Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 140

Isabella rushed all the way to the land bureau, causing a scene and frantically questioning why the new high–tech zone wasn’t being built by the Leith River as she had anticipated.

The people at the bureau looked at her as if she had lost her mind.

“Miss Smith, the location of the high–tech zone is decided by the higher–ups. Making a scene here won’t change anything,” one of them said diplomatically.

“I don’t care! You sold me that land, you have to take responsibility,” Isabella argued stubbornly, adding, “At the very least, you should refund me the ten million dollars. Can’t I just return the land to you?”

The bureau officer glanced at her, “Miss Smith, you can sell the land to someone else. But selling it back to the government? That’s not an option.”

Isabella’s face turned into a portrait of frustration.

These barren lands remained unsold, gathering dust in the government’s hands since no one wanted to undertake such a risky investment.

Isabella, however, wished someone would take this burden off her hands. But who would be foolish enough to purchase a wasteland requiring a hefty sum to develop?

In her past life, it was only the considerable influx of funds from the government and private investors that had brought this area to life.

“I don’t care! I demand you to buy it back at the original price!” Isabella insisted vehemently, determined to cause a scene until she got her way.

At first, the officer engaged with her calmly, but Isabella’s escalating aggressiveness was met with a brick wall of patience.

Finally, unable to tolerate her tantrum any longer, an officer dialed the police.

In no time, the police arrived.

Isabella was slapped with a seven–day detention sentence.

In the holding cell, surrounded by towering, stern–faced women, a shiver raced through Isabella, her scalp tingling with fear.

She couldn’t comprehend how she had ended up in such a dire situation.
