Asher said, "Be, Justin, we''ve just received news about the Iversons."


    Celeste immediately took the hint and turned to Be. "I''ll take Amelia outside for a bit."


    "There''s no need for that, Aunt Celeste. We''re all family here. There''s nothing that can''t be shared."


    Be''s expression turned serious. "Ash, go ahead."


    Steven, who was nearby, also listened intently.


    Ever since Winston severely injured him and the Iversons almost crippled his left arm, Be had insisted that Steven focus solely on his recovery and his rtionship with Amelia, keeping him away from business matters.


    But having spent years in the business with Asher and Be, Steven still had a passion for work. He did not care for high positions or wealth. He just wanted to be of use to the Thompsons. However, since Shannon''s case, Steven had not been at work for a while, making him feel somewhat restless.


    "Be, do you remember when James took that resort project in Terranova from me? As expected, the problems quickly surfaced after the project began," Asher said, his eyes darkening.


    "Yeah. There''s a small vige on the main road leading to the resort, with about a dozen households. Their presence significantly impacts thend nning for the resort unless the Iversons can clear out that vige and relocate those residents."


    Be continued shaping her dumpling skin calmly. Then her lips curled into a smile. "Heh, but I doubt it''ll be that easy. If it were, the Terranova government would''ve handled it already. Why would they conceal the fact? Were they trying to deceive the people? If they could clear the vige, thend value would increase by at least another billion."


    Steven nodded in agreement.


    Amelia looked at her sister with adoration, her eyes sparkling with admiration, almost bubbling over with excitement.


    No wonder Steve once admired Be so deeply, willing to risk his life for her. If she were a man, she too would be captivated by her beautiful and wise sister.


    Inparison, she seemed weak and ordinary....


    She was truly fortunate to have Steven''s love.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Be''s analysis is spot on."


    Justin gazed tenderly at Be, cing another poorly-shaped dumpling neatly on the board. "Besides, I''ve been investigating secretly That vige has been. around for two hundred years, and is considered a historical and cultural heritage site. If they demolish it to build the resort, it will definitely incite public outrage, and the government wouldn''t dare to do it openly."


    Asher nodded slightly. "That''s why some people couldn''t wait and took matters into their own hands."


    Upon hearing this, the couple was shocked. "James wants to demolish it forcefully?! When did this happen?"


    "It happenedst night. He chose to do it in the middle of the night. Many vigers were still asleep when their house copsed, resulting in multiple serious injuries."


    Asher''s demeanor turned icy. "The


    Qu


    incident happened abroad, and the Iversons immediately suppressed the news. Even if the domestic. media got wind of it, they wouldn''t dare report it due to the Iverson''s influence."


    Justin asked gravely, "Ash, were there any casualties among the injured?"


    Asher replied, "As of now, there aren''t any."


    "Well, they can still keep this under wraps, then."


    Justin''s eyes grew cold. "Only if there are casualties does it be a major incident. That''s the only way the Iversons won''t be able to cover it up."


    "Do the Iversons think they canmit atrocities abroad and get away with it?"


    Be mmed the table furiously,


    turning a dumpling into a t


    pancake. "Who says no media would


    dare expose their doings? Don''t


    forget we have KS Group''s news outlet. Just wait, it''s going public tomorrow at 3:00 p.m.!"


    After listening quietly at the side, Celeste shook her head. "The Iverson kids are too audacious. I thought they had learned to restrain themselves after all this time."


    Steven also expressed his resentment. "Well, a leopard can''t change its spots.”


    Be arched her elegant eyebrows. "They allck morals. Can this family possibly end well?"


    Justin pondered for a moment, then firmly grasped her small hand protectively.


    "I''ll send someone to Terranova right away to monitor the situation there. If you expose this matter, James will likely act out of desperation to quell the scandal. He''ll definitely make a move."
