Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 972

Prospectus Technology's folder was damaged, its seal clearly tampered with.

According to the rules, any bidding documents that were not properly sealed would be automatically voided.

Gasps rippled through the room.

"How did this happen? Did Prospectus Technology really submit an unsealed bid? That's a rookie mistake for a company like them. Surely their team knows better."

"Or maybe they were trying to cheat—peek at the lowest bids and adjust theirs. Looks like they botched it."

"Whatever the reason, it's against the rules. Prospectus Technology is definitely out of the running now."

"This is great news! With Prospectus Technology out, our chances of winning just went up."

The crowd's murmurs ranged from confusion to gloating.

Onstage, Waylon followed protocol and addressed the room. "Ladies and gentlemen, the bid submitted by Prospectus Technology has been found improperly sealed. As per the regulations, the submission is disqualified.

"If Prospectus Technology wishes to contest this decision, they may do so after the session concludes. For now, we will continue with the process."

All eyes turned to Prospectus Technology's representatives. Some were confused, some smug, and others gloating. But the happiest of all was Jane.

The inability to participate in this bidding meant that months of hard work from Prospectus Technology had been for nothing.
