The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 48

There was a black business car parked outside the hotel. Upon seeing Rosalynn, the driver got out to open the door for her.

Jacob, dressed in a flashy suit, was lounging in the car with his long legs curled up. He casually greeted her, "Secretary Tesdal, mornin'."

"Mornin'." Rosalynn got in the car.

Her face was even colder than usual, and Jacob intuitively sensed that she was in a bad mood. He didn't push his luck.

Once the car started, he put on his eye mask and took a nap.

Ever since they got here, poor Jacob wasn't acclimated to the food and water, and he didn't sleep well last night.

Rosalynn didn't bother with him and was busy emailing back and forth with others.

When they arrived at the construction site, Sawyer and his team greeted them with big smiles.

"The construction site's a mess everywhere. You guys don't have to come here in person!" Sawyer said with a helpless expression.

"Since there's been an incident at the site, it's only natural that we come take a look," Rosalynn slightly replied .

Sawyer nodded with a smile, "We are always having conflicts with those pesky villagers , and I'm worried they might hurt you!"

Rosalynn remained silent.

Jacob chuckled, "Well, if we do run into any conflicts, it'll just be the villagers' bad luck."

Sawyer was taken aback, "What do you mean by that?"

"If they just want money, we can talk. But if they hurt me or Secretary Tesdal, they won't get a single cent, and I can guarantee they'll end up in jail," said Jacob with a grin.

Sawyer's smile was fading fast. "I'm only worried about your safety, that's all."

Jacob nodded.

They entered the conference room at the construction site, where more than a dozen locals were already seated.

Seeing someone coming in, the people directly banged on the table without saying a word.

"You're the ones in charge of this crappy company? You guys are so shameless, trying to dig up our ancestors' graves! We're going to fight you today!"
