The fact that Edwards had succeeded in bidding for the extra three billion instantly caused a huge stir in the industry, which also proved how strong and powerful Wayne Family was. The commentators also started to write various magazines one after another, and they made a new round of guesses as they tried to calculate how much money Edwards had earned in these past few years while keeping a low profile.

Although the old lady did not care about business matters in the Wayne Family for a long time, but since this matter had stirred up an uproar, the old lady would definitely be aware of it. That night, when Edwards came back to have dinner, she brought up this matter on the dining table.

"kid, ever since you took over the company, you have always done things steadily. This time, why are you making such a hasty decision? Three billion is a sky-high price. The old lady could not help but nag at him. She felt that his decision this time had gone against his standards.

Edwards knew that someone had spread the news deliberately. There was no need to guess, it must be the John who was feeling extremely pleased with himself, after he spread the news, everyone would know that he, Edwards, had suffered from a great loss, and did not have anything to blame. Furthermore, Grandmahad already told Grandpa about this, and he would definitely be furious, thinking that there was something wrong with his successor.

"Granny, this is very complicated. I have a reason to buy that land, so please don't worry about me. I definitely didn't make this decision on the spur of the moment!" Edwards immediately explained with a smile, and also wanted to pacify his grandma's feelings.

"Then tell me, what reason do you have to pay extra three billion dollars?" the old lady asked immediately.

Seated at the side, the two little fellows and Lareina, were also curiously looking at Edwards, because they too, wanted to know the reason for this matter.

Edwards replied calmly: "The commercial value of the land has already shown itself, once the Southeast Bridge is built, the land's price will increase multiple times once we connect the two cities, and I am confident that I can raise the price of the land, at that time, I will definitely be able to earn back the three billion dollars. So, don't worry about me anymore, okay?"

Although this reason was a little general, everyone present could only accept it. Without a professional's eye, it was impossible to replace any gold that shone, and since Edwards felt that there was money there that could earn, then there must be value in investing.

"Daddy, did you learn all this business from great-grandfather?" George asked as he supported his head with his small hands and blinked his eyes.

"Yes, it is him who told me all of these skills. He taught me many, many useful things. When the time comes, I will teach you everything!" Edwards said with a smile.

"Then what about Emma?" George didn't want to learn such boring things all by himself, hence he immediately pulled Emma's hand.

Emma was currently biting off the meat from her bowl with his head down, and when she heard that her brother was pulling on him, she immediately shook his head and protested, "Daddy, I don't want to. I just want to eat meat."

Everyone was amused by Emma's cute words.

"Emma, don't worry, no one is forcing you to study. Lareina immediately reached out and patted the little guy's shoulders to comfort her.

The old lady was also smiling: "George likes to learn more than Emma. However, both of them are still young.

This meal ended happily amidst Emma's playfulness.

Lareina brought the two little fellows to finish the homework the school had assigned them. Edwards went to his study to work and Lily followed him in.

She placed a cup of tea on Edwards's table with crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at the man who was working hard.

"What's up?" Edwards put down the documents in his hands, and looked at her with a smile.

"Nothing, I just feel that you are really charming when you work hard." In the past, Lily would never praise someone, but now, following Edwards was saying more and more good words.

"Then don't tell me that you want to have sex with me..." Edwards spread his hands and laughed evilly.

Lily's rosy white face flashed with a blush, and she muttered: "Then you should go back to work, I still have something to do."

After speaking, she turned around and left. Behind him, the man let out a low and complacent laugh, as if he had taken advantage of her.

Lily's heart throbbed. Why was she so moved just by hearing Edwards's laughter?

Lily returned to her room and bit her finger. The emotions that churned in her heart made it impossible for her to calm down and work, so she could only take a bath to calm herself down. After showering and drying his hair, Lily sat on the sofa and turned on the computer. She quickly searched the internet and found a lot of discussing about Edwards's bid.

Since these are related to Edwards, Lily looked at every single detail of it, and suddenly, she saw a name that appeared frequently in the news, as though this time it was always discussed together with Edwards. That person, was the one who was elected as the twenty-nine year old Vice-President, Joseph.

"Joseph?" Lily mumbled to herself, why did the people above say that he and Edwards did not have any relationship on the surface, but behind the scenes, the two of them had the possibility of contacting each other for the next round of the presidential election?

Lily's beautiful eyes widened. With only a limited amount of thought, she really couldn't think through the relationship between the two of them. She always felt that business and politics were too complicated. Just then, the door opened, and Edwards walked in with a suit jacket in his hand.

As if a male model was walking on stage, Lily looked up and saw his mesmerizing look. His heart trembled again.

"What are you staring at me?" Seeing her holding a computer, nestling onto the sofa, with her long hair flowing down her chest, and the light on the computer screen reflecting off her snow - white and exquisite facial features, Edwards took a glance and his heart moved for some reason.

"No...." "Nothing much, I'm just taking a casual look!" As if she was a child who had eaten a candy and was caught, Lily didn't dare to let Edwards know that he had secretly read about him on the internet.

"Taking a casual look?" Edwards's sharp eyes flashed, after that, he casually threw the suit jacket onto the bed, and with his long legs, he walked towards his: "How casual?" When Lily saw him approaching, her breathing became sluggish for a moment. Soon after, he heard his indecent question, and within the low voice, there was even a hint of a smile that had an unknown meaning.

"You are the one who is free to do whatever you want!" Of course, Lily understood the meaning behind his words, and immediately gave him a supercilious look.

"Yes, I admit it. In front of you, I'm just a casual man!" Edwards lazily sat next to her, deliberately trying to squeeze her.
