Irvin was speechless.
He forced a smile, "Bro, are you kidding? Do you really think the legend is true? To be honest, I feel that someone made the story to fool those idiots. Don't damage my reputation."
Felix snorted and said, "Your reputation?"
"What? You look down upon me?"
Felix didn't say anything, but his expression showed his meaning.
Irvin was provoked. When he was about to talk back, someone patted him on the shoulder.
"Mr. Kaye!"
He turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly.
The man was named Malcolm Dalton. He was a local real estate businessman in Lanceham. He had met Felix at a banquet before, so they knew each other.
Malcolm smiled and greeted, "Mr. Kaye and Mr. Bissel, nice to see you here."
Irvin nodded, "What's up?"
Malcolm handed over a document in his hand with a flattering smile on his face, "Mr. Kaye, I'm sorry that several of my subordinates who didn't know you refused your request when you wanted to buy the land you were interested in last time. I have already punished them severely. This is the land transfer agreement. Please sign it."
Irvin squinted slightly.
He smiled, "Mr. Dalton, what do you mean?"
Malcolm smiled with trepidation, "Mr. Kaye, I know you don't think highly of my small business, but this is my gift. Please don't mind..."
Irvin interrupted him before he could finish his words.
Irvin said seriously, "Mr. Dalton, I think you must have misunderstood me. I did intend to buy your land for the development of the amusement park, but after a second thought, I found that the position is not suitable, so I changed my mind. I appreciate your kindness. As for this land, you'd better take it back."
Malcolm was confused.
Irvin continued, "Besides, the Kaye family is running the business according to the law. We are not bandits. Even if I really want to buy your land, I will go through legal channels and formalities. You don't need to do this."
Irvin didn't want to disappoint Malcolm, so he said this in a gentle voice.
Malcolm immediately nodded and said, "I see. Thank you, Mr. Kaye. Thank you."
Irvin forced a smile and waved his hand.
After Malcolm left, Felix asked, "What happened?"
Irvin sighed.
"Oh, it's a small business. Recently, my father agreed to let my mother's brother work in the company. After he came to the company, he always takes advantage of his power to bully people and does some shady things. I was looking for a piece of land some days ago. I choose Malcolm's land at that time, but we didn't intend to purchase it. My uncle heard it somehow. He must have threatened Malcolm, so Malcolm comes to me in a panic to say sorry."
Felix frowned.
"There will be trouble if you keep such a person in the company."
Speaking of this, Irvin also had a headache.
"Yes, you are right. But he is my mother's brother. You know my mother well. If I really drive my uncle away, she will cry and bother me. Then it will be the bigger trouble."
Felix didn't want to talk about this anymore.
