Chapter 1426 The Land’s Owner

As if struck by realization, Wynter wore a look of surprise.” Please calm down, Mr. Calico. It seems I’ve overlooked a few things. I’ll have Albert prepare the funds and head to the Bureau of Land Management immediately.”

Despite her words, Wynter casually stirred the ice cubes in her milkshake. She had developed a taste for unsweetened milkshakes since arriving in Hawford, finding them helpful for managing unexpected energy slumps. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Hearing her response, Alejandro relaxed his grip on the wine box as his frustration eased. “I’m glad you understand my good intentions. Be quick, as the contract has been established.”

After all, he had made all preparations to ensure she would be unable to back out.

With a sly smile, Wynter replied, “You’re quite efficient, Mr. Calico. I look forward to seeing how things develop.”

“So do we,” Alejandro echoed in his heart. He could envision the gains he would reap with his associates.

Though Wynter might be naive and foolish, she had the Quinnells‘ and the Whitmans‘ support. With the two families ready to cover for her shortcomings, Alejandro and his associates had the leverage to dictate their terms.

With that in mind, Alejandro swiftly made a call to the Bureau of Land Management and instructed his men to expedite Wynter’s dealings.

Unfortunately, one tended to overlook the finer details when a significant benefit was at stake, such as the city mapping and upcoming conference.

Wynter arrived at the Bureau of Land Management with Dalton in tow.

As they were transferring a piece of land valued at just five million dollars, the process was relatively straightforward. Even so, both the Valen Village’s people and Alejandro believed they had snagged an excellent bargain.

“You may review the contract, Ms. Quinnell. If everything is in order, please sign your name here,” the administrator directed.

Official documents were generally tricky to forge. But Wynter, with her legal background and expertise, wasn’t easily misled. After carefully reviewing the contract and verifying the official seal, she signed her name on the document.

“You may make the initial payment now. Please remember to pay the remaining balance in full within a month,” the administrator stated, handing Wynter two documents from the drawer.

“No need for installments. I’ll settle the full amount today.”

Wynter smiled and slid the check across the desk. Beaming, the administrator quickly collected the check and stamped the documents.

Dalton glanced at Wynter beside him and toned down his voice. Their conversation was barely audible for others to hear.

His breathy voice reached Wynter’s ears. “To secure a vast expanse of land infused with the celestial force for just five million dollars shows that you really know your stuff, Dr. Genius.”

It had been a while since Wynter heard that nickname. Maybe because they were so close, she couldn’t help feeling a tickling sensation in her ear. As Wynter turned around to retort, her lips brushed against Dalton’s cheeks.

Even Dalton was caught off guard by the unexpected kiss. Something flickered across his eyes as he held Wynter’s head. “Save the kisses for home. This isn’t the place for that.”

Raising her eyebrow, Wynter was about to retort when the administrator came over to hand her the completed documents. With that, all development rights and land usage of Westvalen were officially in her possession.
