Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 448: Acquisition

Damian felt a bit embarrassed when he saw how forthright Tina was. The Reed family's troubles weren't Tina's fault; they were merely exposed through her. They really had no right to complain. Instead, they should be thankful to Tina, for without her, who knows what would become of the Reed family. Still, it was hard to accept how the once thriving and harmonious family had changed so abruptly. Like Audrey, who still bitterly blamed Tina without mercy. After Jasper was arrested, Muff returned to the sanatorium, occasionally arguing with Logan but mostly enjoying his tea and the scenery, leading a contented life.

Garrett, lacking a knack for business, had handed over most of the company's operations to him. Now, he was practically the co-head of the Reed family. As the future bearer of the Reed family's responsibilities, he could not afford to be as capricious as Audrey. Now that Tina bore no grudges, he had stopped dwelling on it.

"Mr. Heart, please," Damian gestured for James to go ahead. At the dinner table, Tina and Courtney ate without speaking. James, on the other hand, was continuously engaged in a lively negotiation with Damian over drinks, eventually sealing the deal for a parcel of land at a price of six hundred million dollars.

After a few rounds of drinks, Damian, a bit tipsy, inquired, "Mr. Heart, what do you plan to do with that parcel of land? If you're thinking about building a mall or residential area, how are the sales channels? I'm quite interested." Damian indeed had some smarts. By selling his land for others to develop and then investing in it himself, he not only got rid of land he couldn't develop, but also stood to make a profit-a no-lose deal.

James glanced at Tina and said, "Oh, I'm giving it to my Serena."

Damian was stunned, surprised at Tina. To think that James bought a six hundred million dollar piece of land only to give it away!

Damian chuckled, "Tina, do you have any ideas? Can I help in any way?"

Tina paused for a moment, then said, "I want to build a film and television base."

James almost choked on his drink, baffled at how it had turned into a film and television base.

Damian nodded, indicating he would not be involved in the film and television base. Speaking of which, Tina recalled Juliet.

"How is Juliet doing? Has the movie she's starring in started filming?"

The last time they recorded a variety show, Jared had promised Juliet a major IP, but Damian had been too busy to follow up.

"It has started, but not without issues; there's some trouble with her agency," Damian said, his words more numerous as the alcohol took effect. Juliet was his younger sister, and he felt both guilty and distressed for her. "If I were more capable, she wouldn't be mistreated at the company."
