“What, do you have objections?”

William immediately turned his head and shot the woman a glare..

The woman shivered under his intense gaze, not daring to utter a word of dissent. After all, William was notoriously known for being extremely strict,

Thus, the woman had no choice but to get started immediately

Meanwhile, at Lockhart Group.

In the office, an expressionless Sebastian sat on his own leather couch, his mind replaying the words Madelyn had said in the car last night – “I won’t let them off the hook!”

If I’m not mistaken, Madelyn should have already made her move by now, right?

However, she might not be aware that Jiminez Corporation has always had a strong foundation. It could be considered the titan of the real estate industry. Dealing with them will essentially be impossible if she doesn’t apply the right solution.

She would, at most, only cause a minor stir in their company. There’s no way she could possibly shake its foundation

With these thoughts in mind, Sebastian couldn’t help but squint his eyes before calling Malcolm over to his

side.

“Malcolm, I need you to do something for me.”

Malcolm nodded. “Please give your orders, Mr. Lockhart.”

Following that, Malcolm leaned in close to Sebastian, listening intently as S

In the end, Malcolm nodded. “I understand. I’ll go handle it now.”

Half an hour later, at a construction site in the city center.

stian outlined the sequence

The winter sun wasn’t overly harsh, and the workers, clad uniformly in dust–proof suits and safety helmets. were laboring diligently on the construction site.

Despite this, each worker was still looking rather disheveled, their faces smeared with a considerable amount of cement and dust.

Several hours had passed when the contractor finally called for a break. Instantly, the group of workers dashed toward the water source, drinking eagerly as if they were parched from hunger and thirst.

At that moment, a wave of sirens echoed from the distance, growing nearer.

The workers glanced toward the road, and to their surprise, they saw two police cars heading straight

toward their construction site.

The leading officer suddenly bellowed, and naturally, everyone obediently raised their hands, their faces filled with confusion as they looked at the police.

Aside from the contractor, that was

He looked visibly flustered, his anxiety palpable as he approached the leading officer. “Officer, what bringi you here so unexpectedly?

The officer snorted, showing no intention of being friendly with him. This property belongs to Jiminez Corporation, doesn’t it?”

“Yes, yes, indeed,” the contractor hastily replied, nodding.

The officer, a man of few words, got straight to the point, “We’ve just received a report alleging that the property development project here doesn’t meet standards. It’s been suggested that there have been shortcuts taken in the construction process, with insufficient steel reinforcements being used and an excessive amount of water mixed into the cement and bricks. We’re here specifically to investigate these claims

Upon hearing these words, the contractor suddenly felt a wave of unexpected relief. “Oh, I see. Officer. you should know this as well, but in large–scale real estate projects like ours, it’s inevitable that well face some skepticism from the public. However, these are just minor issues, so there’s no need for you to concern yourself with them.”

Having said that, the contractor slipped a pack of high–quality cigarettes from his pocket into the policeman’s pocket.

The officer pulled the pack of cigarettes out from his pocket, suddenly giving the contractor a meaningful glance. “You know, this could be seen as bribing an officer, which is illegal.”

The contractor immediately gave a cryptic smile. “Come on, officer, it’s not like it’s your first or second time here. Haven’t I always done this? You need to understand, this real estate project is massive and is one of Jiminez Corporation’s projects! Can you afford to offend such a major pla

“So, what you’re suggesting is that I should turn a blind eye to this?”

At this point, the police officer countered with a question.

The contractor immediately flashed a grin, raising his thumb in approval “Impressive, officer. Your quick thinking is truly admirable. But as the saying goes, a wise man adapts to circumstances. So, how exactly will you handle this matter? Rest assured, I won’t interfere.”

Having said that, the contractor seemed ready to step back.

At that moment, the officer suddenly twirled the cigarette in his hand twice, flashing an amused smile. “This contractor has bribed law enforcers more than once. Arrest him for me!”

“Yes, sir!”

Upon hearing the words, several police officers immediately stepped forward and handcuffed the

contractor.

The contractor clearly hadn’t anticipated that his own bribe would lead to such an outcome. Immediately her to well “Officer I’m innescent! Plassa Theo tayis not in amict me!”
