Chapter 2735

It's almost laughable, really. They all despised the unfairness of it all, and as journalists, it was their mission to

shine a light on the darkness, but when it cto their own backyard, they had no choice but to bow to reality.

Not Regina, though. She called out the office's slick veteran right there in the middle of the bullpen. Watching

him puff up with indignation, yet utterly unable to formulate a

comeback, was a vicarious thrill for everyone.

After all, Regina was only spitting straight facts. If he was as talented as he claimed, why didn’t he go out and

score his own interviews?

The guy was so full of himself, yet not a single source actually liked talking to him.

“You just wait and see,” he sputtered, his face flushed with anger.

Regina crossed her arms and dropped her bag onto a chair with a thud. “Oh, are you threateningnow? Let

pilfering my interview notes? For someone who's been in the gas long as you have, you sure don’t play by

the rules. Leaning on your old age to get ahead? That's just sad and eye-opening.”

“Who are you calling old?” he snapped. “You've got a lot of nerve for a newbie, not giving a shred of respect to

your seniors.”

Regina glanced nonchalantly at her watch. “Anything else you want to get off your chest? If not, I've got a story

to chase. Unlike speople who just sit around the office waiting for scoops to fall into their lap, | don’t make a

living stealing other people’s hard work.”

“You're slandering me! Be careful, or I'll take this to the boss,” he threatened, though everyone knew he had

snatched others’ stories before, especially from rookies. But no one would dare to bring that up openly.

Regina, however, seemed to have no sense of this unspoken rule. She raised her voice enough that it seemed

like she wanted the whole building to hear.

“A grown man tattling? That's just embarrassing.”

He turned beet red, looking like he wanted to physically silence Regina, but she was already striding out the

door, bag in hand, leaving him to fin circles around the office. The other colleagues pretended to be

engrossed in their screens, though their smirks were evident enough. What they truly thought, though, remained

their secret.

“She thinks he can tackle any story, huh? We'll see how smug she is when she comes back empty-handed,” he

with the naive passion of a rookie like Regina would waste their ton a nobody.

Regina went hto change into something more practical, stuffed a duffel bag with sandwiches, granola bars,

and disposable gear, and hurried off to the scene.

She wasn't the only reporter with that idea; several others had settled in for what looked to be a long haul. After

all, they were on the turf of the Harris Group, backed by none other than Nolan. And anything connected to

Nolan had the potential for a big scoop.

Whoever managed to get the story on the homeless man would secure a hot topic for the paper for months. It

was just a matter of who had the most resolve.

Nolan, at that moment, was blissfully unaware of the pack of journalists eyeing the land he intended to develop.

Diving into real estate was another bold move since he established his company, and not all shareholders were

on board. Sthought Nolan was too young and rash, with appetites too large for his capabilities.

The real estate business wasn’t booming like before, yet he'd boldly snatched up this plot of land, ambitious to

create a brand new business hub, seemingly oblivious to his own

limits.
