Chapter 586


    Chapter 586 You Are Really Something


    Norman Simpson, a manager at thepany, projected the n of Old Town and the demolition and


    relocation nid out by the government.


    Eva’s heart skipped a beat when she saw that her house was within the area. That feeling was like


    hitting the jackpot, and a huge amount of reward would be within reach.


    Their family was anxious to sell their house to settle the problem caused by Kevin. Who would have


    expected such a windfall all of a sudden?


    If the area was demolished, they would be allocated three units of property for relocation purposes.


    Tobias looked at the huge area of old residences and sunk into deep thoughts. In fact, that piece ofnd


    had fallen into his hands many years ago, but there had never been any development n initiated for it.


    Currently, the construction of G60 Carlos Bridge and the biggest duty-free store in Aploth under Ford


    Group was about tomence around the area.


    The construction would start from the old residential area. Hence, relocation of the residents and


    demolition was imminent. Initially, he had thought that he could bypass that area. But right then, it didn’t


    really seem realistic.


    Eva listened very attentively as they discussed the matter, and her lips couldn’t help but curl up in


    excitement.


    Tobias asked, “Is there any way we can circumvent Harbourside and leave that area out, keeping it intact


    without demolishing it?”


    Norman had never considered that before, but then Tobias had pointed out the residential area in


    particr.


    “Hmm, that’s quite challenging. If we leave Harbourside out alone, it would form a ring-shaped


    construction area, with ourmercial area encircling the old residential buildings as its core. Well… the


    impact would be really huge.”


    The smile on Eva’s face disappeared. She didn’t understand why Tobias wanted to bypass Harbourside.


    Desperately, she chimed in, “Mr. Ford, I’m living in Harbourside, and all my neighbors around have a


    strong urge to relocate. I don’t think there’s a need to keep that area.”


    Tobias shot Eva a look. He knew all too well the n was brewing in her mind.


    Ignoring Eva altogether, he insisted, “Draw up a new n and try as best as you can to avoid


    Harbourside. Don’t worry about the construction yet.”


    Eva knew how obsessed Skr was about the old manor. She could even foresee that if they sold the


    manor, Skr would definitely acquire it.


    So, is that why Tobias tries to keep Harbourside out of the development n? Is he helping Skr to


    keep the repository of her memories? Never would Eva have imagined that this ce would involve such


    a major interest in the project. The cost of pleasing a woman is a little too high, isn’t it?


    “Ms. Jones, you’re really something today, aren’t you?”

    Skr frowned in puzzlement. She didn’t really remember what she did that day other than giving him a


    call, asking him why he blocked her.


    “You happened to reveal to all my senior managers that I wanted to make love with a woman in the car. I


    shouldn’t have answered your call,” that said, Tobias didn’t really me Skr.


    Skr’s face blushed in a second. “What perverted fetish of yours is that? Why must you be on speaker


    mode? How would I know that?”


    Tobias let out a sigh and returned, “I didn’t know you would call me at that hour either and even spoke


    about something like that.”


    Skr was having a semi-meltdown. How embarrassing is that?


    And she was still bothered by the fact that Tobias had blocked her on WhatsApp. It was only after Tobias


    gave her his exnation that she finally understood.


    Feeling a little ashamed of herself, Skr said, “I thought you were dumping me. It seems that I was


    overthinking. Anyway, now that I think about it, such petty behaviors as abandoning someone by


    cklisting and bailing on her aren’t something that you would do.”


    Tobias replied helplessly, “Is that what I’m like in your opinion? An irresponsible jerk who would block


    your number after sleeping with you? I’m not a phnderer who cheats for sex.”


    Skr set down her script and stood behind the sofa, eagerlyying her hands on Tobias’ shoulders, and


    began massaging lightly.


    Tobias took out a stack of bills from his briefcase and handed them to Skr.


    “Kevin’s matter was rted to Hayden. All his loans went through Hayden and amounted to over two


    million.”


    Tobias was quick to get to the bottom of it. However, Skr didn’t expect that it was Hayden behind it.


    He went through all these troubles just to give me a hard time and humiliate me. That’s a little too


    extreme.
