Chapter 588

“Mom just called me to say that someone spotted Terrence having a meal at Saffron Restaurant.

She’s heading over with Aunt Florence and wants us to come along to catch the swindler too!”

Julie told Dahlia.

“Terrence Stone? How dare that cheat show his face in public again?” Dahlia was furious. He had

nearly made her family go bankrupt because of the issue with the abandoned building. In the end, it

was Dustin who took one for the family and bought it over. Hence, she had nothing good to say about

Terrence.

“Stop being idle, Dustin! Go, get a car! We need to make Terrence give back all the money he ripped

us off!” Julie said resentfully.

“I’ve bought over the abandoned building, so neither of you made any losses. Why are you both so

worked up?” Dustin couldn’t comprehend their anger.

“Hey! What do you mean? A con man like Terrence needs to be taught a lesson! We should act for

justice!” Julie declared righteously.

“Is that so?” Dustin smiled. He knew very well what was going on in Julie’s head. Her declaration of

justice was bullshit. She was just peeved that she was scammed, so she wanted to get some

form of compensation from Terrence.

Taking a different car, the three of them hurried off to Saffron Restaurant.

Saffron Restaurant was a nice eatery with a good ambiance, excellent service, and exquisite food,

so it was only to be expected that a place like that would charge exorbitant prices.

Over in a private room at Saffron Restaurant, Terrence, who had dressed up flashily, was having a

meal with the wrong kind of people.

“I’ve got good news for you, Terrence.” After having one too many drinks, a man with a rounded

face said, “I’ve heard from some official sources that the abandoned construction site will be

developed as a key project. Its value is rapidly increasing now!”

“What did you say? Key project?” Terrence was stunned by what he heard. “You’re not joking, are you,

Richie? That place’s trash! Why would anyone invest money in developing it?”

“It’s true!” The man with the rounded face said, “My father works with the relevant department, and the

information has been confirmed! There’s no mistaking that!”

“Didn’t you buy that plot of land where the abandoned construction is, Terrence?” Someone asked.

“That’s right! I recall that too! I could not understand why Terrence would buy that piece of land back

then! In hindsight, I guess you already knew about it then, didn’t you?”

“You’re something else, Terrence! How could you predict where the developments would be? Do you

have some sort of insider information?”

“Congratulations, Terrence! You’ve struck gold this time around! Don’t forget about us when you make

it big!”

Terrence’s friend flattered him and tried to court his favor.

Terrence, however, sat frozen where he was for a long time. Never had he dreamed that the

abandoned construction site that nobody wanted anything to do with would suddenly transform into

such a valuable piece of land overnight!

“What’s wrong, Terrence? Are you feeling alright?” Terrence’s friend asked.

“Hahaha! He must be having problems coming to terms with the fact that he’s going to be filthy rich!”

Someone jested.

“Ri–Richie, how much does that abandoned building cost now?” Terrence asked tentatively.

“At least two billion!” Richie said.

“Two billion?” Terrence felt like he’d been struck by lightning, and he blanched.

Under everyone’s disbelieving gaze, Terrence gave himself two slaps on the face. “I–I’m the greatest

idiot!” How could he have just sold off a plot of land worth two billion dollars? Was there anyone out

there more dumb than him?

Just as everyone wondered what was wrong with Terrence, the door of the private room was kicked

open with a loud bang. Then, Florence, Victoria, and a few others barged in through the door. And they

were fuming.

“Terrence Stone! There you are!”

“Give me back my money! Give me all the money that you’ve swindled off me!”
