    Chapter 1493


    Ever since she was a kid, Pandora had schooled Hannah not to just ept gifts from others willy-nilly.


    These guys weren’t exactly her buddies, so she’d definitely refuse. She said, “I appreciate the thought,


    but you can take all this stuff back home. My old man has already bought a ton of supplements for me,


    enough tost me a lifetime.”


    Kate piped up, “Are those store-bought supplements as good as our homegrown chicken? City folks


    are dying to get their hands on our chickens, but they can’t. Just take it, will ya?”


    Hannah shot back, “Really, there’s no need!”


    But no one took her seriously. They just dumped their gifts, in her yard and told her, “Just take it, will


    ya? We’re all part of the Ableson n. We’re family.”


    Hannah responded, “Kate, really, there’s no need.” She was alone against a tidal wave of their


    enthusiasm.

    Suddenly, a voice cut through, “What the hell are you guys doing?”


    It was the vige chief. He was one of the guys responsible for hosting Steven today.e2


    They were showing Steven around the area and hadn’t nned on stopping by the old Ableson ce,


    but Steven decided on a whim to drop by. As soon as they arrived, they found a crowd gathered in


    Hannah’s front yard. Worried about the impression this would leave on Steven, they said, “If you’ve got


    nothing to do, go home. Stop loafing around.”


    Steven noticed the things in their hands his eyebrows furrowing. Hemented, “They probably know


    who I am and are trying to bribe me, huh?”


    The vige chief was taken aback. “President Dixon, we haven’t revealed your identity. How could this


    be? Please don’t overthink it.”


    Steven chuckled. “I know you didn’t. Because I met most folks here yesterday.”


    The vige chief asked, “You’ve met them?”


    Steven replied, “You probably don’t know. This ce belonged to my father-inw. My wife came home


    for a rest recently, and I came with her, looking for a project to invest in to spend some time.”


    Hearing this, the vige chief was shocked because he heard Steven talking about looking for an


    investment like it’s some entertainment. This was truly a rich man’s world, something ordinary folks


    probably couldn’t understand.

    The vige chief quickly gestured to his secretary to get things arranged, then said to Steven, “Turns


    out the Ableson family brought such a huge investment. If our folks in Higgins Vige live a better life in


    the future, we must thank the Ableson family.”


    Steven just smiled, not saying a word. He, indeed, was here to invest because of Hannah.But that


    wasn’t the only reason.


    He saw the rich tourism resources here, but due to its remote location and poor transportation, not


    many people knew about this ce. After his investment, he’d first fix the roads, then send


    professionals to develop the tourism resources, and then heavily advertise. Soon, this ce could


    be a famous tourist spot. The vige chief then said, “President Dixon, I see Ms. Hannah is in the


    yard. Do you want to say hi?”


    Steven said, “You guys get rid of these gifts first. No more sending stuff to bother my wife.”


    The chief replied, “Alright.”


    The secretary stepped forward, and with a few words, got those who were unwilling to leave to go.


    Their gifts were not delivered, and everyone was uneasy, fearing Steven would give them trouble.


    Some people left reluctantly, looking back at every step. They hoped Steven would be more forgiving,


    but no one dared to speak up.


    The vigers dispersed, and the noise ceased. Hannah finally noticed Steven not far away. She only


    nced at him, then shifted her gaze, preparing to close the yard gate.
