Although she didn't appreciate Jeremy's presence, she had to be courteous as he was, after all, her uncle. Hence, she stepped out of her office to welcome him.

“Uncle Jeremy, Lily, what brings you guys here today?”

Jeremy surveyed the surroundings of the steel mill. His eyes glinted greedily. “Mm, I'm here to check on the environment of the steel mill.”

“Lacey, you did a great job taking care of the mill.”

Lacey was surprised because Jeremy had always looked down on her but was now actually complimenting her out of the blue.

Lacey replied cautiously, “Not really.”

Jeremy went on, “Lacey, I've talked to your grandfather, and we do not want to waste your talent handling this steel mill anymore.”

“I have decided to hand over the ten-hectare land of mine in the eastern area to you. I'm sure you will be able to build a new steel mill on a larger scale.”

Lacey couldn't believe her ears when she heard what her stingy uncle told her.

He's offering me his ten-hectare land? I'm sure he's up to no good.

She decided to proceed with caution. “Uncle Jeremy, are you seriously going to hand over the ten-hectare land of yours in the eastern area to me?”

Lily scoffed, “You must be dreaming, right? It's a plot of ten-hectare land we're talking about. Do you really think we're giving it to you for free?”

Lacey knitted her eyebrows. “What sort of business do they have with me?”

“You should consider yourself lucky! In return for the plot of ten-hectare land, we only want this plot of five-hectare land of yours.”
