Chapter 0023

At Chesire Mansion.

“Sir Chesire!” a voice filled with immense joy echoed from outside. Ben, the majordomo who had been

by Donovan’s side for over 40 years, hurriedly entered the living room. His face beamed with

unrestrained delight as he handed his phone to Donovan, his voice trembling with excitement.

“Look, Sir Chesire-you simply must! The Severn Group’s development project has expanded again,

and they’re investing a total of 4.5 billion dollars! That’s the Chesire family’s contract, and we can make

at least 1.5 billion dollars! We finally have hope to be among the top-tier families in Ol’ Mare!”

Mare Business Report. His breathing quickened, and his face flushed with excitement.

This was a momentous occasion, a grand celebration!

tier families would no longer be a mere dream!

“T-The contract…” Donovan stuttered. Then, he suddenly turned to Ben with a frown and said,

“Something’s not right. How could I not know about such a major development? Who’s in charge of this

project? Isn’t this Zoe’s department? Why didn’t she inform me? What is happening?”
