Chapter 83 Double the Money?

Right when Mr. Mason was done with his call, his phone rang.

Mr. Mason had a serious look. During the conversation, he glanced toward Elisa from time to time.

There was a worried expression on his face.

Of course, Elisa grew concerned. After the phone call, Mr. Mason approached Elisa with a sad

expression. “Ms. Elisa, I truly apologize. I have to call off the deal…”

“What’s wrong?” Elisa said in shock.

Mr. Mason sighed and said, “I truly apologize, Elisa. Even with someone like me, I owe people with

connections… Someone just called to sell the mall to them. I have no choice…”

Mr. Mason didn’t explicitly say it, but it was also in his best interest.

Elisa frowned at the recent development. “Could you disclose who you sold the mall to?” Elisa

questioned.

Mr. Mason replied, “Eventually word will spread, so… the buyer was the Wickam family.”

Elisa turned pale.

Mr. Mason’s mall gained promising profits with its current stage. However, with the Wickams having

intervened, they must have intel.

Was this move directly aimed at her?

Elisa smirked. Well, isn’t this grand?

Mr. Mason looked at Elisa and apologized, “Ms. Elisa, I’m deeply sorry. I…”

He deeply sighed. “Mr. Gareth will be here soon, so you should…”

The common man cannot afford to anger the rich and powerful. However, now that she was aware that

the Wickams were responsible for this, she understood that Mr. Mason had no choice. If it were just

another powerful person, she would have judged the man in front of her.

There was a ruthless look in Elisa’s eyes, and it grew stronger. “The winner takes it all.”

At that moment, Gareth had arrived. He heard Elisa’s sarcastic comment and leered back: “The world

owes you nothing, and so do the people in it. Just because you know how to, doesn’t mean others can’t

do the same.”

Elisa turned to face Gareth and had a look of disdain in her eyes. How can this man be this ungrateful?

Even with them being divorced, Gareth still hounds her with every opportunity he could replace. Well, let

me congratulate this oaf!

“The new owner sure is different in person.” Elisa said.

Gareth didn’t take that insult lightly. Mr. Mason felt the rise in tension between the two and quickly

intervened, “Well Mr. Wickam, why don’t I show you around? What do you say?”

Gareth gave Elisa a death glare and replied, “Just sign the contract. My workers have already

inspected the premise thoroughly.”

“My offer is enough to buy your mall twice.” Gareth gloated as he handed him a card.

Mr. Mason was taken aback. From being short of cash, he was now able to double his profits.

“Oh dear…” Mr. Mason gasped. Gareth grew impatient and pushed, “Take the money, and sign the

contract. There are no issues.”
