Chapter 515 Unless We Share Life and Death
Xander was silent for a few seconds. "Are you free now? Come to Summitview Manor."
Since this issue concerned Samuel, Grace naturally didn't dare to neglect it. So she agreed andwent to Summitview Manor.
She had gradually become familiar with the way there.
To her surprise, Xander was waiting by the gate before she even drove up to the manor's entrance.He stood under the gentle glow of the street lamp, dressed in a white shirt and black pants.
"Xander, why did you come out? I could have found my own way in."
He smiled. "It's dark out, so I felt uneasy. I'll only be at ease if I come to get you myself."
He was so considerate that it warmed her heart.
In the living room, he handed Grace several documents.
"This is a copy of the contract signed between Landon Group and the government. The fundsmentioned here are far greater than the cash flow Landon Group can produce."
She looked through it and asked, "Do you think something is amiss here?"
"Yes. I asked someone to check the source of the funds in Jessica's account. Director Walker gaveher the money."
"So they're working together!"
Grace sneered and shook her head. "They're so obsessed with real estate. Weren't they afraid oflosing money when they invested so much in it?"
He smiled. "The new area in Eastwood has been the highlight of Pamore in the last few years. Theaim was to attract more talent to live in the city and accelerate urban development.
"Jessica and Director Walker dared to invest so much money because they've recognized this."
"But ..."
She couldn't explain why, but she had always thought that it would be difficult to make a big profitfrom this.
"Xander, we're all businesspeople. You should know that urban development in the past few yearshas been approaching saturation. Real estate crashes aren't uncommon."
He nodded in agreement. "When a gambler puts all his wealth on the line, there is no turning back."
"What do you mean? Do you have other information?"
He smiled lightly and calmly. "An insider told me that the person in charge of the Eastwood land is areal gambler."
Her eyes lit up. "When a gambler meets a gambler, things won't end well for either of them!"
"That's right. Let's just wait and see."
After listening to Xander, Grace felt relieved. She went closer to him, hugged his arm, and saidcoquettishly, "Xander, your source of information is faster than mine. Are there any contacts you canshare with me?"
Seeing the cunning look in Grace's eyes, Xander tapped her forehead. "You always want to poachmy people."
"I'm just curious!"
"Not everyone can know my information channels. Unless ..."
She listened carefully. "Unless what?"
"Unless that person shares life and death with me."
He played with her long black hair and looked at her.
She felt like his words had struck her heart. His eyes were full of aggression and possessiveness.Xander's ambition got to her, making her body weak.
"Life and death?"novelbin
He stared at her and nodded.
She couldn't help but clench her fingers. She said softly, "I do."
Upon hearing that, he frowned slightly, as if he hadn't expected this answer. He hesitated andlooked away, feeling flustered.
"It's getting late. I'll ask the driver to drop you home."
Grace subconsciously reached out to him, but he had already stood up and left. He walked to thefloor-to-ceiling windows, undid a button on his collar, and took a deep breath.
