Female Novel
Chapter 699
Seeing the seriousness in Mark's eyes, Helen swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
After all, she and Vicky had agreed after much discussion that it had to be a factory.
The land was flat, and with that river, it was a god-given treasure for an industrial zone.
And no one ever lost money when it came to industrial zones, though one could not say the same for a farm.
Seeing her hesitation, Mark frowned in annoyance. "Are you going to build a factory here too?"
"No." Helen quickly denied it, while her mind quickly searched for options.
It was obvious that Mark cherished his farm and refused to build factories that would pollute the natural goodness here.However, the problem was that farms were really not profitable, and they might end up losing a lot more.
If that happened, forget Mark crediting Helen's abilities—all she would receive in turn was disappointment and a huge debt. Shewould certainly not be considered a candidate for the next head of the Lane family while she loses all her money, losing morethan what she bargained for like Jade had said earlier.
It was only now that Frank understood why the Southstream Lanes were perfectly calm giving up the farm from the start—itreally was a money sink.
And Mark's refusal to compromise only makes things worse.
“Hehe... Helen, don't think you can put on airs now," Fleur chuckled, not forgetting to mock Helen just then since she held a bittergrudge against Helen. "Did you think we'd consider passing you the farm if it was that easy to manage? Dream on!"
"I'll be frank, Helen," Mark said, frowning. "I've worked on this farm for a long time, and | wouldn't pass it to anyone if it wasn't formy age catching up to me. If you want to take it, you must promise me that you won't build a factory."
Pausing, he then added, "Also, I've been thinking about retiring as head of the family. You have one quarter's time, Helen—makea profit with this farm, even earning the starting cost, and I'll appoint you the next head of the Lane family! Can you do it?"novelbin
Helen was hesitant as she saw the gleam in Mark's eyes.
That was when Vicky strode forward, beaming as she answered in Helen's stead, "Don't worry, Mr. Lane. With Helen and |brainstorming together, we can make a profit with this farm in a quarter—no, in just two months!"
Mark laughed, seeing how confident Vicky was. "Very well! | shall pass all rights to this farm to you ladies. Naturally, we shouldhave this down in writing.”
Mark then beckoned for Gavin to

Hahaha..."Mark was laughing as he left, leaving everyone trading looks.“A jolly old man, isn't he?" Vicky smiled, watching as Mark left.
