I Cancel the Engagement and Level Way Up 51
Chapter 51
There was a hint of resolve in Vivian’s eyes as she said, “This project isn’t just promising. It will also shape Baymoor’s future development.
“I’ve studied Baymoor’s growth over the past years, as well as its urban planning. Its economy has been stagnating for quite some time now. Someone is bound to want to carve out a new path once they’re in position, and the Halcyon Group’s project is destined to be noticed.”
As Kingston listened to her analysis, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He asked, “If the project is really that good, why aren’t you having your sister invest in it?”
It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered letting the Hartwell Group take it on.
But the situation in the Hartwell Group was complicated, beset by internal strife and external
were weighing it down.
Vivian replied, “Because the Hartwell Group can’t keep moving forward under so much weight. It needs to shed its burdens and lighten its load.”
pressure. It was burdened with many nearly worthless liabilities t
There was a flicker in Kingston’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
She had left the Hartwell family in her late teens, yet she could already pinpoint the Hartwell Group’s core problems so precisely. No wonder she had been able to build the Whitfield Group to its current scale without any backing.
Kingston said, “So, what do you want me to do?”
Vivian answered with firm resolve, “Compete and fight for it. Secure a position for the Howard Group’s branch in Baymoor as the leading enterprise. After all, outstanding people naturally attract competition. Good projects are no different.”
Kingston looked at her silently, and there was something deep and unreadable in his eyes.
Under his gaze, Vivian’s heart began to race.
After all, claiming that the Howard Group’s branch could become Baymoor’s leading enterprise did carry a touch of exaggeration.
After a long silence, Vivian clearly heard Kingston’s final decision.
“Alright, then let’s compete.”
His interest was piqued, and Vivian felt a surge of joy.

Chapter 51
Kingston withdrew his gaze, stood up, and headed for the door.
Vivian hurried after him.
Another car was already waiting for them at the elevator entrance.
Just as Vivian was about to mention that her phone was still in the previous car, the driver thoughtfully handed it to her.
“Thank you,” she said.
After thanking him, Vivian checked her phone.
Missed calls nearly filled the entire screen.
She frowned unhappily as she calmly cleared the notifications. Then, she sent Stella a message to inform her that they were on their way. She also made sure to inform her that Kingston knew she had secretly contacted Logan.
Pulling such a move during negotiations was a major taboo.
Stella hadn’t expected Vivian to actually bring Kingston to the Halcyon Group’s project site.
The moment she saw Kingston and Vivian step out of the car, her insides twisted with regret.
The day before, when she had gone to see Logan, she’d been humiliated instead.
Not only that, he’d demanded even greater concessions on top of the profits they’d already agreed on. He clearly wanted to completely devour the Halcyon Group.
Vivian said, “Mr. Howard, this is the owner of the Halcyon Group, Ms. Stella Scott.”
Then, she continued, “Stella, this is Mr. Howard.”
Stella forced a smile and took the initiative to extend her hand. “Hello, Mr. Howard. It’s an honor to meet you.”
Kingston nodded slightly, but his expression was aloof. He didn’t even reach out to shake her hand. “Hello.”
The casual reply immediately made Stella nervous, and she looked to Vivian for help.
Vivian stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over. “Stella, show Mr. Howard the project progress. We can talk about the contract afterward.”
Stella nodded repeatedly and hurried to invite Kingston into the project department.
She arranged for staff to give Kingston a detailed briefing on the project’s progress, metrics,

and specifics. She did her best to show her full sincerity.
Kingston didn’t deliberate long before signing the contract Stella had prepared.
Initially, Stella had assumed that he wouldn’t use their draft contract at all.
As he signed, Kingston glanced sideways at Vivian.
He said calmly, “At this level, does it really count as competition?”
Vivian smiled awkwardly and replied with polite flattery, “Mr. Howard, once you make a move, who would dare compete with you?”
Kingston looked at her meaningfully. “Is that so?”
