Pearl burst out laughing. “Alright, I don’t have plans today anyway.”
They then called Chet to schedule a meeting.
Chet was still a little wary and distrustful of Richard due to the recent deception involving Waldorf
Enterprises. However,
when he heard that Pearl wanted to meet him, his eyes lit up.
This beautiful woman… How nice it would be if he could get his hands on her.
Before Pearl could say anything, Chet eagerly agreed to the meeting.
In a private room at the restaurant, Chet noticed Pearl sitting not too far away and couldn’t take his
eyes off her.
“Miss Pearl. How can I help you today? Have you finally realized you need my help?” Chet said as he
reached out his hand
towards Pearl.
Pearl skillfully evaded his attempt and smiled. “Let’s discuss business matters first before we move on
to other topics.”
Chet’s heart raced as he heard her sultry voice. He quickly nodded. “Of course, let’s talk business first
before anything else.” novelbin
“I’d like to have a proper discussion with you regarding the plot of land,” Pearl said with a slight pout,
appearing somewhat reluctant. “We’re no longer interested in it. Do you think it’s possible for us to
cancel the agreement?”
Chet hesitated because he didn’t expect Pearl to skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point.
“Why do you no longer want it? Is there an issue with the land?”
“There’s a gold mine beneath that piece of land, and since we’re not in the mining business, we thought
it would be best to return it to you.”
Chet’s eyes went wide. “A gold mine?” Why hadn’t he been informed of this? He had personally
inspected the geological reports, and the land was deemed unsuitable for development.
Pearl widened her eyes and looked helpless. “Yes, weren’t you aware? We can’t construct anything on
it because of the substantial gold deposits. It would disrupt our operations… Why didn’t the surveyor
inform you of this?”
Pearl’s acting skills were so convincing that Chet began to worry. If there really was gold on that land,
he would miss out on a huge profit. However, if Pearl had deceived them, it would be too late once they
signed the agreement.
“Then… Can I check the geological records first? If it’s true, I’ll buy the land back.”
Pearl smiled. “That wouldn’t be fair, Mister Chet. We were the ones who discovered the gold mine, so
the land rightfully belongs to us now. With a gold mine present, it only makes sense for the land’s value
to increase, don’t you think?”
“Why would that be?” Chet took a deep breath because he hadn’t anticipated Pearl to be such a tough
negotiator. Not only was she not someone he could intimidate, but she was also attempting to
outmaneuver him.
Pearl continued to smile. “You’ve been in this industry for several decades, so you should be well-
versed in land laws.”
“Although I admire you, Miss Pearl, I cannot agree to this. The land originally belonged to us, and I’m
simply taking back what is rightfully ours. How did it suddenly become yours?”
Pearl leaned back and tilted her head at Richard, “Mister Richard, I believe it’s best for us to forget
about this.”
