SON-IN-LAW GETS AN UPGRADE - Season 5 Episode 71

“Yeah, my old man wants to make a big investment, and it just so happens that he fell in love with this piece of land,” said David.

“Well, that’s a bummer,” said Stefan, taken aback. “We have our eyes on this piece of land as well. What are you gonna do about that?”

David stared at Stefan for a while with his eyes blazing. Then, smiling, he said with confidence, “It is a coincidence that we both have our eyes on this piece of land. But I’m afraid your wish would be hard to come true, Mr. Jones.”

Stefan felt a little uncomfortable with David’s imposing manner. But thinking that the Zucker family was lower in status as compared to Alex, he calmed down and said, “Then, Mr. Zucker, I’m afraid you’ve met your competitor this time.”

“Oh, yeah? Well, that’s good then. I haven’t met a competitor in a long time,” David chortled before suddenly changing the topic. “By the way, we’re having a class reunion tomorrow, Mr. Jones. I shall not call Autumn personally, so could you please pass the message to her?”

David and Autumn were college classmates. After saying that, he turned and walked toward the mountains with a group of staff following behind.

Stefan creased his brows as he immediately saw through David’s ulterior motives,

“I’m afraid it’ll be troublesome to take this piece of land now that the Zucker family is involved,” said Ginny.

Alex glanced at David’s back and a ghost of a smile crossed his lips. “Can’t you see? It’s Evans Ford who sent the Zucker family.”

“Didn’t Benjamin promise to give us the land for free?” asked Stefan in puzzlement. “A big shot like him would keep his words, no?” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Alex shook his head. “If we had chosen another place, he would have fulfilled his promise. But we chose the land of Nebula Hill. Of course he would feel a little unhappy if he gives it to us for free.”

Ginny nodded and chimed in, “Yes. The city was going to turn this place into an amusement park, which can be sold at a high price. If he gives it to us for free, they’ll lose a lot of financial revenue.”

“Then what should we do now? Are we going to have to spend a lot more money?” Stefan asked with a frown.

Alex gave a faint smile as he said, “What that can be fixed with money is not an issue. The most the city would do is to send more bidders to the auction. If you don’t believe me, go check it out this afternoon. They will definitely say that there are many families who are interested in this land and since it’s inconvenient for them to offend other forces for our sake, they will definitely end up proposing a bid.”

“Evans Ford, that sly devil,” groaned Stefan. “Is he not afraid that we’ll change our mind and build the tech dome in other provinces?”

Alex shook his head. “We’ve invested a lot in this project. He’s expected that we wouldn’t change our minds easily and is set on taking us down. Okay, just tell him directly that we are taking this land for twenty million. If he wants to auction this land or something, tell him that we’re not investing in Nebula

City anymore. Be tough when you talk to him.”

“Got it,” Stefan said.

Just then, Alex’s phone rang. Upon taking out his phone and seeing that it was Maggie who called, he hesitated for a while before answering.

“Mr. Jefferson, there is something I don’t know if I should tell you or not.” Maggie’s hesitant voice sounded as soon as the call was connected.

“Just tell me,” Alex said.

“Well, I’m at the Auto Show Center right now and I saw your wife, Heather, having a good time talking and laughing with a handsome guy. I think that man is the new president of Ivy Media Group, Stuart Nixon. He’s quite attentive to Heather the whole time, and I’m sure he must be up to no good. But I may be overthinking it,” Maggie said.
