“Stopping them will be impossible. At this point, it would be cutting off their financial lifeline,” Wynter texted.

Albert understood this harsh reality. In the world of stock exchange, no one would believe you. After all, the elderly had more faith in their hard–earned insider tips more than anything.

Wynter thought for a moment before her eyes flickered with an idea. “Albert, leave this to me.”

“Alright,” Albert responded without hesitation. “I’ll keep buying as you instructed.”

Wynter knew Albert was dependable and hence didn’t reply further.

But Albert could never stop worrying about Wynter. “I heard about the land deal. Be careful, and if anything happens, remember that we’re all here. Rowan and Tobias are nearby.”

Wynter chuckled at the message. Albert was being overly protective again. It would be a full–blown entourage if Rowan and Rowan really showed up. What would they come for? A meet–and–greet with fans?

However, Wynter would definitely put their influence to good use when the time was right.

With that thought, she kept her phone.

Seeing how Wynter was looking at the urban village’s map and not saying a word, Cyrus couldn’t help himself anymore.

His face was flushed when he finally spoke up, “I’ve thought about what you wanted me to consider. This land really doesn’t seem like a good investment.”

Wynter always felt like he was slow to pick things up. She suppressed her impatience and raised an eyebrow. “And?”

“Wynter, did you hear what those kids said earlier? It sounds like we’re not the first to try to acquire this land. There must have been many attempts before us, and it seems like they all ended in failure. It’s as if this place is a bottomless pit.

“It might all be wasted no matter how much we invest. It’s just like how we invested billions before and got nothing in return.

“They could use various excuses to keep demanding more, delay the project, and make sure we spend everything we have until we’re completely drained.”

Cyrus‘ concern grew stronger as he continued to think about it. He never considered these risks before he started following Wynter.

He initially thought the project seemed promising, especially with policy support. There was a chance, albeit slim, that they could hit a stroke of luck and end up with highly valuable land. It could potentially multiply their profits tenfold.

But it was becoming clear that Alejandro was setting them up. As Wynter had mentioned, it was all about political gains for him.

Cyrus clenched his fists tightly. “I was really foolish. You made it clear from the start when you asked me where my connections with Mr. Calico came from.

“I was still confused back then, but now I understand. They knew you were using me to find connections. That’s why they allowed Mr. Calico to meet me.

“Mr. Calico was upfront about his initial offer of 500 million because he’s confident that the Montclair

family won’t do anything to him. It’s even safe to say that the Montclairs are tacitly supporting him. That was the only reason why we were able to meet him.”

Cyrus gritted his teeth. “Grand… Grandma must have intended to use this land to ruin us.”

Wynter had heard enough at this point. She finally looked up and said, “It isn’t to ruin us but to ruin me.”

Her voice was calm as she continued, “With what I know about Mrs. Montclair Senior’s methods, she’ll find a way to make sure you don’t have to invest when it comes down to the final stretch.

“Cyrus, don’t forget that the initial investments are all mine. You’re only needed when we reach the mid- term phase. But if I run out of funds before we even get there, and you refuse to provide the necessary funds, it will leave me in a very difficult position.”

That would mean no cash flow! Despite his superficial knowledge, Cyrus was still a finance student. He understood such basic principles. He just couldn’t believe that Tamia would use such a vicious method against Wynter!
