Chapter 447


    A bunch of people were waiting there, and the person in charge introduced him to some potential


    development sites.


    Maja noticed the beach area was pretty vast. She had lived in Crystalbrook Valley for so many years,


    yet she knew nothing about this ce.


    Then she heard the guy in charge say, “Tornadoes hit this ce from time to time. But thest tornado


    was a decade ago. Our current equipment can’t urately predict tornadoes. If we had equipment that


    could, this whole area could be developed.”


    What he was implying was that if tan could provide a tornado warning system, they could sell him this

    area for cheap.


    For the Raymond Corporation, building such a device would be a piece of cake.


    Ian said, T’ll have people from the Raymond Corporatione and survey the ce. They should be


    here by the afternoon.”


    The guys in charge didn’t expectn to respond so quickly. They knew thatn held the final decision,


    so they pointed towards a vi.


    “Mr. Raymond, let’s rest over there first. Later, I’ll drive you around to other ces.”


    This area was huge–over a hundred kilometers–and not just the area they were looking at now.


    Ian nodded and nced at Maja subconsciously.


    Maja remained silent the whole time.


    He was somewhat displeased. Was their rtionship really that hard to talk about?


    It was indeed a bit hard to swallow.


    But her husband wasn’t here now.


    He put his arm around her waist.


    “Let’s rest over there, then.”


    Maja stiffened and shot a nce at Daly and Bob.


    -Being affectionate withn in Greenfield was nothing to her anymore; she was used to it.


    But in front of people she knew, the shame was hard to shake off.


    Yetn seemed indifferent. This made her feel as if her thoughts were as dirty as a sewer rat under the


    sun.


    They, withn at the center, walked towards the vi.


    The person in charge quickly exined.


    “This vi, like Riverside Haven, is built for bosses whoe to invest. But this ce is remote. Even


    though the water is clean and the scenery is beautiful, developing this area alone is impossible. The


    beach alone isn’t enough to attract tourists. So, previous potential investors pulled out because they felt


    the cost was too high.”


    But now that the Raymond Corporation was in charge of developing other areas of Crystalbrook Valley,


    adding this one wouldn’t be a big deal. It would just be a drop in the bucket.


    After all, they had already invested tens of billions; what’s a few more million?


    The guy in charge continued.


    The main issue is the tornadoes that have been a headache for some investors. There hasn’t been a


    tornado since one a decade ago. But we know it wille again sooner orter. Investors are worried


    about idents, and if there are casualties, this ce can no longer be developed.”


    The people in charge of Crystalbrook Valley really wanted to coborate withn. They were now well


    acquainted, so there was no need to beat around. the bush.


    This was exactly whatn admired about them.


    After a few more exchanges, they decided not to disturbn anymore. They agreed to rest for a couple


    of hours and stroll around the areater..


    Asking for two separate rooms at this point would only make things awkward, so Maja unconsciously


    followedn.


    But then she received a text from Daly.


    “Maja, I need to talk to you.”


    She hadn’t been in contact with Daly since theirst argument. She thought for a moment, then told


    Then she went to find Daly


    Her n was to avoid making things too ugly; after all, Daly was Lillian’s brother.


    But once Daly confirmed everyone else had left, he immediately said, “Maja, what the hell has gotten


    into you?”


    Maja raised an eyebrow, then calmly said, “Uncle, if you have something to say, just spit it out.”


    Daly heaved a sigh and said, “You’ve worked so hard to get out of poverty through your studies. Why


    are you acting like those uneducated women who try to get close to rich men? You’re already married,


    aren’t you? Your mother would be restless in her grave seeing you like this!”


    “You’re married; you should live a good life with your husband. And with Mr. Raymond’s wealth, why


    would he marry you? You’re just wasting your youth. Your aunt has told me about your husband s


    irresponsibility and his infidelity. But even if you want someone new, you should find someone honest


    and reliable. Mr. Raymond doesn’t seem to be that kind of man.”
