    Chapter 1486 "Suppress the news first, and it must not be brought up to the Board of Directors," Ada


    instructed her assistant.


    Seeing Ada''s gloomy face, Joanne poured her a cup of warm tea. "Don''t worry, for things may not be


    as bad as your assistant said. Let''s arrange for another team to explore it again. Perhaps those wastes


    aren''tpletely unmanageable..."


    Ada looked pale as if she had lost too much blood. She shook her head and said, "It''s all my fault! I


    strongly advocated taking that piece ofnd at that time. Patrick has reminded me to carefully survey it,


    but I ignored his advice..."


    In fact, Patrick was like a matrilocal son-inw of the Brown family.


    After all, he left his hometown and broke off contact with the Atherton family in Sapphire City.


    Therefore, he had been looked down upon by the elders of the Brown family.


    Even Mrs. Brown, who seemed satisfied with him on the surface, was actually testing his abilities.


    Ada intended to support Patrick''s position in the Brown family''spany, so she fought against a


    cousin of the Brown family and snatched the casino project away. Then she handed the project to


    Patrick and started fighting for that piece ofnd.


    As long as they sessfully acquired thend andpleted the perfect construction of the


    underground casino and above-ground vi leisure area, it would undoubtedly be the second


    tourist ma.


    Before the auction, Patrick had reminded Ada that there seemed to be a problem with thend survey


    report.


    But at that time, she was urgently trying to secure Patrick''s foothold in the Brown family''s Board of


    Directors, so she ignored these details.


    She once believed that the reason why the previous owner had withheld thend for over a decade


    was to wait for nearbynd values to rise.


    It was beyond her expectation that there would be such a big problem!


    It was under this situation that Edwin came to her ce.


    Driving a Maybach, he came to the Brown family with great fanfare.


    He quickly got out of the car. With his thin lips tightly pressed and an eager expression on his face, he


    exuded a chilling aura.


    When he walked down the garden path of the Brown family''s front hall, he saw Joanne and Ada


    chatting on the second- floor balcony.


    Joanne keptforting Ada and tried to think of solutions.


    If Patrick made a mistake, their marriage would probably be rejected by Mrs. Brown!


    "Miss Brown, Mr. Edwin is here again..." the servant urgently reminded them by knocking on the door.


    Ada had no mood to deal with Edwin anymore. "I have said that if he dares toe again next time,


    just send him out!"


    "But Mr. Edwin said..."


    "I don''t want to hear it! Let that scum go away!" Ada roared.

    Joanne said quickly, "What if he wants to discuss dropping thewsuit? I''ll go see him. You can try to


    find the previous owner first. Hisnd survey report is problematic, yet he still put thend up for


    auction, which is tantamount to fraud. If we can recover the losses, we can think of other ways to


    remedy the situation. In that case, the project won''t be ruined..."


    When Edwin entered the hall, he saw Joanne had juste down from upstairs with a look of panic.


    Without saying a word, Edwin grabbed Joanne''s hand and walked outside.


    Joanne couldn''t shake off his grasp and was forced to follow him all the way.


    When they arrived at a ce near the backyard where no one was present, Edwin finally let go of her


    and asked, "Who is Tail''s mother?"


    Joanne''s face changed slightly, but she pretended to be calm. "Didn''t you already know?"


    "I''ll give you onest chance. Who is her mother?"


    Judging from his determined face, Joanne knew that he might have already known the truth.


    It seemed that she had failed to deceive him after all.
