Alice furrowed her brows, letting out a long sigh.
“If we can’t cash in on the Southvale property, my family won’t be able to repay the bank loan.
“If the funding chain for the Miller Group snaps, the consequences would be disastrous,” Alice added.
Vera, listening intently, shared her concern. “Alice, what are we going to do? It’s not a small sum of money
Alice shook her head bitterly and said, “I honestly don’t know what to do.
“That’s why I’m asking for your help. We need to reach out to our influential friends to see if anyone can take on this project. I need to recoup funds quickly to pay back the bank.”
“The problem is that the city has essentially abandoned the Southvale property. Raymond sighed helplessly.
“Right now, all the businesses holding onto the Southvale project are desperately trying to sell it off, but even at half price, no one is biting.
“I’ve heard that many are willing to sell at just 20 percent of the value to repay their loans.”
Alice nodded in agreement and said, “Guys, I have no choice but to ask you for help..
“The bank has given us until next week to repay the loan, or else…”
“Sigh!” With a heavy heart, she sighed again. “My grandfather’s health is really
concerning
“The doctors say he can hold on for at most another six months.
“With this news, the shareholders have started to stir, eyeing the chairman’s position
“Grandpa wants me to take over the company.
“But now, the Southvale development project I advocated for six months ago has hit a snag, and it’s become a talking point for the shareholders and relatives.”
Vera looked at Alice sympathetically, her brow knitted in worry. “Alice, weren’t you with Liam from the Universal Group yesterday?
“A billion isn’t a big deal for the Hamiltons,” she continued.
“Besides, the Southvale area will eventually be developed; it’s just a matter of time.
“If someone with power invests in Southvale now, they surely won’t lose out. There’s a good chance they could profit.”
Alice forced a bitter smile and explained, “Mr. Liam is man of significant means; he wouldn’t waste money on such a questionable area
Raymond nodded in agreement. “According to the current urban development plan for Harmonfield, it Southvale stops receiving investments now, it might not see any action for over a decade.”

Vera said, “Alice, Zachary, your Southvale project is really in trouble.
I don’t have the connection to take over your project

“However, they won’t easily invest a large sum into such a long–term venture with an uncertain outcome.
The city won’t invest in Southvale unless a miraculous event occurs.
Alice shook her head in resignation and said, “Looks like I’ll have to swallow my pride and approach the Dunn Group and Violeterest International Maybe Shirley and Daphne might be interested.”
“Wait, Zachary, I just remembered! Aren’t you close with a sales department’s vice general manager at the Dunn Group?
“Should we reach out to him?
“What was his name again?”
Zachary’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Oh, I almost forgot Right, his name is Howard Dixon, an MBA from Autreynia’s Huffurd Business School and the vice general manager of the sales department at Dunn Group
“Word is, he was a classmate of Shirley’s at Huffurd. Dunn Group holds him in high regard, and he might become the new president of Eastvale.”
Today, Dunn Group is holding its first executive meeting for Eastvale and the on–site signing for the Eastvale Ecological Project”
“Alice, let’s head over to Mr. Dixon and let’s see if he can persuade Shirley to take on our Southvale property.”
Vera listened to their conversation, eager to share her knowledge.
In reality, Robin was the new president of the Eastvale Development Company under Dunn Group.
If Robin spoke up, getting Dunn Group to take over the 500 million Southvale lot might be just of words.
a matter
Unfortunately, the Millers seemed to be missing out on a chance that rightfully belonged to them.
“Alright, let’s give it a shot and see if we can find a breakthrough,” Alice said, nodding. “Vera, if you have nothing else going on, you should come with us.”
Vera readily agreed.
She had been wanting to check out the Dunn Group building across the street to see what it was like with Robin now at the helm of Eastvale Development Company.
The four of them chatted for a bit before setting off toward Dunn Group.

Robin had arrived at the Dunn Group building early that morning.
As he stepped into the lobby, he heard a familiar voice call out from behind, “Robin!”
Turning around, he saw Rosalie and Piper.
After nodding in acknowledgment, he made his way to the elevator.
Piper pulled her friend aside and asked, “Why are you shouting? Aren’t you embarrassed when you greet a security guard:
Rosalie stuck her tongue out playfully. “What’s so embarrassing about Robin being a security guard? We aren’t employees here yet.
“You silly goose! I’ll be an executive here soon, maybe even an executive assistant or a vice president. Hell just remain a security guard! Piper rolled her eyes at Rosalie, disdain evident in her tone.
Rosalie murmured, “Even so, it’s not a big deal. We’re colleagues and friends. It’s just a greeting. Besides, he even helped me once.
Piper scoffed, “Only someone as clueless as you would believe that. Can’t you see he’s deliberately waiting
for me?
“That jerk must be trying to hit on me: I absolutely loathe creepy men!”
“Really, Piper? When I wasn’t calling for Robin, he was just walking by,” Rosalie thought for a moment. “Plus, Robin isn’t creepy at all.”
“Please! If he wasn’t waiting for me on purpose, why isn’t he in his uniform at his post during work hour? Piper shot a disdainful look at Robin.
“Coward! Just yesterday at Four Seas Entertainment World, when I was being bullied by some men, he pretended not to see me. Men like him are the worst!”
Rosalie mumbled, “Maybe he really didn’t see you.”
“Enough! Stay away from him! Don’t wait until you fall for deception and regret it!” Piper shot Rosalie a fierce glare as she scolded her.
Rosalic pouted, falling silent.
Piper glanced at Robin in the elevator, considering skipping it.
But with her interview coming up, she knew she had no time to waste.
At that moment, Connor ran up from behind. “Piper, Rosalie, you’re here?”
However, the elevator could only fit two more people.
Connor looked inside and saw Robin, who was scrolling through his phone with headphones on. You get
out!” he barked.
Everyone in the elevator turned to stare at him.

Robin continued scrolling, ignoring Connor entirely.
“Hey, I’m talking to you! Didn’t you hear me?” Connor shouted.
Two people in the elevator recognized Connor and asked, “Mr. Whitman, who is this:

Just a little security guard from the company. Why is he even crowding the elevator during peak hours? Ridiculous! Connor was clearly annoyed.
“Did you hear me? Get out now, so we can enter!”
Piper, watching Robin ignore Connor. She let out a derisive laugh. “Disgusting! He’s so shameless just to share an elevator with me.”
She stepped forward and yanked off Robin’s headphones. “Connor’s talking to you! Get out! You’re wasting everyone’s time!”
Robin’s displeasure was instant. “Who gave you permission to take off my headphones, you ill–mannered brat?”
Piper was taken aback. She stammered, “You! How dare you speak to me like that?”
“Am I wrong to call you ill–mannered?” Robin said, a smirk playing on his lips. “If you keep pushing it. I might just slap you! Get lost!”
Connor wanted to step in, but Robin’s indifference made him uneasy.
He finally said, ‘Fine, just you wait. I’ll be telling the security chief about this!
“Piper, you guys go ahead. I’ll catch the next elevator. I’m civilized and won’t stoop to arguing with a security guard!”
Rosalie and Piper stepped into the elevator.
Robin paid no attention to Connor or Piper and turned to Rosalie. He asked, “Are you here for an interview today?”
Rosalie nodded and said, ‘I might not get the job. The interviewer said I’m just a bit behind the other candidates.
Robin smiled encouragingly. “Don’t give up; you’ll definitely get the job.”
Piper scoffed again. “What does a mere security guard know? You act like the company president. You seriously think whatever you say goes, huh?”
