The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 187

For nearly half a month, Lago had been busy running around Pueru with Gideon. Before arriving, Gideon had already prepared everything in advance. Because Lago previously failed in the bid for the Southville project, he made sure to reach out to Arturo. Thanks to Arturo's connections, they got word about Pueru's redevelopment plans earlier than the insiders. The area planned for redevelopment was right in the old part of the city.

Lago originally thought buying old, rundown houses would be easy. However, most people left in Pueru were elderly residents who didn't want to move.

Despite the houses being dilapidated, these seniors preferred staying in their old homes rather than living in cramped apartments.

In the first few days, Lago tried hard to convince them, but not a single family agreed.

Just when Lago was about to miss the opportunity, Gideon came up with an idea.

Gideon suggested Lago first purchase the house of the most respected family in the area at a high price and then spread rumors that demolition was inevitable, but the compensation wouldn't be much.

Once the official notice was announced, the houses couldn't be sold! Within a couple of days, panic spread among the residents.

They couldn't afford to take a loss! When they heard that the most respected family was eager to sell their house, the others couldn't remain calm any longer.

Lago didn't show up the second time; instead, Gideon went on his own. In just three days, he bought 20 old standalone houses that were in the plan for two million and also picked up a couple of stores on a whim.

Lago was thrilled when he got the contract and couldn't wait to video call Yvette. "Sweetheart, look! I'm going to make a lot of money!" Lago's eyes narrowed into slits from his grin, showing a greedy look that was clear on his wrinkled face. "You have to thank Gideon, of course! As soon as he got involved, everything was sorted out!" said Yvette.

She had already heard about it from Jessie but was skeptical at first. Now, seeing the contract in Lago's hand... It turned out Gideon was really excellent. Still, she couldn't help but ask a few more questions, "And the sellers? Have you found them?" "Gideon's got everything sorted! Tomorrow, the 20 houses and two shops will be sold. The other party agreed to this amount." Lago gestured to indicate it was three million dollars.
