Chapter 255 Not Allowed To Develop It


    Making a show of ''berating'' his family, Sean then turned to smile at Nathan and Penny, "Nathan,


    Penny, your uncles were rather unreasonable in their requests. I hope you two won''t take it to heart.”


    Nathan stared back at him, wondering what the sly, old fox was up to this time.


    Penny hurriedly assured, "Of course not. I''m just happy you can understand where we''reing from."


    "Yes, yes," Sean chuckled as he continued, "Of course I understand."


    With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.


    However, when he reached the front door, he abruptly stopped moving as if he had just remembered


    something. Turning his head around to look at Penny, he queried, "Oh, by the way, I heard your


    pharmaceuticalpany is looking to build a factory. Is that right?"


    Nodding her head, Penny replied, "Yeah. Unfortunately, we''ve yet to find a suitable location. Either the


    price is too high or the ce is too small."


    A smile crossed the old man''s face as he offered, "The Smiths bought a plot ofndst year at


    Phoenix; it''s roughly one thousand acres or so. All the necessary documents have already been filed. If


    you want thatnd, we can sell it off to you."


    Her face lit up with surprised joy as she eximed, "Phoenix? That''s perfect! Grandpa, how much will


    you be willing to sell it to me for?"


    "The other plots ofnd you were looking at were quite expensive, weren''t they?"


    "Yes, most of them wanted at least 1.5 million and above for quite a small plot ofnd."


    Smiling widely, Sean said, "Well, we''re family so I won''t sell it to you at such a high price. How does 1


    billion for the whole thousand acres sound?"


    "Really? That would be great! I''ll head over with the executives tomorrow to have a look at thend. If


    everything appears okay, I''ll sign the contract with you on the spot!"


    "Good!" The smile never left Sean''s lips as the Smiths exited the house.


    The next day, Penny brought a team of executives with her as they went to the Eastern suburbs to


    have a look at the plot ofnd on Phoenix.


    Like Sean had said, it was one thousand acres of tnd. The remote surroundings made it more than


    suitable for building a factory. Having ensured the necessary documents checked out and unable to


    find a better price out there, Penny was more than happy to sign a contract with Sean. After that, she


    instantly transferred 1 billion into the Smith family ount.


    Unfortunately, trouble came for Cross Corporations several days after the deal was made.


    The general manager, Helena Oceans, burst into Penny''s office. Sweat dotted her forehead as she


    spoke in a wavering voice, "President Smith, something bad has happened! There''s been an issue with


    the plot ofnd we bought from the Smiths."Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Penny''s body trembled as she croaked out, "What?"


    Sounding close to tears, the manager answered, "I only just found out the Smiths had been tricked into


    buying thatnd for 800 million. It was only after they bought it that they realized they had been


    scammed. Unable to develop it, they just left it there." New ch?pter av?ble o? Draмаnоvеls.cоm


    One billion, down the drain.


    As she lost herself in her despair, Nathan walked in with a thermal container.
