It had to be said that the aftereffects of white wine were intense. My head felt heavy and muddled as I allowed Shannon to bring me back to the apartment.“Oh, slow down you. Slow down!”My legs did not feel like they belonged to me. I was a little shaky when I stood and needed Shannon to support me to force myself to walk.Spread out on the soda, Shannon grabbed a blanket and covered me.She took a seat to the side while waving her hands. "I can't carry you anymore. I already told you not to drink, but you still wanted to force yourself.”I felt more comfortable leaning against the sofa. "I'll just sleep. You go home.""Can I go back with you like this?""It's really alright. You’d better go back soon. I'm already home. What are you still worried about?”I did not want her to go back too late. She had not even had dinner yet.Shannon looked at me doubtfully. “Are you sure?”“Of course. I’ll be fine after some sleep. You shouldn’t stay here and disturb me.” I waved my hand,

I could understand Brian's impatience at the moment. Life would be difficult for him now that he had won the land in North Courts at such a high price.After a moment of silence, I slowly started, "Chairman Wagner, trust me one more time. We won't develop this land for now. Instead, we'll sell it at a high price when the market picks up."Hearing this, Brian's face turned blue and white in alternation. He looked like he was in disbelief.He wiped his face. "Wanda Lane, do you know what you’re talking about?"“I do. I also know you won’t be able to take in any of this now, but I would like for you to trust me again.”Brian lowered his head, a whisper of a smile on the corners of his lips. Immediately after, anger flashed across his face. "I'd be stupid to believe you again. The market price of land in North Court is at most no more than 100 million. We already won this land by a whole lot more than that. Who will be stupid enough to buy it from us?"I remained calm in the face of

Two months later, in Green Orange. In the office, I was looking at the news on the computer with a satisfied smile.Then, Shannon's voice came from outside the door. "Wanda, Wanda?" This was how she was. She was someone who one would hear before seeing. She was already married and had children, yet she seemed like a child herself. Pushing open the door, Shannon could not hide the smile on her pretty face. I looked at her with a happy expression, and she could already guess what was up. "Did you see the news too?" I nodded faintly. "Yes. Pack up. We ought to be heading out." Airport. The press was already there waiting when we got onto the scene. Earl Argylle, a famous investor from Yogire Nation, had a unique vision. The projects he invested in had all practically been stable, and their value even doubled. Rumor had it that he was even a member of the royal family of Yogire and that he was rich and powerful.When he came to Whaldorf City, he told the media that it was f

When we left the hotel, Earl and Nibel walked behind us.While saying our goodbyes, we made an appointment to meet tomorrow.I could not hide our excitement when I was sending Shannon back to her place."We’ll bring Earl to visit North Courts tomorrow. He’ll definitely be satisfied. He wants to build a soho-type building. He‘ll definitely build shopping malls and other facilities nearby. Next, we only need to release this news and the market value of North Court will definitely rise.”Ditching the dark clouds of bleakness from a while ago, Shannon looked as if she had been reformed."There's no rush. It won’t be too late when Earl finishes his visit tomorrow.""Alright!"After sending Shannon home, I also went back to my apartment. Just when I opened the door, I heard Neil's voice behind me. “You’re back. I just cooked hot pot. Do you want some?"“Alright.”I did not eat a lot just now and was still a little hungry now.Neil had thrown a lot of ingredients into the hot pot. H

Earl looked through the development blueprints with great detail, and it would be a lie to say it did not make me panic. My heart was fluttering at the moment as I watched his every move. Even every subtle expression of his was throwing a wrench into my emotions.Sylvester was so sly with how he had intercepted us halfway!Just when I had collected myself, Earl was also done looking through the blueprints and glanced at Sylvester. “It looks great.”That praise… Could he have been persuaded?"Perhaps you’d like to come and have a look at it with me, Miss Wanda?"Earl's abrupt words surprised me.“Together?” My eyes widened without me noticing. I thought about shamelessly following them along, yet Earl had actually extended an invitation to me. This was not what I had dared expect.At the side, Sylvester was surprised as well. He obviously did not think that Earl would invite me along.I did not know what Earl was thinking, but it was beyond great that I could go along with him.
