Noon.
Luther was in Clarenworth, finishing up the project's wrap-up meeting, having lunch with the project director, and making
arrangements for follow-ups. When it was all over, he set out for his journey back to Khebury.
Casey drove and Luther sat in the rear seat. Soon, the Bentley was on the highway.
"The Clarenworth property project was not very profitable overall, but the price we paid for this is not small. President, should we
stop working with them in the future?" Casey said with a little bit of resentment.
In his opinion, Clarenworth's project was full of surprises and stumbles. Most importantly, the president was also involved in a car
accident on his way to Clarenworth because of the project, and lost his memory. Luckily, the president's life was not in danger.
The gains were few, and the price paid was heavy.

This project might not seem like a good deal, and the benefits did not even outweigh the costs.
"Not exactly." Luther reclined on the seat and closed his eyes, "This is their first real estate contact, so we can’t expect it would go
smoothly. However, their background should not be underestimated. Actually, they own numerous lands. As far as | know, the
coastal area along the border of Clarenworth and Khebury is basically controlled by them. So, working with them on real estate
projects, even if we lose money, we are still paving our way for the future."
"President, you mean, you want the harbor in their hands?" Casey was slightly surprised. He didn't even know that the president
was so ambitious!
"Hmm. In the long run, while we have a firm grip on the domestic market, the R&S Group still needs to own an entire seaport in
order to expand its international business in the future." Luther said lightly.
Casey's eyes shone brightly, "President, you are really ambitious. | did not think of something like this at all. | was just being short-
sighted. I've been with you for so long, but I've grown too little." He was too impressed that the president had such a far-sighted
plan, while he only saw the immediate gains.
"In time, we will build a seaport city of our own. Logistics, shipping, commerce, scenic spots, dining, accommodation, tourism, and
real estate in one." Luther spoke with ssleepiness.
He pressed a button and the seat immediately moved backwards and flattened.
"Simply fantastic and worth the wait!"
Casey was excited to hear it. In the rearview mirror, he noticed Luther flattening his seat and seemingly preparing to sleep.
He reminded, "President, there are blankets under the seat next to you. You sleep for a while, and | will try to drive smoothly."

was no longer bright and was much more suitable for rest.
"Hmm." Luther looked at his watch, "It's almost two o'clock. Drive faster and getto the court by three thirty."
After saying that, he took out a blanket and covered himself with it, ready to rest. A heavy tiredness cover him. After the last
few days of strenuous work, he needed a good rest.
"Okay, President." Casey adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner and turned on the fresh air system to make sure the car
was comfortable.
Arriving at the Khebury court by three thirty? He looked at the navigation, and it was simply too late; he would need to be speeding
the entire tto do so. He knew what Luther was going to do at the court - it had to be to about the divorce with Joyce.
Thinking about it, he could not help but feel pity within his heart. After all, he looked at Joyce, too, in a different light. A girl, with
overwhelming intelligence, and overwhelming design talent, was rare.
