“Young Madam, let me tell you, the land transaction in Terranova is so bizarre!” Ian seized the opportunity to lavish praise on Justin. “Fortunately, Mr. Salvador is wise and discerning. He informed Mr. Thompson in time about this investigation. There’s still a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, the losses would have been even greater if construction began!”
“Mr. Harris, are you implying that my brother is not wise and discerning?” Bella’s fair and delicate arms were crossed in front of her chest, her gaze intimidating.
Ian’s spine stiffened with fear. “Young... Young Madam, please don’t misunderstand. I never meant that!”
“Ian, watch your words.” Justin’s icy gaze was piercing. “Loose lips can sink ships, or bonuses.”
Ian was stunned and speechless.
That statement carried even more weight!
Businessmen were humans too, and it was common to slip up.
In fact, Justin’s wisdom and business prowess were not innate. They were the result of years of managing the conglomerate and navigating countless pitfalls, big and small.
He just happened to know a little more about Terranova than Asher, and that little extra knowledge played a crucial role.
“Originally, when I pointed out the problem, I wanted your brother to find a way to sell that piece of land as soon as possible, but he hasn’t found a suitable buyer yet,” Justin said calmly, not thinking that what he did was extraordinary.
Bella thought, ‘A suitable buyer? Finding a scapegoat would be a more accurate description.’
But unexpectedly, Steven encountered some trouble, which turned out to be a fortune in disguise. A big opportunity walked right into their laps.
