Erin felt awkward, while Brian

e unsure of what to do on the side.

Ignoring her, Selena said, “Uncle, Aunt, I will be leaving now.”

Erin and Brian hurriedly prepared everything for her departure and personally saw her off to the

small road.

Selena thought for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, wasn’t there a big boss planning to develop tourism in Ridge-field? If your houses really do get demolished by then, what are your plans for the money?”

In small counties and towns, the housing prices are cheap, and one can buy a very spacious four- bedroom apartment for around one million dollar. Brian’s face showed a touch of excitement when this was mentioned.

“When your cousin owed the high interest loan, there were still over one hundred thousand left. I will pay off the loan first before going to buy a better house. Selena, why are you suddenly asking about this? Did you receive some information?” Brian hadn’t forgotten that Selena had been in the

same car as that boss.

“Well, I’m not very sure yet. Uncle, you and Aunt should plan carefully before deciding. You’re getting older, don’t give all your money to Megan. Brian coughed lightly, “Your sister-in-law… she’s actually a good person, just a bit lazy.”

“Just don’t lower yourself to her level.” Selena couldn’t convince herself either, so after exchanging pleasantries, she left in her car.

Brian clenched his excited hands and his cheeks flushed with excitement. “If Selena is asking about this, then our neighborhood is definitely going to be demolished. Wife, let’s borrow some more money and buy all the houses next door. If they are demolished later, we could make multiple times the money.”

Erin hesitated. The people living around them were either elderly or families living in this bungalow. If they were to buy other people’s houses, wouldn’t they be making enemies by letting others know that they had received information before making these moves?

“Wife, let’s go back and discuss it with Megan. Selena was in the same car with that boss

yesterday. The boss must have revealed some information to her. This is a chance to make a

fortune. Let’s sell the car first, then sell a piece of land, borrow some money from relatives. We could easily get hundreds of thousands, enough to buy two houses. When we sell them later, it

could be worth millions!”

Erin was initially hesitant, but hearing his words made her tempted as well.

Selena was unaware that the news she unintentionally revealed could have caused a major disaster. She was about to drive away when she suddenly realized that she had forgotten her phone charger in the courtyard. She had to go back to get it.

However, due to the crowded town and the lack of temporary planning, the car was moving at a snail’s pace among pedestrians. It was testing Selena’s patience.

What should have been a journey of less than half an hour turned into an hour-long journey before Selena finally arrived at the courtyard, driving slowly. Several people were gathered at the entrance, and two of them were the people in charge from yesterday. Raymond was standing at the front gate, looking unhappy.

Selena quickly parked her car to the side, about to get out when she saw Megan arriving in her uncle’s car. She stopped directly in front of Raymond, about one meter away.

“Mr. Montague, weren’t you supposed to stay in Ridge-field for another day? I see that your o broke down. How about you ride with me? I can give you a lift. Megan had specially dressed up, and this car had been around the courtyard since yesterday, so she arrived much faster than Selena.

Selena had just gotten out of her car when she heard Megan’s words. It seemed like Megan was not giving up.

Megan and her cousin’s engagement was still on, and they had even had a grand wedding ceremony, and now it seemed like Megan had lost all feelings for him.

Still daring to openly flirt with someone else before even getting divorced!

She walked quickly closer, only to replace that not only were the car windows smashed by someone, but the tires were also punctured.

The two responsible people next to them were anxious and at a loss, with expressions that showed they didn’t know what to do. After all, the big boss who finally came to invest had his car worth millions smashed at the place where he was staying.

Maybe he would be so angry that he would change his mind directly. Raymond’s expression remained calm, his eyes cold and indifferent. Those who knew him well knew that he was already displeased.

But Megan, who was standing not far from him, was very enthusiastic and pushed aside the person blocking her way.

“Mr. Montague, why not ride in my car? Although it’s not as expensive as yours, it’s still a BMW. BMWs are rare in the county. I specially had it serviced last night, spending three thousand.”

This statement made everyone around almost burst into laughter if it weren’t for the inappropriate situation at hand. But Megan seemed oblivious to how embarrassing she was.

Selena couldn’t bear to watch anymore and grabbed her hand.

“Megan, you’ve gone too far!”

Seeing her, Megan’s eyes showed a hint of guilt. Wasn’t this person supposed to be gone? But considering that Selena couldn’t do anything to her, she gained confidence again.

“What business is it of yours? Aren’t you supposed to be leaving? Get lost.”

Although Selena didn’t turn around, she could still feel a cold gaze fixed on her, silently watching her. For some reason, Selena suddenly felt ashamed.
