Hermione came back into her office from a long meeting looking exhausted. She dragged her legs toward her chair and collapsed on it with her secretary and project manager following behind.She heard about the Hillcrest Land development project and was interested in it so she asked her project manager, Peter, to provide her with more information.Hermione sighed and asked, "I heard that Hillcrest Land development is going to be auctioned soon. Can you give me more details about the land?"Peter nodded and answered, "Yes, ma'am, and a good day to you. Yes, that's correct. Hillcrest Land Development is a prime piece of real estate, located on a hill that overlooks the entire downtown area. The land is approximately 10 acres, and it's zoned for mixed-use development, which means that it can be used for a variety of purposes, including commercial, residential, and office space."Hermione's eyes lit up, feeling completely interested in it. "That sounds like a great opportunity. Do we have a

It was a new day.Dwayne huffed as he thought about Dylan's threat. The deadline has passed already but no Dylan. He even got numerous calls from the family but he told them nothing bad happened. Everything was fine.Well, except for the fact that he was in dipshit all thanks to Jackson. Where the hell did he go with those files? He's been so frightened, dreaming about the worst-case scenario. Finding himself in court and sentenced to life imprisonment. Finding himself locked up behind bars.No, would Jackson do such to him?Then his phone began to ring. He picked it up from his desk and saw it was an unknown number. With furrowed brows, he answered the call, "Hello, who's this?""Dwayne Clifford, brace yourself cause your downfall is fast approaching. I've seen what you did and I know what you've done. The evidence is all over the place and soon you will answer to the law. Brace yourself!"His heart dropped and the call hung up.He swallowed hard and looked at the number. It was unk

Not everyone knows who Annabell Farrell was and so when the crowd saw her and judged her to be a youthful, beautiful girl who looked to be in college approaching them quickly from the entrance, it accumulated some gossip.The ones who did not know she was, laughed hysterically as they thought that it was whimsical for a college girl to back Dylan up.Dylan, himself, does not know the girl and he was curious to know why she got involved.Also, some chatty ones could not help but speak, "Where did this little girl come from? Look how she is, coming out of nowhere to demonstrate superiority.""Well, everyone in this place comes from a rich background. The girl must have come to put up a garish act by showing off her strength."However, this person who just spoke had his mouth immediately covered by his companion who whispered to him warningly, "Are you nuts? I'm surprised you can't even recognize her. She's that little devil from the Farrell family, Annabelle. You know what her brother J

As expected, the screen in the room was used to stream the happenings of the auction. It was even better and clearer than sitting in the auction hall.Then Dylan said out of curiosity, "Gavel Plaza is owned by your family, why do you have to organize an auction? I'm sure you guys have the money to immediately pay for the land."Then Anna replied, "That's not how it works. We only provide the venue but we are not the actual organizer. The actual auction is organized by a government association who of course wants to make good money with the land. Melrovia Land and Property Agency commonly known as MLPA. The authority is involved in this auction too."Dylan nodded in understanding.Then he looked at her. "The fun is mostly in the auction hall. Let's go." He said and stood up. "Or, I'll just go alone." He added, wondering why he said that.Anna pouted. She stood up and walked with him, down to the auction hall. They found a chair and sat down.Dylan's eyes met Hermione in the other row b

"Are you serious?!" Madame Sharon exclaimed in shock. "That good for nothing purchased the land at Hillcrest for thirty million dollars?!"Hermione nodded tiredly and sat on the couch. "He did. He signed the contract, Mom. It doesn't seem like he's good for nothing like we make him out to be… He has money, Mom. He has money, people, and connections but we keep getting blinded. I saw it with my own two eyes. As much as I didn't want to believe it, it was clear as day."Madame Sharon kept herself in a curious stance as she narrowed her eyes at Hermione. "Do you mean that he's been deceiving us?""I think we've been stupid. I feel sick, I need to go to my room." She said and walked up the stairs.Madame Sharon scoffed and shook her head at the thought of it. No way. Miracles don't happen overnight so it cannot be the case. If Dylan is capable of fooling Hermione, it won't work on her. He will always be the poor bastard in her head.There has to be something else to explain the contract.
