Chapter 530
Julian noticed her pale expression and didn’t dare press her about making love anymore.
He sat up immediately, helping her sit up as well. “Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Tell me. Don’t hide if from me. If you’re sick, we’ll go to the hospital right now.
As he spoke, he reached for his phone, ready to call Teddy.
Louisa quickly grabbed his hand. “I’m fine. I’m not sick, just a little tired.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Seeing her insistence, Julian didn’t push further, but he warned, “If you feel anything wrong, tell me immediately.”
“Okay.”
Louisa agreed.
Afterward, she showered and went straight to bed.
Julian watched her peaceful sleeping face. After a while, he checked his phone–just past eight, not even nine yet.
She’d never gone to bed this early before.
But if she were really sick, she wouldn’t hide it from him.
She should be fine for now.
Could it be the change in environment?
Julian still wasn’t at ease.
He looked out at the pitch–black night sky. This old town was charming for tourism, but its medical facilities were severely lacking.
If something really was wrong with Louisa, getting treatment would
be
difficult.

They needed to wrap things up here quickly.
He picked up his phone and sent Teddy a message: [Contact them. Meeting tomorrow.]
Teddy replied quickly: [Yes, Mr. Tudor.]
Louisa had no idea what Julian had arranged. She slept soundly through the night.
When she woke, it was past seven in the morning.
Julian was already up, sitting on the edge of the bed talking on the phone.

She gave a lazy hum
It wasn’t that she wasn’t awake–she just felt constantly exhausted.
Julian turned around, gripping her shoulders to steady her. “Even if you’re sleepy, you can’t sleep anymore. You’ve had enough rest. Go wash your face and eat something. I’m taking you to meet some people later.”
Louisa snapped awake, curious, “Who?”
Julian said, “You’ll find out when we get there.”
Louisa was even more puzzled. Who could possibly be worth meeting in this remote place?
Unable to figure it out, she let it go.
After breakfast, she, Julian, and Teddy headed to the town square.
The square featured a landmark building–worn but meticulously maintained.
They entered a meeting room.
Four people were already waiting inside.
Two were older men; the other two were young–a man and a woman.
Through introductions, Louisa learned that the older men were the town mayor and the head of the county’s cultural tourism bureau.
The younger two were representatives from a cultural tourism platform.
Only then did Louisa understand–Julian was setting up connections for her.
To develop this place into a cultural tourism town, she’d need government approval.
And the government was eager to revitalize the town.
Louisa had prepared thoroughly the night before. She briefly outlined her strategic plan.
The tourism bureau was extremely satisfied.
The mayor was overjoyed. “When Mr. Young contacted me yesterday, I was so excited I couldn’t sleep all night half thrilled, half worried. Thrilled that our

finally has a future. But I was also worried. Most of the people here are elderly and children. This is their brime, and no one wants it unrecognizable. I safraid you’d do large scale renovations. But seeing Ms. Forbes: plan, it looks like we won’t need major construction just some restoration, right?”
Louisa smiled and nodded. “Yes. We preserve the town’s local character and cultural heritage to the greatest extent possible
“Then I have no concerns. The mayor’s voice trembled with emotion. “This ancient town has over a thousand years of history, I was terrified it would and disappear one day. Ms. Forbes, you’ve given us a lifetime…
He could barely contain himself.
Louisa smiled warmly. “You’re too kind.
Next came negotiations on investment and cooperation.
The process went smoothly. They quickly reached preliminary agreements and signed contracts on the spot.
By the time they returned to the hotel, Louisa still felt like everything had gone too smoothly to be real.
Julian asked with a smile, “What, regretting it?”
Louisa looked at him. “Julian, you have connections even in this remote place. I can’t help feeling like someone was pulling strings behind the scenes. Tell me–was it you?”
Julian laughed. “You’re only realizing that now? Ms. Forbes, is your intuition slipping?”
Louisa fell silent.
He wasn’t denying it?
Wait…
