At 10 AM sharp.
Inside the city government press conference room.
Mayor Henry Wright announced that Harmonfield''s investment focus for the next 20 years will, aside from the Eastvale Ecological, gradually shift toward the development of the Southvale plots. The goal is to integrate with the neighboring Havenport Economic Zone, harnessing its economic influence to elevate Harmonfield''s economy to a new level.
As soon as this announcement was made, it stirred a massive reaction across Harmonfield.

Harmonfield International Airport.
As soon as the core members of the Miller Group received Alice''s grandfather, Hank Miller, they also learned of the city government''s announcement about investing in the Southvale plot
Alice''s uncles, aunts, and family members were so absorbed in questioning Hank about the plot investment that they scarcely inquired about his health,
They argued about the matter all the way from the airport to the Millers vi.
Alice''s aunt, Hannah, was the first tosh out, "Alice, look at the mess you''ve created!
"I suspect you knew the city would reinvest in the Southvale plots, and that''s why you tricked us into selling all our projects to Robin.
"Tell
how much did you gain from this?
Alice was astonished, "Aunt Hannah, what are you talking about? If I had known the government would make this announcement, would I have sold my own Southvale properties to Robin at cost?" 2/5
Chapter 150 That''s Our Fortune!
Hannah scoffed. I don''t care! Either way, this was your loing. You must now ger Sourlivale plots back from Robin at the original price
"We bought thatnd in Southvale for less than 300 million, and now it''s valued at close to two billion!
"With the current trend, it''s only rising higher Alice, less than 24 hours, you''ve made us lose billionst You''ve med ud
"Alice, if you don''t get those plots back, and you think you''ll be the Miller Group''s chairperson, well, dream on None of us will support you"
Alice''s uncles and other family members joined in, pressing her to reim the Southvale plots..
Hank, baffled by the uproar, spoke up, "What are you all arguing about? Seeing me back isn''t enough. you''d rather see me dead sooner!
At this, Hanmah and the others finally quieted down. "Dad
Hannah began to cry, saying, "Look at what your precious granddaughter has done! She''s betrayed us! She tricked us into selling our Southvale plots to the Dunns. This time, we''ve suffered a huge loss! "If it weren''t for her, every one of us would still have our plots, which are now worth several times more." Hank frowned deeply and asked, "Alice, is what they''re saying true? What were you thinking?" Alice, frustrated, responded, "Grandpa, they''re just making things up!
"Before this, the Southvale plots were practically worthless. You must have seen the news, Grandpa. "At the time, the bank canceled our loan for the Southvale plots, demanding that we repay 500 million. The Miller Group didn''t have the funds, so I thought of selling off my Southvale plots to raise cash, and reached out to the Dunns
"Vera mentioned that Robin had some cash on hand, and he bought it without asking any questions.
"Robin: Hank asked, "Who''s Robin?
Hannah interjected. "He''s that poor guy your beloved granddaughter broke off an engagement with! Now he''s quite popr at Shirley''s side!"
A sh of surprise crossed Hank''s face. "Robin joined the Dunns? Alice, are you still in touch with him?" Alice sighed and replied, "Grandpa, although I broke off the engagement, I know he still hasn''t let go of "Recently, he''s been trying every possible way to get close to me, hoping the Millers would ept him, but I''ve turned him down every time.
"The only reason I sold my Southvale plots to him was that I had no other choice and took advantage of the opportunity. I know it was Shirley who provided the funds for him.
"Then my aunts came to me, asking me to sell their plots to the Dunns as well

"They think the Dunns don''t care about this amount of money, Alice added.
Hank''s frown deepened. "Does the Dunns trust Robin that much?"
Jeffrey interjected, "Dad, Robin''s nothing but a fraud! I don''t know what''s gotten into Shirley, but she''spletely fooled by him. Everyone in Harmonfield knows this."
Hank nodded. "Alice, go on."
Alice shook her head. "I only agreed to my aunts'' request because I saw how much the Dunns trusted Robin.
"At the time, the Dunn Group suddenly injected billions into the Southvale plots, although I don''t know where they got their information.
"Once word got out, all the original Southvale plotholders flocked to Dunn Group to n
negotiate.
"In that situation, I helped my aunts and uncles sell their plots to the Dunns through Robin "How could I have known that the government would suddenly prioritize investments in the Southvale plots? It''s not just
me-all of them and every other original Southvale plots investor took a big loss.
"Now my aunts are ming me, saying I tricked them. Grandpa, don''t you think they''re being unreasonable?"
With a stern expression, Hank replied. "Hannah, you''re her senior. How could you bully Alice like this?
"She couldn''t have known the Southvale plots would turn from worthless to prized overnight. It was your decision to sell back then; how can you me Alice?"
Seeing that even her father took Alice''s side, Hannah reluctantly fell silent.
After hesitating for a while, she muttered. "Dad, are we really just going to let these billions slip through our fingers?
You''ve been working hard for decades, yet we could''ve made more in one day from those Southvale plots!
"Are we just going to watch that money go to the Dunns
"That''s our family''s fortune"
Hearing this, Hank clutched his chest, feeling the ache of regret
By today''s market value, those sold Southvale plots were worth at least four or five billion-and still climbing
If Alice could leverage Robin''s infatuation with her and get thend back at the original price, would be on the brink of bing a billion-dor family-a dream he''d held for decades. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he turned to Alice.
"Alice, your aunt and uncles aren''t entirely wrong.

"Just now, you mentioned that Robin is still infatuated with you, hoping to win your favor. This is a good thing! It shows he still cares for you deeply and that you''re truly charming!" Alice blushed. "Grandpa, what are you saying?"
Smiling. Hank replied. "Since Robin still likes you, having him help you with a few things would be perfectly reasonable."
"Grandpa, what are you implying? Are you asking me to fulfill the engagement with Robin? I refuse!" Alice eximed in frustration.
"I''ll never settle for someone like Robin! He has no background, no refinement!
"Grandpa, you know my dream is to be a woman like Daphne! Robin and I aren''t on the same level- I can''t let myself be held back by someone like him!"
Hankughed heartily. "Alice, that''s not what I meant at all. I just meant that you could approach Robin to try to resolve this Southvale plots issue. Since he''s so fond of you, he''ll surely help you. "This has nothing to do with any engagement."
