"Colby, have you lost your mind too? That sewage area worth billions?"
Even if they were using that plot of land for money laundering, it was not worth billions.
Adler made a move to check Colby's forehead, but Colby swatted his hand away, "The approval from the city council came through."
"Approval?"
Adler scratched his head in confusion. What was going on here?!
Sophie slowly explained, "For the sake of urban environmental protection and greening, the city council is funding the cleanup of all sewage areas. So, that sewage plot will soon be transformed into a green belt, and it won’t cost me a penny."
Adler was puzzled, "Really? Is there such a good deal?"
Sophie added, "Moreover, based on the size of the land, I will also receive a corporate subsidy worth two billion dollars."
"How much?" Adler stood up from his chair in shock.
Colby, with a calm demeanor, said, "Additionally, the original landowners around the area were real estate tycoon Stephen. With the transformation of the sewage area into a green zone, Stephen has already started new projects, converting the surroundings into upscale residential buildings along with a range of facilities."
Adler blurted out, "So, he’s building from the ground up?"
"And Sophie is planning to develop part of this land into a large commercial street."
Colby spoke unhurriedly, and Sophie raised an eyebrow, "How did you know?"
Colby didn’t answer, but Sophie knew that with Colby’s intellect, this was definitely the best plan he could think of.
Indeed, it was her best plan too.
Adler hesitated for a moment, "But building a commercial street is going to be expensive."
Colby’s gaze remained on Sophie. She turned around, and their eyes met, his eyes seemingly smiling.
Sophie quickly looked away. Though it was just a brief moment, she felt her heartbeat skip. She was overthinking it, she must be.
How could he possibly have feelings for a married woman like her?
At that moment, Colby spoke, "We still have some time. I’ll drive you back."
Sophie glanced at the time and did not rush to answer, "When did you guys see this approval?"
"This morning," Adler said. "Why do you ask?"
"If you’ve seen it, others must have too."
Sophie took out her phone, which had been on mute throughout the drive. Upon turning it on, she found two missed calls from Perry.
