Chapter 125
In order to facilitate Balin City’s project, Jake invited Mayor Savor and his wife to y a round of golf at
the course in the western suburbs.
Usually a high-traffic spot with few guests, today it was more like a private affair, with only the Sawle
Group and Mayor Savor’s entourage present.
Aubree, with her graceful figure and light makeup, stood alongside her daughter Skyler, both wearing
pure white golf outfits. Despite herck of skill, her golf ball was still smashed, and the two of them
looked like sisters.
She brought Skyler over to have her confront Mayor Savor and his wife.
At twenty-five years old, Skyler was of marriageable age, and Aubree was not going to miss any
chance to further her daughter’s prospects. Even though she was aware that Skyler was in love with
Vincent, she couldn’t just sit back and do nothing, she had to cast her wide and focus on cultivating
potential suitors.
“Greetings, Mayor Savor and Mrs. Savor,” Skyler said, bowing gracefully with a gentle smile.
“Oh, this is your daughter, right? She looks even more beautiful in person than she does on TV!” Mrs.
Savor smiled at Skyler.
Aubree and her daughter’s expressions instantly stiffened.
The speaker had no intention, yet the listener was thoughtful, inferring that this was in reference to the
last time Skyler had held a press conference and apologized publicly.
“Apology Door” Despite it no longer being in vogue, there was still a rumor circting on the Infe
that Skyler had made a fool of herself. There were all kinds of words that could be likened to those of a
tiger and wolf not to mention how mortifying it was.
Mayor Savor coughed hurriedly and gave the madam a look.
Only then did Mrs. Savor react andugh dryly. “Haha… Madam Sawle, your daughter is truly a sight to
behold. I’d the cream of the crop when ites to the daughters of the wealthy and influential families
in Medo.”
“You are too kind, Mrs. Savor.”
“Why didn’t your son show up today? I heard earlier that your son is a gifted youngster and a ssmate
of Skyler’s.”
“Ah, my son has some matters to take care of today,” Mrs. Savor said.
“Aiyo, that’s too bad. I’ll make sure to set up a time for us to get together again soon” Aubree was very
considerate.
“Haha… When we get the chance, we’ll definitely meet up”
say she’s
“Oh right, doesn’t Madame Sawl have a younger daughter? Why isn’t she apanying you all?” Mrs.
Savor inquired. Skyler’s fake smile could no longer be maintained; it was clear that Madam Song didn’t
like her.
If Mrs. Savor didn’t like her, that was fine; however, mentioning Annie in her presence was like pping
her in the face, as if she were treating the mayor’s son as a mere dish.
Aubree could only politely say, “My younger daughter is frail and ailing. She usually takes medication at
home and is shy and doesn’t enjoy socializing, so she didn’t join us.”
“Oh my, what kind of sickness does she have at such a tender age? Is it serious?”
“It’s all good, she’ll be back to her old self after some rest and rxation.”
Aubree distinctly heard the sound of Mrs. Savor calcting in her heart, as she didn’t like Skyler and
desired to be inws with Sawle Group, thus aiming her sights on her younger daughter.
Did she think, my, Aubree’s daughter was like cabbages sold on street? What the hell!
Sawle Group and his son had yed a few rounds with Mayor Savor, and as they strolled leisurely on
the green grass, they chatted,
“Mayor Savor, we at the Sawle Group are grateful for your support in epting Balin City’s project.”
Jake smiled and shook hands with Mayor Savor.
“It’s not our first rodeo, Mayor Savor said affectionately, his tone conveying the long-standing friendship
he and Jake had shared for over a decade. “I’ve got a great project here. How could I not miss you?”
“Il sort it out tonight. Let’s have a toast, brothers]”
Tonight is my father-inw’s birthday, and as his son-inw, I’m obligated to be there for him throughout
the year, no matter how hectic my schedule may be. I must be present.”
“There’s no need to rush to celebrate once we’ve officially inked the contract on Friday. When the time
comes, we won’t be leaving until we’re good and tipsy!” Mayor Savor said with a smile.
As Joseph listened to the two conversing and chuckling, he kept a stoic face, yet his heart felt like a
heavy boulder was bearing down on it, and his breathing grewbored.
He had toplete this project before Friday.
Once the contract was signed, it became clear that the space he could operate in was too small to
settle the matter.
Even if he exposed Aubree’s actions, this matter would still be relegated to a domestic affair For the
sake of his family, Jake could not make any public appearances, so he had to keep this matter under
wraps.
He had to create such amotion that it could not be concealed, in order to force Aubree out.
The ferry car slowly pivoted and came to a halt in front of them.
“Mayor Savor, Director Sawle, how are you?”
A melodious and clear voice sounded, like a wind chime swaying in the breeze.
Joseph’s gaze suddenly shot up and, to his surprise, he saw that the woman in the car was Chloe!
Joseph’s heartstrings quivered, and a hidden warmth surged through his veins.
Yesterday, she had humiliated him as if he had been in pain, yet when he saw her again today, it was
as if his memories had. been restored, as if the previous day had been erased from his mind like
amnesia.
Everyone was stunned, and Skyler couldn’t help but exim, “How did you get in here?!”
Tm a VIP here, I can strode through the door with confidence. Chloe said lightly.
Skyler’s eyes were ame, and her cheeks reflexively flushed with pain.
After being thoroughly cleaned up by the woman that day, she now had PTSD when she saw her
slippers.
Aubree was equally shocked.
When Mrs. Savor looked at this beautiful youngdy, her eyes fixed straight ahead.
From where did this noble daughtere, with her aesthetic point of view? It was the ideal type for her
future daughter-inw!
Jordan exited the car first, taking the big miss’s hand in his, and guided her down.
-Today. Chloe was wearing a light blue golf suit, the white sun hat enhancing her beauty and charm.
Her slender and graceful
legs were entuated by the short skirt, which the wind moved, giving her a youthful look.
She had the unexpected illusion of wearing a matching outfit with Mr. Sawle, who was simrly
dressed.
Joseph’s eyes narrowed to slits, and a me of passion ignited in his heart.
Indeed, her beauty was so remarkable that it could not be singled out.
“What a coincidence, Miss Thorp!” Jake eximed, astonished. “I actually ran into you here.” He smiled
warmly in greeting though he was surprised too.
“It’s no mere chance, Director Sawle.”
Chloe put
her hands behind her back and narrowed her beautiful eyes. “I specifically came to see Mayor Savor.”
“What?” Jake suddenly furrowed his brow.
Joseph’s heart tightened, and his face, already as cold as a sculpture, grew even more frigid.
After a few exchanges, he finally grasped Chloe’s crafty and treacherous style of doing things.
Once she appeared, there would be no doubt that something big was about to ur; she wouldn’t
show up for no reason.
Could it be
“Mayor Sayor, I heard that you have assumed control of the Medo and Balin City project. You are
currently searching for a suitable developer partnership to seed”
“In highly intrigued by this project. I look forward to coborating with you, Mayor Savor, to construct
Balin City together.”

The Sawle Group and his wife’s minds were abuzz, leaving them at a loss for how to react for a while!
Mayor Savor, perplexed, gazed nkly at Jake, then shifted his gaze to Joseph
Joseph stared at Chloe without blinking, his throat burning and the tip of his tongue dry as a desert.
But this woman was so miserly that she wouldn’t even give him a nce.
“Miss, may I inquire as to your identity…” Mayor Savor was perplexed.
“Greetings, Mayor Savor. I’m Chloe Thorp,” she said, offering her delicate right hand with a smile.
When Mayor Savor first heard the unfamiliar name, his expression was one of contempt.
But the next second, she added with a smile, “Sea Gate, Chairman of the KS Group, Stefan – he’s my
father.”
