Chapter 246 We Both Helped Her Together

“You asked for a favor?” Lysander didn’t quite understand. “I thought they wanted to collaborate with you. Why did you have to ask for a favor?”

“It’s not exactly a favor.” Josiah let out a sigh, leaning back against the seat with some fatigue. “The property rights of the residential area your parents live in don’t belong to individuals. It’s a collective- owned land. And their unit, due to previous bankruptcy, owes a lot of foreign debt. They’re in a hurry. to sell that land to pay off the debt. If I don’t step in to buy it, other developers won’t care if it’s a government-subsidized unit or not, they’ll only give a three-month deadline to move out, and then they’ll just flatten it. By then, your parents will not even have a house for retirement.”

Lysander was somewhat surprised. “So you went to look for Mr. Reyes because…”

“Their architectural design company is a state-owned enterprise. They have connections in terms of approval procedures, so they can expedite the completion of the formalities for housing for low- income families. This way, I can start construction as soon as possible. It’s actually a mutually beneficial situation. What I need is to move as quickly as possible, and they can facilitate that. What they want is nothing more than the project, and I can give them a portion of the profits.”

“I don’t really understand things related to engineering.”

Josiah looked at her, smiled slightly, and said, “But I do. You don’t need to worry about this.”

“I previously thought you were doing this to build an amusement park…”

“Building an amusement park is just a preliminary plan. Time is a bit tight. I haven’t thought that much about it yet. We’ll talk about it later. The other day, I went to the entrance of your hospital to find your just to explain this to you, but I didn’t get a chance.”

Lysander remembered the events of that day.

It was raining heavily. She was sitting inside Zachary car, while he was outside knocking on the door.

Josiah gave it.”

a bitter smile. “It’s okay. You’ve said you don’t want to see me. I was mentally prepared for

Lysander pondered for a moment, then said, “So, you asked me to stay today to talk about this.”

“And about Harry. Lora graduated from the film academy and has some acting skills. Aiden is quite willing to spend money on her. She plays her part well as a rich young lady. Harry took the bait quickly and without much effort.”

Lysander sneered as soon as she thought of this. “He probably thinks he’s really impressive for climbing up the social ladder again.”

“Have you

discussed it with Priscilla?”

“About what?”

“The time of divorce. Have you decided on the return period for the luxury brand items?”

1/2

“Daphne even told you this?”

“She didn’t say much. She just asked me if I could help find a rich young lady to help put on a play. Her requirements were quite high. She had to be wealthier than her own family, and she had to be an only child. How many in Harborbrook could meet these requirements? Where am I supposed to find such a rich young lady for her?”

“Does Seamus Corporation know about Lora?”

“I have a few projects with Seamus Corporation. I just gave them a heads-up.”

“So, does the owner of Seamus Corporation really have a daughter overseas? Will our actions have any negative impact on her?”

Josiah shook his head. “This person simply doesn’t exist. Seamus Corporation has actually been quite troubled because there really is no one left. They have no heirs, and there are often some people who harbor ulterior motives within the company. This time, I took advantage of the situation and created such a person, who can actually help Seamus Corporation maintain stability, so they just went along with it.”

Lysander nodded. “That’s good, then.”

“You can rest assured about this. I’ll take care of the aftermath. There won’t be any problems.”

“Okay.”

Josiah turned around, sighing helplessly. “Like I said, if you need my help for whatever you want to do in the future, you can tell me directly. There’s no need to have Daphne be the middle person. You know her personality. She’s always displeased with me and never answers my questions properly. She just left me with a ‘figure it out yourself’ and then left. If I hadn’t bumped into you guys at the mall that day, with Priscilla in tow and all those branded shopping bags in your hands, I really wouldn’t have been able to guess what you guys were up to.”

“Thank you for your help with this matter. If Priscilla can successfully get rid of this jerk, I will tell her the whole truth, that it was you who helped her.”

*The idea was yours. We both helped her together. If there’s gratitude to be given, it should be given to both of us.”
