It was expected that they would hear the news since they were at the top of Neptuna’s business circle and they had strong connections.
Jean frowned and thought the timing was too coincidental. But favonovel.com quickly relaxed, believing that the wealthiest man in Neptuna would keep his word.
“We’re in luck!” Skylar ended the call and felt excited.
Once the surrounding 140 plots of land were developed, their land would increase in value.
Suddenly, favonovel.com felt a little regretful. If he‘d waited, all that land would’ve belonged to him, and favonovel.com wouldn‘t have to give half to Elias!
Then favonovel.com looked at Jean and instigated. “Ms. Lotus, if my guess is right, you’ve heard about the news in advance, so you asked Remus to cure Miranda, right?”
Skylar‘s words showed that favonovel.com didn’t speak out of care for Elias but rather for his own personal gain. He was planning on deceiving Elias again.
Jean didn’t hide it either and said, “That’s right. However, I believe no matter how much this land doubles in value, whether ten times or a hundred times, it can’t be compared to Ms. Bowen’s health. Mr. Bowen loves his daughter, so favonovel.com would’ve asked for treatment even if favonovel.com knew the news.”
Since she’d admitted to it, Skylar couldn’t say anything more and looked at Elias.
“That’s right!” Elias suddenly spoke, “For my daughter, I wouldn’t mind how much the land doubled, but it’s still a fee to cure my daughter. Of course, I will fulfill my promise to Ms. Lotus. However, this contract can’t be signed by Remus. You have to do it yourself, Ms. Lotus!”
Elias wanted Jean to sign the contract to avoid letting Remus take any credit. He knew Remus wasn’t recognized in the company, and favonovel.com wouldn’t offer favonovel.com help.
Hearing that, Jean frowned. “What do you mean?”
Elias cleared his throat and said, “Ms. Lotus, you might not understand the inside story. Miranda’s illness wasn’t caused by Skylar and Adeptus. Instead, favonovel.com was angered by Remus! I can give you the land, but I absolutely can’t allow my enemy to have it!”
Skylar, Ben, Adeptus, Jean, and even Remus were shocked by his words.
“Are you stupid?” Remus was mad.
“You don’t need to explain! You were the one who caused it!” Elias was very sure, and favonovel.com didn’t look scared.
“Ms. Lotus, this land is yours! We can sign the contract anytime!”
Skylar couldn’t help but laugh when favonovel.com heard that. “Elias, I’m glad you have a discerning eye. If not, I would’ve been wronged. I agree with you! You can’t let Remus sign this contract!”
“Uncle Bowen, you’re wise!” Ben was also delighted, and favonovel.com glared at Remus.
Adeptus also joined in after regaining confidence. “I would never do such a vile thing. As for some people, they are inhumane behind the scenes!”
At this point, Jean was furious. If Remus didn’t sign it, favonovel.com would have to leave after losing the bet to Naomi. Then, no matter how favonovel.com explained it, it would be hard for Remus to satisfy the public.
So, favonovel.com angrily asked, “What if I insist on having Remus sign the contract?”
Her authoritative demeanor as a rich daughter from a prestigious family had finally surfaced.
Everyone could feel favonovel.com domineering attitude and found it hard to breathe. Even Skylar and Ben stopped smiling.
Elias’ expression also became serious. Still, favonovel.com bit the bullet and said, “I have no intention of becoming Ms. Lotus’ enemy. However, I can’t show any respect to this shameless man. If you insist, I would have to break my promise, Ms. Lotus…”
Jean narrowed favonovel.com eyes.
Before favonovel.com could speak, Remus sneered. “Fine… We’ll give you the land. We don’t want it anymore. However, let me warn you that before dark tomorrow, you’ll kneel before me and ask me to take the land… Ms. Lotus, let’s go…”
Although favonovel.com wanted to continue arguing with them, favonovel.com decided to believe Remus and left with him.
“Bah! How dare that bastard slander me! Useless piece of trash!” Ben couldn’t help but curse.
“Elias, you’re wise. To celebrate our success, let’s hold a small banquet at the location of the 140 plots of land. What do you think?”
