At the dinner table, they even cared about Brittany's health but didn't pry too much.
When it was time to leave, Brittany showed her gratitude to the couple and handed over the gift she had prepared for them before leaving.
Kemp didn't expect Brittany to be so thoughtful, and his admiration for her grew a bit.
For the next few days, Brittany waited for news with bated breath.
On the day of the bidding, Brittany led her team to the event, with Jason brimming with confidence.
"Ms. Dustin, I heard Jason has been hanging around Mr. Wilson's place recently," the secretary whispered. "He's even been bragging that the land's practically his already."
"I got it."
Brittany saw Jason's smug face and sat down. Her team leader was all set for the bid.
Before the bidding started, Jason shot Brittany a provocative glance.
Brittany's gaze dropped slightly as her fingers flew over her screen. Then, Wesley's call came in.
She picked it up.
"Mr. Tueley."
"Jason's been having an affair and even has an illegitimate child. The news will break in an hour. Grab the opportunity and get that land."
Wesley's call gave Brittany a final layer of protection.
"All right."
The official bidding began, with over a dozen companies taking turns to present their proposals.
Jason was the most experienced among all the bidders.
Whereas the Dustin Group had the least experience.
Jason's advantage was clear.
Brittany sat in the audience, a smile playing on her lips as she watched Jason's helpless state.
Just as expected, the land ended up in Brittany's hands.
Not only did Jason not get the land, but he also became the laughing stock, storming out in a huff.
Before leaving, he glared at Brittany. "You'll see!"
Brittany remained expressionless. After all, it wasn't her who made Jason cheat. Why should she get the blame?
The news of Jason's affair and illegitimate child went public.
The Field family's stocks plummeted, and Mrs. Field slapped Jason hard. "Jason, I've given everything to the Field family since we got married, and you betray me? You'll pay for this!"
Jason, already upset about losing the land and now being slapped, retaliated by slapping Mrs. Field back.
"Shut up! You haven't given me a son, and you can't anymore! I'll find someone who can. If you still want to be Mrs. Field, behave. Or else I'll divorce you!"
