The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Nathaniel Sloan, Do You Know My Grandpa?

Nathaniel Sloan finally looked over. "Hm? Is everything arranged?"

Ian Perry said, "Yes, sir. As soon as the funds are transferred, we’ll announce the news. By the way, Ms. Laura Jennings wanted to see you just now."

Nathaniel Sloan’s lips curved into a meaningful smile. "She’ll get her chance to see me."

He would wait until the Sloan Family secured the land and was overcome with joy, and then he would suddenly drop a bombshell on them.

Then, he would let the Sloans know that the "Mr. Lynch" who had organized the auction was none other than himself.

’I wonder what kind of expressions those hypocrites will have on their faces?’

Beside him, Estelle Lockwood blinked. "What news?"

Nathaniel Sloan’s smile deepened. Ian Perry knew not to offend this lady, so his tone was equally respectful. "There’s something buried under that land."

Estelle Lockwood raised an eyebrow. "Buried what? A cemetery?"

Crestfall had developed rapidly. A few decades ago, the Keldon Business District was just a barren wasteland known as "the graveyard." In ancient times, it had been a mass burial ground, but that was hundreds of years ago. No one should care about that anymore.

But Ian Perry shook his head. "There’s a cluster of ancient ruins underneath it."

Estelle Lockwood thought she had misheard. Then it hit her—Crestfall had been the capital of a small kingdom in ancient times, which meant...

’Oh... If that’s the case, the land can’t be developed. Not only that, it will have to be protected as a historical site. And since the land was acquired at an auction, even if there’s compensation, it certainly won’t be for the full 19 billion. They’ll only be compensated for the starting bid.’

Estelle Lockwood pondered for a moment. ’What was the starting bid for this land again? Three billion?’

Nathaniel Sloan said, not without a hint of regret, "I originally planned to set the starting bid at one billion, but I was afraid it would be too low and arouse suspicion."

Estelle Lockwood: "..."

Only a few people knew this information, so the Lancaster and Sloan families were still celebrating extravagantly.

The others didn’t know what to think, but they wouldn’t dare disrespect the Lancaster and Sloan Groups. The compliments flowed endlessly.

"Chairman Sloan, your son is truly worthy of you! To make such a bold move right off the bat—he has a boundless future ahead of him!"

"Yes, he is the son I value most, after all. At first, some people were worried Theodore couldn’t compare to Nathaniel, but now look at him... Ha..."

Ethan Sloan was grinning from ear to ear, and the entire Sloan family was immersed in a joyous atmosphere.

The more Liam Sloan watched, the angrier he became.

He was especially perplexed by Laura Jennings’s constant praise for Theodore Lancaster and her proud, vicarious expression.

’Nathaniel’s been set up!’

’His mother is actually Theodore Lancaster’s biological mother, and Nathaniel is the legitimate son who was swapped! Nathaniel is probably Miranda Lancaster’s son! After swapping the prince for a wildcat, she even has the gall to criticize the real prince!’

’Damn it!’ The more Liam Sloan thought about it, the angrier he got. ’Isn’t this just another kind of badger game?’

Laura Jennings couldn’t be bothered with Liam Sloan’s thoughts right now. She was impatient to announce Theodore Lancaster’s identity to the world and show off his excellence, so she eagerly proposed:

"Ethan, now that Theodore is back, it’s time he started getting involved in company affairs. I think the timing is perfect. In a few days, let’s go to the Sloan Group and officially announce his identity."

Laura Jennings’s eyes darted as a plan formed in her mind. "Oh, and remember to make Nathaniel attend, too!"

...

Nathaniel Sloan received Laura Jennings’s message. ’Hm, perfect,’ he thought. ’I’ll announce my news at the Sloan Group’s shareholder meeting, then.’

Estelle Lockwood suddenly thought of a question and asked with great curiosity, "Nathaniel Sloan, did you know my grandfather?"
