Capítulo 39: Bait
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After hearing Mary's explanation, Gwyn didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, seeing her serious expression, Gwyn was convinced.
After all, there was plenty of land that could be developed, not just in this area. Gwyn put her arms around Mary's waist and said, "Alright, I understand. Since you received a revelation from God, we'll take this piece of land off our list."
"No!" Mary immediately protested. Gwyn had already lost her patience with Mary's repeated objections. "What is it now?"
Mary was speechless for a moment. She thought for a moment and said, "You submit your intention and say that you are very optimistic about this piece of land. It will definitely rise crazily in the future. However, during the auction, we will not bid for it."
Mary had finally set up such a big trap, just waiting for Bob to fall into it.
If Gwyn did not have an eye for this land, how would Bob fall for it?
"So, what are you scheming this time again?" Gwyn asked helplessly.
Mary, on the other hand, acted coquettishly and kissed Gwyn on the cheek. Well, just trust me for once. Just do as I say, okay? "
Mary kept shaking Gwyn's neck and kissing her from time to time.
Gwyn finally compromised under Mary's attack. "Alright, I'll listen to you."
After dealing with Gwyn, Mary was finally willing to meet Julie.
Julie's excitement was palpable when she saw Mary; she was on the brink of tears. If Mary hadn't shown up, Bob would have tormented her to the point of no return.
"Mary, my dear, why haven't we seen each other lately? I've been so worried! Is everything okay with you?" Julie's words were genuine, and Mary could see a rare expression of concern on her face.
Indeed, if Mary didn't show up, where could Julie go to gather more information?
Mary, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. "Gwyn has been having meetings at home recently. He asked me to go out for a few days to prepare for the next auction."
"So, did he tell you any insider information?" Julie's eyes lit up when she heard about the auction.
"Last time, you mentioned that Gwyn had told you which piece of land would increase in value, is that true?"
Mary couldn't help but smile. Julie was really impatient, and wouldn't spend time asking Mary indirectly.
But Mary still looked hesitant and felt it was difficult to speak up. "But Gwyn told me not to disclose it, otherwise it would be detrimental to his company."
Seeing Mary's expression, Julie understood what was going on. Sure enough, Mary knew something.
"Mary, dear, don't you want to help Bob? He's been suppressed by his brothers to the point where he could only be a small manager. If he could succeed this time, no one in the Wilson family would look down on him. Do you really want Bob to be like this forever?"
Thinking of Bob's situation, Julie's words actually sounded sincere.
Wouldn't all the time and effort that Julie had invested in Bob be wasted if he didn't establish himself in the Wilson family?
Mary also lowered her head and thought for a while, then slowly nodded.
Julie returned to Bob's apartment and immediately told him the news she had found out today.
"That's great! Just as I thought, there's indeed an issue with this piece of land." Bob was so excited that he felt his hair stand on end.
On both sides of this piece of land are national land. Once they are developed, this piece of land in the middle will also rise in value. The most important thing is that currently, this piece of land is slightly remote, so the price should not be too high.
And Bob also really likes this piece of land. As Mary said, if Gwyn could think of building a high-end villa area, then Bob could think of it too.
"A high-end villa area is different from other projects. It not only increases the company's profits but also allows us to connect with many powerful people," Bob thought to himself, feeling as if he had already succeeded.
"But Mary said that many companies would definitely also be interested in this land, and the price might rise," Julie said worriedly.
Mary did indeed 'repeat' Gwyn's words to Julie with seriousness, indicating that if the northwest area was developed now, the land price would definitely rise.
Other companies were not foolish, and the land itself could be worth tens of millions, with the auction price potentially reaching billions.
Although Julie didn't understand these things, she trusted Gwyn's judgment.
Bob, on the other hand, was not worried. He believed he had a pathway to acquire the land and was determined to do so no matter the cost.
