Maeve quirked a brow. "News travels fast."
Charlie grew curious. "Who is it?"
"My uncle." Maeve sighed. "Seems I won't be returning to school today. Can you please send me home?"
Zion and Charlie immediately caught on. People would always flock to opportunities.
Zion nodded. "I'll drive you."
Maeve was surprised. Zion didn't need to go this far for her.
"Why? You don't trust my driving skills?" Zion smirked.
"What? Of course, not. I'm just embarrassed to keep troubling you." Maeve shook her head.
Charlie couldn't help but laugh at her response. "You can feel embarrassment?”
"I'm not entirely shameless." Despite her words, she didn't mind Zion's offer and even looked forward to it. Zion drove her home and helped her out of the car. This news soon reached her family's ears.
Sharon couldn't believe it. "What did you say? Zion is here?"
The maid nodded.
Philip heard Zion's name and butted in, "What's going on? Zion is here? But our family never messed with him."
Zion's bad reputation had spread. The recent revelation that Zion was the grandson of Kurt Spencer also earned him a reputable position in Seathburn City.
Philip didn't dare to mess with someone of that status. Their family always stuck to doing business and
business alone.
Sharon glared at Philip. "You're such a coward! Zion sent Maeve home!"
"Maeve? Why did Zion give her a lift?" Philip was confused.
Maeve soon entered the house.
When Sharon saw Maeve, she immediately smiled and warmly welcomed her. "Maeve is back. Quick,
have a seat."
"You're being unusually nice today, Aunt Sharon. It feels weird." Maeve sat down on the couch.
Philip looked around. "Maeve, wasn't Zion with you?"
"He merely gave me a ride, so I didn't invite him in for a meal." Maeve sipped her tea. "Why did you call me over, Uncle Philip?"
Philip hesitated and didn't know where to begin. He turned to Sharon for help.
Sharon immediately smiled. "Maeve, did you buy a plece of land for ten billion dollars?"
Maeve nodded, "Yes, I did."
"Can you transfer the land ownership to Phill" Sharon asked shamelessly,
"It's in the sewage district. Why would Uncle Phil want it?" Maeve feigned cluelessness.
Philip was about to answer, but Sharon interrupted him. "Philip wants your cousin to get some training in
with the land...'This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"Our family owns many businesses. Uncle Phil could just hand over some small-time business instead. I don't think John can handle that piece of land." Maeve cut her off.
Hearing this, Sharon wanted to convince her again, but Philip beat her to it. "I just received news this morning that the land you bought will become a green city. So Sharon thinks it's better to develop it under the family name. Maeve, this is a big deal. You won't be able to handle it, so let me take care of it instead."
