After Divorce I Am A Billionaire

Chapter 100

Ashley nodded seriously and started working on the arrangements the next day.

When she went to talk to the head of Oceania Construction, she was told, "Sorry, Atimber Property has already raised the price to 100 million, so we can't give you the goods ... Could you add some money?"

For this large batch of building materials, Atimber Property can actually raise the price to 100 million!?

Were they out of their minds!?

But it was good that their money was invested in the construction of the suburban land in the west of the city, which meant that they were very interested in this land, almost using all the money of the entire company.

Once the cooperation did not go on, they would only lose money and declare bankruptcy, and the land would only be the Freeman Group's.

Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate to slap the table, "The Freeman Group can add up to 150 million and take the shipment."

The head of Oceania Construction was a bit disgusted.

"This ... business is about credibility after all. You only add 50 million, and you want us to break the contract with Atimber Property. This is a little too shabby, right? Besides, it's not easy for us to talk to the other side!"

Ashley was a little embarrassed and couldn't retort in time when the assistant of the head of Oceania Construction pushed the door in, leaned close to the ear and said, "Another 100 million has been added from Atimber Property."

Although it was a whisper, the voice was not small at all.

Ashley heard it clearly and was sullen.

As the future heiress to the Harrington Group which soon would annex the Freeman Group, she could not possibly submit to a small company like Atimber Property.

With a desire to win, she stood up sharply and put the empty coffee cup on the table heavily in front of the person in charge.

With a thud, the person in charge was startled as Ashley raised her chin high and said, "500 million! Cash!"

The person looked surprised, "Deal!"

...

Meanwhile, in the next door conference room of Oceania Construction.

Lyra sat in the main seat. There was a fine tea set on the table. She unhurriedly poured out the first pot of boiled tea, and started the second round again.

The aroma of tea filled the room.

Jackie sat in the left seat, quietly watching her leisurely and skillful movements.

She was worthy of being the daughter of the Lloyd family. She had left Suham for 6 years and still remembered the tea ceremony perfectly.

The sound of the door opening broke the silence of the conference room.

The assistant came in with a delighted face, "You're right. The Freeman group really follows through. 500 million in cash! As the group's funds arrive, we will immediately share the money with you according to the contract, with you accounting for 80% and Oceania Construction accounting for 20%."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Lyra didn't say anything and concentrated on her tea.

Jackie got up and shook hands with the assistant, "Very good. So happy for the cooperation."

Most of the upstream companies were using checks for banks to withdraw money. Therefore, their cash reserves would not be too much.

And the Freeman group could come up with so much cash at one time, so it was powerful. Unfortunately, once the cash was all out, the hole will only get bigger and bigger.

...

Late at night.

Lightning and thunder were exchanged and torrential rain poured down.

In the mountain range between Frayton and the neighbor city, there was a group of people running like madmen on the trails.

"Boss, there's a cave!"

Several people quickly ran to the narrow and dark cave. And they cut some weeds to barely hide the cave entrance. It was a good place to hide temporarily.

Melvin's short hair was soaked with rain and collapsed on his forehead.

His handsome face was abnormally pale, even the lips were not red. He just felt a little bit relaxed but the sharp pain in the waist made he suddenly dizzy so he can no stand properly and propped himself up with one leg.

"Boss!"

They just focused on running at that time when Melvin was obviously injured, but he did not say a word from the beginning to the end.

His men only found that his waist was stabbed by a knife, causing a long and deep bloody slit. The wound had been in the rain and became white by washing. Now it was still oozing blood.

Because of the rain, Melvin began to burn, as if a fever!

If they can't stop the bleeding and reduce the fever in time, he will have a life-threatening condition!

Fortunately, the men were from the army so they understood self-help methods.

The group was busy in and out, and because of the lack of resources, it took almost an hour to dress Melvin's wound.

Melvin woke up from his dizziness and the first words out of his dry and miserable lips were, "Back to Frayton tomorrow ...!"

His men were dying of anxiety.

He was burning up, and he was still thinking about going back to Frayton?

"Boss, your body is too weak. The group outside is still looking for us. If you risk it, your wounds will open up. Do you really not want to die?"

Melvin clenched his teeth. He had survived from the previous and even more serious injuries. This would be a piece of cake.

He eased through the pain and began to sort out what happened this time. "When you guys fought that group, did you notice that they all had a small tattoo on the inside of their arms that looked exactly the same?"

His men thought about it and found a piece of rag that had just been torn after preparing to dress Melvin's wound. It was mixed with the mud and water on the ground. The tattoo was drawn from memory and handed to him.

They gathered around this tattooed rag to discuss.

"It seems to be a kind of animal."

"Yes! It's an animal. Does it look like it has two horns on either side? A rhinos!"

Ted just said this and was scolded by Chad, "Fool! Rhinos have ears on both sides and only one horn!"

Melvin listened to their discussion, with his tightly frowning gaze always fixed on the rag.

After a slight pause for thought, he spoke weakly, "It's deer."

Deer was the totem of the Lloyd family

Although his voice was soft, his men heard it clearly, and their faces became very grave.

On a mission many years ago, they had worked with a team from the Lloyd family in Suham, who seemed to have a similar tattoo under the Lloyd family.

If it was true, former allies had become enemies, and this was ... why?

A long silence fell in the cave as his men looked at Melvin, who had his dark eyes averted. Thy were wondering what he was thinking.

After a long interval, Chad was the first to open his mouth to explain, "Boss, perhaps it is a misunderstanding. We have left the army incognito for so many years. Not many people know our existence at all. This time it may be a mistake ..."

Melvin didn't say anything, and his eyes looked very cold.

The group was very purposeful and clearly came for them.

As far as he knew, there was such an established team with detection and concealment on hand. It was formed by the eldest son of the Lloyd family, Collin Lloyd, who was an all-rounder who had informants both in legal and illegal worlds.

Keith and Collin were brothers.

And when he fought with the leader of that group, the man mentioned, "You ask who I am? You should ask who you have failed!"

When he heard this, he somehow suddenly remembered Lyra and wavered before he was stabbed by the man's knife.

Did this have anything to do with Lyra ...?

If there was, and Keith did things for her, then who the hell was she ...?
