"Oh?" For a moment, Chet didn't understand.
"I said, I don't know whoever was drunk and said that it'd be good fortune to sell off the factory to raise pigs. Whatever it was, maybe the pig farmer, or the landowner heard them. That's why things ended up like this!" "I have an idea!" A smirk surfaced on Chet's face. He couldn't help but think, "Someone's going to get into trouble, aren't they?" "Check out the history on that piece of land. Check if anything big has happened before, if there're any accidents or death. It's even better if we find out something did indeed happen. Anyway, I want this place to be unlucky. 100 million dollars? I'll make it go for less than 50 million dollars! Also, find out about Frank Cruise. Let's feed him sstories!" "Frederick, you're a smart guy! I'll arrange it right away!" "You are my lucky star!" It was those words Chet had just said that had inadvertently reminded him! Chet took out his phone and looked at the time. Frederick said, "It'll be great if we can have sprogress today!" He was still thinking of making it back! Chet was obviously also excited. He turned around, made a few phone calls, and turned back. He looked down at the land below with a smile.
"Frederick, aren't you afraid if something is really wrong with the piece of land? What if it used to be skind of graveyard? Would it be unlucky?" Frederick sneered and turned his head to look at Chet. His voice was soft and mocking, "Isn't that simple? We'll find someone to cleanse the place. I'm not afraid of living people, why would I be afraid of the dead?" He had experienced many things in life. There was nothing he was afraid of.

After finishing a day's work in Casterwich City, Alicia got off work early and went hto change her clothes. She even wrapped up the gift carefully.
Although Frederick told her to just pick any bag, she still diligently selected a fashionable leather bag, which was red and black. The color was a classic, and it had limited-edition diamond buckles. She wrapped it up nicely and even wrote a birthday card. The price was absolutely not shabby.
In order not to outshine the host, Alicia wore a plain white dress and put on light makeup. Even her lipstick color was darker than usual. Since it was a banquet of the Clements family, there would definitely be outsiders. Although Frederick wasn't around, she was representing him. She was afraid of embarrassing him, so, before leaving, Alicia checked everything once again. She brought a shiny silver handbag and put on a pair of earrings. She drove to the Clements family house. As expected, when she arrived, there were numerous luxury cars parked inside. Since she didn't intend to stay for a long time, Alicia didn't park inside. Instead, she parked the car by the road.
As soon as the engine was turned off, her cell phone rang. It was a call from Frederick. He was worried about how she was doing.
"Hubby? I'm here! It looks like they're holding a banquet..." Although she felt a little nervous at first, hearing his voice made her calm down. She smiled all the way.
"Don't worry! I can handle it on my own. I've prepared the gift. I promise I won't bring shto my husband!" "Okay! I got it!" He knew exactly how smart she was. He had no doubt about her abilities! In Bayton City, Frederick spoke to her as he packed up his stuff.
"Don't take it too seriously. You can listen to them talk if you like, but you can ignore them if you don't. You can leave as soon as someone else leaves Everything at the banquet is just for show. The food is not delicious at all. Don't be greedy with the food. Do you understand?" He told her everything he could think of. He looked at the tand then at his luggage. He was not sure if he could get back in time. He was afraid that she would be disappointed, so he swallowed his words after hesitating for a while.

Don't just think about work!" She thought that he was nagging because he was worried about them wanting to start a family. Alicia's heart warmed, and she asked, "Hubby, when are you coming back?" As she felt the love he had for her, her voice unconsciously sounded coquettish and dependent.
"I'm sure I'll be back tomorrow!" In the past, he would think that talking on the phone while being on a business trip was annoying. It was a waste of tand money. However, at this moment, they had been talking for a while but he hadn't had enough. He didn't want to hang up and wanted to listen to her voice more. She could say anything or even just hum and he would be satisfied.
All of a sudden, Frederick felt that it was a blissful thing to be remembered and missed by m someone. He missed her greatly. Every night that he could hold her in bed, he felt happy! "Okay! Hubby, that's enough. I'm already at the door! I'll go in first. Don't worry. Remember, safety first. The butler is coming over. See you!"
Alicia lowered her voice and kissed him through the phone. Then she quickly put away the phone. She checked her makeup in front of the pushed mirror, pasei Makeuମ୍ Oront of th open the door, and entered the house. Since she was part of the family, she got a different treatment from the outsiders. The moment she stepped in, her present was brought into the house immediately. When she saw Mr. Clements and Penny, who was wearing an elegant dress, Alicia smiled as she walked over. She greeted them respectfully, "Dad, Auntie, happy birthday! It's just a little token of appreciation. I hope you like it!" "Oh, thank you! I'm very happy that you could come!" Penny took over the gift box and glanced at the brand on it. She noticed the limited-edition logo and was smiling from ear to ear. She said to the servant behind her, "Send it to my room!" "Oh yes, where is Frederick? Why didn't he cwith you?" Mr. Clements also nodded with satisfaction, but his eyes unconsciously looked behind her. She could feel his longing for Frederick through his eyes, but she had to tell him the truth.
"He really wanted to come, but he
just called and said that there's semergency in Bayton City that he had to attend to. It's quite troublesome, so it will probably take a few badly days. He Ο. feels bad not being able to attend, that's why he askedto buy a gift and to apologize on his behalf! He even calledba while ago to make sure! I hope the both of you don't mind." Everyone in the family knew Frederick's attitude. However, Alicia's explanation made sense and she was putting in a good word for Frederick. Everyone present was happy with it, including sfriends who cover to greet them. Mr. Clements was very satisfied with Alicia.
Obviously, she was a very sensible lady! X
