A mansion appraised at thirty million dollars being marked up to over a hundred million completely clashed with Vertex International's investment strategy.
They were looking for a sucker.
One of the Vertex executives couldn't help but curse out the mansion's owner during a meeting.
That was when Dane spoke up. "Are you accusing my fiancée of being greedy?"
The executive froze. "No, Mr. Green, you misheard. I was cursing the owner of that historic mansion."
"Oh. The owner of that historic mansion is my fiancée."
The employees who had accompanied Dane on the site visit were also at the meeting, and Claire's face instantly popped into their minds.
Before, they had just thought of her as a stunning, genius young woman.
Now, she had officially earned the title of 'The Affluent Heiress.'
The group exchanged subtle glances. No wonder she was his fiancée—they were a perfect match in both status and wealth.
The rest of the executives finally caught on. Whether they bought the mansion or not, it was going to end up in Dane's hands anyway.
And the executive who proposed buying it?
He looked like he was questioning his entire existence, wondering what on earth he had just said.
"Mr. Green, my apologies. I meant no disrespect to your fiancée. Since you're practically family, it doesn't matter whose name is on the deed."
"It's even better that the mansion belongs to the future Mrs. Green! Keep the wealth in the family. When we run our marketing campaigns, we can heavily promote the historic property alongside it."
As expected of a Vertex International executive, his brain worked at lightning speed.
A minute ago, he was dead set against letting the owner profit, and now he was instantly pivoting his strategy.
Since they were family, what was the harm in some free cross-promotion?
Dane gave him a look of mild approval, acknowledging the man's quick recovery.
