The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 762

Though they were dying for more gossip, no one dared to pry further.

Given his utter confidence, it was clear he had chosen his bride on his own terms.

Besides, it was none of their business. Whether she actually made it down the aisle remained to be seen.

And even if she did, Dane was not the type to let his personal life bleed into his business empire.

Returning to the matter at hand, the team dove into their field reports from the west side.

The general consensus was to aggressively acquire the project. They would draft a budget.

This budget, naturally, was substantially lower than the inflated price Latham had demanded.

"And after we secure the acquisition?"

Dane looked around the conference table.

It was the golden question.

The executives began pitching their redevelopment strategies and relocation compensation packages.

Dane absorbed the rapid-fire pitches, nodding at a few solid ideas.

He kept his concept of a culinary district to himself for now; the immediate priority was forcing the buyout.

However, the team perfectly aligned with him on one crucial point: the local residents.

These people had deep ties to their neighborhoods and couldn't be uprooted and banished to the outskirts.

Just throwing cash at them wasn't a sustainable solution, especially since The James Family's initial buyout offers had been downright insulting.

Vertex International had infinitely deeper pockets and could easily afford a generous relocation package.

But Dane wasn't running a charity. He fully intended to squeeze Latham for every cent he could on the acquisition price until they reached a mutually painful agreement.

Delegating the negotiations with Latham to his lead acquisition manager, Dane wrapped up the meeting after a concise hour.

He declared the rest of the evening free time.

Dane called Claire, asking her to meet him at the hotel restaurant.

The rest of the team caught wind of the high-end buffet downstairs and decided to head there as a group.
