The more he spoke, the more certain he felt, like he could already see that clueless woman pushed to the edge with no way out.
“With no steady income, high costs to keep things running, and us causing a few ‘small accidents‘ from time to time… I really want to see how long her so–called farm can last. One month? Or two?”
Jordan quickly flattered him, “Mr. Blanton, you’re brilliant! When she can’t hold on anymore, she’ll either leave in shame, or come begging to us. By then, the planting technology in her hands will be ours to control.”
A greedy look flashed in his eyes. “Maybe we can even use this chance to expand into the ‘functional natural crops. The profit there is way higher than selling regular seeds!”
“Exactly!” Rufus finished the wine in his glass in one go, full of confidence. “So, make sure the shipping companies block her completely. Don’t leave her any way out. Also, have people online to steer the talk on Starnet. Say that the Planet A001 environment is extremely unstable, and that her farm is only running because of dangerous, illegal technology. That’s why the shipping companies have blacklisted her. Tie her name to ‘risk‘ and ‘unsafe. Let’s see who still dares to trust her or buy her products!”
“Got it, Mr. Blanton! I’ll go arrange it right away!” Jordan answered excitedly.
After all, if this plan succeeds, Rufus will get the big reward, and as his assistant, he’d at least get a share.
And profits from Seafarm Group were not something just anyone could earn.
Rufus narrowed his eyes and ordered, “When her farm can’t keep running anymore, and we send people to take it over, make sure everything is handled cleanly. After all, she is still the Hewitts‘ daughter–in–law in name. We should at least show them some respect. Don’t let it get messy
messy.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it perfectly!” Jordan said, thumping his chest in promise.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if that farm far away on the barren planet was already in their
hands.
The red wine in their glasses swayed with a dark red glow, reflecting the calculation and contempt in their
eyes.
Just as Seafarm Group and several shipping companies were quietly celebrating, thinking they had completely trapped Elizabeth’s farm on Planet A001 and were only waiting for it to fall apart on its own
In a luxury estate on Centria Planet, Lilith looked at Elizabeth’s cancellation gotice and follow–up explanation. Her cheeks puffed up with anger, but even more than that, she felt worried and refused to give
Her eyes lit up as an idea struck her. She immediately called Elizabeth.
“Ms. Schofield!” As soon as the call connected, Lilith’s clear and urgent voice came through. “I saw the notice! Those shipping companies are so bad! They’re obviously bullying you!”

When Elizabeth saw it was Lilith, her tone became gentler. “Yeah, we’ve run into a bit of trouble for now.”
“Ms. Schofield, since they won’t let you come, then can we.. *e to you?” Lilith’s eyes sparkled with excitement and hope. “We can go to your farm and buy directly, right? That way we won’t need them to ship anything!”
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment. A warm feeling rose in her chest, but so did caution.
She shook her head and said seriously, “Lilith, thank you for your kindness. But Planet A001 doesn’t have a regular passenger route right now, and the navigation signal is very unstable. There are asteroid belts and random energy storms along the way. It’s very dangerous. It’s not worth risking your safety just to buy some farm products.”
Lilith was full of confidence, even a little proud. “Oh, come on, Ms. Schofield, don’t worry! Safety isn’t a problem for us! My family runs a mining business! We’ve explored and developed unknown mining planets way worse than A001, with routes far more dangerous than this! We have top–level exploration spaceships and the best security team. A route like this is easy for us! Just tell me–if we can get there safely, will your farm welcome us?”
So that’s how it is.
Elizabeth didn’t expect this young girl to come from such a powerful mining family.
