Chapter 252 An Unexpected Encounter
I felt a sense of relief now that things were clear.
It seemed that the Tobshampton Group was also caught up in this. This might not end well
for Matthew,
but he had been too eager to stand out and crush me.
This time, he would have to rely on his luck. He and I were like cunning foxes, yet we
couldn’t outsmart
these two clever vixens.
Looking at it this way, perhaps it wasn’t so bad that I wasn’t entangled in this battle of
wits with them. I
preferred making modest profits in peace and finding contentment.
After lunch, I had Benjamin and Carol accompany me to the construction materials
market. It had been a
while since I last visited.
This market was where we had started our journey, tirelessly seeking clients. Reflecting on
those early days brought a sense of satisfaction,
The market was small at the time. It had grown into the country’s largest construction
materials hub, offering everything needed for large and small–scale construction and

Grayson was also here. Seeing me caught him somewhat off guard. “Ms. Chloe, what
brings you here?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve had a look around. Why not?” I replied.
If we weren’t doing project engineering, specializing in one or two types of products could
also be a good
business strategy.
Grayson whispered, “I followed up on the project in Muborough. Echelon Group did initially
own it. However, how it ended up in Celine’s hands is unclear. The two companies were
competitors all along. My gut tells me that Celine might have had a hand in this.”
I remained silent. Atlas had coveted that piece of land near the city for a long time, and
there had to be a
deeper plan behind it.
If Celine was behind this, wouldn’t it be self–destructive for her? It seemed she didn’t want
Atlas to regain what rightfully belonged to him. That meant one thing–Celine didn’t want
him to succeed.
We’ll need to investigate how Celine managed to get hold of the land in Muborough,” said
in a low
voice. There must be conditions attached to it.”
Grayson nodded. After a walk around, we coincidentally ran into Johnson at the entrance.
He greeted me

I quietly asked Grayson, “Shall we see what’s happening?”
He turned and gave a quick instruction to a young man beside him. I waited in the car.
Soon, Grayson
returned and said, “They’re taking inventory.”
“Inventory?” I muttered. Then, I started the car and headed back to the residence.
I checked the time back at the company and informed Benjamin and Carol, ‘I won’t be
going up.
They both acknowledged it and got out of the car. I drove alone to Crowne Square,
leisurely strolling
through the mall.
I went to the children’s store and bought a bunch of toys along with a few sets of kids‘
clothes. Then, I
also picked up a few sets of spring outfits for my daughter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith my hands full of shopping bags, I headed towards the exit. A few women approached
me, all bright and glamorous. They were chatting and heading into the mall. Leading them
was Liora.
I inwardly chuckled. I hadn’t expected the world to be so small that I would run into them
everywhere.
When her gaze met mine, she hesitated for a moment.
However, she slowed down and looked at me with a determined gaze. I approached with a
smile, “Mrs.
Liora, out for some shopping?”
Her eyes met mine, seemingly contemplating how to address me. Her steps, however,
came to a halt. The
ladies behind her glanced at us.
Liora turned to them and said, “Go ahead!”
They shot me a glance and proceeded upstairs, chatting and laughing.
Liora turned back to me. “I didn’t expect to run into you here!”
I smiled. “I’m just here for some casual shopping.”
“Ms Chloe, always so independent. I’ve always admired that.” Liora’s tone was flat, but
she clearly had
something else on her mind.
What do you mean by that?‘ I asked calmly.
