Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 149

Samuel looked at her meaningfully. “The owners of these two lands have not been found so far.”

Kathleen was surprised. “How can work be done if the owners are not found? Do you just go around it?”

“We can't, as this is the main building of Horington,” explained Samuel.

“Then how can this project proceed? Both the Morris family and the Corbyn family are competing for these lands. Could it be that they have a way to solve this issue?” Kathleen frowned.

“You think too highly of them,” Samuel replied coldly.

Shocked, Kathleen frowned and asked, “That means they want these lands to be unrecognized, so they can treat them as abandoned places and build Horington?”

Samuel nodded.

“Then why are you stopping them?” She

was curious.

No matter who owns those lands, I wonder why Samuel is stopping it since he is not interested in that project. He may also offend the Morris family and the Corbyn family by doing so.

“Do you know what's underneath these lands?” he asked in a cold voice.

“I have no idea.” Kathleen shook her head.

“Gold. Horington plans to bulldoze these two mountains and build a new town to expand Lightspring. I approached Olivia back then because I found out that these two mountains are gold mines. Although they are mines, no one is doing the mining here,” Samuel said in his baritonal voice.

“Wait! You mean that the Morris family and the Corbyn family care about the mines, but not the development of Horington?” Kathleen was stunned.

“You're partially right. Simply put, at least two billion is needed to invest in Herington's development. It's hard for a company to come up with that much money. Its construction would take at least three years. If the funds break down within these three years, Horington and the company will get into trouble. However, this big problem can be solved if they have these mines in their hands.” Samuel looked sideways at her.

“They're too bold. Mining requires a lot of documents.” Kathleen knitted her brows.

Looking at her fair face, he asked, “With their abilities, do you think the authorities will not approve?”

Kathleen was startled upon hearing that.

Samuel is right.

“You still haven't explained why you're stopping it.” Kathleen was shocked.

“The idea of leveling these mountains and building a new town was originally proposed by me. However, something went wrong during that period, and the authorities decided to build Horington here,” he responded with a smile.

“Are you trying to bring this Horington project to a halt and make it yours?” she asked slyly.

Samuel nodded his head.

Businessmen are indeed all treacherous.

“Do you think I'm bad?” He raised his eyebrows.

She shook her head and answered, “You have the essence of a businessman.”

Staring at her, he said, “Huh! Christopher is bound to get this Horington project. He is fond of these mines and even wants to ignore the ownership of these two mountains so that he can do mining here.

Is he a good guy by doing so?”

“I know I'm not in a position to criticize any of you on this matter. So, you got Olivia to tell the authorities that the ground of these two mountains is soft and not suitable to build a city?” Kathleen asked solemnly.

Samuel turned on the computer. “This is the futuristic city, Flobury, that I designed.”

Kathleen looked at the drawing of the city designed by Samuel. He planned to avoid the two mountains and have them as part of the town.

“I had Olivia check it out. As long as we avoid the mountains, the geological structure of this place will remain unchanged. Otherwise, we'll let them mine first and then build the city. Of course, by doing this, the construction period will be extended,” explained Samuel.
