Are you absolutely sure Alice and Zachary have acquired the Southvale land?”
Robin shook his head as he watched Alice and Zachary walk away.

He had uncovered an essential piece of intel at Wright Mansion: In just three days, the city council would officially greenlight investment and development in Southvale.
When the announcement came, the area would become a hotbed for investor interest.
If Alice and Zachary knew about this, no threat would make them sell the land cheaply.
Vera shot Robin an annoyed look. “Why would I waste my time lying to you about this?
“Alice is here to meet with Howard, hoping Ms. Dunn will be convinced to take over the Southvale property.”
Robin chuckled, intrigued by her persistence.
Vera sighed. “Of course, I know it’s a long shot. Howard likely won’t agree.
“The Dunn Group doesn’t see much value in that type of investment
“Besides, Southvale is basically a money–pit, nobody wants to take it on.”
Robin shrugged. “If you know it’s going to fall flat, why even bother?”
Vera exhaled. “Alice’s family situation is pretty complicated right now. I’ve told you about it.
“Her grandfather just returned from overseas, but his health is failing, and the doctors have given him a grim prognosis: only six months left.
“With the Millers‘ shareholders and relatives aware of this, they’re angling to seize control of Miller Group. They don’t like the idea of Alice at the helm.

Just yesterday, at the Eastvale project, Alice’s reckless moves worsened Miller Group’s already dire
situation.
“Now, her family and shareholders are up in arms.
“They’ve even brought up the Southvale investment, demanding answers from Alice.”
Robin threw up his hands in exasperation. “She brought this on herself.”
Vera gave a resigned smile. “Yeah. After listening to Zachary’s pitch, Alice invested a billion dollars from the Miller Group into the Southvale project.
“Now, her family and shareholders have turned against her.
“If she can’t handle the Southvale situation, they’ll band together to force her grandfather to strip her of her executive role at Miller Group.

“On top of that, the loan Miller Group took out for the southvale land is about to mature, and the bank has issued a repayment notice,
“If Alice can’t come up with 500 million to pay off the loan in the next few days, the Miller Group could get embroiled in a debt crisis.
“If that happens, it’ll start a domino effect, and the whole company might collapse.
“Today’s contract signing event has already dealt a serious blow to Miller Group.
“If word gets out that the bank loans are overdue, it could be the end for the Millers.
“Technically, the shareholders do have the funds to stabilize Miller Group.
“But they’re refusing to intervene, using the Southvale ness as leverage to take back control from Alice.
“Right now, the Southvale land is Alice’s biggest hurdle If she doesn’t relinquish it, it’ll be difficult for her to stay in Miller Group.
“You might not know this, but Alice has a lot of pride. She’s always dreamed of becoming a powerful businesswoman like Daphne and has no intention of stepping back from Miller Group’s leadership.
“That’s why she’s trying to sell the Southvale land at half its value just to cover the bank loan.
“If she can stabilize Miller Group, her family and shareholders won’t be able to make drastic moves against her for now.
“Her grandfather still dotes on her, so unless something major happens, her family won’t be able to touch her position.”
As Robin and Vera talked, they spotted Jonah rushing in from the lobby.
Having done business with Jonah over the years. Vera knew him well.
“Ms. Silva, good to see you. I’m in a bit of a hurry,” Jonah said, nodding at Vera before he made his way to the front desk.
Vera watched Jonah’s worn, rushed figure enter the elevator and sighed.
“Robin, do you know who that is? He’s the contractor responsible for the Southvale Infinity Tower.
“Three years back, he was a major force in Harmonfield’s real estate scene, even earning the nickname “The Harmonfield Gambler‘ because of his risky investments in the Infinity Tower.
“In the last three years, he’s sold off nearly two decades worth of assets and, between personal financing and bank loans, invested close to 20 billion in the Infinity Tower and the surrounding commercial
projects.
Robin glanced at Jonah’s tall, slightly hunched frame, his lips twitching.
Vera exhaled à deep sigh. “Do you know about the Infinity Tower in Southvale, Robin?
“It’s not just a building; it’s part of a large commercial ecosystem, with a shopping district and business hub surrounding it. Altogether, it takes up almost half of Southvale’s commercial area.

*All of it is under Jonah’s name; it was once his big gamble.
“Only, his luck turned sour.
The promised development documents for Southvale never came through.
“In the end, the city’s investment focus shifted to the Eastvale site.

“Lately, rumors have been circulating that Jonah’s hit rock bottom; no one is interested in taking over his commercial project at Infinity Tower.
“Today, he’s here at Dunn’s Eastvale Development Group–likely to see if Ms. Dunn might assist with his Infinity Tower issues.”
Robin mused, “You think Jonah is hoping the Dunn Group will take over his Infinity Tower project?
Vera nodded. “Seems that way. While he doesn’t have a business relationship with Ms. Dunn, he’s done plenty of business with Howard in the past. Perhaps he’s trying to see if Mr. Dixon decides to help him.
“I doubt Ms. Dunn would agree, even if Howard gives his approval…”
Just as Vera was about to elaborate, Robin’s sudden question interrupted her. “How much cash can you Gather?”
Vera halted, taken by surprise. “What are you getting at? Are you really suggesting that I invest in the Southvale property?
“If that’s what you’re considering, you can forget it. I lack the necessary funds at the moment. Even if I owned shares in the Davidson Group, they can’t be quickly converted to cash.
“Even adding in my shares from the Silva Group, I still wouldn’t be able to afford the Infinity Tower.
“Besides, I’m not foolish enough to throw my money into Southvale, especially knowing it’s a losing venture. I’m not running a charity.
“I feel for them, but that doesn’t mean I’m obligated to assist them.
