"Have you gone through the news?"
My abrupt question stunned Marius. Looking like he did not understand what I said, he turned to face me inexplicably, his voice filled with confusion. "What?"
I looked at him. Retrieving the news I had just read, I handed it to him. "Didn't you see it? Grant Corporation no longer owns the land on Northern Road."
Marius read the news, but there were no obvious changes on his face. "Huh, I see."
It was obvious he already knew about this from his indifferent tone.
My expression changed slightly. I glanced at Marius with a puzzled look. "Judging from your expression, you already knew about this a long time ago. Or is this under both your control?"
My frankness stunned Marius, and there was an obvious tremble in his body.
It was apparent that I had hit the nail on the head.
"Did you argue with Drover because of this?" I asked.
Marius did not answer me directly, but he lowered his head. I did not know what he was thinking. He shook his head after a while. "No."
This answer was unexpected to me.
"If you two are behind Northern Road Real Estate, then..."
Before I could finish speaking, Drover returned, and it was obvious he heard what I said just now. His entire body exuded anger when he walked in, and his serious face was facing me. "Wanda, this has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to interfere."
This sentence again.
His expression was sullen. Drover, who was standing in front of me now, looked different and was no longer as gentle and refined as he looked before. This was not the Drover I knew.
My throat bobbed slightly. I opened my mouth and asked, "Why? Why are you doing this?"
