Chapter 147

"You'll handle it? How exactly are you going to do it?"

Charles was so angry that his heart ached.

Shaking his head he said, "It's not that I don't believe in you, North, but you're still young.You don't understand the twists and turns of the business yet."

More than anger, he was also afraid that his daughter would do something to offend the Pharmacy and the Treasure Pavilion because of her recklessness.

He could afford to make another mistake.

His health was not in very good shape, and his pills could only do so much.

If things would turn for the worse, he would truly have no place to cry.

"No, Dad, you don't trust me!" North snorted coldly.

"I am your only child, so I'm the only one eligible to inherit the family business.I will be leading it one day anyway, so why don't you just hand it tonow?"

Charles didn't know what to respond to that.

His eyes flickered, and heaving out a deep sigh, he changed the topic.

"And how do you plan to handle it? Letremind you that we can't afford to offend the Pharmacy, as well as Treasure Storage Pavilion!"

"Who said that we can't buy in their stores because we can't afford to offend them?"

"Didn't that woman insist on having those two mountains? If there are jade veins on that one mountain, there must be son the other.I plan to find an opportunity for us to investigate” North said convincingly.

"How?"

"We'll pay speople to fetch inside information for us.Now that the mountain is being dug up, they will surely investigate the other one to see if there are jade veins in there too.As long as we bribe someone to ask, they will give us the information we need’’ Charles's eyes instantly lit up.

‘’Right” he thought.

‘‘If we can think of a way to buy the other mountain back, it would give us a fortune”

The idea was pleasing, but there was another problem.

"But how will you make that young lady of the Medicinal House sell the mountain back without suspecting us?"

"I have a plan, Dad? “ North said confidently.

"Consider it done"

After thinking for a while, Charles had no choice but to concede to his daughter.

"Alright, you can go ahead and do it.It was all a gamble.If it would work out, it wouldn't be a huge loss.At most, he would only lose the jade vein if his daughter's plan wouldn't work out.

Right after the conversation with her father, North secretly went to see and bribe the workers who were currently digging up the jade veins that night for sinformation.

Taking her money, the workers immediately informed her that there was indeed a jade vein in the other mountain! However, further details about it were highly confidential, and only the insiders knew about it.

Compared to the mountain they were digging, the amount of jade detected in the other mountain was relatively small, but they convinced her it was still a reasonable fortune.

With that information, North couldn't sit still.

That night, she called Branson right away.

Averie was the one who relayed the news to Olivia.

When she called her, Olivia was busy choosing the clothes to wear to King's View Bay the next day.

Olivia smiled and said, "Don't mind her right now.Tell her I'm busy"

"Alright” Averie said then thought for a moment.

After a while, she asked, "Miss, are there really jade veins in that mountain?"

She already had a hunch before, but it was only hearing the news now that she realized that there was actually a good reason behind Olivia's insistence on getting those mountains that day! The Lauren Clan must be fuming mad by now.

She didn't believe at first that there were jade mines on both mountains, especially since Olivia had let her have an agreement with the Treasure Pavilion.

It was as if she was trying to lure someone into the bait.

Then Olivia replied with a sly smile, "Of course not’

The probability of the mountain having jade veins was in fact too small.

If there really was someone who would take it from her, she wouldn't give it to Lauren Clan, especially when North had tried to cause trouble to her many times and even plotted against her.

Friendship couldn't always last long.

North had treated Olivia badly, and by doing this, she was only giving Lauren Clan a doze of their own medicine.

‘‘It shouldn't be too much, right?’’ Averie thought and started to completely understand Olivia's motives.

No wonder Olivia insisted on taking both mountains at the beginning.

Then later took the rest, including the training camp and the entire land.

At first, the deal with the mountains seemed like a bad idea.

It was more of a loss than a gain because the mountains were far away from each other.

A lot of money would be needed to develop them.

Thankfully, Olivia actually thought of the bigger picture and devised a clever plan to boot.
