Chapter 159

“We’re all family here, so there’s no need to say more. Please help me talk to Josie. Lethan spoke in at

gentle tone.

Now that Quinn wasn’t interfering anymore, he only wanted to reconcile with his family, but Josie had

never forgiven him.

Shania felt conflicted. “Hm, I’ll talk to her.”

In truth, Josie had long forgiven Lethan. She was keeping her distance from him to avoid involving him

in the business battle between her husband and Yuriel.

Although her husband seemed to have a good relationship with Yuriel, the two men were actually

sitting on a powder keg

It wouldn’t just be a simple business competition when the day came for them to tear each other apart.

Yuriel was sipping tea in his office at Evermore Properties. Several company executives were fawning

over him.

“Mr. Gust’s predictions are simply astounding! You actually foresaw Riverwatch District’s development

in advance!”

“Mr. Gust’s business acumen is beyond compare! We can’t even hope to match it!”

“If we could secure Riverwatch District’s entire market share, Evermore Properties would reign

supreme in the real estate industry in Riverland!”

Yuriel drank his tea, his face devoid of the expected joy.

When he received the news, he immediately contacted the Evermore Properties Real Estate branch in

Riverwatch District to acquire all the idle properties.

However, the message from the Riverwatch branch stated that there were no idle properties in the

entire district.

After inquiring with the branch manager, it was revealed that someone had bought all the idle

properties in Riverwatch District three days ago.

This meant someone had received news of Riverwatch District’s development plans three days in

advance.

Who could this person be?

The landline was ringing. Yuriel picked up the phone.

“Mr. Gust, it’s a young man named Carlislel”

“Carlisle?”

Yuriel furrowed his brows slightly. “Could it be Carlisle from Riverland University?”

The voice on the other end said, “That’s him!”

Yuriel looked bewildered. “How did he know about the development plans for Riverwatch District?”

“It’s very likely that he has connections in Lumina!”

Yuriel was about to respond when his desktop phone screen lit up.

Initially, Yuriel intended to ignore the call, but upon seeing the caller ID labeled “Mayor“, he quickly

hung up the landline.

He then swiftly picked up his mobile phone and stood up with a smile. “Mr. Ross. Why are you

personally calling me?”

“There’s a bidding conference this afternoon. Can you make it?”

“Yes, I’ll make time for

it!”

“Alright, see you in the afternoon.”

“Okay, see you there.”

Even over the phone, Yuriel was nodding and bowing.

After ending the call with Harrison Ross, Yuriel searched for Carlisle’s number in his contacts.

However, he couldn’t find it after searching for a while.

He then instructed the company’s executives to contact Carlisle and ordered them to buy the properties

from Carlisle at all costs.

At Dragonaire Studio, Sunny was sitting in front of the computer, posting advertisements on various

gaming forums.

When browsing the Riverland community, he saw a very eye–catching post.

“Latest news: Riverwatch District is about to be developed. The first subway station and high–speed

rail station in Riverland will be built in Riverwatch District, causing property prices in Riverwatch District

to skyrocket by more than five times…”

Sunny suddenly stood up, muttering, “Holy…
