In the restaurant on the top floor of the mall, Bob felt a little dazed when he saw Mary.

For some reason, every time he saw Mary, he felt that she was getting more and more beautiful. Mary was no longer the delicate young lady she used to be. Instead, she had an indescribable cold and sexy temperament.

Julie noticed how Bob looked at Mary, which filled her heart with hatred. However, when she remembered that Bob couldn’t even get an erection, she looked at Mary and felt sorry for her.

If one day something really did happen between Mary and Bob, she thought about making Mary experience the same pain she had felt.

“Mary, long time no see. You’ve become much prettier.” Bob praised her generously.

However, Mary’s response was not as bashful as before. She replied with grace, “Thank you, Bob. Happiness tends to make people more radiant.”

Bob rubbed his hands at the thought of Land No. 6 that Mary had bought.

He looked at Mary greedily and said, “You’re right. You really have great insight. Land No. 6 is now in high demand. I heard it was bought in your name, and it doesn’t belong to Gwyn’s company, is that true?”

Bob had already inquired about the insider information, and Gwyn represented the company to participate in the auction, but Mary represented herself, so naturally, the No. 6 land was also under Mary’s name.

Bob’s plan was simple: as long as he used some tricks, Mary would definitely give the land to him.

“That’s right. That’s why I’m a rich woman now.” Mary had already guessed Bob’s thoughts. She rolled her eyes at Bob.

But Bob was only focused on the future profit, he did not notice that Mary’s attitude towards him was not right at all. He continued to talk thoughtlessly, “My dear, you don’t really understand development. Your land is sandwiched between two other pieces of land, which makes it very difficult to develop. Besides, the area is too small, so you can’t do much with it. You can’t possibly use it for farming, can you?”

“The transportation in that area is inconvenient. Don’t be fooled by the government’s plans. It’s possible that there won’t be any progress for the next ten years. Why don’t you give me the land instead? Don’t worry, I won’t let you lose money. I’ll offer you five million. You can make 3 million yuan just by selling it to me!”

Mary’s eyes widened, and she could no longer suppress her cold smile. Bob’s plan was truly cunning. Even if Mary asked for 50 million or 100 million, there would still be people who would buy this land, let alone for 5 million.

Bob actually thought that offering five million was a great favor to her.

Julie had already noticed that Mary’s mood was off. Even Julie knew the value of this piece of land. She didn’t expect Bob to take Mary for a fool.

Julie quickly tried to smooth things over, “Mary, you’re really lucky. This land has really appreciated in value. But you don’t really know how to manage it. Why not hand it over to Bob? You know his status in the family. If he could get his hands on this land, he would surely gain the family’s recognition. Don’t you want what’s best for Bob?”

Mary looked at Julie in surprise. Indeed, Julie was smarter. Julie knew how to use personal relationships to influence her.

In the past, Mary would have given this piece of land to Bob for free, let alone five million. She hoped that Bob would have the opportunity to take charge of the Wilson family in the future.

However, she was no longer the Mary from her previous life.

“This land really didn’t cost much,” she said indifferently. “Maybe I’m just lucky. What Bob said just now was quite correct.”

Bob’s eyes lit up. “Darling, do you agree to sell the land to me?”

Mary was a little confused. “Sell it to you? No, no, you said that it’s suitable for farming. I think it’s not bad either. When I go back, I’ll ask Gwyn about how to develop the land for farming. This is a good suggestion.”

“No! Absolutely not!” Bob immediately retorted. “Do you know how precious that piece of land is now? When the flyover is built in the future, it will be the center of the center. If a business district is formed there … ”

At this point, Bob realized that he had dug his own grave. He was just criticizing this piece of land a moment ago, but now he was contradicting himself.

However, Mary didn’t dwell on this problem. She was indifferent to how Bob acted after she saw through him.

Seeing how agitated Bob was, Mary also felt that the time had come, so she said, “My piece of land isn’t very big, and Gwyn already has other plans for it. I can’t go against his wishes. But Gwyn said that there will be another land auction soon, so you can bid on it then. And Gwyn also mentioned that the government…”

Mary’s words suddenly stopped, and she looked panicked as if she had said something wrong.

But at that moment, Bob’s heart truly skipped a beat. It seemed that Gwyn had insider information!
