b“/bbShe’s /bEthan’s secretary,” he rified, giving a quick wink.

David caught on right baway/bb, /band with that, most of his doubts faded.

With the government bringing up demolition againtely, various businessmen have been appearing in their town. From the moment he saw them, David figured that Vincent looked the most like a breal /bfruit buyer out of the threeb. /b

Now that he heard the exnation, it all checked out.

David had witnessed many wealthy kids leaving to make their bway /bin the world, always apanied by a pretty girl.

“Alright, let’s head inside and talk. bIt’s /btoo hot out here. Ethan, go grab some watermelon,” David said.

Even though the three of them bwere /bjust pretending to be fruit buyersb, /bVincent bwas /bsharp bas /bever. With his broad knowledge, he chatted with David without letting anything slip.

Bowen, who just listened quietly and exchanged nces with Aubree every now and then, fit the bpart /bperfectly–he was bjust /ba wealthy kid who didn’t really know the business but bwas /btagging along for the ride.

On the other hand, David bwas /bpletely convinced by Vincent’s story. Bowen and Aubree bwere /bboth attractive and had charming personalities, addressing him bas /b“Mr. Molina” right from the start. With Vincent’s smooth and charismatic demeanor, he knew exactly how to tter people in just the right way.

David’s opinion of the three of them continued to brise/bb. /bAs the sun started to set, he called out, “Jillian, make some extra dishes tonight.”

b“/bIt’s gettingte, and I’ll make the call. The three bof /bbyou /bstay for dinner, and I will show you the orchard and the fruits tomorrow,” he added.

As the trio hade bhere /bbto /bgather more information, staying here was just what they wanted. After a round of polite refusals, they couldn’t refuse David’s hospitality and ended up staying for dinner.

Meanwhile, Carmen had slipped out early to head back to the hotel and change. Armed with whatever intel they’d picked up, the other junior managers from Wilson Group and the Diamonde Group made a beeline straight for the chief’s house.

Aubree had no idea what exactly went down bas /bshe was unwinding at the Molina family’s ce, munching on fruit with the AC sting. She only heard about it from Vincentter.

Vincent said, barely holding bback /bhisughter, “Ms. Miller, you won’t believe thisb! /bThe Wilson Group and the Diamonde Group embarrassed themselves. They marched straight over to the chief’s ce to negotiate. But, guess what happened next?

“Not only did they all bget /bkicked out, but some vigers who got wind of bit /bshowed up with buckets bof /bmanure and gave them a good dousing. I heard the stench bwas /bbso /bfoul that one could smell it from miles away.

“If they drove back like that, those bcars /bbare /bprobably done for.

“But hey, Wilson Group and the Diamonde Group bare /bfilthy rich, and I bet they won’t even blink at losing a couple of carsb.” /b

Vincent couldn’t even bother to hide how much he was enjoying their misfortune.

He thought, ‘Back bat /bthe vige entrance, Carmen was making fun of youb, /bMs. Miller. Well, look at her now! I guess karma ?ame for her quick, huh? After ba /bmomentb, /bVincent put on ba /bmock–regretful bface /bbas /bhemented, “What ba /bshame that Carmen left early, and she totally bdodged /ba bullet. “They stumbled out of the gate, but you bcan /bbet they’ll switch up their bapproach /bsoon. Plus, I heard that Bryan should be heading over from Rithol City.

Now that the entire situation involving Trevor was basically resolved, Bryan didn’t have to worry about the small details anymore. He had assistants and secretaries to handle all the follow–up.

Aubree couldn’t help but smile. Seeing the Wilson and Diamonde families bget /bknocked down a peg was pretty satisfying.

Before longb, /bbit /bbwas /btime for dinner, and the Molina family hadid out a feast.

bAs /beveryone sat downb, /bAubree took a look around the table. Ethan had mentioned the Molina family had both a son and ba /bdaughter.

Noticing that the daughter was nowhere to be bseen/b, Aubree nced at Bowen, and they exchanged ba /blook.

“Where’s Millie?b” /bDavid asked with a frown.

The Molina family was as traditional as theye, and as the bhead /bof the household, he bmade /ball the decisions. The bchildren/bb, /bbespecially /bMillic,

were expected to be by their bparents/b‘ side. For a girl like her, not attending dinner without a valid reason was entirely out of the question.

This was even more uneptable, especially when they had bguests /bin the houseb. /b

b*/bMillie went out this afternoon. She said she bwas /bgoing bto /bbsee /bSamuel. Perhaps bshe’s /bhaving dinner at the chief’s bce/bb,/bb” /bJillian exined.

Upon hearing this, David’s face turned cold immediately.
