StarNovelChapter 134 Watching Benjamin leave her behind so mercilessly, Shirley couldn't help but feel disappointment settle over her.
That look in his eyes, was it disdain? Why would he look down on her like that? She hadn't done anything wrong.
At that moment, Donald walked up to her, and Benjamin's driver got out of the car. He gave her a respectful nod. "Mrs. Blackwood, shall we head inside?" "You're coming in with me?" Shirley asked in surprise. Was Benjamin planning to help Tomas? She sneaked a glance toward the car window. No matter how she looked at it, Benjamin didn't seem like the kind-hearted type who would step in to help. Shirley burried to the cat and, with her head full of questions, leaned toward Benjamin through the window. "Are you going to help Turbo Impact?" Benjamin shot her a cold, dismissive glance and rolled up the window without saying a word.

Inside the building, the crowd fell silent as Tomas finally got Richard on the phone and stepped aside to negotiate.
Shirley, the driver, and Donald entered the room. Donald cleared a path for them, and they followed behind Charlie, silently listening to the conversation between Tomas and Richard.
"Richard, 100 million? How can you even make that offer?" "Tomas, 30 years ago, you bought that land for only 200 thousand. I'm offering y you 100 million now. What more do you want?"* Beside him, Charlie was shaking with rage, his face pale. He reached out to grab the phone, but Shirley quickly pulled him back. "Mr. Thatcher, calm down." The driver walked over to Tomas and leaned down to whisper something in lus ear.
Tomas' expression changed from conflicted to overjoyed, as though he had just seen the first rays of dawn after a long, dark night.

This amount ofm money is ney is more than enough to solve your current problems and still leave you with a generous retirement fund. If you insist on asking for more, I doubt you'll live long enough to spend it." It was a shameless threat, the kind of insult that made blood boll
Temas clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white as he growled through gritted teeth, Richard, if you want Turbo Impact's land, you can wait u next life." He ended the call with a sharp click, slamming the phone down.
