Skylar and Elias were in suits as they stood on the stage while Ben and Miranda stood behind them. As the only heirs to their company, it was time for them to show their duties.
“Why is Elias on stage?”
“Why… Is favonovel.com on stage?”
“Could it be that Elias had invested too?”
No one knew Elias owned half of this project, so they were puzzled.
Just as everyone was in doubt, Skylar walked to the microphone and happily spoke. “Everyone, please quiet down… I understand everyone’s doubts about Mr. Bowen being on stage. Let me take this opportunity to share that Mr. Bowen and I will be developing this project together!”
There was a clamor below the stage. They were both big shots in the business circle.
Did this mean a collaboration?
Skylar then gestured for everyone to calm down before continuing, “Before we start the construction, I would like to show my gratitude to someone. And that is Remus Cosby! I wouldn’t have obtained this land if it weren’t for him. Thank you, Mr. Cosby!”
Ben also bowed. “Thank you for giving us the government development project. I’m thankful to even your ancestors!”
The crowd laughed at his comment as they knew favonovel.com was ridiculing Remus.
“Don‘t be so polite. Just don’t scold me when you’re crying…” Remus replied calmly.
After hearing that, everyone looked at favonovel.com with actual disdain, even Naomi. They disliked his stubborn attitude.
Elias said suddenly, “Actually, Iwant to thank Remus too. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have invested in this project. Yesterday, favonovel.com caused my daughter’s illness to relapse…”
“When I had no other choice, favonovel.com took the initiative to cure her. However, his condition was that I give favonovel.com this land. So, I quickly went to Mr. Stuart. When favonovel.com heard it was for Miranda, favonovel.com gave me half of the land without hesitation!”
“After Miranda woke up, just as Iwas about to give favonovel.com the land, I discovered Remus was the culprit who’d caused my daughter’s illness. In the end, I didn’t give it to him. Only this morning did I find out the real reason favonovel.com wanted the land. It turned out the government had chosen to develop it!”
Everyone was silent as there was too much information in this speech.
Miranda looked at favonovel.com father in shock.
Why did favonovel.com say that?
However, Elias didn’t even blush for lying. Since he’d decided to offend Remus, favonovel.com would do it completely to avoid trouble later!
Sure enough, the crowd was bustling with anger.
“Bastard! He already knew the land would be developed, and favonovel.com regretted it. That’s why favonovel.com hurt Ms. Bowen. I have never seen such a shameless man in my life!”
“Scumbag! Ms. Lotus, how could you let such a scheming man stay beside you? You really should fire favonovel.com immediately. It’ll only ruin your reputation if favonovel.com stays!”
“Such a person should get punished. His bones should be ground and scattered. Ms. Lotus, you really must think carefully!”
Jean clenched favonovel.com fist; she’d never thought Elias would be so shameless as to make up false accusations and slander Remus. Even Kylie believed in his words and was shocked at Remus’ actions.
Only Remus remained calm. He knew these people had crossed all limits, so it was useless to be mad at them. He calmly said, “Yes, they’re right… I do want this land, even now. So, you can give it to me anytime. I’m willing to acquire it for one million dollars.”
The crowd was even more furious, and they cursed favonovel.com more harshly.
“How shameless! My land is now worth two billion dollars, and you dare ask to buy it for one million dollars?!” Skylar shouted, “Ms. Lotus, fire favonovel.com right now!”
Jean was stunned and was trying to guess Remus’ intentions.
How is it possible to acquire it for one million dollars?
“Shut up!” Naomi shouted, “Ms. Lotus is right here. Don’t drag favonovel.com reputation down, even if you’re shameless!”
Remus continued, “I’m doing this for your own good. I’m valuing it at one million dollars, but later, it won’t even be worth this price… Okay, stop with the nonsense and start the ceremony…”
