Chapter 663
Charmine met his eyes and answered honestly, "Of course it's real. I know the reason you all stayed here for so long isn't to mark up the price, and it's not that you all want more money. You just want to preserve the last heritage area in Burlington.
"I understand your sentiment, and I understand where you're all coming from. The Jordan Group used to be the No.1 development group in the country, and we have the duty to make our country proud!"
Most of the tall towers all around the country were built in a European- esque manner. Only some attraction spots still preserved the heritage buildings.
Burlington was a country of rich culture and history, How could its tradition be drowned with the tides of time?
On the right top corner of the painting, a line of words was written, [Our aim is to bring back the glory of Burlington.]
As the residents realized how much effort and conviction Charmine had to bring back Burlington's glory, coupled with that painting of hers, their eyes welled with tears, especially the Chief's.
Tears rolled down his cheeks. He had grown in Westfield from a tender age; he watched as the surrounding green tiles and walls were destroyed. He watched as tall buildings were built around Westfield.
The town grew busy as their traditions faded gradually...
The prosperous Westfield no longer showed the glory of the past.
They swore to guard this place, with the aim of preserving the last trace of history in this city-to guard the only remaining heritage area in Burlington.
They did tell this to quite a few developers, but they were shot down instead.
In an era of globalization, they chose to guard the old building of the past. They were called rigid, corrupted, naive, and unable to progress with the times.
The ancient buildings were all very detailed, exquisite, and carefully made. Even a carved window was way more complex than the newly built window these days.
This type of architecture required at least double the time and capital. It was impossible to make gains.
Therefore, the developers never considered buildings of a medieval style.
Yet, there she was, Charmine who understood them! She even designed this tower over one night!
Warren looked at Charmine with his reddened eyes, his body slightly trembling. "You're Charmine, right? As long as you can promise to keep our tradition, I'll sign with you! I can even give you this land for free!"
Charmine’s red lips curled up as she agreed, "I won't let you down."
Brandon took out the well-prepared contract and gave it to them.
Max instantly scowled, slamming his hand on the table as he shot up from his seat.
Thomp!
"Chief Warren, didn’t you agree to sell this land to me? How could you break your promise?"
"My apologies, but we've made a new decision now. Please leave," Warren said coldly. 1
They agreed earlier as they did not have a choice. Max said many bad things about Charmine: He told them how she killed Tiffany and how, if they did not sign with her, Charmine would use all kinds of dirty tricks to kill them all. 1
Therefore, for the sake of their younger generation, in addition to the excellent offer, they decided to sign with Max.
Thankfully, the truth was revealed that Charmine was far from a diabolical individual. The people of Westfield no longer had to cooperate with Max D'Cruz!
Max's eyes darkened. "You all want the ancient design? We can design something even better! We can even offer you a better deal!"
