Chapter 257: Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Pass Through “I thought of someone!” Hulda squatted beside David, saying mysteriously, “He has received many benefits from Ivan and will save him.”

David’s eyes lit up, “Who’s he?”

Hulda said, “It’s Henry who took over Miller Group. And Ivan helped him a lot with that. He owes Ivan a lot and will do us a favor.”

When David heard it was Henry, he was happy for a few seconds but then got upset, “But even if he is willing to help, he can’t take 14 million. After all, he is still in the initial stage, and many projects need money. He won’t give everything to help us.”

Hulda thought about it for a while, sent a message, and soon got a reply. She felt the phone vibrate, but she let out a cheer of surprise after a few minutes, as if she had just received it.

“Someone wanted to buy the houses for sale, but he will buy them alone and want a better price!”

David stopped smiling and frowned, “Better price?! Those houses are already the lowest price. We’ll lose if we make it lower.”

“We have no choice, and this is the moment. You’ve seen everyone else won’t help us, and we can only rely on ourselves. We’ll get almost two–thirds of the money if we sell those houses. If Henry helps us, we’ll collect all the money to pay the taxes.”

Hulda analyzed the situation and added, “President Smith and Ivan have been taken to the police station and are under strict surveillance. Our people couldn’t get any information, and we don’t know if they are suffering...”

David agreed immediately, “Okay, we sell!”

Hulda sneered. That was her intention.

Arriving at the agreed place, David saw the buyer. He was like an honest middle–aged man and had an average look. David hadn’t thought of such a person in Jadney City for long.

He smiled at David and Hulda and said, “My master is busy with work, and let me take care of the house affairs!”

The buyer didn’t show up?! David doubted there was some conspiracy. Smith Group had tricked them many times, so he was suspicious of everyone.

Was he from Smith Group?

“David?” Hulda tugged at his sleeve and pulled him out of the memories, “What’s wrong?”

“Sorry. Wait a minute!” David smiled at the middle–aged man and pulled Hulda to the side. He whispered to her seriously, “Do you know where he comes from? I think he’s Smith Group’s man!”

Hulda’s heart skipped a beat, and she thought she got caught. But seeing David’s emotionless face, she quickly restrained her mind, “I stayed with Alston for a while and haven’t seen him. Have you seen him in the Smith family?”

David froze for a moment and replied, “No!”

David had been with Clare for a long time, often in and out of the Smith’s house and Smith Group. But he had never seen him.

“Even you haven’t seen him. So he couldn’t come from Smith Group. Smith Group’s men would come to insult us instead of sending a new man over.”

David was relieved to hear that, “Maybe I overthought. Let’s go over and sign!”

When David and Hulda came over, the middle–aged man still stood there with the same posture and a gentle smile. It could tell he was well–mannered and was a housekeeper from a big family.

As if he knew David’s concerns, he smiled, “Have you considered it? If you haven’t, I will come after you think it through.

However, I have to accompany my master to go abroad this afternoon. I’m afraid we’ll come back in three days.”

Upon hearing this, David quickly said, “Okay. We’ll sell!”

David went to go through the formalities. Hulda finished signing some contracts and gave them to David, “Now you!”

David responded and took the pen. He carefully read the contracts before signing. The middle–aged man winked at Hulda quietly, and they smiled.

“By the way, David. This house...” The middle–aged man took the signed contracts and told David about the house’s defects. David was afraid he would go back on his word, so he explained and signed.

Hulda took the opportunity to put a piece of paper on the unsigned contract, looked at David without reading it, and signed it directly.

After signing, Hulda was relieved and gave the middle–aged man a thumbs up.

Then the man stopped asking questions and left without hesitation after making the sale.

Looking at the 12 million on the account, David was joyful and said to Hulda, “We need another two million.

Let’s go to Henry.”

“Okay!”

It was morning then. The video of Clare and Ivan being taken into the police car had gone viral on the Internet. The public relations department of Tansy Group couldn’t stop it at all.

The morning news also kept broadcasting it.

At the airport, Beau and Gigi went to get the boarding pass. Looking at Clare and Ivan who were being taken into the car on the news, Alston frowned, feeling sharp pains in his head.

It was a pity that Alston and Cynthia passed each other by one second.
