Chapter 1250

Chapter 1250:

Madisyn already understood the power dynamics between the Welch and Perkins families. Since Healy had reached out to her now, she had no reason to refuse—especially if it meant striking a blow against the Perkins family.

Her response was swift.

“I’ll accept your request to serve as an investment advisor for Welch Group. As for the development project in the west of Estresa, I know a thing or two. We can give it a try.”

On the other end, Healy, who had been anxiously awaiting her reply, practically lit up with excitement.

Ever since J had helped him secure a victory over Lilian, Healy’s respect and admiration had become absolute. He knew that no one else could provide the kind of insight and assurance that J could. And now, with J’s backing, he had the confidence to move forward.

Since J had always carried an air of cold indifference and their responses were always curt and to the point, Healy had assumed his proposal wouldn’t sway them. But against all expectations, J agreed. The moment Healy saw Madisyn’s message, the influence of the Perkins family was pushed to the farthest corner of his mind. He was a man of his own standing, raised by the Welch family, nothing short of exceptional. With meticulous care, Healy submitted his project proposal to the government.

A week later, when everyone had all but assumed the development contract would be handed directly to the Perkins family, the outcome stunned them all.

“Welch Group wins the bid for the development project in the west of Estresa!”

The announcement sent ripples of shock through the industry. Healy, on the other hand, was elated. Without missing a beat, he rushed to share the triumphant news with Madisyn.

At Perkins Group, Aldwin had already poured an immense amount of capital into the early stages of the project—only to lose the bid entirely.

For a brief moment, he couldn’t even process it. His first instinct was to call Eaton, but before he could reach for his phone, a knock sounded at his office door. His subordinate stepped in, carrying a long, rectangular box that Aldwin recognized instantly. A deep sense of unease settled in his gut.

The subordinate set the box on the table, flipped it open, and reported, “Mr. Perkins, this was just delivered to the office.”

“Damn it!”

Aldwin’s temper exploded. With a sharp swing of his arm, the box went crashing to the floor.

Never, since the Perkins family had risen to power in Estresa, had Aldwin been this furious.

“That Eaton!” he seethed, voice laced with venom.

“He took my thing, and still failed to get the job done. Now, he pulls this stunt? Returning it now—of all times, right when the result is announced? He’s playing games. And for that, he’ll pay.”

His subordinate stood off to the side, silent, breath held. If Eaton had returned the painting earlier, Aldwin wouldn’t have wasted so many resources preparing for the project.

Now that they had lost the bid, the Perkins family’s massive financial investment was nothing more than a sunk cost. Their power had already been waning. If they couldn’t turn things around, they wouldn’t just fail to reclaim their former prestige—they would plummet into an even deeper crisis.

Message from Noah:

I hope you’re enjoying the new chapters! More novels are on the way this week, so stay tuned to the website for updates.

I’m also working on a new section featuring VIP novels. This initiative is meant to help protect some of the website’s content, since a few sites have been copying everything I publish—even my messages.

In the near future, I’ll introduce a subscription model that will grant access to all these VIP novels. But don’t worry—free content will still be available. For example, if we release 10 novels, 6 will remain free while 4 will be VIP.

The idea behind the VIP novels is not only to prevent other websites from copying everything, but also to thank the people who support this project and help us keep the website running. I truly appreciate the kind messages you send me on WhatsApp and your constant support—thank you for being part of this community.

Lastly, my goal is to publish 1,000 novels, and I hope you, dear reader, will continue to enjoy this website along the way. God loves you, and Noah wishes you all the best. (=◡=)/
