No matter what Mr. Lynn was nning to do, Isabe managed to secure a loan of six million dors.
Adding it to her own four million dors, she finally umted a total of ten million dors.
A rxed smile spread across her face as she looked at the bnce in her ount.
It won’t take many days for this ten million dors to turn into a hundred million dors.
Isabe reminisced once more about the business miracle that Ben had pulled off in her previous life.
In the vicinity of Anaville, there was a smaller city called Mbo.
If one considered Anaville as a top–tier metropolis, Mbo was more of a second–tier city.
While it wasn’t too shabby, it stillgged far behind a city of Anaville’s caliber.
But now, Anaville was experiencing an overpoption issue, and mostpanies were
nearing a saturation point.
Therefore, the government had ns to establish a high–tech zone in Mbo to transfer some of the
businesses from Anaville, gradually elevating Mbo to first–tier status.
This initiative, spearheaded by the government, was moving at a swift pace.
In her previous life, the government chose a spot at the junction of the two cities and rebuilt it
completely. Indeed, within five years, they sessfully established a high–tech park, giving Mbo a
ticket to rapid development.
And nestled within this project was the opportunity that Isabe was seeking.
Before the government had announced their ns to construct the high–tech area, thend. there was
virtually worthless.
However, Ben had spent ten million dors to acquire arge area there in advance.
At that time, people were baffled by his move, not understanding the motive behind it.
But just three dayster, the government announced the development n for the high- tech park.
Chapter 139
The value of that piece ofnd skyrocketed almost immediately.

Ben then sold off the acquirednd, walking away with a neat profit of a hundred million
dors.
Isabe might not know the finer details, but she figured that this venture should be quite
straightforward.
All she needed to do was to buy that piece ofnd, wait for the government to announce. their ns,
and then resell it at a premium.
Making a hundred million dors seemed almost too easy.
After going over her n several times to ensure no loopholes, Isabe hurried to Mbo overnight.
She approached thend bureau there with the intent to purchase the exact plot Ben had bought in her
previous life.
A few minutester, Ben received news of Isabe’s intentions to buy thend.
“Mr. Landor, originally, the government had agreed to cooperate with us on this project. Now, Miss
Smith suddenly wants to purchase thisnd. What should we do?” his secretary inquired.
Ben raised an eyebrow, finding the situation somewhat amusing.
Isabe had mentioned starting an entertainmentpany, but suddenly she was keen on acquiring
landnd that he was about to invest in, no less. Her moves were so tant, as if she was practically
broadcasting her foresight ability to the world.
Yet, her foresight seemed to only scratch the surface of things.
She seemed unaware that his initialnd acquisition was anchored on an agreement with the
government.
He was a renowned Midas of investment. Wherever he chose to buynd, it would instill a profound
confidence in the investors, enticing other capital to flood in as well.
Essentially, this was a performance orchestrated hand in hand with the government to bolster investor
confidence in that area.
But Isabe…
What use was it for her to buynd?

Could she inspire confidence in the investors?
Could she attract capital to settle there?
When Ben acquirednd, he could turn a barren plot into a goldmine.
But when Isabe boughtnd, that barren area would remain just that – barren.
“Mr. Landor, they are asking if we want to reject Isabe’s request to purchase thend?” the secretary
inquired.
Ben couldn’t help but chuckle, “Reject? Why reject? Give her as muchnd as she wants.”
“Yes.” The secretary didn’t probe further and promptly left to carry out the instructions.
A yful glint flickered in Ben’s eyes.
Come to think of it, he owed Isabe a bit of gratitude recently.
Over the years, the Storm Group had ventured into investments across various fields, consistently
reaping substantial profits.
Ben keenly sensed that the entertainment industry might be the next big opportunity. Hence, he
nned to invest in the entertainment sector next.
However, he wasn’t particrly interested or knowledgeable about the entertainment industry, so his
initial n was merely to invest in a few projects, without getting personally involved.
But now, hadn’t Isabe appeared with her foresight ability?
Therefore, things had be much simpler for Ben.
He established Future Entertainment.
Then, he would buy whoever Isabe approached.
Following that, Ben had professionals evaluate them.
As it turned out, all the individuals Isabe had identified had the potential to be huge
stars.
Future Entertainment suddenly had a host of promising artists under its wing. So,

shouldn’t Ben be thanking Isabe?
At this point, if he leveraged Isabe’s foresight ability further, Ben was sure to gain even
more.
But money wasn’t inexhaustible, and personally, Ben was not in need of more. After using Isabe
slightly, he nned to have her exit the scene, cleanly and neatly.
Yet before he could set a trap, Isabe seemed to have set one up for herself.
It was simply… mind–blowing.
A few minutester, the secretary returned to report, “Mr. Landor, that plot ofnd has been sold to
Isabe. She spent a whopping ten million dors.”
Ben raised an eyebrow, “Ten million dors? She shouldn’t have that much money left. Investigate
where the funds came from.”
The news of Isabe visiting the Lynn family was hardly a secret. Soon after her departure. from the
Lynn family’s residence, the information that she was heading straight for Mbonded squarely on
Ben’s desk.
The Lynn family…
Ben frowned, his expression clouded with concern.
He hoped that things were not as he suspected.
#
If the Lynn family were gearing up to make some irrational moves…
A shadow seemed to pass over Ben’s eyes, lending a slightly dark hue to them.
For now,
he decided to put the matter of the Lynn family aside. He got in touch with the
officials from the government, “Regarding thend area for the coboration, I believe we can discuss it
further.”
There were many options avable at the junction between Anaville and Mbo.
The parcel that Isabe had bought wasn’t the only option.
Since Isabe wished to purchase it, Ben decided he would abstain from buying.
After all, construction had not yetmenced, and changing the location would not entail

So, the next day, she didn’t go anywhere, instead constantly refreshing the governments official
website at home.
But to her dismay, she spent the entire day refreshing the page and not a stred of news came through.
Panic began to seep into Isabe’s mind.
Had there been a mistake somewhere?
Why hadn’t the government announced anything yet?
If the government had decided not to develop that are what was ste doing with this expensive barren
plot ofnd? Hold onto it as a costy mistake?
“No, there’s no way they won’t develop it, Isabe muttered to herself trying to stake off her anxiety,
“Perhaps there’s just been a shift in the schedule? Maybe they’ll announce it
tomorrow.”
Forcing herself to remain calm, she continued to wait
Another day passed.
Still no news.

Again, no updates were to be found. However, Mr. Lynn had already called to inquire about the
repayment of the loan.
On the fifth day.
The day she had promised to repay the money had arrived. Yet, the government. announcement she
was desperately waiting for was nowhere to be seen.
“How can… this be…
Isabe was glued to the government website, as if trying to will some news into existence by sheer
force of staring.
This can’t be happening. There had to be an announcement.
In her past life, Ben had made a whopping hundred million dors from that piece ofnd. It couldn’t be
that when it was her turn, things wouldn’t pan out.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lynn couldn’t help but make another call.
“Miss Smith,” Mr. Lynn asked, “we agreed on a five–day deadline, and today marks the end of it. I was
wondering about the repayment…”
Isabe instantly became agitated, “What’s the rush? The time isn’t up yet, is it?”
Mr. Lynn narrowed his eyes, his voice icy yet controlled, “Miss Smith, six million dors is
not a small amount.”
For a family like the Lynn family, lending six million dors isn’t a big deal, but the money didn’t just fall
from the sky. There’s no reason to give it away to an outsider, right?
“I know,” Isabe replied, her irritation apparent as she refreshed the government webpage.
yet again.
Suddenly, a new notification popped up.
“The Five–Year n for the High–Tech Zone Development in Mbo.”
Isabe’s eyes widened dramatically.
“It worked, it worked!” she eximed joyously.

“What worked?” Mr. Lynn inquired, slightly confused.
Isabe, now brimming with confidence, replied, “Do you really think I would abscond with your six
million dors? Mr. Lynn, check the Mbo government website yourself. They are about to develop a
high–tech zone there, I used the six million dors you lent me, added four million dors of my own,
umting ten million dors to buynd in the future high–tech park ahead of time. Now, with the
government’s official announcement, the value of mynd has increased tenfold in an instant. Do you
still believe I can’t repay the loan?”
There was a pause from Mr. Lynn, followed by the sound of clicking.
Finally, seeming to verify Isabe’s im, his tone softened, “Miss Smith, you truly have an eye for
opportunities, getting hold of such insider information. I didn’t expect that your bought that piece ofnd
by the Lippe River in Mbo. Ben has also invested there. It’s bound to be a gold mine.”
Isabe’s face changed instantly, her voice rising sharply, “What did you say? Land by the Lippe
River?”
Mr. Lynn frowned, “Is there a problem?”
“No, this can’t be,” Isabe said, her hands trembling as she clicked on the link.
The high–tech park in her past life was clearly built by the Leith River!
That’s why she had boughtnd surrounding the Leith River.
If the location for the high–tech park had suddenly switched to the Lippe River area…
Hernd would be worthless!
Frantically, Isabe scanned the announcement, her gaze freezing on the words ‘by the Lippe River‘.
Her face turned ashen.
This was different from her past life.
Why, why did this happen?
“This can’t be!” Isabe screamed sharply.

Mr. Lynn, startled by her sudden outcry, squinted his eyes, asking cautiously, “Miss Smith, has
something unexpected happened?”
“It’s over, all over,” Isabe had no mood to respond to Mr. Lynn. She stood up abruptly, “No, I need to
get this sorted.”
Leaving her phone behind, she dashed out like a madwoman.
“Miss Smith? Miss Smith?”
Mr. Lynn called out a few times but received no answer.
His eyes took on a dangerous glint.
Was Isabe nning to default on her debt?
