Once they secured the plaza, Elizabeth’s biggest sales outlet would be in their hands. Combined with the pressure from public opinion, she would be isolated and helpless. The value of her farm would be driven into the ground. Then they could step in as “saviors” or “enforcers,” and she would be completely at their mercy.

“This is shameless!” George slammed the table, making the holographic image flicker. “So the smear campaign online and the plaza acquisition… it’s all part of one coordinated scheme! The goal is to force you to give in and take over your farm!”

“That’s most likely the case.” Elizabeth nodded, her gaze steady.

George’s chest rose and fell sharply, filled with anger, helplessness, and regret. “If I had known… if I had known they were like this… I would’ve… damn it!”

He wanted to say he would have let the plaza sit empty rather than sell it to them, but the words died in his throat, leaving only a heavy sigh.

Finding a buyer like Seafarm Group, a company with real capital, was already a stroke of luck.

Even though the price had been pushed down and the payment terms were harsh, it was still a lifeline.

For the sake of keeping the Sharps afloat, for the sake of all the people who depended on them, he had no choice.

At that moment, Elizabeth spoke again, her tone carrying a hint of curiosity. “Mr. Sharp, if you don’t mind me asking, how much were you planning to sell Mercury Plaza for?”

George was still caught up in anger and guilt, so he answered without thinking. “It was originally valued at around two billion, but they pushed it down to 1.8 billion stellar coins. And only thirty percent upfront, the rest in installments…”

Only after he said it did he realize something was off. “Wait… why are you asking that?”

Elizabeth did not answer directly. Instead, she asked, “Have you signed the contract?”

“Not

yet. We just agreed on the price verbally today. The plan was to sign tomorrow and then handle the transfer,” George sighed, feeling even more apologetic. “Kid, I know you’re upset about this, and I…

“Mr. Sharp,” Elizabeth interrupted, her voice carrying a trace of lightness, “don’t sell it to Seafarm Group.”

George thought she was just speaking out of frustration and gave a bitter smile. “Kid, I don’t want to either. But the Sharps are in a tight spot. We really don’t have a choice…”

“Two billion stellar coins,” Elizabeth said.

“What?” George did not catch it, or perhaps he could not believe what he had heard.

“I said two billion stellar coins,” Elizabeth repeated slowly and clearly. “Sell Mercury Plaza to me. I can sign the contract right now and pay in full.”

George fell silent.

For more than 10 seconds, the communication channel felt like a vacuum.

His expression froze, shifting from confusion to disbelief, then to complete shock.

His mouth hung slightly open as he stared at Elizabeth’s young yet completely serious face, as if trying to confirm whether he had misheard her due to stress.

A girl who ran a roadside stall selling potatoes and sweet potatoes was offering two billion stellar coins for Mercury Plaza?

And in full payment?

“Eliza… Elizabeth, are you serious? This isn’t a joke!” George’s voice trembled, completely disbelieving.

“Mr. Sharp, do I look like I’m joking?” Elizabeth smiled instead. There was a calm certainty in that smile that somehow reassured him. “If you agree, we can draft an electronic contract right now. Once both sides confirm, we’ll sign it immediately. After that, I’ll transfer the money to the Sharps‘ account right away.”
