Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 270

In Marilyn's opinion, the entire real estate industry was lucrative.

Edmund smiled and said, "Miss, you might not believe me if I tell you the truth."

Marilyn also smiled, "Call me Lynn. 'Miss' makes me feel very uncomfortable, and I want to call you Edmund."

Edmund was slightly stunned and replied kindly, "Alright, Lynn."

Marilyn said, "Then tell me, Edmund! I will believe whatever you tell me!"

"Great! Then the truth is that your father cares about the unity of buildings and the surroundings very much. He wants his buildings to be harmonious and comfortable for the residents, the building itself, and the nearby environment.

Do you know why there aren't buildings more than ten stories tall along Lakeside District?"

It was surprising and fresh for Marilyn. She asked curiously, "Because it will make the whole thing not harmonious and balanced enough?"

Edmund answered, "Sort of. It's an open secret for those who are familiar with real estate. However, Mrs. Remington is still a layperson. I don't think she knows about those matters. Otherwise, she wouldn't buy that piece of land.

So did the former buyer of that land. Fortunately, the former buyer had Mrs. Remington. She bought the land, and he managed to deal with a hot potato.

If Mrs. Remington wants to build residential buildings, they can also exceed ten stories."

Marilyn asked, "But why? I've never heard such a rule before."

Edmund smiled and answered, "Behind that piece of land is the Fortune Palace. Chriscia's government asks the landowner not to construct buildings over ten stories. To sell that land out, the seller hid a lot of information.

But your father is different from Mrs. Remington. He has been in the real estate industry since his teens. He knows this industry very well."

Marilyn frowned and asked, "But... what does this have to do with the Fortune Palace?

"Remember what I have just mentioned? Balance and harmony."

Marilyn finally understood. The unity of buildings and the surroundings was important, and buildings over ten stories would break the unity.

In addition, centering on the Fortune Palace, there had formed a large scenic spot. That was why Denise's night fair was so popular.

Edmund added, "So this time, Mrs. Remington might lose a lot of money!"

Marilyn felt complex.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, Edmund. I have gained a lot on buildings and land."

Marilyn thought, "Will the Remington family lose a lot of money?

But haughty as Mrs. Remington, will she allow herself to suffer such a strike?"

Edmund said, "Lynn, every industry has its secret that lay people will never know. Meeting your father will not change that fact.

Your father has been very busy these days. He wants a piece of land in the eastern city, which is perfect as a residential area.

Your father is going to build a unique villa there. Do you know who it is for?"

Marilyn was stunned a little and answered with a smile, "For mom, right?"

Edmund smiled and didn't say anything. He thought he should keep it a secret and a surprise.

Marilyn also smiled and thought, "Dad loves mom so much!"

Marilyn was happy for her mother's happiness.

Malcolm and Julian had been busy all day. They wanted to go home for some rest, but Debbie called them. So the two of them drove back to the company.

In the spacious and bright office on the twenty-fifth floor.

Malcolm, Julian, Jacob, Debbie, Velma, Terence, and Sergio were all there.

Malcolm called Terence because he knew Debbie's purpose.

The six of them sat face to face, and Sergio made each of them a cup of coffee.

Debbie looked at the exhausted Malcolm and felt slightly distressed.

She had heard about the Chambers family.

She also knew that Marilyn was more than important to Malcolm.

Debbie somehow felt her son-in-law was robbed by others.

Malcolm had been ruthless. He ruined the Chambers family in just one night.

Thinking, Debbie smiled and said, "Malcolm, you look exhausted. Remember to take good care of yourself no matter how busy you are!"

Malcolm glanced at Debbie and answered, "Mrs. Remington, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Debbie was quite dissatisfied with Malcolm's indifferent tone.

"Malcolm, are you still angry about the thing that day? But I did it for you..."

"Mrs. Remington, that is my private matter." Malcolm interrupted Debbie with a distant tone. One thing Malcolm hated most was others meddling in his life.

Realizing the tension between Malcolm and Debbie, Jacob said, "Malcolm, sorry for bothering you. We are to talk about cooperation with you. You know the land we've bought in the Lakeside District, right?

We need to start funds. We think it's lucrative, so we want to seek cooperation with you. We've tried to set up businesses with some other companies, but they all denied us."

Malcolm knew why those people came, so he was not surprised.

He looked at Terence.

Terence frowned and said, "Mrs. Remington, it's a crucial matter. We have investigated that land. Before you, it had three buyers. When you bought it, the price was far higher than the original one.

Have you thought about one thing before you bought it?

Debbie became nervous and asked, "What?"

Debbie bought that piece of land because of the introduction of her friend.

That friend had brought Debbie many successful investments, so Debbie trusted her.

"Mrs. Remington, Mr. Greer owns many pieces of land around and in the Lakeside District, but he's never bought any land along that line.

I heard that he did this job when he was a teenager. If it can make money, he will buy it.

In the past two days, some insiders said that he bought a piece of land in the eastern city and was preparing to build a luxurious villa. It's a gift. Do you know who it is for?

Julian smiled and said, "His daughter?"

Malcolm glared at Julian. He wanted Julian to shut up.

Noticing Malcolm's cold gaze, Julian shut his mouth.

Debbie became anxious and asked, "Terence, can there be some other reason?"

Terence shook his head and said, "Mrs. Remington, it doesn't make sense. His night fair is just on the other side of the street. It's reasonable for him to buy the land beside the street. But he didn't. There must be a reason."

Debbie became more nervous and asked urgently, "Then do you know the reason?"

Terence shook his head and said, "Sorry, we don't know. We wanted to buy that place. But we gave up after the assessment. It was too expensive."

Debbie frowned and looked at him, "But Terence, according to the current market price, it's still lucrative!"

Only then did Malcolm ask, "Jacob, do you remember what I asked you that night?"
