The True Heiress's Return novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187 

For nearly half a month, Lago had been busy running around Pueru with Gideon. Before arriving, Gideon had already prepared everything in advance. Because Lago previously failed in the bid for the Southville project, he made sure to reach out to Arturo. 

Thanks to Arturo’s connections, they got word about Pueru’s redevelopment plans earlier than the insiders. The area planned for redevelopment was right in the old part of the city. 

Lago originally thought buying old, rundown houses would be easy. However, most people left in Pueru were elderly residents who didn’t want to move. 

Despite the houses being dilapidated, these seniors preferred staying in their old homes rather than living in cramped apartments. 

In the first few days, Lago tried hard to convince them, but not a single family agreed. 

Just when Lago was about to miss the opportunity, Gideon came up with an idea. 

Gideon suggested Lago first purchase the house of the most respected family in the area at a high price and then spread rumors that demolition was inevitable, but the compensation wouldn’t be much. 

Once the official notice was announced, the houses couldn’t be sold! Within a couple of days, panic spread among the residents. 

They couldn’t afford to take a loss! When they heard that the most respected family was eager to sell their house, the others couldn’t remain calm any longer. 

Lago didn’t show up the second time; instead, Gideon went on his own. In just three days, he bought 20 old standalone houses that were in the plan for two million and also picked up a couple of stores on a whim. 

Lago was thrilled when he got the contract and couldn’t wait to video call Yvette. “Sweetheart, look! I’m going to make a lot of money!” Lago’s eyes narrowed into slits from his grin, showing a greedy look that was clear on his wrinkled face. 

“You have to thank Gideon, of course! As soon as he got involved, everything was sorted out!” said Yvette. 

She had already heard about it from Jessie but was skeptical at first. Now, seeing the contract in Lago’s hand… It turned out Gideon was really excellent. Still, she couldn’t help but ask a few more questions, “And the sellers? Have you found them?” 

“Gideon’s got everything sorted! Tomorrow, the 20 houses and two shops will be sold. The other party agreed to this amount.” Lago gestured to indicate it was three million dollars. 

Yvette’s eyes lit up and said, “Not bad.” 

“Haha, now we’ve got the money to start the company!” said Lago. 

Yvette didn’t argue. After the surprise, she found it only natural. After all, she’d already taken Shakira’s luck, so it made sense her fortune was turning. Be it Lago or Gideon, it was all thanks to her influence. 

“Alright, got it. We’ll talk when you’re back.” Yvette glanced at Felix, who had just come in from outside. “I have something to do; we’ll chat next time.” 

After hanging up, Yvette replaced her impatience and indifference towards Lago with a light smile and greeted Felix. “Hey Felix, how’s it going?” Since Felix had some free time today, she brought him along to the company. 

Although Yvette was only managing the entertainment company on behalf of Mitchell, she had long considered herself the boss here. Felix watched as Yvette naturally got up from the CEO’s seat, finding nothing unusual about it.

He nodded slightly and said, “Yes, I looked around. Fortunately, you’re here, otherwise, Mitchell’s company would have been 

in trouble.” 

Felix sighed with guilt, “Walter is overwhelmed with the company’s issues, and you’re balancing studies while managing Mitchell’s business. I’m the only one who can’t help at all…” 

Yvette clung to Felix’s arm, playfully whining, “Felix, you mustn’t say that. For Mitchell’s company, you even agreed to join me on a reality show, and you never liked being in the spotlight. You’ve done a lot for Mitchell too.” 

Felix’s expression changed slightly, as Yvette’s words made him feel uncomfortable. Just then, Felix received a phone call. After he answered, his face lit up with excitement and enthusiasm. 

“That’s great! Yvette, do you know? The show invited Lonely Bird as a special guest. Even though it’s just one episode… I finally get to work with my idol!” Felix said.

Yvette’s eyes lit up and said, “Lonely Bird’s joining? That’s awesome, Felix! Congrats on making your dream come true!” 

Yvette never expected this show to have such a pleasant surprise. It seemed like luck was always on her side, making things better for her every day! “When Mitchell comes back, he’ll definitely be happy with your help too.” 

Seeing his sister’s smile, Felix nodded firmly. “Let’s hope so!” Yvette leaned on Flex’s arm and thought, It’s too bad. Mitchell’s never coming back.’
