Chapter 55: Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Although Sharon was annoyed from being exposed, she knew Maeve couldn’t outright refuse Philip.

The land spans about 60,000 square meters! She didn’t want it to fall into Maeve’s hands.

Maeve feigned surprise. “It’s becoming a green city? I didn’t hear anything.”

“You have never been involved in properties, so it’s only natural that you didn’t hear. Philip is also doing this for your good. Our family will definitely earn big using the land.”

Sharon’s eyes lit up at this. Everyone in the business knew how valuable the land would become once it turned into a green city.

Maeve sighed. “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier, Uncle Philip? It’s too late now.”

“What do you mean by that?” Sharon tensed.

Philip gasped. “Maeve, did you...”

“I sold the land three hours ago.” Maeve shook her head weakly.

“What?” Sharon exclaimed.

“I bought that land on an impulse when I got in a fight with Sergio. But I always felt like I was losing out since the land was in the sewage district. I’ve been wanting to sell it off but no one was willing to buy it from me. However, Zion approached me today and said he wanted to buy the land. I was so happy and immediately signed a contract with him, fearing he might back out. I got the money, and the land belongs to him now.”

Maeve spoke with regret as if it were true.

Sharon quickly grabbed Philip’s sleeve. “What should we do?”

They were going to lose their golden goose!

“Can we get it back?” Philip asked tentatively.

Maeve shook her head. “Of course, not!”

Sharon stepped forward. “Why don’t you talk to Zion again? Tell him you changed your mind.”

Maeve sneered to herself. But she still maintained her grim facade. “I don’t really care about the land. But since you want that piece of land so much, why not let Uncle Philip talk to Zion and see if he can give up the land?”

After saying that, Sharon deflated, losing her previous confidence.

Philip groaned. “Zion is ruthless. I won’t compete with him for the land!”

Maeve knew Philip well. He would never deal with someone as ruthless as Zion.

Hearing this, Sharon felt angry and frustrated, glaring fiercely at him.

Maeve shrugged. There’s no need to worry, Aunt Sharon. It’s just a plece of land. How valuable can it be? Besides, our family has such a large enterprise. Do we really need that piece of land?”

“Exactly, I felt the same way.” Philip was about to sit down. But Sharon stomped away after hearing that Maeve calmly took another sip of tea. They were trying to take advantage of her. Well, dreath on!

After a while, Maeve left the house. Zion was still waiting outside.

Maeve knocked on the car door. “Why are you still here?”

“Charlie said we should celebrate.” Zion hummed.

“I didn’t say that. He was the one who wanted to celebrate!” Charlie called Zion out.

Maeve thought for a moment. “This does call for a celebration.”

Zion smiled. “I’ve already booked a private suite at Seasons Hotel. Get in, Ms. Scott.”

“An honor indeed, Mr. Spencer.” Maeve grinned.

Sergio was attending a banquet in the afternoon. As Larry drove past Amenam Uity, Sergio glanced at the students on the campus. He suddenly thought about Maeve. “Stop the car.”
