Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 321

“Where?” Zane’s voice was low and heavy.

Jeremy, oblivious to the tension, still sounded cheerful. “About an hour’s drive round trip from downtown.

Zane furrowed his brows, realizing something.

Fabian was a cunning man. He could have easily seen through Jeremy’s intentions, yet he still agreed to the meeting. That could only mean one thing.

The western district land was likely about to change hands.

“Zane, I did you a solid, didn’t I?” Jeremy said.

“Yes, you really did,” Zane replied.

Jeremy had practically given away the western district land just to help Zane. The sacrifice was massive.

“I think so too. Zane, you can’t forget what you promised me.” Jeremy reminded him.

“Got it.” After hanging up, Zane stood by the floor–to–ceiling window, a glass of red wine in his hand, his eyes deep and unreadable.

‘If I want to satisfy Fabian’s appetite and get him to leave the Murphy Family alone, I’ll have to offer him something even more tempting than that piece of land,‘ he wondered.

At the Murphy residence, the moment Baron received the news, his face darkened.

Fabian had already set his sights on the western district land, and the Murphy Family had done everything they could to avoid him, coming up with all sorts of excuses to delay things.

Yet Jeremy had taken it upon himself to provoke Fabian and even arranged to meet him so far away.

The worst part? The conversation had nothing to do with the land at all. It was a blatant attempt to toy with Fabian.

The Evans family held immense power in Jorlandia. They were one of the top families. Offending them would bring the Murphy Family nothing but trouble.
