My Mute Bride

Chapter 269 It’s Not His Turn to Call the Shots Yet

Justin set down his fork and said with a serious expression, “If you encounter any troubling matters like this in the future, just look for me.”

Rachel smiled at his words, but her eyes were a little sad when she lowered her head. The next day, Justin kept his word and accompanied Rachel to the construction site.

Everyone at the construction site looked shocked and happy by Justin’s grand presence, and the project leader even personally ran out to greet him, showing more attention to them compared to when Rachel had come alone.

“President Burton, President Hudson, after the completion of the shopping mall here, the surrounding house prices will double as well. The apartments in our commercial building are also selling very well…”

However, Justin did not humor him. “You can just tell President Hudson about these things. I’m only accompanying her to have a look.”

His words could not make his intention any more obvious to the Burton Group’s staff.

The project leader immediately began bowing and scraping to Rachel. “Please watch your step, President Hudson.”

“No matter what, safety is the most important thing,” Rachel said as she took the safety helmet. “I’ve heard that there are still some problems with the demolition. Have they all been solved?”

The project leader confidently replied, “Of course. However, at Phase Three Land, there were a few greedy holdouts who were demanding more money. They’re asking for five million just to demolish a small, old house. Aren’t they quite the dreamer?”

“How did you settle that?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Generally, our company’s demolition team is responsible for tricky things like this. We’ll probably be able to demolish it soon.”

Rachel raised her head and shielded her eyes from the bright sunlight with her hand. She looked around before instructing, “Safety always comes first. It’s now a critical time for the Burton Group to establish an example of charity. Never conflict with demolition households.”

“Don’t worry.”

“Careful.” Justin helped Rachel. “You don’t have to worry too much about this. All construction requirements are Burton Group’s unified standards. I’ve repeatedly instructed them not to start the work without settling everything.”

“In that case, it’s all right. I was just worried because I had heard some rumors.”

“What rumors?”
