“Colby, have you lost your mind too? That sewage area worth billions?”


    Even if they were using that plot ofnd for moneyundering, it was not worth billions.


    Adler made a move to check Colby’s forehead, but Colby swatted his hand away. “The approval from


    the city council came through.”


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    “Approval?”


    Adler scratched his head in confusion. What was going on here?!


    Sophic slowly exined, “For the sake of urban environmental protection and greening, the city council


    is funding the cleanup of all sewage areas. So, that sewage plot will soon be transformed into a green


    belt, and it won’t cost me a penny.”


    Adler was puzzled, “Really? Is there such a good deal?”


    Sophie added, “Moreover, based on the size of thend, I will also receive a corporate subsidy worth


    two billion dors.”


    up from his chair in shock.


    “How much?” Adler stood up


    Colby, with a calm demeanor, said, “Additionally, the originalndowners around the area were real


    estate tycoon Stephen. With the transformation of the sewage area into a green zone, Stephen has


    already started new projects, converting the surroundings into upscale residential buildings along with a


    range of facilities.”


    Adler blurted out, “So, he’s building from the ground up?”


    ial street”


    “And Sophie is nning to develop part of thisnd into argemercial


    Colby spoke unhurriedly, and Sophie raised an eyebrow, “How did you know?”


    Colby didn’t answer, but Sophie knew that with Colby’s intellect, this was definitely the best n he


    could think of.


    Indeed, it was her best n too.


    Adler hesitated for a moment, “But building amercial street is going to be expensive.”


    “T’ve got the two billion subsidy, and with Stephen’s construction of upscale buildings around, pulling in


    a few investorster will be easy, solving the financial issues effortlessly.” Sophie had already foreseen


    this step.


    Adler, hearing this, couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, “Brilliant”


    “Thank you.” Sophie smiled slightly.


    “But I still don’t understand, the approval was only issued today, and none of us had heard anything


    about it before. How did you know the city’s greening ns would include this plot?” Adler looked at


    Sophie skeptically,


    This wasn’t something easily discernible just by sight. The city’s decisions are usually confidential. If


    none of these influential individuals had heard anything, it meant the city council’s decision was kept


    under wraps, absolutely secretive.


    Sophie had never been involved in real estate development before, so her foresight seemed nearly


    unbelievable.


    Sure enough, Colby was also staring at Sophie.


    “Well,” Sophie yed coy, “that’s a secret.”


    Adler’s previously expectant expression fell. “No fun, I won’t ask anymore.”


    Colby’s gaze remained on Sophie. She turned around, and their eyes met, his eyes seemingly smiling.


    Sophie quickly looked away. Though it was just a brief moment, she felt her heartbeat skip. She was


    overthinking it, she must be.


    How could he possibly have feelings for a married woman like her?


    At that moment, Colby spoke, “We still have some time. I’ll drive you back.”


    ????


    Sophie nced at the time and did not rush to answer, “When did you guys see this approval?”


    “This morning,” Adler said. “Why do you ask?”


    “If you’ve seen it, others must have too.”


    Sophie took out her phone, which had been on mute throughout the drive. Upon turning it on, she


    found two missed calls from Perry
