Chapter 714
I rushed to ATL Empire, but before I could make a call, Atlas was already waiting downstairs.
Atlas instructed me to hand the car over to his assistant, and then he led me to his car. I quickly asked, “Did you meet with Mr. Anson today?”
“Yeah, I did,” he responded. “He needed to probe around a bit before making a judgment.”
Atlas shared the details, saying, “But Mr. Anson also mentioned that they have a cooperative relationship with one of the forces in Bermuda. They need to investigate to confirm. If it’s not them, things can proceed smoothly, and they can handle the matter.”
“What if it’s the opposite?” I looked at him with some concern.
He calmly said, “Even if it’s the opposite, everyone will intensify their cooperation. It’s just a matter of interest.”
“Intensify cooperation? Do you want to cooperate with them closely?” I looked at Atlas with a bit of worry. “You know that Jared is weakening the collaboration with the Huffman family. You can’t have too close cooperation with them.”
He looked at me, smiling. “Are you worried about me?”
I raised my hand and patted his leg. “What do you think?”
He embraced me, solemnly saying, “Rest assured, my wife!”
My face turned red, and I glanced at him. “Wife?”
“Isn’t that right?” He smirked and then said seriously, “Our cooperation philosophy is different. I won’t touch anything on the edge, but they also have a lot of businesses I can cooperate with. So, gradually monopolizing these projects is like monopolizing their influence. Get it?”
I stared at him in a daze, thinking about his words. Deep down, I understood that Atlas would not easily let himself fall into a swamp.
“Don’t worry, I have boundaries.” He patted my shoulder to reassure me.
“On your end, after the official signing of Phase Two of Avalon Hills, Bourdamun’s new district should start construction.” Atlas urged me. “Do you have any other ideas?”
“Everything is prepared, and I’ve already informed Bourdamun’s project team!” I reported to him.
“On Noah’s end, we’ve dealt with the father and son of the Terrell family. This was also the intention from above, afraid that the remnants of the Terrell family might cause trouble. So, we’ve buffered it a bit. We’ve been ready here for a while.”
Talking about Bourdamun, it had
been turned upside down recently due to the Terrell family’s incident It implicated quite a few people. To construct the new district, Noah’s most crucial task recently was to uproot it.
The Austier Agency launched an instant report, and if it weren’t for the incident involving Lauren and me, I would be traveling back and forth from Bourdamun around this time. After assigning this task to Grayson, I haven’t visited Bourdamun much.
Back at Pleca Park, everything was quiet except for the dreamlike landscape lights in the garden. It transformed the entire area into a fairytale, both surreal and beautiful. Inside, it was also quiet. It seemed like everyone had gone to bed.
I quietly entered Ava’s room and saw Rose there, too.
“Grandma Rose, why haven’t you slept yet?” I was a bit surprised. She should have been in bed at this time.
“Ava seems a bit sick today, and I was worried she might have a fever. So, I came to check on her.” She looked at me. “Why are you home so late?”
I quickly walked over, touched Ava’s forehead, and touched mine. “She seems fine.”
“That’s good.” Rose breathed a sigh of relief.
“We signed the contract for Phase
Two of Avalon Hills today, and everything is settled. We even had a small-celebration feast for the team. Everyone’s happy, so we had a meal together,” I whispered.
“That’s good. It looks quite promising. I heard that Phase Two of Avalon Hills is much larger than Phase 1.” Rose was truly sharp, not letting anything slip by. “Yes! If we talk about actual living space, it’s no less than the new district in Bourdamun.”
“When will construction start in Bourdamun?” Rose asked.
“Very soon! It was delayed because of the aftermath of the Terrell family,” I told Rose. “Now that the Terrell family’s matter has been settled, I believe it will start soon.”
Rose pondered for a moment and
then asked, “The Terrell family’s advisor, Denton Shaw, is the strategist for the Terrell family. Although the remaining members of the Terrell family have been
punished, we can’t ignore this person.”
Denton Shaw?
This name entered my mind for the first time, making my heart sink for some reason.
