Chapter 1286
Meanwhile, Stella was not idle either. She decided to reach out to relevant authorities and discuss a potential collaboration. She got up at six in the morning and set off with Ted. All parties showed up by around 8:00 a.m., and they delved into the matter for over five hours. It was almost 1:00 p.m. when they finished the meeting.
Stella glanced at the documents in her hand, and relief swept over her.
“You could always retain a portion of the land, you know,” said Ted.
Everyone knew how expensive land was in Rivera.
“This plot of land was originally in my grandfather’s. He entrusted it to my mother before passing, and it became my responsibility since her departure from the world. My grandfather knew that his two younger brothers probably would not be heard from again. Still, he guarded the land, seemingly awaiting a reunion. What I’m doing is not precisely a donation, either. The land inherently belongs to the state. I’m just giving it back in advance by donating my grandfather’s mansion,” Stella smiled and said.
Ted glanced at her and muttered, “You could consider donating a portion of Keegan’s estate to increase your reputation.”
Stella did not know how to respond. She bit her lip and asked, “Mr. Eldrich, did Keegan bully you or something when you were still in school?”
It took Ted a moment to say, “He once took the water I boiled for my noodles to soak his feet. Does that count?”
Stella fell into thought. ‘I guess it does since not many would remember such an incident so clearly…’
As she mulled over this, Keegan called her on the phone.” What are you guys talking about?” he asked.
