Chapter 656
"But we don't have extra funds to develop it, and it's a waste to put it there. Additionally,
the land is not given away for nothing. It's a trade."
Hunter was furious. "Why didn’t you report to me in advance!"
"I did, and you said as long as I can negotiate a cooperation with Deluxe, you wouldn't care
about the cost," Catelyn blinked at Hunter as she replied.
There were not many assets on the wishlist of Deluxe. Luckily the land was one of them.
Wanting to cooperate with Deluxe to build an airport without sacrifice was a pure daydream.
Hunter felt like his heart was bleeding. That piece of land was the first asset he had won for
the company after he became CEO of the branch.
There was a growing interest and an influx of developers and investors into the nearby
lands in recent years, and Hunter had been believing that the land's value would increase
by several folds after a few years.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was his greatest treasure.
He could not believe that Catelyn just gave it away like that. Her ruthless act had no respect
for the company.
Maribel looked at Hunter, who was livid, and whispered in his ear after everyone had left, "Mister Wilson, Catelyn
didn't take your words seriously. If she dares to gift your land, she might dare to replace you one day!"
Maribel's words enlightened Hunter. "Then what's your plan?"
"Deluxe's cooperation with US is built upon the land of yours, so why don't you leave it to me and tell the
headquarters that you have worked hard in the negotiation? Without the project, she has no right to be arrogant."
Hunter was persuaded by Maribel. While they planned their machination, Catelyn was in a good mood because
Joanne was finally willing to come back from abroad.
As soon as Joanne landed in Amarica, she immediately asked Jolene for her new artwork.
It happened that Jolene did not bring it with her, but Catelyn remembered she had one in her purse, so she gifted it
to Joanne.
They went to eat in a restaurant nearby.
Catelyn was not sure if it was because of the food in Natherlands, but Joanne had gone gained some weight after a
month as she now had a double chin, and her jawline was gone, still, Catelyn found her cuter now.
"Wow! Geez..."
Inside the restaurant, Joanne opened the first page of the book, and her eyes glowed.
Catelyn wanted to watch it earlier, but she was afraid she might forget to keep it, and her two kids might see it
accidentally.
So when she heard Joanne scream, she leaned over to peek at it.
With just one glance, she immediately blushed, and her eyes widened.
"Kitty, talk me through..." Joanne gave a wicked smile.
The soup was served, and the steam blurred out the blush on Catelyn's face. "Joanne, you little pervert! You look
silly on the outside, but your mind is dirtier than ours! What are you thinking about all day long?"
"That's because you have a handsome husband! Imagination isn't illegal..."
Just as Joanne was saying, the smell of the soup drifted to the tip of her nose.
There was sudden reflux in her stomach, and her expression changed. She then covered her

Leaning in front of the washstand, she retched.
Catelyn followed her worriedly and patted her on the back. "Joanne, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I ate something bad a few days ago. It’s been like this all the time! It's so
annoying!"
After Joanne finished vomiting, she took a handful of water and wiped the corners of her
mouth.
Catelyn was relieved when she heard that her nausea was caused by food poisoning.
"If I had not watched you take the contraceptive pills with my own eyes last time, I would’ve
thought you were pregnant."
"P...Pregnant?" Joanne stopped taking the water under the faucet, staring blankly at
Catelyn.
She remembered that day they stopped by for her to throw up...
