The bidding for Astral Garden was undoubtedly won by the Yards.
The next day after the successful bidding, Yard Group announced the start of its development.
In the dining room, Nibel watched Yard Group’s official announcement on the tablet with an obvious smile on his mouth. He then put down the tablet and looked at me. "They’re too high-profile. I don't like it. I still prefer you, who do big things without saying a word.”
I took a sip of my drink and shook my head lightly. "You flatter me. I have to thank you for your help in our bid for North Courts.”
Hearing this, Nibel spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. “I didn't do anything. I just distributed a few messages. It was all planned by you,” he said casually.
"Those messages were not only spread throughout Whaldorf City but also became a hot topic abroad. You’ve helped us a lot, Nibel."
Nibel raised his eyes to look at me before suddenly approaching me. "Miss Wanda, I think you should go star in a movie. You’ll definitely be popular. Who would have thought that losing to the Yards would be part of your plan?”
I let out a chuckle. I said nothing and just nibbled on my food quietly.
Nibel was right. I deliberately lost to the Yards to get the development rights of North Courts’ land. It had been a well-planned drama from the beginning to the end.
The Yards had been telling me since the very beginning that Silas would win North Courts. I knew they were pretending and was well aware that Silas had his eyes on Astral Garden ever since the start. I also knew that Silas was aware of my plans for him. In order to better complete my plans later on for defeating the Yards in the future, I went along with the situation and deliberately staged the drama that had occurred at the bidding in front of Silas. I kept Shannon and Tyler in the dark so that everything would look more real.
Those who knew the whole story were me, Nibel, and Marius.
I looked up and saw that Marius had already appeared. He saw Nibel and me and walked up to us slowly with a smile on his face. "Why didn't you wait for me to start eating?"
