Chapter 388
The atmosphere in the karaoke bar was electrifying, with intricately woven carpets and lights bursting with color.
In the soundproof VIP room on the top floor, Eileen could only hear the muted noise seeping through the half-open door.
Zola had to deliberately lower her voice as she approached Eileen, ensuring their conversation stayed confidential.
“Eileen, no matter what you say, you and Bryan have invested your hearts and souls in Apex Group. You wouldn’t want to see it crumble, right? This is the first project Apex Group has taken on since its revival. Surely, Freguson Group can afford to pass on this one. Could you please not get involved?”
No wonder Zola had to suppress her voice; her request was nothing short of shameless.
Eileen, standing by the door, let the opulent scene in the room reflect in her bright eyes.
“Ms. Murray, my presence here is for business, not charity. Please refrain from attempting to exploit me by bringing up the past. It only makes you look pitiable and ridiculous.”
She adjusted her attire, pushed Zola aside, and stepped into the room.
Raymond, without acknowledging Zola, followed Eileen inside.
From within, a chorus of flattering voices sang praises to Eileen.
Zola left the room, closed the door behind her, pondered for a moment, and then walked away.

Trenton had just exited the restroom and was washing his hands when a familiar figure appeared behind him. He smiled as soon as he saw her.
“Ms. Murray, why didn’t you stay in the room?”
“I want to know who exactly you’re planning to sell the club to?” Zola stood next to Trenton and asked bluntly.
She was so direct that Trenton froze. He looked at her reflection in the mirror for a while before composing himself.
He chuckled and pulled out a paper towel to dry his hands. “What are you talking about? The highest bidder wins. I don’t have a predetermined winner.”
“Are you telling me there’s no favorite?” Zola smiled slightly. “You must have chosen the Freguson Group. Out of everyone here today, they are the most capable of offering a high price. Ever since Eileen took charge, there’s nothing she hasn’t been able to get.”
“If that’s all the confidence you have, there’s no point in participating in today’s gathering.” Trenton tossed the paper towel into the trash and leaned against the sink, hands in his pockets.
