Kenton didn’t believe anyone could escape this trap, and most definitely not someone like Wynter who hadn’t even completed her education. Did she really think a bit of business knowledge would mean that she was on par with him?

Kenton sneered, and his eyes were full of malice. He had kept his true nature behind his facade of a respectable elder in the Chamber of Commerce. After all, too many were present.

But it was different now. He intended to show Wynter what true suffering looked like.

He remembered how Shane had ultimately failed against him as well. If anyone wanted to delve into the real estate business, they needed to seek the Wray family’s approval.

Kenton walked to the side as Adrien whispered something in his ear. He frowned and asked, “You still

haven’t found them?”

“No, but it’s unlikely they’ve been caught. We would have heard from the higher–ups by now if there were serious issues,” Adrien replied.

Kenton’s expression remained tense. “It may not be a big issue, but it’s best if we find them. And as for the situation in the urban village, you came from there, so you should know when to make your move.”

“Rest assured, Mr. Wray. As you’ve seen over the years, not many leave our village unscathed. It’s not just for you who needs this, but that guy from the higher–ups as well. Wynter has a lot to learn, and someone will make sure she gets the lesson she needs.”

Hearing Adrien’s words brought Kenton a sense of satisfaction. He nodded before replying, “Make sure to keep an eye on the scholarship committee. Monitor Wynter closely, and ensure she pays up first.

“Tell Mr. Valen and the others not to be too aggressive at the start. They should be reasonable and only extract what is necessary.”

“Understood.” Adrien promptly continued, “I’ve already given the instructions. Everyone’s been advised to stay calm.”

Kenton looked behind his shoulder and instructed once again, “That goes for the villagers in the urban village as well.”

“Got it,” Adrien confirmed before pressing the elevator button to leave.

Kenton had everything in place on his end, and now the real bidding was about to begin. Before heading out, he made one last call to someone from the relevant department. It was one of the three men he had dined with previously.

Strictly speaking, some conferences were confidential. Hence, phones were usually handed in during

these sessions.

The contact, who had likely just finished a meeting, answered the phone from the restroom. His voice was hushed, and the conversation was conducted in code.

“I’m still busy as usual. Wait for me to go home for dinner. We can’t compare to Sterling as he never forgets to report to his wife no matter how busy he is.”

Through the phone, Kenton could hear the conference’s background noise, and that confirmed a crucial detail for him. The policy was indeed in play! His gamble had paid off, as usual!

Kenton’s heart raced with excitement. It seemed that Yvette’s predictions were spot on every time. With her insights, he was confident he would not only secure profits but also avoid risks and identify upcoming

opportunities.

After ending the call, Kenton immediately contacted his team to expedite the necessary procedures.

It was easy for him to get the land. However, Kenton knew that securing the land before the policy announcement was crucial. It was key to making tenfold profits! Waiting until the conference was not an option. He needed to act quickly!

He also had to consider the stock market implications. If the land were to be developed, certain stocks would inevitably rise significantly. This interconnection meant that securing the land and timing the stock investments were both critical.

Kenton was filled with excitement as he stood in front of the window. He glanced at a message on his phone. “The cash is ready. Ms. Yvette will be right next to us at next week’s opening.”

However, the person who sent the text still had a question. “Mr. Wray, are you sure about investing 80 percent of the funds?”

“I’m sure,” Kenton replied without a moment’s hesitation.
