"Have you guys never heard that it's bad to gossip?" someone said from behind. When both men turned around, they were startled. It was Remus.Lotus Corp has just gotten their license and started their company today. How could he have the time to show up at the auction? Remus sat behind them and concisely said, "You're Skylar Stuart, right? You should know speaking badly about others behind their backs is inappropriate. If you're clueless about that, I would advise you to take a look at your son!"Hearing him mention this, Skylar was mad. The mark on his son's face was still there!Then, Skylar laughed. "Mr. Cosby, how impressive. Even though it's the Lotus Corp's opening day, you still made it to the auction. You must be anxious to prove yourself to Miss Lotus!""Of course, a man should prioritize business!" Remus leaned back.Everyone in the hall quieted down and had disdain in their eyes. How dare a scoundrel who got here purely out of luck talk about business? Elias frowned a
“First of all, Lotus Corp’s positioning is as an investment company. To put it simply, if the other party can give us a feasibility report and they match our company development strategies, we can provide them with funds. For future development, I plan to focus on properties for now…” Remus explained each of the questions and was very detailed. Meanwhile, everyone’s expressions soured the more he spoke. Each word Remus said made them more and more nervous. According to public knowledge, Remus had only come out of prison after serving his three-year sentence. Why did they feel enlightened after hearing him explain? He seemed to be more knowledgeable than them on this topic.When Remus was done explaining, he smiled at Skylar. “Mr. Stuart, you can kneel and bark now. But, please be loud as I’ve been having some problems with my ear lately.”Everyone in the hall was quiet. Skylar was so shocked, he could feel a buzzing in his head. At that point, he had lost all ability to think. How
The host of the auction stepped onto the stage. Seeing this, everyone quickly turned their attention toward the stage. Skylar wanted to say something, but the people in charge had already arrived, so he could only hold back and sit down.Then, the host explained the 140 plots of land and the benefits of developing it. Finally, he announced, "The auction will officially begin with a starting price of 60 million dollars!""70 million dollars!""80 million dollars!""90 million dollars!"One after another, everyone raised their paddles. This land could be used for real estate development. Once the development was completed, it could be sold for at least one billion dollars."200 million dollars!" Elias raised his paddle. He had to get this piece of land."500 million dollars!" Remus' voice sounded again. Hearing this price, everyone was silent. That bid was too high, and it messed everything up."That's too high of a bid, Mr. Cosby!" Naomi quickly reminded him. 500 million was jus
Kylie was furious when she heard this. He was a criminal who got out of prison. Without his good luck, no one would ever have hired him. Yet, he thought she was annoying him? She unhappily replied, "You really have a massive ego. One day, you'll definitely be begging me instead. When that time comes, don't ever forget how you treated me today!" There was no way Miranda would marry him, and Jean would also abandon him one day. At that point, he would be nothing. Remus didn't bother to answer her. Instead, he turned around and left."You…" Kylie was so angry that she was speechless. Why was he acting like this? If she hadn't asked Ben to save him yesterday, he would have been beaten to death by the Dragon Head. He was such a traitorous and ungrateful brat. If she had known, she wouldn't have saved him.She quickly ran in front of him."Stop right there!" Kylie said angrily. "I came to see you for two reasons. First, I want you to forgive Mr. Lawson and not retaliate against him. S
“Fool!” Remus said.“What did you say?” Ben was furious. How dare he curse him!“Calm down, Mr. Stuart.” Kylie hurriedly stopped him. Although Remus was unbearable to deal with, she couldn’t let him cause trouble. He had a reputation now, and he might lose it in the future.However, Ben was different. He was the heir of Sky Group, and that would never change.She turned and scolded him. “Remus, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Stuart. Do you know that he was the one who saved you at Draculus Court yesterday? He’s your savior. Don’t be ungrateful and apologize.” After she spoke, she kept giving him a look.“He saved me, you say?” Remus looked at Ben, amused.Ben was initially aggressive, but when he heard this, he felt a little guilty.However, Kylie didn’t notice, and continued, “Why else do you think the Dragon Head would let you go? Mr. Stuart personally went to see him! Hurry up and apologize! This is for your own good, do you understand?”Without any warning, Remus slapped Ben
When Ben walked in, Skylar regained consciousness. He was panting heavily on the chair. Yet, his anger had not subsided! Remus had him kneel in front of everyone. Also, Skylar had spent 1.3 billion dollars on buying a piece of land. He had lost both his dignity and money!"How are you, Dad?" Ben rushed in, worried. Skylar waved his hand. He wasn't in the mood to look at his son now. He slowly got up, clasped his hands together, and said, "Everyone, I'm pretty sure you saw what happened just now, so I'm not going to hold myself back. I want to ask if any of you would like to develop this piece of land with me!"The conference hall was completely silent. Everyone looked at Skylar as if he was a fool. This piece of land was worth about seven billion dollars at the most. Any more than that, and it wasn't worth it anymore. Now that he spent 1.3 billion dollars on it, any investors in the project would just lose money. Only a fool would do that!"I'm glad to see that you’re better now,
Max and Frank were both stunned by her attitude. At the same time, they both frowned, feeling like something was amiss. Jean didn’t explain further and said directly, “Uncle Frank, Uncle Max, you two must be busy. You’re carrying the burdens and hopes of the people, so don’t waste your time on me.”The two of them looked at each other, shaking their heads and sighing.Max stood up and said seriously, ”Remember, you must never harm others, but you should always be on guard. Remus has been to prison!”Frank also instructed, “If you notice something off about him, contact me immediately. I’ll handle him!”As soon as they were done talking, the door opened. Remus walked in. Acting as if he had just found out they were here, he said in surprise, “Oh? You guys are here. I wanted to see you. Yesterday, I forgot to tell you guys that the medicine I gave you will have some side effects, and your condition will become more serious than before!”The two men were a little confused. Why was
Seeing his reaction, Jean smiled. Remus was getting more and more interesting. He could even face Max and Frank without fear, yet he was so nervous when she teased him.Then, she bit her lip and asked, “Don’t tell me you’re still an innocent young man?”Embarrassed, Remus cursed Master Tyson in his heart. If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t even be here. Unable to hear another word from her, Remus shook her hand away. He quickly sat on the sofa, and said solemnly, “Sit down, Jean. I have something to say!”He was going to put all the chips down. If she approved, they would get married. If not, they would break it off.Baffled by his attitude, Jean asked after thinking, “You want to know why I came to Neptuna and why this concerns my entire life?”He must have been acting like this because he overheard the conversation.“Why?” Remus was indeed curious. But he disliked poking his nose into people’s secrets. If Jean hadn’t brought it up, he wouldn’t have asked.“Well…” Jean sighed.
