When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459 Taken Aback
“Great-grandpa, from what I've heard, the government is planning to issue a notice in three days to demolish the factory and build a subway. If that happens, the value of the land will triple, at the very least, from what Mr. Evans offered. If you invest in real estate there, the return could multiply many times over.” Jonathan spoke in a measured manner.

George blinked, caught off guard by Jonathan's sudden interjection. The boy's calm, confident tone made him pause. Without missing a beat, George called to his subordinates. “Go look into that.”

“Yes, sir.”

George didn't really care if the factory was being demolished or not. What troubled him was Ralph's attempt to pull a fast one right under his nose.

Ralph, on the other hand, was in disbelief. How could a child know about such inside information? “Kid, you shouldn't speak without knowing the facts,” Ralph joked awkwardly. “I haven't heard anything about a notice like that.”

“Seeing her husband being exposed by a child, Paula jumped in.

““Exactly, kiddo. Let's not say things we're unsure of,”“ she said, casting a sharp look at Jonathan, hoping to intimidate him.”

To her surprise, Jonathan remained unfazed. He turned to George and said, “Great-grandpa, I don't like her. Can you ask them to leave?”

Paula and Ralph were left momentarily dumbfounded. Within three minutes, they were courteously escorted out of the house. Vivian, watching from the side, couldn't help but enjoy the moment.

George, however, suspected that Jonathan had fabricated the news about the factory's demolition out of dislike for the couple. He turned to him, asking, “Jon, why don't you like Mdm. Paula?”

Before Jonathan could respond, the subordinate who had been dispatched earlier rushed back into the room. “Old Mr. Sinclair,” he began breathlessly, “it turns out that Mr. Jonathan was right. Ralph had gotten wind of the news early, which is why he came here, hoping to take advantage of the Sinclair family.”
