The Woman From Hell

Green Orange was graced with Brian Wagner's presence again today. I instructed someone to lead him to the meeting room.

"We're honored by your presence, Chairman Wagner. Did you come because of the matter with North Courts' land?" I entered the meeting room with some documents, and when I saw Brian, his expression was frighteningly pale.

The Yards had released news about North Courts' land just last night. They even said they were not going to take Green Orange and the companies allied with it seriously and that they were certain of their victory over North Courts. Brian also wanted this land, so it was no wonder he could not sit still. "President Lane, Yard Group released their absolute statement. Silas is wholly confident that he will get the North Courts' development rights. What chance do we have?" Brian said urgently with a frown.

I looked at him and smiled slowly. "Why is your mental state still so unstable despite your age? Are you only limited to the land in North Courts?"

"What do you mean by that?" Brian expressed his displeasure at my inappropriate words.

"Don't lose your head yet. North Courts' land may be good, but it can't beat Astral Garden. I heard a bid will be open for it soon. Won't it be better for us to focus on Astral Garden instead?" I softened my tone, hoping that Brian would hear me out. His emotions settled when he heard what I said.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly replied, "The reserve price for Astral Garden will be higher than that of North Courts. Do we have a chance of winning?"

"Of course. To tell you the truth, it's not difficult for us if we want to win North Courts now, but you also know Silas is wholly confident about this land. He also confided to me that he must win the development rights to North Courts. Based on that alone, we have to give up North Courts. If we raise the price and let Yard Group pay a higher price than they had expected to win North Courts, this would be a heavy blow to them, don't you think so?"

My words were succinct and on point. Brian would have to listen to me even if he did not want to.

He had had a long-standing grudge against the Yards. His initial thought of competing with Yard Group to win North Courts was also to go up against them. However, if we could bleed Yard Group, Brian Wagner would also probably agree to it.

"You're right. But if Silas was lying and if his final statement was just a scam, it would be our loss if we end up getting North Courts."

"You needn't worry about this. I've already made the necessary preparations. Yard Group will be the one to win North Courts' development rights in the end," I replied firmly. en FindNovel

Seeing my confident expression, Brian found it hard not to trust me. He finally chose to compromise.

"Fine. I'll listen to you on this. Bet

you have to guarantee to help me get my hands on Astral Garden." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"You chose to work with me, so I definitely won't let you down. Astral Garden will surely be yours." I had never treated anyone who worked with me badly. Brian nodded. "Alright. I'll take my leave first, then. Don't forget our agreement, President Lane."

"Of course."

After receiving my assurance, Brian left the meeting room.

The moment he left, Shannon entered. She patted my shoulder "Wanda, how can you guarantee that Yard Group will be the one who gets the development rights in the end?"

I smiled at her and winked. "That's a secret."

Picking up the files, I headed out.

"What's the secret? What secrets are there between you and me? Tell me quickly," Shannon urged me as she tried to get to the bottom of it.

However, the lesser people who know about this, the better.
