The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Chapter 1441 The Plot Twist

The relevant documents were placed in front of everyone.

As soon as Alejandro arrived, his eyes were uncontrollably drawn to the sealed envelope on the table. He knew better than anyone what was inside and couldn't tear his gaze away.

Noticing his intense focus, a colleague beside him teased, "What's wrong with you, Alejandro? You seem nervous."

Alejandro paused as he registered the words. He was wary of giving away his anxiousness and hurriedly waved his hand dismissively. "Oh, I'm just dealing with stomach issues lately."

"That's important to watch out for. Health is key at our age."

Alejandro nodded vigorously and pretended to sip from his teacup to mask his nervous gaze.

He knew the policy announcement was likely to favor the land Kenton had secured. Now, it was just a matter of waiting for the official announcement!

Soon, a middle-aged man in a white button-down shirt and black trousers entered the room. Everyone immediately stood up to greet him. "Mr. Rhode."

Finnian Rhode waved his hand. "Please, sit down. I assume you all know this conference's purpose. The top officials decided last month that we need to clear the canal, which requires land acquisition. The results are on the table.

"Alejandro, you've been around for a long time. What's your opinion on which piece of land is more promising before we open the sealed document?"

Alejandro, though surprised by the sudden spotlight, quickly composed himself. After all, he had been working as an official for years.

"Mr. Rhode, based on my understanding, the land in Ravenshire is relatively undeveloped with fewer people and expansive terrain. It has great potential for development." He finished with a slight smile.

After hearing Alejandro's opinion, Finnian gestured for him to sit down. His reaction made Alejandro even more certain of his assumptions.

Finnian then took the sealed document and carefully unwrapped it. He extracted a few pages and glanced at the contents before a smile, tinged with disbelief and intrigue, spread across his face.

He handed the papers to Alejandro. "Alejandro, I remember that you recently signed a project for this land. Why don't you announce the results?"

Upon hearing that his project was involved, Alejandro's face lit up with a broad smile. This was practically a done deal!

He barely registered anything as he took the papers. "The land selected for the policy this time is the farmland to the west of Valen Village."

"The farmland to the west of Valen village?" Alejandro repeated in disbelief, his eyes widening in shock. He even lifted the paper higher, hoping the words would change, but they remained the same.

He didn't want to look at the rest of the details as he didn't care about the area or the intended use. His head was spinning as if there weren't enough oxygen reaching his brain.

Meanwhile, Finnian was watching him closely. He noted the horror on Alejandro's face. Having called his name several times with no response, he finally raised his voice. "Alejandro! What's wrong with you?"

Alejandro quickly steadied himself and placed a hand on the table for support. "Sorry, Mr. Rhode. I've been feeling unwell lately and have been experiencing some tinnitus."

Finnian said no further and glanced at his secretary, Cameron Halton.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Cameron nodded, noting down the scene.

"Take a seat." Finnian didn't make things hard for Alejandro and continued, "Valen Village will retain its original appearance, while all the farmland on the west will be used for development and construction." Finnian's words echoed in Alejandro's head, but he barely registered his words. His mind was numb as he slumped into his chair, looking almost defeated.

After all, the land selected for the project was not just any land. It was the very plot he had tried to deceive Wynter with!
