The Snider Group. 

Shane quickly walked into the office and reported the latest news, “Mr. Snider, Shadow Ventures contacted the media to investigate Riverstone’s Commercial Area. They hired a group of people to reminisce about its prosperous times. They launched an online poll and chose Riverstone’s Commercial Area as the most modern commercial city. To top it off, they bought many fake online reviewers. 

“Currently, the widespread message calls for a fair and transparent bid for Riverstone’s Commercial Area. The media claims this is the only way it will become the most unique business.” 

Calvert had just ended a meeting. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said coldly, “A fair bid? Fair and transparent? Do they think the bid can be won just like that?” 

He sneered. Shadow Ventures seemed quite confident. 

“Mr. Snider, currently, Shadow Ventures has also issued a call for everyone to apply to participate in Riverstone’s Commercial Area’s upcoming development and planning. Once applications are accepted, shares will immediately be divided.” Shane now felt that they had really underestimated Shadow Ventures. 

Calvert nodded and looked at Shane. “So, what plan have you come up with?” 

“Currently, we’ve chosen to deal with it conservatively. Shadow Ventures is successfully building momentum. If we adopt the same method, it will only play into our hands. We’re still improving the plan.” 

Shane paused and added, “The proposal has been sent to your email. In addition, the head of the National Therapy Centre in Bonver will arrive at Riverstone’s Commercial Area in the afternoon. He wants to meet you to discuss a partnership.” 

“The National Therapy Centre? I remember our meeting was scheduled for next Monday.” Calvert narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly. 

Before Shane could reply, Calvert frowned slightly and immediately relaxed. “I can meet him, but Riverstone’s Commercial Area is the priority.” 

“Shadow Ventures has a big client who is renewing his contract at an agreed time. Think of a way to mess it up. It’s best if they work with us directly.” Calvert opened his eyes and looked out of the floor–to–ceiling window. 

Shane was speechless. Calvert was really too concerned about this piece of land. He was treating it like the company’s grand project. 

The Turner family. 

“Baby, can you go shopping with me today?” Brooke knocked on Ash’s door. Seeing that the door was ajar, she stuck her head through the gap to look and realized the room was empty. Her daughter had long disappeared. 

Brooke was puzzled. She pushed the door open and looked everywhere. Then, she went to look on the balcony and confirmed that Ash was gone. 

‘Baby, where did Ash go?” Brooke went downstairs and bumped into Josh, who had just returned. “She was here at noon. How did she disappear again in the blink of an eye?” 

Josh was just passing by to pick up a document. When he heard Brooke’s voice, he looked up. “She has her own things to do. Don’t worry. Ash isn’t a child anymore.” 

When Brooke heard this, she could not help but feel a little sad. “Baby, why do you think she’s suddenly an adult? It wasn’t

easy for her to return home to us, and she will get married soon…” 

“Don’t think too much Our daughter will always be our little girl. It doesn’t matter if she’s married or not. Besides, oner twe families live quite close, so she can always come back every day to spend time with you Josh noticed his wife’s gloom and quickly put down the document in his hand. He approached her and put his arm around her shoulder to gently comfort her 

Brooke leaned into her husband’s arms. Her voice was gentle as she silently made up her mind. “I want to treat Ash twice as well in the future. I want to make up for everything that I’ve missed!” 

Someone sneezed nearby.
