Shania replied dejectedly, “All I know is that he’s a student at Riverland University.
Her contacts at Retrovintique copied the surveillance footage and sent the buyer’s photo of Harold Delacruz’s genuine piece to the school. However, they only provided a phone number.
Lethan asked curiously, “Why did you call him, and what did Lyrene mean by the 6 million dollars?”
Shania was about to speak when Lyrene shot her a warning glance.
Lethan chuckled resigned/y

“Lyrene, I know I messed up. Go ahead, give me a beating!”
He had once hit Lyrene over Quinn, and she had ignored him ever since.
Lyrene gave him a cold glance. “Get up. Don’t come looking for me or Shania anymore.”
Lethan’s eyes welled up. “Lyrene, are you going to hate me forever?”
Lyrene frowned. “Do I need to repeat myself?”
With a heavy sigh, Lethan stood up and left the office.
Shania gently advised, “Lyrene, let’s leave the past behind us. As siblings, we should try to get along.”

Lyrene simply responded with a soft “Hmm.”
Shein sighed, feeling a headache coming on. “I hope my intel is wrong. If Riverwatch District gets developed and Evermore Properties beats us to it, Yuriel will dominate the real estate sector.”
After a moment of silence, Lyrene asked, “When will we have confirmation?”
Shein took a sip of water and whispered, “The city council has a meeting set in three days. We’ll likely get the latest updates by noon on the third day.”
Without another word, Lyrene hung up the phone.
