Chapter 70

Neil, still visibly sullen, seemed to have lessened his guilt toward his wife. Maja had no interest in

engaging with him any further. “He didn’t do anything wrong.” Neil’s face turned gloomy again, he

looked like he wanted to say something, but he just chose to keep his mouth shut, looking at his

daughter with disappointment. Maja and the staff quickly got into the car, paying no attention to the

curious onlookers. The staff driving in front noticed her upset face, and started to change the subject.

“This area is really nice, and all the facilities around are top-notch. You can reach the underground mall

in three minutes on foot. The schools from elementary to high school are excellent. But I’ve got even

better listings, although they might cost a bit more.”

At that moment, Maja had no energy to worry about the price. She didn’t want to compromise. If a

higher price meant finding a more suitable home, so be it.

Finally, the agent brought her to a mini-mansion district.

It earned its name due to its exorbitant house prices and a reputation for being a place where wealthy

individuals kept their mistresses.

Despite the gossip surrounding the area, Maja didn’t care and instantly fell in love with the community’s

ambiance.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, this house is priced at 1.4 million. The owner has spent 700k on decoration. They’re

in a rush to go abroad to care for their child, so they’re selling it at a cheap price. It’s a golden

opportunity.”

Maja inspected the decoration and found it to be to her liking. The house boasted a breathtaking view,

two units per floor, and this one was on the top of the five-story building. On the other side of the

shared area was another owner, reportedly a young girl.

Maja really liked this house Even knowing the agent might have exaggerated, she didn’t hesitate to

deposit a few million. The rest of the money would be paid after the apartment was

sold.

“Alright, once Ms. Pennyfeather has made the down payment, I’ll give you the keys directly.”

Maja and the agent quickly signed a contract, and then she headed back to Rosewood Manor.

As soon as she walked in, she noticed Maria anxiously preparing to leave, her face reflecting relief

upon seeing Maja’s return.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, Coco is missing.”

Maja’s heart tightened instantly, “How could she be missing?”

A look of guilt appeared on Maria’s face, “It’s all my fault. I was busy tidying up Coco’s room and didn’t

notice that she went to chase after your car. I checked the surveillance and found that she had followed

your car.”

Coco had chased cars before, but this morning, Maja was in a hurry to meet the staff, so she hadn’t

paid attention. she felt a profound sense of regret.

“T1I go look for her, don’t panic. If Coco comes back, call me.”

Maria was very anxious, but she was old. Even if she went out, she might struggle to distinguish Coco

from other dogs.

With no time to rest, Maja hopped back into her car and retraced the route she had taken in the

morning.

“Boss, this project was directly called in by the higher-ups to Holden. Since Holden has a military

background, it has become a government-provided plan. We can modify it at any time, and the

government will provide all the workforce. If the tourist area can be successfully developed, it will

significantly expand the Raymond Corporation into the tourism industry.” Jeff followed behind lan,

speaking respectfully.

lan halted and inquired, “Who else bid for this project ?”

“Besides Palmeras International Co. there are two other companies. However, Palmeras International

Co. invested 2 billion, surpassing the others for now.”

To what extent is the government willing to support?”

The top-level has clearly stated that if the tourist area can be built, then the government will provide the

land for all public activity places built by this company in the future.” The government providing land

meant saving billions of costs.

No wonder Palmeras International CO. was willing to bid high on a tourism development project in a

small county.

“Join me for an on-site inspection there tomorrow.”

Jeff nodded. As he was about to open the car door for lan, a white shadow suddenly appeared,

attempting to jump into the car.

It was a dog.

His face instantly changed because the boss was allergic to dog hair. Whose dog is this?
