The money was delicious bait.

At that moment, however, Jon had no such concerns.

Zimmer Corporations was in desperate need for financial resources.

It was like a cake had appeared in front of a starving man.

He did not care if there was poison in the cake. He would just scarf it down without a second thought.

Even though Jon was a cunning old fox, he did not have any suspicions.

They had bought the most prized land in River City. If they succeeded in developing it, the Zimmer family will rise through the ranks swiftly.

Therefore, he felt that it was very normal for his company's stocks to skyrocket.

Each sell-off brought in a huge amount of money.

Jon did not even know how many shares he had sold that day.

However, at the end of the day, he still retained some sense of rationality and did an estimation of the shares he had.

He had to always ensure that Zimmer Corporation's share of equity was accounted for.

He would only be able to retain his position as the chairman of Zimmer Corporations with more than half of the shares.

"I’ve counted it, dad. With the 10% that I have, we still have 55% of the shares. So, we don't have to

worry."

Quill was more excited than Jon.

When he saw the steady influx of funds into the company’s account, the feeling that he felt was

indescribable.

"Alright! It’s almost time to stop."

Jon leaned against the backrest of his swivel chair. He felt extremely pleased.

This sell-off had given them plenty of liquidity.

Not only would the 60-million-dollar-debt be paid off, but there would also still be a hefty amount of

reserve funds for the development of the land in the future.

"We’ll be spending the most money when we're developing the land, right dad?"

Quill thought for a moment and asked.

"Heh, today I'll be teaching you the ways of a capitalist. We develop the land and compensate for the

demolition. We can negotiate with the original residents to sell their property with an additional sum of

compensation. This way, we’ll only need a small fraction of the capital to get started. Then we can carry

out real estate development. At this time, we can pre-sell in advance and collect funds. With that

money, we can build real estate and sell it to them. We will hardly be using our capital flow. This is what

a capitalist should do."

Jon laughed. The more he thought about it, the more pleased with himself he became.

"Understood, dad."

Quill nodded along enthusiastically.

They seemed to have seen the moment that Zimmer Corporation would soar to the top.

The Quinn family, inside Old Madam Quinn's residence.

Ever since Willow left the Quinn family, Old Madam Quinn had been in low spirits.

She never wanted to drive Willow out of the Quinn family.

She still hoped to arrange a marriage between Willow and one of River City's aristocratic families. This

way, the Quinn family would get strong support.

In the end, Willow left. How could she arrange a marriage with them now?

These days, ever since Simon took over the company that Willow was in charge of, he often

complained in front of Old Madam Quinn.

He dug out many of the decisions Willow made during her time in the company and brought up

countless questions.

In short, he was trying to demean Willow.

Old Madam Quinn was beyond irritated.

Today, Samuel and Simon had gathered here again. She did not know what they wanted to tell her this

time.

"What's the matter? Just say it."

Old Madam Quinn picked up her cup to take a sip.

"Old Madam, at today's auction... Sean bid 60 million dollars and bought a piece of land."

Samuel's sudden words made Old Madam Quinn's hands jolt. The teacup almost slipped out of her grasp.

"What? What did you say?”

Old Madam Quinn's widened as she stared at Samuel in disbelief.

"I said Sean bid 60 million dollars and bought a piece of land."

Samuel paused for a moment before repeating himself.

Old Madam Quinn was stunned. Even though Simon had already known that he still did not know what to think when he heard it again.

"He... Didn’t you say that he borrowed that 50 million dollars? And he dares to spend it so extravagantly? And he just spent 60 billion dollars

in one go? Moreover, he doesn’t even have a company. Why does he want that piece of land?" 2

Old Madam Quinn had countless questions.

However, no one could provide her with the answers she sought because Samuel, Simon, and Faye had thought about it the entire day, and

they still could not figure it out.

They could not replace out where Sean’s money had come from.

Sean had not taken a loan nor did he win the lottery. It seemed as if his money had just appeared out of thin air.

It was like he already had that much money, to begin with, and it was just left untouched in the past.

"Could it be that he’s secretly wealthy? But wasn't he in the military? How could someone in the military be so rich?"

Old Madam Quinn muttered to herself. These were questions that Simon and the others could not understand too.
