Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 397

Buddy looked at Victor doubtfully. He had met Victor at Upper East Sleglund with Delmont the other night.

Buddy said, "You asked me who the previous legal person was."

Victor said, "That's right. I had asked you that last time but Delmont didn't want to answer my question. I can now tell you who the legal person of the land is."

Buddy became nervous when he heard that. Did they make a mistake and trusted the wrong person?

Victor couldn't bear to look at Aisling’s pale face. She seemed to have trusted the wrong friend this time.

Victor said slowly, "The legal person of this piece of land is the cousin of your friend's husband, Aunt Clement. They bought the land together but realized that no matter what they build they would not be able to profit after estimation. Moreover, the start-up capital is very huge and it is hard to get a bank loan. Since the people in the industry have kept this matter a secret, many outsiders are unaware about this.

They resell the land because his wife knows you,

Aunt Clement.

You did make a lot of money when you invested in real estate for the first time. It was a bait from the beginning. If I was right, your friend urged you to buy that piece of land after you had made money. However, you didn't know that the land was problematic.

Even if you build a residential building, it can't exceed ten stories. That is all the information we know at the moment.

These are just the basics. If you want to know about the specifics, you can ask Mr. Calder."

Aisling's face turned pale when she heard that.

Victor was right. Her friend instigated her to buy the land after she had earned some money. They had known each other for a long time and Aisling had witnessed her friend's family making a lot of money.

That was why she dared to invest. She had earned some money when she invested for the first time. The clothing business of the Clement family was in a bad state and it was not easy to do other business. They had discussed changing their line of business. However, she was too simple- minded and had no knowledge of real estate.

No wonder Zaiden was unwilling to meet her.

The news was also a blow to Buddy.

He had never thought that the inside story would be so deep. The Clement family agreed to buy that piece of land after discussion because it was located in a commercial area and they were optimistic about the prospects there.

It was just a street away but why was it so problematic?

Aisling looked at Victor anxiously and said, "Victor, you have to help me this time. I've used all my family assets. The Clement family will be doomed if we can't build a house there."

Victor sat quietly and looked down with no expression on his face, causing everyone at the scene not able to read his thoughts.

When Aisling saw that Victor was indifferent, she spoke hurriedly, "Victor, say something."

Anson looked at Aisling sympathetically. The Clement family already had enough money but they were greedy for more. The land seemed to have great commercial value. However, they spent all their entire family assets on the land before doing any research on the inside story.

Aisling’s friend was indeed remarkable!

Anson wanted to see what kind of friend she was if he had the chance.

It was indeed remarkable for someone to be that eloquent!

Haven could not believe her ears when she heard Aisling's words. If the Clement family could not come out from this mess and went bankrupt, Rebecca would not agree to let Vincent marry her.

She would have to marry Vincent as soon as possible. That way, she would have half of the Alwynn family's property even if they got a divorce in the future.

She didn't want to live a poor life. She had been used to a luxurious life all these years and couldn't suffer together with the Clement family.

Victor stood up suddenly and said indifferently, "Aunt Clement, do not let anyone know about this matter. Let’s start the bidding first and see what happens."

The amount of money needed was too large. He could invest but that would not solve the root of the problem. He was afraid that there was an inside story that he was unaware of.

He glanced at Haven and Aisling instantly understood what he meant. She gave a warning glance at Haven and said, "Haven, you can't tell anyone what you had heard tonight."

Haven looked at Aisling with a sad face when she heard that. She asked heartbreakingly, "Mom, don't you trust me? What good will it do to me if the

Clement family falls apart? Don't worry, Mom. I won't tell anyone about this." She would only have a good life if the Clement family survived. She was the last person who wanted the Clement family to go bankrupt.

If the Clement family did go bankrupt, with her looks, she could still marry a rich man and live a happy life.

She would think of a back-up plan for herself in everything she did.

"Okay!" Aisling nodded. She looked at Victor and asked, "Victor, you'll definitely help me, right?" NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Victor was still expressionless. He glanced out of the window. The sky was slightly gray. He said in a flat tone, "I owe the Clement family and I have never refused the requests made by you, Aunt Clement." He helped the Clement family because of Eden.

Haven asked angrily when she heard that, "Mr. Alwynn, what about me? Why did you refuse Mom when she asked you to marry me?"

"Haven!" Buddy looked at her angrily. How could she not be embarrassed to say something like that?

Haven looked at him discontentedly and grumbled, "Buddy, was I wrong? He said that he had never refused Mom but he actually refused to marry me when Mom asked him to do so." She had to speak her mind at this point.

Lucian could not bear to listen to Haven any longer. His gaze was indifferent and he said in a sarcastic tone, "Why should Victor marry you?"

Adonis who was standing at the side also said sarcastically, "Yes, Lucian is right. Why should Victor marry you? Relationships have to be mutual. How can you force Victor to marry you?"

Anson added quickly, "Haven, you're really shameless. You say you would marry Victor no matter what but you're together with Vincent. Both of you are about to get engaged. Even if you do not feel ashamed for saying something like that, we feel ashamed for you." Anson's words were even more vicious.

Haven was embarrassed and angry at the same time when she heard their sarcastic words. She was only expressing the resentment in her heart and the things that she dared not say before. Was she wrong to say that?

Victor's remarks just now were a slap in the face to himself.
