“Zane, are you also out of your mind? How can land in that sewage area be worth ten billion?”
Even if one used that land for money laundering, it would not be worth ten billion,

Fedrick reached out to touch Zane’s forehead, but Zane swatted his hand away. “Hastin’s approval document has been issued.”
“Approval document?
Fedrick scratched his head.
What was this about?
Layla slowly explained, saying, “To protect the environment and greenify the city, Hastin is fully funding the treatment of all sewage areas. Thus, that sewage area will soon become a green space, and I won’t have to spend a penny on it.”
Fedrick skeptically asked, “Is there really such a good deal?”
Layla continued, saying, “Not only that, but based on the area, I’ll also receive a corporate subsidy worth 20 billion.
“How much?”
Fedrick shot up
from his chair.
Zane calmly said, “Moreover, the surrounding land is owned by real estate tycoon Stephen. As this area is being turned into an urban green space, Stephen has already started a new project to develop high–end apartments and a series of supporting facilities around it.”
Fedrick blurted out in shock, asking. “Is he planning to build skyscrapers?
“Then, Layla will be wanting to build a large–scale commercial district on part of this land.”
Ze sounded so calm that Layla raised an eyebrow. “How did you know?”
Zane did not respond, but Layla knew that with Zane’s intelligence, he must have figured out that was the best plan.
Indeed, it was her best plan.
Fedrick hesitated for a moment. “Building a new commercial district is very expensive, though.”
“With the 20 billion subsidy, plus Stephen developing high–end apartments around it, it will be easy to attract a few more investors later. The funding issue will be solved then.”
Layla had already thought this through.
Upon hearing that, Fedrick could not help but give her a thumbs–up. “Brilliant.
“Thank you!”
Layla smiled slightly
“However, I still don’t understand. The approval document was issued just today, and none of us heard any rumors of it before. How did you know the city’s green efforts would include this area?
Fedrick looked at Layla with suspicion.
This was not something a person could discern with just a sharp eye. The upper–level decisions were always kept confidential. If even influential people like Zane and Fedrick had not heard any news, Hastin’s decision would have been kept under strict confidentiality.
Layla had never been involved in real estate development before. This foresight was just too incredible.
Sure enough, Zane also looked at Layla.

“Well… Layla played coy. “That’s a secret”
Fedrick’s hopeful expression fell. That’s boring. I’m not asking you any more questions!”

Zane’s · gaze remained on Layla. She turned back and met Zane’s eyes, which seemed to hold a smile beneath their depth.
Layla quickly looked away.
Although it was just a brief moment, she felt her heart skip.
She was overthinking it. She had to be overthinking it.
Someone like Zane could not possibly be interested in
in a married woman like her.
At that moment, Zane said, “We still have time. Il take you home.
Layla glanced at the time and did not rush to respond to that offer. “When did you see this approval document?”
This morning. I think,” Fedrick said. “Why do you ask?”
“If you saw it, that means others have seen it too.”
Layla took out her phone. She had it on silent mode earlier, and now she saw two missed calls from Peter.
Layla raised an eyebrow. The news travels fast.”
Fedrick curiously asked, “Who is it?”
“My uncle, Peter, Layla replied. “It looks like I won’t be going back to school today. I might need to trouble you two to take me back to the Kennedy Residence.”
Both men immediately understood.
Good things always attracted those around one who wanted a piece of the pie
Zane said, “I’ll drive you myself.”
Layla was taken aback.
Zane did not actually need to go that far.
“What? Don’t trust my driving skills?”

“Of course not. I just feel a bit embarrassed troubling you so often, Mr. Thomson.”
Upon hearing Layla’s words, Fedrick could not hold back his laughter. “Are you going to hold back?”
“I still have some dignity left!
Despite what she said, it would be best if Zane drove her over.
Zane drove her to the Kennedy Residence and even got out of the car to open the door for Layla,
This news quickly reached Rachel’s ears.
Rachel could not believe it. “Who did you say? Zane Thomson!”
The servant nodded.
When he heard Zane’s name, Peter immediately asked, “What’s going on? Why is Zane here? Our family has never offended
him
Zane’s notorious reputation had spread from abroad to social circles in the country. With the recent revelation that Zane was Flynn’s grandson, Zane instantly gained fame and status in Hastin

Peter dared not provoke such a figure.
In his mind, the Kennedys should just stick to being businessmen.
Rachel glared at Peter. “You’re such a coward! It’s Zane who brought your dear niece back!”
“Layla” If Layla came back, why would Zane be driving her?”
Peter was puzzled.
In the next moment, Layla walked in.

When Rachel saw Layla, she put on a welcoming smile and warmly greeted, “Layla, you’re back! Come, have a seat.”
“Aunt Rachel, you’re being so polite today. It’s a bit unsertling”
Layla casually sat on the couch.
Peter looked around and asked, “Layla, didn’t Zane come with you?”
“He just dropped me off on his way. I didn’t invite him for a meal.
Layla took a sip of tea and asked, “Uncle Peter, did you call me over today for something you need?”
Peter hesitated for a long time, unable to speak. He eventually turned to look at Rachel.
Rachel immediately smiled and asked, “Layla, did you buy a piece of land for a billion before?”
Layla nodded. “Yes, that’s true.”
“Can you transfer that land to your uncle?”
“That’s a sewage area. What does Uncle Peter want it for?”
Just as Peter was about to speak, Rachel interrupted, saying. He wants to use that land to give your younger cousin some experience…
“We Kennedys have so many businesses. Uncle Peter could give him a small company to manage. Given his temperament, he probably can’t manage such a big piece of land.”
Layla’s reluctance prompted Rachel to try to speak up again, but Peter instantly said, “I got the news this morning that the land you bought has been designated as an urban green space. Rachel thought it would be better to keep this land under the Kennedys to develop new projects. Layla, this is a big deal. You can’t handle it all alone. Leave it to me.”
