Kate nodded slowly and said, "We don't have much to discuss. What was the outcome of the research you conducted concerning the land, Mr. Holmes?" the young lady asked politely.Roderick relaxed back in his seat and responded, "The results I found didn't show anything negative about the land. I advise that we should visit the auction to make a choice.""That's a good idea. We should get going now, as there are only a few minutes left before the auction begins," Kate advised. They wouldn't want to arrive late.Christina still wore a frown when Kate remembered something. "We now have a partnering company, and we should work hand in hand to make decisions that will help us achieve our goal for the project."Roderick nodded in agreement with her point.However, Christina was still trying to understand where her boss was heading until she heard her say, "Christie, reach out to the Santos Corporation to join us at Central Hall so we can make a choice together."This statement sounded unbelie

Christina's eyes widened in shock, and her jaw dropped to the floor as she couldn't lift it, hearing her boss's words.It was as though she had gone into a trance, repeating Kate's statement in her head a thousand times.She was utterly stunned and wondered if her boss knew what she was saying at all.The crowd was already bidding for the hotcake land, which would be the best parcel for their upcoming project. Yet, they hadn't made any move on the land.Meanwhile, the only reason her boss mentioned it was because Roderick Holmes knew more about the property.Who the fuck is Roderick?What the hell does he know about property?Unarguably, he knows nothing about business, nor does he have any knowledge about securing land properties.Why her boss was relying on such a person was what was giving her a serious headache at this time.Can't she even decide on her own business anymore? Why does she have to give all the power of decision-making to some novice?Christina couldn't let things be

The whole crowd was dumbfounded upon hearing that, especially the big four. They couldn't believe Roderick's ignorance had led him to find interest in a useless piece of land.They all laughed silently. In the end, they concluded that only a useless fellow would find value in a worthless parcel. It's very simple logic.What a pity!What a waste of resources!As for Christina, her head was buzzing with serious disgust and anger. She was gobsmacked and couldn't believe her ears that Roderick had gone for such a useless land. She wondered if Roderick even knew what he was saying at all.Did he just say he was interested in land on the outskirts of the city that serves no purpose?Christina tried hard to understand his intention in making such a request, but it was difficult for her. Was he trying to save face by purchasing any available land so they wouldn't return to the office empty-handed?Or was he just clueless about what kind of land they needed for the project and thought they cou

The crowd was dumbfounded by Roderick's remark. They couldn't imagine whether he knew what he was saying at all.If he called the land in Bellmore a waste of money, what would the useless land on Tuchel Avenue that he purchased be called? A total loss!The crowd couldn't withstand the nonsense.Meanwhile, the big four, who had been startled for a moment by Roderick's comment, suddenly burst into roaring laughter.They couldn't find any other reaction but to laugh. To them, Roderick was nothing but a clown.If not, why would he rubbish a highly potential land in a location like Bellmore? Was he trying to justify the waste he bought for ten million dollars?A thought came to Benjamin, and he laughed heartily before saying, "Roderick, it's understandable that you got a land with no future potential. Do you have to condemn highly profitable land in Bellmore because of your bad luck?"The crowd burst into another round of laughter as they understood Benjamin's stance. They thought Roderick

Kate was surprised by her secretary's remark. She wondered what motivated her to be so bold as to say such a thing without thinking deeply about it.She was amused that she hadn't even been able to win Roderick's heart, and here she was, demanding an end to their relationship.Did she even know what she was saying?She agreed with Kate not to cause a scene in the hall. Could that be the reason she brought the drama here instead?Kate couldn't hide her amusement. "What are you saying, Christie? Is your aim to embarrass the Bolton Group in public?"Even though that was never Christina's intention, the drama she was about to create wouldn't bring any honor to them but deep embarrassment.She was seriously annoyed by the matter at hand but tried hard to swallow her anger.Then, she replied in a mumble as she didn't want to be foolish and offend her boss."Don't get me wrong, Miss Bolton. I just want you to understand that since you have Roderick Holmes around, you haven't been focused on
