Many people were taken aback by Keenan’s surprising surrender. They thought he would compete with Becky. After all, the Haynes family could afford it.
If he got the land, he would make huge profits in the future.
Even Talia was surprised and looked at Becky in confusion.
Becky gave Talia a small smile but said nothing.
Becky rose and headed over to Keenan after asking Talia to complete the necessary paperwork. “Hello, Mr. Haynes!”
Keenan whirled around to face Becky. “What can I do for you, Miss Ramos?”
With a smile, Becky said, “Could you kindly do me a favor?”
Keenan, brows raised, motioned for Becky to continue.
“Let Rory know that I don’t lack money. But I would gladly accept it if he wants me to get that land. And he owes me nothing from now on. I’ll let Raina’s problem go in light of his kindness.”
Becky then turned and headed towards the trading room after making her statement.
Keenan looked at Becky’s back and his expression changed.
Next to Keenan stood a bewildered Aiken. He could make out every word Becky spoke, but he had no idea what she meant. “What did she mean? I don’t get it.”
Taking a look at Aiken, Keenan said, “Rory called me this morning.”
Keenan was taken aback when he got the call from Rory.
Rory was not the kind of guy who would spend a lot of money to earn a woman’s affection. However, he told Keenan, “If Becky wants the land in the north of the city, give it to her.”
Keenan didn’t want to give up the land because of its enormous potential. Rory, however, did not hesitate to accept Keenan’s suggested recompense.
With Keenan having sacrificed this land for Rory’s sake, it was only reasonable to ask Rory for another piece of land
