Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 64

"That was quick.” Luke spun around in his chair lazily.

Sydney closed the file in her hand and placed it to the side. "Invite him in."

"Yes," Sophie answered.

Soon, Brandon came in and looked at Sydney with his sharp eyes.

Sydney was used to confrontation in the workplace, so she was not nervous. She smiled faintly and gestured at him. "President Madden, have a seat."

"You look comfortable!" Brandon seemingly praised her and pulled the chair across her to sit down.

Luke sat next to Sydney.

Sydney gently pushed the tea that Sophie had brought in front of Brandon. "Thank you for the compliment, President Madden. Have some tea."

Brandon lowered his eyes to the tea in front of him with no intention of picking it up.

Sydney did not care either, and she crossed her fingers on the table. "Pray tell, what is the purpose of President Madden’s visit to Skylight?"

"Since you asked, I'll be frank with you. I want the land in the city center back.” Brandon stared at her.

Sydney and Luke exchanged a glance, but she quickly looked away and smiled. "You want it back? I'm afraid that's not possible. After all, that land has already been transferred, and it belongs to me, not you, President Madden. How can you say that you want it back?"

Brandon also realized what he said was a little inappropriate. Hence, he immediately corrected himself. "You've misunderstood my meaning, Ms. Raines. I want it back as in I want to buy it, not take it."

Speaking of that, he got a little angry.

He could have gotten that piece of land for free, but because of Lyra, he ended up having to spend money on it. He was furious.

"Oh, I see. It seems like I have misunderstood." Sydney tucked the hair that had fallen on the left side of her face back behind her ear. "Then how much are you willing to pay to buy it back?"

"I won't beat around the bush. 15 million.” Brandon looked at her and used his fingers to demonstrate.

Luke rolled his eyes. Finally, he could not help but speak up, "President Madden, you want to buy back land in the city center for 15 million? Are you joking? Or are you saying that Trison Corporation is broke and can't fork out money?”

Brandon's expression darkened when he heard Luke mocking him. "President Chase, you have to take legal responsibility if you spew nonsense!"

Luke curled his lips into a grin, not afraid at all."

What? Did I say something wrong? Why are you only offering 15 million? It's clear you look down on us!"

"President Madden, I'm on Luke's side with this. 15 million is too low!" Sydney picked up the tea in front of her and sipped it gently. Her smile remained unchanged as she spoke.

Brandon, too, knew that the price he gave was not enough and was silent for a few seconds. "In that case, how much do you want?"

"Simple. 30 million!" Sydney put down her teacup and gave a figure.

Never mind Brandon, even Luke was stunned.

Brandon slammed his hands on the table and stood up. "30 million? Ms. Raines, you're really asking for a lot."

"I admit that my price is a little high, but it's not that high. This is the city center. The initial value should be around 23 million, and when the surrounding area becomes more developed, the price of the land will only go up. 30 million isn't that much." Sydney smiled at him.

Brandon laughed in exasperation. "Who knows how many years it’ll take before the price of the land rises to 30 million, but you're asking me for 30 million now? Can I assume that you just don’t want to sell the land to me?”

Sydney shook her head. "No. As long as you give me this amount, I’ll immediately give you the land deed.

You just think that way because you don't want to fork out that amount. In that case, I'll just keep it for myself to build a factory."

"I'd like to see if you can build your factory successfully!" Brandon snorted.

Sydney narrowed her beautiful eyes. "President Madden, are you threatening us?"

Brandon turned to leave without answering her.

Luke looked at the door that was slammed shut." Darling, were you just messing with him?"

"No." Sydney continued to drink her tea calmly. "I'm serious. If he gave me the money, I would’ve sold him the land. I can’t help it if he can't afford it and thinks I'm messing with him."

Luke walked circles around her and clicked his tongue. "It hasn’t been that long, but you've already become a fox in the business world. 30 million, huh? Not even Julien would be able to fork out that much money at once, let alone Brandon."
