Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 176

All they had to do was tag along with the staff for a quick property inspection.

Mira knew that she and Kieran would likely draw some unwanted attention today.

But how could they avoid it?

She pulled out her phone and called the person who had been keeping an eye on the situation for her.

"Find a way to let the locals who just sold their houses know that Adrian is here."

If played right, he would become the perfect decoy.

The moment Adrian stepped out of his car, a mob swarmed him before he could even take a single step.

"Give us our houses back!"

"Don't even think about running off with the government buyout!"

His bodyguards quickly formed a protective circle around him and dialed the police.

They knew there was no reasoning with an angry crowd.

Instantly, all eyes in the vicinity locked onto the chaos, creating the perfect distraction.

Slipping completely under the radar, Mira and Kieran pulled the hoods of their jackets over their heads and slipped into the Relocation Office.

Meanwhile, the informants planted by various prominent families were frantically making calls to their bosses.

The city's elite were just as intrigued by the news.

Speculation immediately blew up on the exclusive Melvion City high-society forum.

"Wait, Adrian bought that abandoned factory district?"

"That makes sense. I heard a while back that the new owner used a proxy."

People had seen Adrian at the housing bureau back then, but assumed he was just there to sell some properties. No one had suspected a thing.

"Then what the hell was he doing at the housing bureau last week?"

"Probably paying off the officials to keep their mouths shut."

"How shady. He bought the land, so why try to hide it?"
