Chapter 588
“Mom just called me to say that someone spotted Terrence having a meal at Saffron Restaurant.
She’s heading over with Aunt Florence and wants us toe along to catch the swindler too!”
Julie told Dahlia.
“Terrence Stone? How dare that cheat show his face in public again?” Dahlia was furious. He had nearl
y made her family go bankrupt because of the issue with the abandoned building. In the end, it was Du
stin who took one for the family and bought it over. Hence, she had nothing good to say about Terrence
.
“Stop being
idle, Dustin! Go, get a car! We need to make Terrence give back all the money he ripped us off!” Julie s
aid resentfully.
“I’ve bought over the abandoned building, so neither of you made any losses. Why are you both so wor
ked up?” Dustin couldn’tprehend their anger.
“Hey! What do you mean? A con man like Terrence needs to be taught a lesson! We should act for
justice!” Julie dered righteously.
“Is that so?” Dustin smiled. He knew very well what was going on in Julie’s head. Her deration of just
ice was bullshit. She was just peeved that she was scammed, so she wanted to get some
form ofpensation from Terrence.
Taking a different car, the three of them hurried off to Saffron Restaurant.
Saffron Restaurant was a nice eatery with a good ambiance, excellent service, and exquisite food,
so it was only to be expected that a ce like that would charge exorbitant prices.
Over in a private room at Saffron Restaurant, Terrence, who had dressed up shily, was having a mea
l with the wrong kind of people.
“I’ve got good news for you, Terrence.” After having one too many drinks, a man with a rounded
face said, “I’ve heard from some official sources that the abandoned construction site will be
developed as a key project. Its value is rapidly increasing now!”
“What did you say? Key project?” Terrence was stunned by what he heard. “You’re not joking, are you,
Richie? That ce’s trash! Why would anyone invest money in developing it?”

“It’s true!” The man with the rounded face said, “My father works with the relevant department, and the i
nformation has been confirmed! There’s no mistaking that!”
“Didn’t you buy that plot ofnd where the abandoned construction is, Terrence?” Someone asked.
“That’s right! I recall that too! I could not understand why Terrence would buy that piece ofnd back th
en! In hindsight, I guess you already knew about it then, didn’t you?”
“You’re something else, Terrence! How could you predict where the developments would be? Do you h
ave some sort of insider information?”
“Congrattions, Terrence! You’ve struck gold this time around! Don’t forget about us when you make it
big!”
Terrence’s friend ttered him and tried to court his favor.
Terrence, however, sat frozen where he was for a long time. Never had he dreamed that the abandone
d construction site that nobody wanted anything to do with would suddenly transform into such a valuab
le piece ofnd overnight!
“What’s wrong, Terrence? Are you feeling alright?” Terrence’s friend asked.
“Hahaha! He must be having problemsing to terms with the fact that he’s going to be filthy rich!” S
omeone jested.
“Ri–Richie, how much does that abandoned building cost now?” Terrence asked tentatively.
“At least two billion!” Richie said.
“Two billion?” Terrence felt like he’d been struck by lightning, and he nched.
Under everyone’s disbelieving gaze, Terrence gave himself two ps on the face. “I–
I’m the greatest idiot!” How could he have just sold off a plot ofnd worth two billion dors? Was there
anyone out there more dumb than him?
Just as everyone wondered what was wrong with Terrence, the door of the private room was kicked op
en with a loud bang. Then, Florence, Victoria, and a few others barged in through the door. And they w
ere fuming.
“Terrence Stone! There you are!”
“Give me back my money! Give me all the money that you’ve swindled off me!”
