Chapter 185 Beautiful Women Are Vicious
On the other end of the line, Jonathan was convinced by Maria that she only wanted his money, so
he rxed his vignce. It was never toote for a man like him to take revenge. He believed that
there would be a chance that he would catch Maria and make her spit out the twenty million dors
in double.
"Okay, I will do my best to convince my wife. Ms. Song, I hope you will abide by the rules of the
game."
"Of course, Mr. Jiang. Thank you!"
"Not at all, Ms. Song. I''m busy, so I have to go. See you." Jonathan swore that he would never
touch Maria again.
He had proven that the more beautiful a woman was, the more vicious she would be.
After hanging up the phone, Maria couldn''t wait to ask James, "What are youughing at? Did I say
something funny?"
"You owe tens of millions of dors?"
"Oh, that..." Maria put her phone away and took her mug from his hand. "James, are you going to
pay it back for me?"
"No problem as long as you are willing to trade yourself with it."
Maria couldn''t help wondering what he took her for. She raised her mug, pretending to hit him. But
of course, she could only frighten him. She then sneered, "I don''t care about your stinky money. Get
out of here if there''s nothing else."
"Well, you were very happy when you received the money I transferred to your ount.”
Maria stopped and red at him. She tried to recall if she really acted so obvious at that time.
When James stood up and passed by her, he said, "It''s not right to say yes and mean no." He then
tidied up his suit, returned to his usual appearance, opened the door, and walked out.
Maria was left inside the room, speechless. She cursed in her heart, ''Son of a bitch!''
In YL Group, Jonathan sat in his office worriedly.
His secretary knocked on the door, entered, and reported to him, "Mr. Jiang, I''ve already sent
someone to investigate on thatnd. Two years ago, a smallpany won the bid for thatnd. But
now, thatpany is facing bankruptcy, so they are nning to sell thend to otherpanies."
''That''s why. Big shots are really big shots. James and Norman are sure well-informed,'' Jonathan
thought.
He wanted to make a quick move before James or Norman did something. "Ask them to prepare for
the bidding. Then go to the ce personally and inspect the surrounding environment. Bring a
surveyor with you to check the quality of the soil."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang," the secretary answered at once.
He then rushed to the location of thend. When he arrived there, he was surprised to see a
woman. He told the surveyor not to get out of the car first. He got out of the car and walked over to
the woman alone. "Good day, Summer," he greeted.
Summer turned around and saw the man who greeted her. Smiling a bit awkwardly, she asked,
"Fisher from YL Group, right?" It was James who asked her to wait here, saying someone from YL
Group woulde. Indeed, they really came.
"Yes, I am. How are you?" Fisher Feng looked quite friendly. "Why are you here, Summer?"
Summer deliberately put on a hesitant look. Then after a while, she pointed at the orphanage not far
away and said, "I brought some supplies to the children." She did deliver some supplies to the
orphanage. It was a part of James'' order.
Fisher studied her expression and mistakenly thought that HL Group really took a fancy to thisnd.
He believed that HL Group used the excuse of delivering supplies to the orphanage to investigate
thisnd. It was just that she was not willing to tell him the truth.
Summer then asked, "How about you? What are you doing here?"
Fisher smiled and replied, "Just like you, I''m here to give some donations to the orphanage."
"Fisher, you are such a kind-hearted person. Well, I won''t take so much of your time. Go ahead,
please," Summer said.
"Okay, I''ll leave now. See youter, Summer."
"Okay."
Since Fisher was forced to make an excuse of giving some donations to the orphanage, he called
Jonathan and told him about it. Of course, he didn''t want to use his own money to donate. Jonathan
said, "Donate one million dors under the name of YL Group."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang."
Summer was talking with someone on the phone when Fisher came back to the location of thend.
He happened to overhear her conversation. Summer said, "Once we get thisnd, we can develop
this. We can build some vis and even create an artificialke. This is a great prospect. A bright
future awaits thisnd."
Fisher got a little excited with what he heard.
"The day before yesterday, a feng shui master visited thisnd. He said that the feng shui here is
quite good. As long as the buildings will be built facing north with doors facing the south, it will bring
good luck,"
Summer continued talking on the phone as if she hadn''t known that Fisher hade back. Upon
hearing that even a feng shui master had already visited thend, Fisher got even more excited.
Summer got in the car while still talking on the phone.
And soon as she left, Fisher asked the surveyor to get out of the car to start exploring thend.
When he grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, he found out that it was hard enough to build
houses there.
While the surveyor was working, Fisher visited some residents nearby to investigate. He was told
that there was a n to construct some high-rise residential buildings, but they didn''t know why the
project had stopped.
''You don''t know why? Of course, because that smallpany doesn''t have the money to start the
construction,'' Fisher thought inwardly.
After examining thend, the surveyor said that there was no problem with the soil quality. It was
suitable for building construction.
Jonathan was so happy to know that thend had no problem in all aspects. Overwhelmed by joy,
he immediately called for a board meeting to discuss this matter.
Thend alone cost almost two billion dors. If they added it up to theirter investment, it would
cost more. Eventually, the board of directors agreed reluctantly.
Maria knew that Jonathan had totally taken the bait. So she arranged several more people to
spread the news until it reached Judy''s ears.
Over the years of being Mrs. Xi, Judy had gotten a lot of money in her hands and had done all kinds
of investment and financial management.
However, before she made any investment, she would always ask Lorenzo to ask for James''
opinion. If he agreed, she would believe in him and invest.
Judy heard about thatnd in the south of the city from her best friend. The profit of the project that
she had invested in previously was declining day by day. She had long wanted to change projects.
So after learning about thend, she immediately asked Lorenzo to ask James about it.
Lorenzo didn''t make her wait for too long. He took the time to ask James. "Excuse me, Mr. Xi. Many
companies in H City are currently taking a fancy to thatnd in the south of the city. Is ourpany
really interested in acquiring it?"
As he met James'' questioning gaze, he hurriedly exined, "I just casually asked because I heard
a lot of people talking about thatnd."
James nodded and answered, "Yes, I''m a little interested." No. Actually, he was forced to be
interested.
Lorenzo understood. "Okay, Mr. Xi."
As soon as Judy heard that James was also interested in thend, she immediately prepared fifty
million dors for the project. She then asked some people to find out whichpany was more
likely to win the bid so she could invest in them at once.
Several invisible hands were secretly pushing thend in the south of the city, making it extremely
popr in the business circle.
Right now, Maria was in the study in Fairview Vi, calmly looking at the calendar on her phone.
James'' birthday was approaching.
? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
If she had known it earlier, she wouldn''t have given him all the gifts she had bought for him in
France. She would have kept them until his birthday.
After finishing her work, Maria opened Weibo on herptop. Her post a few days ago about meeting
James was still on the top of the search list.
It already got millions of likes and hundreds of thousands ofments. Theizens were all
wondering how there could be such a handsome man in the world.
Maria sneered. She was also beautiful, so she couldn''t help wondering if theizens would also
wonder how there could be such beauty in the world. If she posted one of her photos using a
different ount, would she also get positivements?
''Forget it. I''d better not be so smug. If someone finds out that it''s my own ount one day, won''t
everyone in the world think that I''m narcissistic?'' she thought to herself.
She saw that someone in thement section mentioned Lawrence and Ethan unexpectedly.
