The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2579

A few days after Yard Group issued their statement, many people approached me one after another and asked me to give up on the bidding. I knew that they all came to persuade me at Silas' order. In the end, Silas was still worried that I would take this opportunity to raise my bid, which would force him to obtain North Courts at a high price.

Did this not mean that Silas really had his heart set on North Courts and that he really wanted to get it?

Apart from those minions, Theo was also one of those who came looking for me.

As Yard Group’s partner, he also came to persuade me, but I paid him no heed.

I sat before him, calm and composed. "Aren’t you worried that your fiancee at home will make things difficult when she finds out you came to meet me alone like this?"

Theo did not care about what I said and went straight to the point. "Give up on the bidding for North Courts."

I smiled coldly, finding Theo’s words ridiculous. "Why do I have to give up just because you say so? Who are you to be telling me that?”

“Nothing good comes out of you going against Silas. You know this. It’s better if you give up early.” Every single one of Theo’s words was partial toward his partner and did not seem to have any feelings for me.

Deep down, my heart soured, but I pushed it back and replied calmly, "It’s not certain yet who will have the last laugh. Rather than trying to change my mind here, you might as well go back and discuss with Silas how you two are going to win the bid, President Grant.”

"Even if you’re Silas' granddaughter, he won’t let you go as long as you stand in his way. Are you aware of this?" Theo's words were coming out faster now and held a hint of anger. Was he worried about me?

With that surmise, I replied to him, "I’m very well aware. I’ve known Silas’ true colors for a long time, but I won’t back down. I want to know why North Courts’ land is so important to him. I don't want to force him if he doesn't want to tell me. I’m also not afraid to tell you that Nibel will help me. Tyler and Marius as well, so I don’t believe that I won’t be able to beat him.”

“Have you ever considered that even if you win the bid in the end, it’ll be a heavy burden on you? The development costs after that are no small amount.”

"I have Nibel's help. You don’t think I’ll be able to afford it?”

I said this because I wanted to let Silas know from Theo that I wanted the development rights to North Courts as well and that I was not just trying to raise the price so that he would be less wary.
