    Nathan, who was here to deliver lunch to Penny, took in the pale looks on the two women''s faces.

    Frowning, he asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Throwing herself into his arms, Penny sobbed, "Nathan, we were set up by Grandpa! The piece ofnd


    they sold us is an ecological reserve so we can''t develop it. We''re doomed..."


    Finally understanding what was going on, heforted her, "No wonder others sell the same size of


    the mayor. Maybe I can get him to change it back to a normal plot ofnd, that way we''ll be able to


    develop it."


    Shaking her head, she spoke tearfully, "It''s no use. It''s not easy to change the function of thend like


    that. The mayor won''t agree to it."


    "Just let me try anyway. You never know, things might just work out. Wait for my good news,” he stated


    with a smile.


    Heading to his own office, Nathan dialed the mayor''s number. Once the call went through, he


    immediately questioned Russell about that plot ofnd in Phoenix.


    Although he was deeply curious as to why Nathan would be interested in such a small matter, Russell


    still replied respectfully, "Mr. Cross, previously, there was this business mogul who wanted to invest in


    Phoenix as he wanted to turn it into a tourist attraction. As such, we designated Phoenix as an


    ecological reserve. It was only afterward we found out the investment was a cover for the man''s money


    financial fraud and sentenced to life in prison. Soon after, the matter of turning Phoenix into a tourist


    attraction was forgotten. That''s why the function of thend was never changed back."


    Humming, Nathan queried, "If Phoenix is no longer being developed as a tourist attraction, is it possible


    to change it back to developmentnd?"


    With augh, the mayor responded, "Sure! In truth, Phoenix is just a ce with a nice name, there''s no


    potential there to turn it into a tourist attraction or it would have been done long ago. I''ll contact the


    relevant departments to make the change.


    "Ultimately, Cross Corporations is one of Channing''s local enterprises. Plus you''ve obtained the


    distribution rights to the vine. I''m sure yourpany will be one of Channing''s biggest taxpayers in


    the future. We need to look after our own!"


    "I''ll leave this matter in your hands then, sir!" Nathan replied with a lightugh.


    Hanging up, he did not immediately rush to tell Penny the good news. He wanted to be certain


    everything worked out and thend was sessfully changed back to developmentnd before he told


    her. He did not want her to be happy for nothing.


    This decision of Nathan''s was exactly the reason why Penny found herself unsettled the whole


    morning. In the end, she decided to go visit her grandfather in the afternoon. Hopefully, she could


    reason with him and he would be willing to refund her.


    She knew Nathan was a particrly domineering man and was prone to violence whenever he got


    angry. This was why she did not tell him of her intentions. Instead, she went to the Smith family home


    alone.


    In the living room of the Smith family home.


    The whole family was happily chatting andughing. The reason for their good mood was obvious.


    Paul piped up, "Hahaha! Dad, you''re amazing!”


    Giggling, May chimed in as well, "Naturally, Grandpa is smarter than all of us. But that bitch, Penny,


    really is a fool. To think that she actually believes that we see her as family! As if we would sell her a


    good plot ofnd at such a low price. What a naive and wishful thinking!" Updаted at Drамanоvels.cом


    She eximed, "You''ve gone too far this time!"
