Chapter 256 The Old Residence

“Mom, the area where the old residence is located will be developed soon. It’ll be worth a lot of money in the future!”

there’s a development plan for that area? I bet he just doesn’t want to get a formal job and lead a proper life, which is why he said that. Do you think an ex-convict like him has the right to visit Mr. Lowe’s house?” Benedict coldly glanced at Jared before he continued, “Do you know how much risk it takes for me to find Jared a job as a government official, given his past? But fret not; I’ll still find him a job, and I won’t take that old residence for free. In exchange, I’ll give you a hundred thousand.
