proposal over to Miranda while handing her a pair of slippers.

Miranda cast a cold glance at Clarence. She did not even bother to take the proposal from him.

“Take the meal on your own. I’ve already had mine in the office.”

“Dear, my proposal…”

“What proposal are you talking about?! Clarence, you really didn’t have the slightest self-awareness, do you?! Do you have any knowledge about the property development industry? I’ve cracked my head in the office throughout the night and have not even come up with one! How long have you been at home since you came back? Could you really come up with a proposal?!” Miranda cast a cold glance at Clarence in disdain.

She did not even bother to give another look at Clarence’s proposal.

“Dear, listen to me…” Clarence was about to explain.

“Enough! You don’t have to explain anymore.” Miranda shook her hand impatiently.

She walked into the study room and sat down before the computer.

She switched on the computer.

“I’ve sought help from William and managed to borrow ten million dollars from him. Tomorrow, I’ll give it a try. You just follow me, and keep quiet by then.” Miranda plugged in the USB flash drive and began to work.

Clarence said, “Dear, you don’t have to borrow the money from William. I could fork out ten million dollars.”

Clarence only needed to say the word, and Emmett could easily bring ten million dollars over to them. Wasn’t that as simple as ABC?

“You could fork out the money? How are you going to come up with that money? Clarence, where did you get the money from?! I beg you, stop blowing hot air. I’ve truly had enough of all this!” Miranda turned her head around and glared at Clarence furiously. She nearly exploded.

“Do you know how stressed out I am now?

“I’ve had to borrow ten million dollars from others because of you!

“I’ve to burn the midnight oil to come up with the proposal for the bid because of your stubbornness!

“Clarence, could you please stop bothering me?! I beg you, please get as far away from me as possible…”

Clarence did not know what to say when he saw Miranda’s current state.

So, he took his bidding proposal, turned around, and walked out of the study room.

The moment Clarence stepped out of the study room, Miranda’s voice was heard. “Don’t bother me tonight. I’ll give my all to complete the bidding proposal. However, I do earnestly hope that you would keep your promise. If we lose in the bid, we’ll divorce!”
