The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call ( Wynter Quinnell )
Chapter 1440

Chapter 1440 Their Plans Have Succeeded

The groom was a little dazed but didn't stop the bride. After they paid and left the gold shop, the bride spoke up first.

"Honey, it would've been perfect if we had just been a little earlier. The price of gold jumped by 60 dollars per ounce in such a short time, but that's a good thing.

"I hope you don't blame me for getting extra. I'll cover the cost of those two necklaces from my own bank account. I just think that the price is going to keep rising!"

The groom gently ruffled the bride's hair. "It's alright, darling. Feel free to make these decisions once we're married. You don't have to use your own money since I still have plenty for you."

A man like this groom surely deserved a blissful marriage. After all, not many men respect their wives this much.

As the couple left, many of the jewelry pieces and gold bars were completely sold out. Shoppers passing by the gold store couldn't help but look on in surprise at the scene.

A group of around ten elderly women quickly approached the store manager after noticing there weren't many items left in stock.

"You're the manager, right? We'll be back tomorrow. There are just too many people today. Make sure you save some stock for us, okay? You have to save some!"

With that, they hurried off to other malls in search of any leftover gold they could still snag.

At the same time, over at the Bureau of Land Management, Kenton arrived early with a group of associates. They were eagerly waiting for the government policy memorandum.

Kenton was far from subtle about his excitement. He was practically wearing his insider knowledge on his sleeve.

Alejandro was mindful of his appearance, too. He knew it would be inappropriate to meet Kenton in person. Hence, he discreetly sent a message advising him to be patient.

As per the procedure, Kenton's group would immediately be informed and gather for a private meeting once the higher-ups finished the meeting.

Sure enough, at 10:30 am, an urgent meeting was called. They were told to bring only a pen and paper and meet in the large conference room.

"The meeting is starting! Mr. Wray, they are holding a meeting now!"

A meeting at the planning office could only mean one thing-the government's official memorandum had been issued! Their plan had succeeded!

"Mr. Wray, there's no doubt about it now! It's a done deal! We're about to make a truckload of money!" The excitement outside was palpable as Kenton and his associates buzzed with energy.

Kenton, in a particularly good mood, took the opportunity to reach out to Taylor. "It's been a while since we last caught up. I've secured a valuable piece of land today. The policy announcement will be made shortly.

"Let me know if Wynter needs any help. We're both dealing in land acquisitions. Why didn't you tell Wynter to seek advice from me? I will teach her that there's no need for her to act impulsively."

His message was intended solely to irritate the Whitman family.

His underlying motive was to boast about his success and highlight the disparity between his achievements and theirs. He wanted to make it clear that their efforts were not even in the same league! Taylor chose not to respond to the message. Although he was affected by it, he had faith in Wynter. Even if they ended up with a less desirable piece of land, the Whitman family had the means to cover for it.

Despite the fact they were both waiting for the policy announcement, Wynter remained remarkably calm. Her focus was less on the land acquisition and more on the stock market. Unlike the land deals, the stakes in the stock market were higher.

She had substantial personal and familial assets tied up in it, so this wasn't just a game for her. After all, she wasn't only up against Kenton but also foreign investors looking to launder money through the stock market. Hence, her approach was thorough and cautious.

Meanwhile, in the Bureau of Land Management, the conference had begun.

Alejandro brought along some documents with him and was noticeably more nervous compared to others. It was understandable. After all, he came with a specific agenda in mind.
