Bryan was so shocked, who would be so dumb to sell that land, even if she had no money to invest, she could find other people to invest on that land and then she could take a share.
What the hell was she thinking?
Even if Bryan didn't approve of Shirley's way of thinking at heart, but he still pretended to lift the contract and look at it seriously.
Then he pretended to be surprised and said, “This piece of land is quite valuable, I didn't think that the Koch family would be so sincere.”
Seeing his attitude, Shirley smiled in her heart indifferently and slightly raised her eyebrows as she said, “How much does it worth?”
“Hm, tens of millions.”
At that time, her cell phone rang because of a message.
Shirley took her phone out, opened the message that Cameron sent her, coincidentally there's a message about the land above it.
After she read it in detail, she stepped forward and handed her cell phone to Bryan, she was smiling with a hint of sarcasm.
“This land is worth 400 millions in J city, as long as it gets developed, it'll definitely be a profitable transaction, these two years the Clark family has been planning on Country A's development project and it will start at the end of this year... The Koch family is just a small family that can't even afford a bottle of the sand there, how could they get such valuable land?”
Bryan stared at her cell phone, he more or less glanced at the content of her phone.
He didn't feel guilty because his lie got exposed.
His face was tense while his eyes looked indifferent, “This is the compensation that members of Clark family should give you.”
“Compensation?” Shirley took her cell phone back, “Bryan, can you stop being so childish? That's a grandpa's eager love for his grandson, it's very normal for not wanting a third person to ruin his grandson's wedding... Besides, the other party is not unreasonable either, he already apologized to me yesterday.”
“It's not enough!” Bryan suddenly straightened his neck, stood up, and stared at Shirley, “His words to you were too over the line, he even said that in front of two children, that’s the same as stabbing someone with a knife, moreover, I didn't ask Darcy for this contract by force, he's the one who used that land as an apology, if you won't accept it, that land of his will be under my name, for us, the Moore Group, having another piece of land with good fortune is indeed a good thing, but I don't want to make a fortune out of Darcy's land, he gave it to you so just accept it, don't be so stupid, he bullied you but you still think for him... From now on, you'll realize that even if money can't do everything, everything needs money.”
Towards the end, Bryan spoke even gentler to her.
He knew that she's so hardworking, wasn't it just to earn more money and give her two children a better life?
Now when he wanted to treat her well, she wouldn't accept anything else than work benefits, he could only use other ways to give her and her child a good life.
Bryan's words made Shirley speechless.
Bryan went around the table, walked up to her, and said, “Paisley, you don't have to consider that Darcy is my good friend, then you can not do anything on him.”
Shirley was stunned, she suddenly looked up at him.
A part of that must be because Darcy helped her, her grandpa was confused and used by Amelia, not as serious as a big deal.
“Bryan, you can let Darcy say sorry again to me, but I can't accept this land, if the two children know that they can get something for getting scolded by someone, their moral standard will be misled, I gathered everything I have now bit by bit, so my two children must be more sensible than other children, they know how hard my life is, I don't want to let them to be rich second generation that only knows how to enjoy, I hope that they understand that there are sufferings, ups and downs, in this world.”
Even if those last few words were quite cruel for 5 years olds.
But when there's a conspiracy or disaster, there wouldn't be any mental preparation.
Shirley took the contract and handed it to Bryan.
Bryan lowered his head, he then looked at Shirley for a very long time.
