After She She Stopped Loving Him

Chapter 159

Chapter 159

Cedric was all brawn and no brains, and his grudge against the Sinclair family was basically public knowledge now. So when Edward Sinclair tried to team up, Cedric was ready to turn him down–until he caught wird that Charles might be putting a piece of his land up for sale.

People had been gossiping about that land for ages, everyone curious about what kind of building Charles was planning to put up.

But Charles hadn’t started any construction at all. Some thought he was dissatisfied with the current government zoning, waiting for the next round of changes, and rumors swirled that he’d gotten insider info ahead of time–which was why he could afford to play the long game.

When Edward met with Cedric, he dangled that land as bait.

“Cedric, didn’t you ask about that plot before?” Edward pressed.

Cedric’s expression darkened. Back when Vivian and Charles got along, he’d asked Charles about the land, but Charles just played the old fox–always dodging the topic and never actually considering a sale.

That just made even more people think Charles had some insider info.

Now that Vivian was out of the picture, the CEO position was up for grabs, and Grandpa Jonathan had already started talks with Grady.

Cedric’s eyes burned with resentment at the thought. If he could get his hands on that land, maybe Grandpa Jonathan would actually consider him for the job.

He was just a little less scheming than Grady’s kids, that was all.

Edward caught the look in Cedric’s eyes and smirked. “You know everyone’s watching Charles put that land up for sale. Any idea why he’s doing it?”

Cedric scoffed, leaning back in his chair. ‘If I didn’t know the reason for this, I’d have been wasting all these years in the business, he thought.

Word around the industry was that Charles had fallen out with the Andrade manor. The shipping routes to Drakeland got messy, and he’d already sunk three billion yuan into fixing things, with another two billion needed soon. For a company that size, cash flow is everything–if their reserves drop below a certain threshold, every project in the company is on the edge.

That’s why Charles had no choice but to put the land up for sale–he needed the cash, urgently.

Everyone’s been watching Charles scramble to handle all the trouble the Andrade manor stirred up, so news about the land brought plenty of companies circling.
