Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 307

The project was a massive undertaking: the real estate group would provide the capital and handle the construction blueprints, the government would provide administrative backing, and Professor Dale's studio would spearhead the design. The goal was to restore a historic street in Oasinia and transform it into a cultural and commercial pedestrian district.

Bonnie hadn't paid much attention to the details until Dale posted a QR code to join a new group chat. He tagged a few people, including Bonnie, adding a strict warning: *[Join this project group. It includes government officials and executives from the developer. Magnolia Group is basically our client here, so keep things professional.]*

Bonnie's eyes caught on the name "Magnolia Group."

So that was the developer the government had partnered with.

It wasn't a total shock. Magnolia Group was a corporate titan, and their Oasinia branch served as their Eastern Coast Region headquarters. They had a long history of collaborating closely with the government.

She had heard the name frequently over her three years in the city, but this was her first time working directly with them. Seeing the familiar company name inevitably stirred up ghosts from the past.

She had only returned to Cabinda during holidays and never intentionally sought out news about Lawrence. Instead, updates had just naturally drifted her way through mutual connections.

Lawrence had woken up shortly after she moved. For the past three years, he had been focused entirely on physical rehabilitation.

Bonnie still had Odette on WhatsApp. Occasionally, she would see Odette post a photo of Lawrence's back—he looked leaner, but leagues better than the frail man trapped in the hospital bed. Since Shirley and Odette worked in the same educational circles, Bonnie had also heard rumors that the accident had left Lawrence with lingering complications, though no one seemed to know exactly what they were.

Bonnie hadn't pried. It felt as though his recovery was just another piece of casual gossip people shared over dinner.

Last New Year's, Helen and Ned had flown to Oasinia to celebrate with her. Surprisingly, Lawrence's name had come up. Ned had undergone a minor surgery for a polyp, and Helen had bumped into Lawrence at the hospital while he was in for a checkup. They had even exchanged a few words.
