Chapter 174 Are You Going to elope?
“I’m busy with the company’s affairs.” Eddie smiled and stroke Karlen’s head.
Eddie glanced at Hans.
After Hellen left, Hans took Xeno to the banquet hall. After attending Granny Thomas’s birthday banquet at noon, there was a banquet in the evening.
However, they left first.
Xeno followed closely behind Hans and asked curiously, “Why did you leave just like that? After the formal banquet, I heard a party would be held at night. Maybe Hellen will come out.”
Hans’s eyes were indifferent. “Haven’t I already congratulated Granny Thomas?”
“But you didn’t come here to celebrate Granny Thomas’s birthday, did you? Didn’t you come to see Hellen? She didn’t come out. Maybe she’ll-”
Before Xeno could finish his words, he saw a faint smile in Hans’s eyes.
“Why aren’t you in a hurry? Let me tell you, Eddie is in the Thomas Villa now. The Thomas Family is very polite to him. Maybe they have already regarded Eddie as Hellen’s boyfriend!”
“Hellen won’t be with him,” Hans said.
“How do you know?”
“Because she’s no longer in the Thomas Villa.”
“What?”
Xeno was stunned.
David drove the car out of the Thomas Villa. After a round, they arrived at the back door of the Thomas Villa.
At this moment, the courtyard was lively but quiet at the back door.
From a distance, Hans saw that familiar figure.
Off to the side, Xeno was amused to see her as well. “Are you planning to elope?”
Hellen was just opening the door and getting in the car. Hearing this, he glared at Xeno.
Hellen turned to look at Hans. “Are the things I asked you to prepare ready?”
Hans smiled and said, “I’m almost ready.”
“Alright.” Hellen’s smile had a hint of sternness in it. “Then let’s go look at the land my uncle bought!”
There were many mountain ranges around Hail City, a famous tourist city.
Hans’s car quickly arrived at the border of the land.
Several people were setting up a checkpoint beside the main road at the edge.
Hellen and Hans got out of the car and another off-road vehicle.
Somehow, Xeno got out of the car and wanted to follow them.
Hans turned to look at him and said, “Go back first.”
“Where are you going?” Xeno asked curiously.
However, the car started after Hans and Hellen got into the off-road vehicle.
The two of them had abandoned Xeno?!
Xeno was shocked.
David said in the car beside them, “Mr. Williams, let me send you back.”
Xeno gritted his teeth and said, “Hans is hibernating Hellen!”
Hans held Hellen’s hand and stayed in the car for a long time. It was not until the sunset that they came back.
Hans sent Hellen back to the backdoor of the Thomas Villa. The two chatted in front of the door for a long time before Hellen returned.
Granny Thomas’s birthday party was a significant event in Hail City. Almost all the celebrities in the city were present, and the news of Leon causing trouble for the Thomas Family gradually spread.
Some secretly cursed Leon for his not morality, while others openly mocked him for being heartless.
However, the Collins Group swindled 4. 5 billion dollars from the Thomas Family, representing the rise of the Collins Group. In any case, there were more hospitable words than curses.
The atmosphere in the Thomas Family had been getting worse over the past few days.
Hellen could sense the exhaustion beneath the smiles of her uncle and auntie. Three days passed by in a flash.
At midnight, in the Collins’s house.
Leon wore a sinister expression in the living room as he unwaveringly stared at the man before him.
“How is this possible!”
“Why not?” The man’s voice was hoarse. “Mr. Collins, didn’t you see Granny Thomas’s birthday party that day? Miss Jovano sneaked out with Hans to that piece of land!”
Leon’s complexion turned a little pale.
“Really? Did you find it?”
“Yes, the value of that piece of land is at least ten times more than that!” The man said, “Mr. Collins, I’m just responsible for delivering the message. You still have the final say.”
Leon gritted his teeth. They had been relying on the Thomas Family since his father was young.
Since he was a child, his father had taught him that he should become friends with Palmer and win Joanna’s favor.
Leon had had enough of this sort of life where he had to rely on others!
Palmer, that good-for-nothing was not as dishonest as he was. He was lucky enough to be born into the Thomas Family!
Leon’s face darkened: “Let me think about it again!”
The man got up and left.
The next day.
All of a sudden, there was a piece of gossip in Hail City.
The land that the Thomas Family had bought due to the Collins Group’s scams had been jointly acquired by The Jovano Group and the Grant Group.
The Williams Group and the Lewis Group also wanted to participate, but they failed.
For a moment, everyone was a little stunned.
[That piece of land is bound to lose money. Are the Jovano Group and the Grant Group crazy?]
[Even if the Jovano family and Thomas Family are in-laws, this is not a small sum of money. Even half of the land would cost 22. 5 billion dollars!]
[What 22. 5 billion dollars? They offered 60 billion dollars to buy this piece of land from the Thomas Family!]
During the discussion, Leon finally understood.
Bullshit, the Williams Group, and the Lewis Group wanted to get involved but had failed. These two families had obviously been kicked out by The Jovano Group and the Grant Group!
What the man said was true!
This mountain range might be the largest gold mine in the country!
“The Jovano family, what great methods, even deceiving your uncle’s family!” Leon sat in the guest room with a gloomy expression. “That little girl, Hellen, has the face to ridicule me!”
Off to the side, Leon’s wife was sitting on the sofa, her eyes full of wisdom. “The Grant Group and the Jovano Group have been on equal footing in Tempe City for many years. Although the two families are rivals, other groups in Tempe City will not be able to stand out at all because of this relationship. This time, the cooperation between the two families must be true.”
“I know!” Leon raised his voice and gritted his teeth. “Hans will never do any charity!”
The gold mine was real!
The mere thought that the land was in his hands made Leon dizzy!
He had already sold this piece of land to the Thomas Family!
“Even if the Thomas Family wants to sell, they will definitely sell to his family!” Leon’s voice was trembling. He could be considered to have shed all pretenses of friendship with the Thomas Family.
Now, he finally understood why Hellen had said the Thomas Family would prosper once more!Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
This woman already knew the value of that piece of land!
To the side, Mrs. Collins got up, and her eyes flickered. “Honey, that’s not necessarily the case.”
“What do you mean?”
Mrs. Collins smiled mysteriously and cunningly as she said, “The Thomas Family doesn’t know the value of this land. Palmer has always been honest and kind. How could he be willing to let his relatives buy it?”
Leon was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: “That’s right, you’re right! I didn’t think there would be a vein of ore underground. Palmer definitely didn’t think there would be one!”
“Prepare gifts and contracts! I’ll go to the Thomas Family and apologize!”
