Upon hearing their conversation, Sohpia immediately understood the situation.

The Mitchells’ ancestral house was situated at the center of Bayside City’s old city area. Back then, it was a palace for the prince due to its close distance to the royal palace, so that piece of land and the community behind it had a high value. Even if Henry and Ryan wanted to develop the land, they definitely did not have the financial affordability.

Therefore, they could only do it through a company by presenting a plan for real estate development to buy the house.

However, the Yard Group was a foreign-registered company, so it was troublesome for them to transfer the funds over. It would be faster to retrieve the funds from the Edwards Group since they had already replaced Lucy as the person in charge.

That also meant that after transferring ownership of the house to Henry, Sandra would not necessarily receive a penny for the payment. If their plan was rejected, they would not be able to collect the money.

The moment Henry realized that his plan was rejected, his smug face instantly turned furious to the point where Sophia felt that his facial muscles easily cramped.

“Lucy, stop! How dare you reject my plan! You and this b*tch, Sophia, must be working together!”

By then, Lucy had already entered her car, but when she heard Henry’s words, she coldly returned and continuously threw a few documents and newspapers at him.

Her voice was rather calm, but every word of hers sounded like a sharp blade that no one dared to refute. “The board and I rejected your plan because this land was once Bayside City’s old city area. There are a few palaces from the ancient empire nearby and due to the many cultural relics here, it poses a higher research value. This land and a few nearby streets has long been forbidden from being demolished and developed. The palace in front of you here is the private residence of the politically powerful Prince Alard. It is the most preserved palace in Bayside City at the moment, so it has long been included in the national culture protection list. Even though it is the private residence of the Mitchell Family, it is still an important relic that is protected under the official seal of the Bayside City Cultural Department. This is why your development plan isn’t profitable at all. You are only spending money to buy a first class national relic that can’t be commercially developed. If you don’t believe me, here are the relevant documents and news reports.”

Sophia was shocked by Lucy’s explanation. Looks like I need to quickly brush up on my knowledge of history. I only think that the house looks good, but I’m surprised that it has such a colorful background!
