NovelEnglishChapter 257 Pass Through
“I thought of someone!” Hulda squatted beside David, saying mysteriously, “He has received many
benefits
from Ivan and will save him.”
David’s eyes lit up, “Who’s he?”
Hulda said, “It’s Henry who took over Miller Group. And Ivan helped him a lot with that. He owes Ivan a
lot
and will do us a favor.”
When David heard it was Henry, he was happy for a few seconds but then got upset, “But even if he is
willing to help, he can’t take 14 million. After all, he is still in the initial stage, and many projects need
money. He won’t give everything to help us.”
Hulda thought about it for a while, sent a message, and soon got a reply. She felt the phone vibrate, but
she let out a cheer of surprise after a few minutes, as if she had just received it.
“Someone wanted to buy the houses for sale, but he will buy them alone and want a better price!”
David stopped smiling and frowned, “Better price?! Those houses are already the lowest price. We’ll
lose if we
make it lower.”
“We have no choice, and this is the moment. You’ve seen everyone else won’t help us, and we can
only rely on ourselves. We’ll get almost two–thirds of the money if we sell those houses. If Henry helps

all the money to pay the taxes.”
Hulda analyzed the situation and added, “President Smith and Ivan have been taken to the police
station and
are under strict surveillance. Our people couldn’t get any information, and we don’t know if they are
suffering…”
David agreed immediately, “Okay, we sell!”
Hulda sneered. That was her intention.
Arriving at the agreed place, David saw the buyer. He was like an honest middle–aged man and had an
average look. David hadn’t thought of such a person in Jadney City for long.
He smiled at David and Hulda and said, “My master is busy with work, and let me take care of the
house
affairs!”
The buyer didn’t show up?! David doubted there was some conspiracy. Smith Group had tricked them
many
times, so he was suspicious of everyone.
Was he from Smith Group?
“David?” Hulda tugged at his sleeve and pulled him out of the memories, “What’s wrong?”
“Sorry. Wait a minute!” David smiled at the middle–aged man and pulled Hulda to the side. He
whispered to her seriously, “Do you know where he comes from? I think he’s Smith Group’s man!”
Hulda’s heart skipped a beat, and she thought she got caught. But seeing David’s emotionless face,
she
quickly restrained her mind, “I stayed with Alston for a while and haven’t seen him. Have you seen him
in the Smith family?”
David froze for a moment and replied, “No!”
David had been with Clare for a long time, often in and out of the Smith’s house and Smith Group. But
he had
never seen him.
“Even you haven’t seen him. So he couldn’t come from Smith Group. Smith Group’s men would come
to
insult us instead of sending a new man over.”
David was relieved to hear that, “Maybe I overthought. Let’s go over and sign!”
When David and Hulda came over, the middle–aged man still stood there with the same posture and a
gentle smile. It could tell he was well–mannered and was a housekeeper from a big family.
As if he knew David’s concerns, he smiled, “Have you considered it? If you haven’t, I will come after
you think it through. However, I have to accompany my master to go abroad this afternoon. I’m afraid
we’ll come back in three days.”
Upon hearing this, David quickly said, “Okay. We’ll sell!”
David went to go through the formalities. Hulda finished signing some contracts and gave them to
David,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Now you!”
David responded and took the pen. He carefully read the contracts before signing. The middle–aged
man winked at Hulda quietly, and they smiled.
“By the way, David. This house…” The middle–aged man took the signed contracts and told David
about the
house’s defects. David was afraid he would go back on his word, so he explained and signed.
Hulda took the opportunity to put a piece of paper on the unsigned contract, looked at David without
reading
it, and signed it directly.
After signing, Hulda was relieved and gave the middle–aged man a thumbs up.
Then the man stopped asking questions and left without hesitation after making the sale.
Looking at the 12 million on the account, David was joyful and said to Hulda, “We need another two
million.
Let’s go to Henry.”
“Okay!”
It was morning then. The video of Clare and Ivan being taken into the police car had gone viral on the
Internet. The public relations department of Tansy Group couldn’t stop it at all.
The morning news also kept broadcasting it.
At the airport, Beau and Gigi went to get the boarding pass. Looking at Clare and Ivan who were being
taken into the car on the news, Alston frowned, feeling sharp pains in his head.
It was a
pity that Alston and Cynthia passed each other by one second.
