“Are you pleased?”

Lewis’s question hung in the air, and Amber froze in shock.

However, it was not just Amber, but everyone, save for Alexander, was utterly taken aback.

The mayor of Ol‘ Mare himself had come forward, offering Missus Thompson a villa in the name of neighborhood redevelopment. The demolition of the Habergam area was ages away. That was an outright gift!
