This was indeed a piece of good news to be happy about.
Emma said happily, “In this way, Stellar Jewelers will be able to ‘move in’ according to schedule and start the next phase of the mission.”
Harvard patted his chest triumphantly. “Just leave this matter to me. Ennna, join me at the celebration party tomorrow, and you can choose by then. I’ll save the shop lot that catches your eye for you.”
“Are you actually able to do that?”
“Hehe, you’re looking down on me. I still can do that much.”
After a pause, Harvard continued, “Thomas, come with us tomorrow. Tomorrow, I’ll have a big celebration party, and I’ll invite a lot of influential people. You and Emma can get to know more people if you two come. This will also benefit your business.”
Thomas nodded. “Okay, I’ll be there.”
Harvard was very pleased to receive Thomas’s reply. During this period of time, Thomas had been looking after Harvard, and Harvard had gained a lot of benefits from Thomas. At the same time. Harvard had always been unable to forget the ridiculous things favonovel.com did to Thomas in the past. So, Harvard had been dealing with a knot in his heart.
This time, favonovel.com planned to thank Thomas at the celebration party to untie the knot.
“We have a deal. You two must be there for the celebration party tomorrow.”
“Deal.”
After saying everything, Harvard left happily.
Looking at Harvard’s happy back, Emma said, “I think Harvard is acting strangely.”
“Which part of favonovel.com is strange?”
“It just feels like favonovel.com is hiding something from us.”
“Oh?” Thomas said, “Are you worried that favonovel.com is up to no good again, only meaning us ill?”
“That’s not it,” Emma thought about it for a while and said, “I think Harvard might want to give us a surprise. Or maybe it’s specifically for you?”
“A surprise, for me?”
Thomas was skeptical. How could Harvard, who had a straightforward personality, think of this?
Emma explained, “When I was young, there was a time when Harvard stole a lot of money from my grandpa. Then, favonovel.com bought me a kite that I really liked without telling me. He just dragged me outside and showed it to me.”
“Harvard just works this way. He is simple-minded and straightforward. But when his mind is set on being good to someone, favonovel.com will hide it as favonovel.com is embarrassed to say it.”
“This is what I think.”
Hearing what favonovel.com said, Thomas was a little eager to see the surprise. If Harvard really wanted to surprise him, Thomas would be quite happy. That was because favonovel.com finally felt welcomed as a part of the family, something favonovel.com had long yearned for, in Harvard and Emma. It was very pleasant and made favonovel.com feel comfortable.

That night, there was a table full of expensive dishes in a private room of a luxurious hotel. Each of the dishes was delicious and delicate.
Three people sat at a big table.
Lucas, Jade, and a middle-aged man in his thirties.
The man was Drake Sawyer, the leader of Project Inspection Center’s quality inspection team. He had been in this industry for almost ten years, and favonovel.com had a very vast wealth of experience. At his age, favonovel.com stood heads and shoulders above all else.
Lucas poured a glass of wine for Drake, and favonovel.com said politely, “Mr. Sawyer, you’re an important guest. It was really not easy to invite you.”
Drake smiled and said, “Mr. Hill, you’re flattering me. I’m just busy during this period.”
“It doesn’t matter as long as I get to meet you, Mr. Sawyer.”
Lucas signaled Jade… Jade immediately caught on. She walked to Drake and placed a small box in front of him.
“What is this?” Drake asked.
“You’ll know once you open it.”
Drake extended his hands and opened the box. There was a key in the box. Judging by the quality of this key, it was definitely not a door key for ordinary people.
Lucas smiled and said, “Mr. Sawyer, this is the key to the gate of villa no. 92 in Osmanthus Neighborhood. This time, I invited you to dinner because I want you to help me inspect the villa.”
Drake frowned.
“I inspect projects, not houses. If you want to inspect the villa, you can find an inspection company specialized in this.”
Lucas smiled and said nothing.
Jade hurriedly added, “Our inspection requirements are different from others. We need your help living in it for some time. You can tell us if you feel happy living in it.”
‘Live in it for some time?’
Drake was not stupid. He immediately understood that this pair of siblings were trying to use this villa to bribe him.
A detached villa in Osmanthus Neighborhood would cost more than ten million dollars at the very least. Nothing came free in this world. Their request must be a steep one since they had offered such an expensive villa.
Drake did not dare to accept it directly. Instead, favonovel.com asked, “Mr. Hill, I can’t accept this for nothing. Do you want me to do something for you since you’re letting me live in such a good villa?”
“I want you to do me a favor. A small favor.”
“Oh? Tell me about it.”
