Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200\% Rebate System-Chapter 149: Land

Alex opened the file and stared at the map inside. His eyes widened.

"Wait... if this highway really gets built... that land will be worth a lot!" he said, his voice rising with surprise.

Aurora nodded slowly.

"Exactly. Your half-brother may be foolish in some ways, but this time, he made a smart move."

"Indeed...in comparison...I seem a little foolish." Alex said softly.

Aurora couldn’t bear to see the sadness on Alex’s face and said,

"Then be prepared. You will lose against Jasper every single time."

Alex: "..." I feel so worse!

Emily: "..." Aurora is truly too blunt.

Aurora smiled, seeing the speechless look on Alex’s face, and said,

"Won’t you ask for the reason?"

Alex gritted his teeth and asked,

"Is it because I am dumb?"

He was being sarcastic and hoped that Aurora would laugh it off and realize how blunt her words.

But Aurora, being Aurora, said,

"That is partial reason."

Alex: "..." I don’t want to continue this meeting anymore.

Emily: "..." Why does Aurora love to talk without any filter?

Aurora suppressed the smile rising on her face, seeing Alex’s dark face, and cleared her throat,

"The main reason, Mr. Green. Your half-brother may not have any redeeming qualities, but he has a father who loves him.

Your half-brother doesn’t have the connection to know about the news, it is Mr. Green. On the surface, it may seem that he has retired and doesn’t focus on the company at all. But in reality, he is making sure that Jasper shines.

If you don’t bid on the project and let Jasper take away the land, then the shareholders of Green Corporation would mock him first, but when the land would become valuable, everyone would start to blindly trust Jasper.

Your company, on the other hand, would receive a lot of criticism and everyone would start to compare you and your brother. They would even start to choose sides."

Alex frowned and asked,

"But then our problem is pretty simple. We can wait for the moment Jasper becomes the CEO of the Green Corporation. Then we can mess up with his brain and easily defeat the Green Corporation."

Aurora shook her head,

"In fact, you might not have noticed, but all the people placed around Jasper are loyal to Mr. Green and are much more capable than Jasper.

They will never let Jasper make any mistake, and if possible, they would even lay traps for you.

Also, your company might not be able to withstand Jasper’s constant suppression till then."

Alex looked down at the table, his hands tightening into fists.

"So... even if Jasper becomes CEO, it’s still like fighting Mr. Green," he said, his voice low. "That’s just unfair."

Aurora nodded.

"Life isn’t fair, Alex. But that doesn’t mean you give up. You just have to be smarter."

According to the dreams, Jasper was able to bug Alex and suppress Alex, purely because of Mr. Green’s help.

Alex, on the other hand, was torn between his mother and his wife. Plus Jasper... life was indeed unfair.

Emily added softly,

"And faster. If you don’t move now, they’ll crush you before you even have a chance."

Alex took a deep breath and looked back at Aurora. "What should I do then?"

Aurora leaned forward, her eyes serious.

"Buy the land next to Jasper’s project. Quietly. Don’t let anyone know. When the highway gets built, your land will go up in value too.

But while he’s busy showing off, you start the construction ahead and make a luxurious and high-end hotel.

Also, other than that land, there must a land at 3 km distance, too, buy it too. And build a shopping complex."

Alex blinked. "Two lands? But why build so far away from the highway?"

Aurora explained calmly,

"Because when people come to stay at your hotel, they’ll want places to eat, shop, and relax.

Your shopping complex will be the perfect place. And since it’s close but not too close, the land will be cheaper now—but its value will go up fast."

Emily nodded.

"That’s smart. Jasper will think you’re only copying him, but you’re actually building something better."

Alex looked thoughtful. "Okay... hotel first, then shopping complex. I can do that."

Aurora added,

"Make the hotel grand but clean. Focus on good service and comfort. Make it a place rich people want to come back to. Also, don’t forget investing more in marketing."

Alex smirked. "Yes! Let Jasper enjoy his spotlight. I’ll work in the shadows."

Aurora smiled faintly. "That’s the spirit."

Alex suddenly stood up and said,

"Miss Dawn thank you so much for your information. If it weren’t for you, I would have felt depressed after knowing that Jasper had won such valuable land."

Aurora smiled.

According to her dreams, there were multiple times when Jasper snatched away Alex’s projects and it was Alex’s talent that was keeping the company barely afloat.

But when Mr. Green got into an accident and the people around Jasper were fired, Alex was finally able to take Jasper down.

Of course, she wouldn’t tell Alex the alternative that he could just entice Jasper to kick out the capable assistants around him(Jasper).

Alex needs to learn to stay on guard and improve his skills.

With that, Aurora left the room.

If Jasper has Mr. Green, Alex had her.

Aurora didn’t know how and why she knew so much about business, however, she had a feeling that she could deal with Mr. Green.

At the same time, she would ensure to impart her knowledge to Alex too.

"Keep an eye on Jasper’s movements, and if he tries to suppress Alex again, use money to solve the matter," Aurora ordered.

Emily noted it down and nodded,

"Alright."

Then she remembered about Henry and Adriana and asked,

"What about Henry’s ex-girlfriend? What have you found till now?" freeweɓnøvel.com

"Adeline?" Emily asked hesistantly.

Aurora nodded; however, her heart was filled with hostility.

She couldn’t help it. Even though she still hadn’t met Adeline, the mere fact that Lucas and Mary would be killed because of Adeline...Aurora couldn’t feel any sympathy for her.
