Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 445

Hearing this, it instantly clicked for Leo. "You're right. If getting here early was all it took, they'd be on a flight back to New York by now."

Thinking back to the mayor's story about their humiliating retreat, Leo chuckled. "Well, good luck to them, then."

Truth be told, Vivienne's arrival this time was vastly different from her previous attempts.

Unlike the aggressively locked doors of the past two days, Garrett and his wife were noticeably more yielding. After a moment of hesitation, they stepped aside and allowed the team into their home.

Vivienne's face immediately lit up with triumph. She assumed they had finally accepted reality. Her voice grew noticeably louder, and as she introduced Mr. Smith, she practically radiated the smug joy of a guaranteed victory.

Mr. Smith, oblivious to the backstage drama, thought this was all due to her hard work. Pleased, he offered her a few words of praise, causing Vivienne's ego to inflate even further.

What they didn't know was that the family's softened stance had nothing to do with Vivienne. It was entirely the result of Mayor Henderson's tireless mediation over the past two days.

He had visited the couple multiple times, patiently reasoning with them. He warned them that stubbornly fighting off these outsiders would only hurt their son in the long run. These corporate researchers were relentless, wealthy, and wouldn't leave until they got what they wanted.

He also told them the truth: there were two separate groups here now. If they were worried, they could take their time, compare the offers, and then make a final decision.
