Chapter 47 How about Him?
Darcy’s face turned red. Over the past few days, she had given Everet a lot of “massages”.
Hellen raised her eyebrows slightly. Just as she was about to continue asking, the door of the ward was opened.
Someone arrived uninvited, and it was at this time of the night. And he still hadn’t knocked on the door and directly entered. Hellen frowned as she looked.
“Oh, what a rare guest.” Everet lay on the bed, giggling casually.
Eddie placed a small food carrier on the table and said, “My parents said that I have a good relationship with you, so I must visit you when you are sick. After all, you are the president of The Jovano Group. I must communicate with you and promote our friendship.”
His words were direct, causing Hellen to laugh at the side. “Did your parents ask you to pass on the words directly?”
Eddie shrugged. “It doesn’t matter. I knew him because of this.”
Hellen’s interest was piqued. After she inquired further, she quickly found out about Everet and Eddie’s past.
Eddie’s parents loved his younger brother but didn’t like him. So he was used to marry with someone to maintain a good relationship with the big families in Tempe City.
To put it bluntly, he was just a communication boy.
Back when he was still a good boy, he listened to his parents to deliberately approach Everet for her identity as the heir of the Jovano family.
“At that time, I had another task. They said that after getting along well with your brother, I should try to contact the Miss of the Jovano family.”
As Eddie spoke, he held his chin and looked at Hellen with an ambiguous smile. “After all, everyone in Tempe City knows that you are the favorite of the Jovano family. My parents wanted me to marry you at that time.”
“Don’t they want to do it now?” Darcy fanned the flames.
Hellen glared at her. “Darcy!”
Eddie was gorgeous, and he was sexy when he smiled. He looked at Hellen and said, “They do, but I don’t have the chance.”
Hellen nodded with certainty, “It’s good that you know.”
In the bed, Everet looked Eddie and Hellen up and down and fell into deep thought.
After chatting for a while, they talked about the renovation of the Weststadt District. The Levi Group also intended to participate in this project.
Eddie had just taken over The Levi Group, so he needed some merits to convince the masses.
Hellen laughed, then shook her head. “You won’t have any opportunities. I will participate too.”
She was very clear about Eddie’s current situation. Even if she gave him the project, he would not succeed.
His parents and all his relatives in The Levi Group were not easy to deal with. How could it be so simple?
As Hellen spoke, she looked at Darcy. “Your family isn’t interested?”
Darcy shook her head. “My father said that both the Grant family and you will bid this time, so it’s unlikely that we could win. Thus we don’t want to spend so much effort.”
After chatting for a while, Eddie stood up and prepared to leave. “Missy, shall we go together? I’ll send you home.”
“No need, Mike will send me later.”
Eddie knew Mike and he left with regret.
As soon as he left, Everet immediately sent Darcy out as well.
Only Everet and Hellen were left in the ward.
Everet was solemn. “Hellen, I just thought of something important for you.”
“What is it?”
“Didn’t you want to find a fake father for your baby?”
“Yes.”
“How is Eddie?”
Hellen felt as if she was choked and burst into laughter. “Everet, what are you thinking about, Eddie?”
“Yes, there are also rumors between you. Besides, don’t you intend to delay the birth of the child by a month? The time is also right. Everyone’s doubts will be reduced a lot!”
Hellen’s expression changed slightly. “No, Eddie is the only son of the Levi family and the president of The Levi Group. Even if he’s willing to do this, his parents won’t!”
Who would be able to accept that their only son would fake marriage and accept someone else’s son as his child?
Rich and powerful families cared more about their offspring. There were too many implications.
Everet, however, insisted. “Listen to me. Don’t worry. I’ll discuss this with Eddie. He’ll agree.”
Previously, Everet was afraid that Eddie would hurt his sister. But after thinking about it, since he decided to find a fake father for his future niece, it was better to find a friend than a stranger. He could supervise him as well.
“Eddie might be a well-known playboy, but he’s not a bad person. It can also make me assured.” Everet tried to persuade her.
Hellen frowned. “Enough. I won’t agree.”
If Eddie had no interest in her, she might have considered it. However, Eddie saw her as his prey. She did not want to have too much relationship with him.
Everet still wanted to say something, but Hellen had already stood up.
“All right, Darcy is coming back soon. I’m leaving now.”
Everet grew frantic. “Hellen, he really is the best choice.”
“Go to bed early. Don’t stay up late. It won’t be good for your leg’s recovery.” Hellen walked to the door and said with a grin.
Everet paled. “You didn’t check my pulse?”
Hellen laughed eerily. “Just now, when I was sitting with Darcy, I took her pulse. It is a bit weak.”
Everet gritted his teeth because his sister had known that. He frowned and said, “Leave quickly! Don’t let Darcy hear this!”
Otherwise, it would be troublesome for Darcy to lose her temper in shame!

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the bidding. Hellen had placed great importance on it, so she would go to the scene personally.
When Hellen and the representatives of the company arrived at the official scene, people from other companies also arrived one after another. They all sat down in their respective seats.
The bidding was scheduled to go on for three rounds, and more than half of the companies would be eliminated in the first round.
Recently, Hellen had clearly felt that she vomited frequently every day, and her waist was slightly bulging. But when she wore loose clothes, others couldn’t tell.
She sat in the seat of The Jovano Group, surrounded by several executives.
Another burst of whispers came from the venue. Hellen looked up and saw Hans walking in.
The man was tall and indifferent. He still had apathy.
The seats of the Grant Group and Jovano Group were next to each other. Hans walked to one side. When he saw Hellen, he nodded at her.
Here, everyone was each other’s competitor. Hellen also nodded in acknowledgment.
A large group of companies had been eliminated at the beginning. Out-of-town ones had the same suffering as well because they did not understand Tempe City well enough and did not have deeper feelings than the local ones.
At the beginning of the second round, there were only seven or eight companies left.
Among them were The Jovano Group, The Grant Group, and The Levi Group.
The representatives of these groups came forward, took out the design plan, and explained it to the person in charge.
At this time, everyone could hear it.
Hellen’s way was more human-like. She focused on rebuilding, keeping the semi-ancient charm of the Weststadt District. But Hans took a long-term view and suggested more about building hospitals and cultural education facilities.
It was apparent that the person in charge found it hard to make a decision. They’d been completely engrossed in both of the plans.
