Chapter 601

Rachel had a favorable impression of Victor because he was handsome. Although he could not compare to Stephen, his disposition was slightly better than Stephen’s, just like Theo was.Victor smiled. “I came to see you.”“Huh?” Rachel was a little surprised.“I know you liked Theo,” Victor said, “and I have something to tell you.”“What is it?” Rachel immediately narrowed her eyes. Her relationship with Theo was a secret. Even Stephen did now know about it, so how did Victor know? Was he planning to use that information to threaten her?“Stephen caused Theo’s death.” Victor handed over a document. “This contains information on Theo’s family situation.”Rachel took the document, and as she read it, her expression instantly turned dark.It detailed how Theo was once the heir of a prominent family, but Stephen destroyed the Harlow family. With the Harlows wiped out, Theo was separated from his sister.Theo did not dare to get revenge but wanted to find his sister and protect her.

After handing Rachel the document, Victor was about to leave when Rachel said to him, “Thank you for telling me this.”Victor paused but did not turn around, hiding a smile on his face. He felt that Stephen was truly unfortunate to have married such a woman. However, it all worked in his favor.“No need to thank me. I’m just doing my part,” Victor said before making his way out.At night, Stephen finally came home after working the whole day, completely exhausted. All he wanted was to have a few bites, take a shower, and go to sleep.Rachel’s eyes flickered coldly when she saw him return. It was Stephen’s fault that Theo was dead!She suppressed her anger, stood up, and said to Stephen, “I have something to discuss with you.”Stephen was surprised. Since their marriage, Rachel had rarely initiated a conversation with him. Even after the scandal, she barely spoke to him, but her attitude toward him had improved vastly.“What is it?”Rachel walked over and handed him the document

Meanwhile, Victor was secretly laughing to himself. The plan was his idea, but he let Stephen implement it. That way, he could push all the blame onto Stephen in the future.Seeing that no one had any objections and even seemed to admire him, Stephen felt pleased with himself. He could finally show off and be proud!He immediately scrapped the original plan to reforest the area and implemented his own plan, handing over the land to developers. The space available for development was huge, and with Victor’s arrival, many people saw that as a golden opportunity, so the land was quickly snapped up. Stephen easily earned billions of dollars from that. However, the money was not his but Breeze City’s. Although it seemed like a large amount of money, it could only be used to fill the deficit caused by previous incidents. To make a real profit, he would have to wait until people began buying the homes.Even so, Stephen was satisfied. Since the river water was already polluted, he decided

If they had not chosen to relocate, they would also have gotten millions in compensation!The frustration and despair among the people were growing.“Breeze City is the grain capital of Riveria. This place grows crops and animals but not humans.”Everyone hoped that the developers would pick their land so they did not have to farm anymore, especially the people near the reserves.When Stephen heard the news, he immediately clarified that no one had received such compensation, but no one believed him.If Victor had not come from Metropolis to save them, the grain contamination crisis would still be unresolved. Even now, plenty of people still had to receive treatment regularly at the hospital.Seeing his plan working, Victor continued to spread the news. He told everyone that the land near the river would be developed into factories, which would impact farmland near the area. In the future, clean grain would be a rarity, and grain prices would continue to drop.The moment the new

Once the meeting ended, Stephen loosened his control over Edward’s company, letting the latter take full responsibility for the enterprise.After receiving the news, Edward let out a heavy sigh of relief. Lifting the restrictions on him meant that Victor and he could act even more recklessly.Not long after, orders from Victor arrived, telling Edward to use the expanded authority to bring in more investors while also launching the ‘healthy and safe grain’ brand. The grain was no different from ordinary grain, but they would advertise it as having undergone strict selection to ensure no problems with it.The slogan ‘absolutely safe’ would tempt the people of Breeze City since they had been deceived before and were terrified of eating contaminated grain again. Most importantly, the healthy grain brand was not priced that much higher than ordinary grain, so it fell within an acceptable range for most people.As soon as the brand hit the market, people immediately went into a frenzy, a

After saying that, Victor walked away.In reality, he was not helping Stephen or the people of Breeze City. His only goal was to make money and ruin Stephen’s reputation.The proposal was the final step of his plan. As long as Stephen classified all the farmland as developmental zones, Victor’s plan would be complete.It would be suicide for Stephen!That night, Stephen returned home to Rachel approaching him with the document and saying, “I thought of another plan.”“What plan?” Stephen’s eyes lit up.The previous plan to develop the riverside areas had received unanimous praise. Only several foolish and ignorant people kept causing trouble, trying to get rich without effort.Rachel handed him the document. As he read it, he immediately frowned. The proposal was to convert all the farmland into development zones and establish industrial and residential areas.The plan stated that Breeze City was no longer suitable for farming and urgently needed to change. Industrialization wa

That night, Desmond went home to find Victor already there, chatting with his wife.“Mr. Hughes!” Desmond was very shocked. He never thought that Victor would show up in his house.When Desmond came back, his wife excused herself, knowing she was not privy to their conversation later.“Sit, Desmond.” Victor smiled.Desmond sat down, confused. It was his home, yet someone else was offering him a seat.“What brings you here, Mr. Hughes?” Desmond asked.He could not think of any reason why Victor would approach him.Victor asked, “What are your thoughts on the future of Breeze City?”Desmond frowned. “What kind of question is that?”“Just tell me honestly,” said Victor. “After Stephen’s arrival and all that’s happened in Breeze City, do you have any confidence in the city’s future?”Desmond hesitated. He wanted to say he was confident, but everyone knew what Stephen had done.No city had escaped Stephen’s clutches, and Riveria’s GDP had plummeted from 15 trillion to less than

Chapter 608

Stephen had no idea that his authority was being undermined. As he looked over the reports handed to him by Desmond and Rachel, everything seemed perfect. It eased the tension that had been gnawing at him for a while.As he read the fabricated reports, he felt optimistic about Breeze City’s future. He had failed too many times, but Breeze City would be the critical point to turn everything around. He would bring it to new heights, and not just here—every city he had touched before would feel the ripple effects of his success.“Riveria will collapse without Ethan? I don’t think so!”Two weeks later, Stephen noticed something off. Although the reports looked good, the construction in the development zone had not started yet. Furthermore, occasional complaints online stated that they had only received a hundred thousand as compensation for five acres of land.He called Desmond in for questioning.“Work in the development zone is already starting. We just finalized the negotiations wi

It was early evening when he got the call.“There are indeed many discrepancies in the accounts. The news about farmers receiving only several hundred thousand dollars for a few acres of land is also true…”The report continued, but at that moment, Stephen could not hear any of it. From the moment he heard the first statement, it felt like he had been struck by lightning.There were discrepancies in the accounts, and the data he read was falsified?Stephen quickly rushed home and ordered Desmond’s arrest.When he arrived home, he saw Rachel sitting on the sofa on the phone with someone. He immediately grabbed the phone to see who she was talking to. However, it was just an ordinary friend of Rachel’s.“What are you doing?” Rachel asked furiously, startled by him suddenly snatching her phone.Stephen held back the urge to slap her.“Why did you falsify the data?”Rachel was confused. “What data? What did I falsify?”“There are serious discrepancies in the data of all the repor

“According to the dashcam, it’s highly likely that the accident was caused by brake failure.”“Brake failure?” Stephen said, “So it was just an accident?”“From what we observe, it’s just an accident,” the subordinate replied.Stephen stepped away from the scene, took a deep breath, and ordered, “Detain his family members.”The subordinate said awkwardly, “His wife is also dead.”“What?” Stephen hurriedly asked, “How?”“Car accident,” said the subordinate. “The same one.”Stephen fell silent for a moment. The phrase "what goes around comes around" crossed his mind, but the important thing was that the missing money still had not been recovered. As such, he instructed someone to trace Desmond’s money.When he returned home, Rachel rushed up to him and asked, “How was it?”“Desmond is really dead. He got into a car accident with his wife. They died on the spot. We’re still investigating where the money went.”Upon hearing that both Desmond and his wife were dead, Rachel felt ev
