“Joe thinks too simple of things…” Someone nearby commented immediately.
“That’s right. Although he’s wealthy, he doesn’t know a lot of things can’t be settled with money,” The middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle nodded again.
“And who do you think will win?” A wealthy lady nearby asked quietly.
“I don’t need to think about that… Billion Trees Real Estate, of course.”
“Yes, Billion Trees Real Estate is an established company in Joules Town after all.”
“It’s well-connected and rich. Lennon Real Estate is wealthy but new!”
Everyone shook their heads. Most people thought that Astor would lose if he wanted to go against Jimmy.
“I think there’s more to this handsome boy than meets the eye. Joe must have had a plan in mind if he said that.”
“What if he has something good to overpower Jimmy?” The rich lady with a pearl necklace said after taking a sip of red wine.
“Haha! Youngsters take things too easily.”
“Let’s just watch him lose badly in the end.”
The crowd laughed when they heard this. They wanted to be friends with Astor. But, they found Astor’s behavior childish.
It was all right if he was capable. If not, Astor would fail miserably in the end.
***
The night passed quietly.
That night, Chyntia, Jeffrey, and Ray were not idle.
Astor had arranged something for Chyntia and the others to do after leaving the party.
Originally, Astor thought he would wait until his side was more stable before taking on Billion Trees Real Estate. However, he noticed Jimmy was a little overeager.
In that case, Astor would not hesitate.
There was a saying that an ant overrated its strength by trying to shake a big tree.
It was true. However, who could determine in advance which side was the tree?
The ant in the other’s eyes, Josua, wanted to take on the tree, Billion Trees Real Estate.
8 AM.
Billion Trees Real Estate’s headquarters building.
Jimmy looked solemnly at the information in his hands. Weston was waiting quietly nearby.
“I’ve pulled some strings. Lennon Real Estate can never do anything with this land…” A few minutes later, Jimmy revealed the information slowly as a deep sinister smile appeared in the corners of his mouth.
“Mr. Lidell, what can I do?” Weston was also excited.
Joe knew even Ray could not protect Astor if Jimmy went all out.
Knock knock knock!
Just as Jimmy was about to speak, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
“Come in…” Weston frowned slightly as he shouted at the door.
Bang!
A female secretary in a black business suit walked in hurriedly.
“Mr. Lidell, Mr. Willard, we… We… Please… Look at this…” The secretary stammered as she placed a stack of papers in front of Jimmy.
“What are these?” Jimmy frowned slightly as he picked up the documents to look through them.
With one glance, Jimmy’s eyes widened as he continued looking through the documents. The more he looked, the darker his face grew.
By the end, he was already shaking with anger.
