Stephen had thought about it during the planning phase. Although blocking the streams might disrupt the water flow and traffic and cause minor economic losses, the gains and profits surpassed the losses. “Just do as I say.” However, the head contractor shook his head. “It can’t be done. It really can’t. If you insist, you can find another company to take over.” The man might take up the challenge if the stadium had to be completed within a year, but a month was ridiculous. He was afraid to take on the project because if anything went wrong, he might be charged or prosecuted. Stephen lowered his voice, saying. “Let me think about it.” Only that particular construction company was capable of handling the job at the moment. If they dropped out, the construction progress would be disrupted. “Alright, but you better think it through. A decision like this can’t be made on impulse,” the head contractor left Stephen with one last advice. After that, Stephen and the mayor left.

Stephen stood up. “Can you take me to meet your father now?” “Of course,” Snow said softly.She took her phone out and gave Oliver a call, informing him of the meeting, which he had been prepared for.Half an hour later, Stephen met Oliver in the private room of a restaurant. “You must be Stephen Quinn,” Oliver said, extending his hand to greet Stephen. “You’re so young and talented. You’re going to have a bright future ahead.” Stephen shook his hand with a warm smile. “Nice to meet you, Oliver.” The two sat down, with Snow sitting quietly and obediently beside them. Oliver said, “I’ve ordered for us. I hope you don’t mind.” “I’m okay with anything. You don’t need to be so polite. You can call me Stephen.” “Stephen, it is.” Oliver chuckled. “I didn’t expect Snow to know you.” Stephen glanced at Snow who looked down and said with a smile, “Maybe this is fate.” “Hahaha! Fate is doing a great job! So, what brings us together today, Stephen?” Oliver asked. Without was

“Stephen, what do you think about Snow?” Frightened, Snow’s hand trembled and accidentally spilled some wine on Stephen’s pants. “I’m so sorry!” Snow grabbed a napkin, intending to wipe it off when Stephen said, “It’s okay.” At the same time, he instinctively grabbed her hand, and when they touched, both of them froze. “What’s going on here?” Oliver’s voice brought them back to reality. “Snow, you’re so careless! Where are your manners?” Snow pulled her hand away, her head lowered. “I didn’t mean it.” “Yeah, it’s fine. She didn’t mean it,” Stephen swiftly said. “Well, don’t just stand there. Thank him, Snow.” “Thank you, Stephen,” Snow whispered an apology. Stephen’s heart raced as he stared at her.“Stephen, back to my question, what do you think of Snow?” “Snow’s a great girl,” Stephen replied, suddenly pulling his gaze away from Snow. “Haha!” Oliver burst out laughing while Snow quickly returned to her seat after filling Stephen’s wine glass.Stephen then

Stephen said, “You guys can submit the paperwork tomorrow.” The businessmen put on their best grateful faces and thanked Stephen for his kindness. “Thank you! Thank you!” “I can’t thank you enough!” “Here’s to you!” In reality, their thoughts were elsewhere, thinking it was way too easy. For three years, they had tried everything to get Ethan to grant them approvals to establish their factories in Aqua City. However, with Stephen, it took them less than a day. A few rounds of drinks later, Stephen started to get tipsy. Oliver said, “Since Snow didn’t drink, why not let her send you back?” With that, Snow drove Stephen back to his suite at the hotel. When she was about to leave, he grabbed her hand and made her stay. The next morning, Stephen woke up sober and noticed Snow beside him, naked. Confused, he lifted the blanket, and seeing red on the sheets instantly made him sober up. He asked himself, did he sleep with Snow last night? As his mind raced, trying to p

At the same time, they also analyzed the project of the water stadium to maximize their profit gains. “We can’t slack off on this project either. If things go wrong, we won’t have a good excuse to give.” Soon, they came up with a schedule for the construction. Oliver gave Stephen a call and said, “After meticulous calculations, the water stadium will cost at least three billion.” “Three billion?” Stephen was surprised by the astronomical figure. The previous stadium cost just over a billion, but now it was more than double that to build it on water. “Three billion is just an initial calculation. We might have to increase the budget as it goes. The time frame is too short, after all. “We’ll need to work four shifts and use the best materials and equipment,” Oliver explained. Stephen understood a month was indeed a tight schedule, but it would all be worth it. If the water stadium could be completed in time, the money invested would ensure huge returns. “Provide me with

Back at the federal headquarters, Simon shared the latest updates about Aqua City with everyone in the meeting. “Did Stephen come up with all those plans?” “Simon, were they your ideas?” “Not only is he juggling the tourism and industrial factories well, but he even seized the opportunity to capitalize on the sports games. What an impressive job!” Everyone was surprised that Stephen did such a good job, and seeing his colleagues praising his son, Simon felt proud. He chuckled. “I’m not part of this. He did it all on his own. His previous failures have taught him a lot, and he has grown more mature.” Everyone nodded. “Yeah. He’s more mature now.” “His plans are well thought out. Everything will go smoothly for Aqua City this time!” “I have to say that he’s stepping up and becoming as good as Ethan, even surpassing the latter in a certain aspect.” “Replacing Ethan was the best choice we made.” “Someone used to say without Ethan, Riveria would be over. But with Steph

With things progressing in the right trajectory, Stephen had a lot more free time at hand, so he decided to return to Riveria for a while. “Do you want to come with me?” Stephen asked Snow. “I’ll go wherever you go.” She nodded. Over the past two weeks, their relationship had grown significantly intimate, and Stephen had thought of a way to break the news to Rachel. Being with Rachel was the decision made by the two families, but Snow was his true love. Hence, he decided he would bring Snow along to meet Rachel and make Snow his lover. Rachel, thrilled to have learned that Stephen was coming back, drove to the airport to pick him up. However, when she saw him walking out hand in hand with a girl, she felt completely blindsided. Only when Stephen came up to her did she snap back to reality. She took a deep breath, trying to persuade herself that maybe it was just Stephen’s colleague. Stephen said, “Let me introduce you. This is Snow. You can treat her like your sister from

Once outside the house, Stephen asked Snow, “Are you okay?” “I’m fine. I understand how Rachel feels, so I’ll talk to her when I get the time. I just want to be with you,” Snow said softly. Moved by Snow’s resolve, he said, “I want you to meet someone.” Snow’s heart skipped a beat. Was she finally going to meet Ethan? Still, she asked, “Who is it?” Stephen scoffed. “My arch nemesis. Let’s go.” With that, he drove to Drakthorn Ridge with her. He had been waiting half a month to see Ethan again. In that time, everything in Aqua City had gone smoothly for him, and he had even found love, which would surely crush Ethan when they met again. A while later, they arrived at the mansion. Staring at the mansion, Snow felt nervous. The one responsible for Nina’s death was beyond those doors. Different questions flooded her mind: what was he like? How did he do it? How should she take revenge? “Come on,” Stephen, who was already a few steps in, said when he noticed Snow had not
