NovelEnglishChapter 1442 Strike Gold
Instead, it was now the land Kenton had purchased at a high price that would remain unchanged for the next
decade. It was essentially a worthless plot of land!
The policy could have applied to any piece of land. Why did it have to be the one Wynter had gotten?
Alejandro was doomed! Everything was doomed!
Alejandro couldn't help but tug at his hair as he pretended to feel unwell while bracing himself against the desk.
In reality, his mind was racing with questions. How did this ignored land suddenly slated for development? It felt
as if fate itself was playing with him!
Finnian placed his pen down after his announcement. "Our department has been very busy lately. Sof you
may inevitably feel tired, and when people are tired, they are more prone to making mistakes. Hence, | remind
everyone not to harbor any wishful thinking.
"Alright, | have another meeting this afternoon. Discuss this during your internal briefing later and quickly
implement the development policy."
Finnian was the first to leave. He was indeed busy and highly efficient.
Meanwhile, Alejandro remained seated, still stunned by the announcement.
A colleague called out to him, "Alejandro, what are you waiting for? You should tell the investors who bought the
land this great news."
Despite his inner turmoil, Alejandro managed to force a smile. "I'll call her shortly and tell her to hold off for
now."
His colleague continued, "I wonder who bought the land. How fortunate of them!"
Alejandro felt the weight of the situation bearing down on him. He finally stood up after the conference room

The discomfort he felt wasn't just due to the land but was also because of Finnian's final comment. That was
definitely a warning.
Alejandro knew that he had been skating on thin ice and toeing the line of propriety. His involvement with the
Wray and Montclair families and his promise to Kenton to set Wynter up were clearly violations as a cadre.
Yet, he justified his actions by thinking that he had to show Kenton srespect given his connections with the
higher-ups. It wasn't just about the money. The most important thing was that "that man" could see his loyalty.
Otherwise, the urban village wouldn't have remained stable for so many years and turned into the powerful force
it was today. Everything had been done according to "that man's" intentions!
Alejandro reassured himself that, no matter what, he had endured hardships for them even if he hadn't made
notable contributions. He probably wouldn't end up like Alden, who committed suicide, after being discarded like
a pawn.
Moreover, Finnian had only given him a warning without saying much else. After all, "that man" was still above
him.
Alejandro still had to deal with the group of people outside.
He glanced out the window to find Kenton standing right in front of his Bently, flanked by several figures from the
Chamber of Commerce. They didn't look at all like businessmen and instead resembled a horde of bandits.
Alejandro had always viewed Kenton as someone who had simply achieved success through luck.
However, he was increasingly convinced that Kenton's success was rooted in ruthless and unscrupulous
methods.
He even harbored suspicions that Kenton might have blood on his hands. However, he decided to keep these
thoughts to himself. After all, he didn't dare say much about this.
Alejandro had no intention of leaving as long as Kenton and his men remained outside.
He instructed Skyler Avery, who

skuStion outside. Ideally, he wanted
