Never See You Again

Chapter 53

"Did you hit your head, Zion? You're telling me that a land in the sewage district is worth more than ten billion dollars?" Even if they use that land for money laundering, it still couldn't be worth much. Charlie reached to touch Zion's forehead, but the latter slapped his hand away. "We received approval

from Seathburn City."

"Approval?" Charlie scratched his head. What did that have to do with anything?

Maeve hummed. "To promote a green city, the entire sewage district is funded by Seathburn City. So the district will soon become eco-friendly, and I won't even need to spend a penny." Charlie was puzzled. "Is that even possible?"

Maeve continued, "Not only that, based on the area of the land, I will also receive a subsidy of 20 billion

dollars."

"What did you say?" Charlie jumped to his feet.

Zion calmly added from the side, "Furthermore, the surrounding land was originally owned by the financial tycoon, Frederick Stephen. Because of the sewage district's transformation, Frederick has started a new project to transform the surrounding area into high-end properties and some other facilities."

Charlie blurted out, "Is he planning to build a city there?"

"Maeve plans to develop a commercial street there," Zion added.

Maeve quirked a brow at this. "How did you know?"

Zion didn't answer, but Maeve knew how his brain worked. He must have thought this was the best outcome, and in all honesty, so did she.

Charlie paused. "But that will cost a lot of money."

"With the subsidy, plus Stephen's plan to start a project there, it will be easy for us to get some investors later. Funding is not an issue." Maeve had thought this through.

Charlie gave her a thumbs up. "Impressive."

"Thank you." Maeve smiled.

"But I still don't understand, the approval just came today. And none of us heard anything about it before. How did you know about Seathburn City's plan?" Charlie looked at Maeve with suspicion.

This wasn't something that could be deduced through observation alone. The higher-ups have always been secretive about their plans. And since even he didn't hear any rumors, the plan must be operatingThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

a strict need-to-know basis.

Maeve had never been involved in real estate before. She couldn't have possibly predicted this.

Zion also turned to Maeve.

"Well..." Maeve teased, "It's a secret."

Charlie's excitement died off. "Boring, forget it!"

Zion kept his gaze on Maeve. The latter turned around and met his gaze. He seemed to know something.

Maeve quickly withdrew her gaze. Although it was just a brief moment, she felt her heart skip a beat. She must have been overthinking it. Someone like Zion would never be interested in a married woman like her.

Just then, Zion piped up, "We still have plenty of time. I'll take you back."

Maeve glanced at the time. "When did you guys get the approval?"

"This morning." Charlie asked, "Why do you ask?"

"If you saw it, it means others saw it too." Maeve took out her phone. She had kept it silent throughout the journey. Now that she checked, she saw there were two missed calls from Phillip.
