Charles bowed.
“Contact the media. Seven days later, we will announce the official approval for the land reclamation project and start it,” Donald commanded.
Charles instantly felt his blood surge with excitement.
It's finally happeninglThe land reclamation project is Pollerton's biggest project to date!Once it begins, how many people will flock over because of it? How many influential people will come to Pollerton and beg Donald for a slice of that lucrative pie?
“Train Rafe to be the manager of a small part of the project. Contact the banks and necessary organizations stringently. Don't work with those who harbor evil intentions!”
Charles bowed once more. “Yes, Lord Campbell!”
The next day, Donald fetched Raymond from the hospital. The older male, whose complexion improved considerably, had been discharged.
They returned to an old district.
Before he had the accident, Raymond lived alone in a small apartment. Although it was not a spacious place, it was very warm and comforting.
“Don't hold an overly lavish celebration tomorrow. Just hold it at South Bridge Restaurant. Got it?” Raymond instructed.
Donald nodded. “I got it.”
“Have you read the book The Abandoned Children Of The Campbell Clan?” Raymond asked as he smiled.
Donald replied, “I have. The writing is not bad.”
No displeasure could be detected on Raymond's face. “Jack's writing skills are decent. What a pity that he's chosen to use it in the wrong place,” he remarked.
“Do you regret that the Dragon Fide Villa could not be built?” Donald asked softly.
“It would be a lie if I say I didn't. I put in so much effort and took a gamble in hopes of making our family become an elite aristocratic family. However, I've failed.” Raymond sighed.
“I will continue the construction,” Donald said.
Raymond instantly shook his head. “You better not do so. We can't win the Campbell clan.”
Donald murmured to himself, “Really?”
On the third of April, Raymond's eightieth birthday celebration officially started.
