There was a black business car parked outside the hotel. Upon seeing Rosalynn, the driver got out to
open the door for her.
Jacob, dressed in a flashy suit, was lounging in the car with his long legs curled up. He casually
greeted her, “Secretary Tesdal, mornin’.”
“Mornin’.” Rosalynn got in the car.
Her face was even colder than usual, and Jacob intuitively sensed that she was in a bad mood. He
didn’t push his luck.
Once the car started, he put on his eye mask and took a nap.
Ever since they got here, poor Jacob wasn’t acclimated to the food and water, and he didn’t sleep well
last night.
Rosalynn didn’t bother with him and was busy emailing back and forth with others.
When they arrived at the construction site, Sawyer and his team greeted them with big
smiles.

“The construction site’s a mess everywhere. You guys don’t have to come here in person!” Sawyer said
with a helpless expression.
“Since there’s been an incident at the site, it’s only natural that we come take a look,” Rosalynn slightly
replied.

Sawyer nodded with a smile, “We are always having conflicts with those pesky villagers, and I’m
worried they might hurt you!”
Rosalynn remained silent.

Jacob chuckled, “Well, if we do run into any conflicts, it’ll just be the villagers’ bad luck.”

Sawyer was taken aback, “What do you mean by that?”
“If they just want money, we can talk. But if they hurt me or Secretary Tesdal, they won’t get a single
cent, and I can guarantee they’ll end up in jail,” said Jacob with a grin.
Sawyer’s smile was fading fast. “I’m only worried about your safety, that’s all.”
Jacob nodded.
They entered the conference room at the construction site, where more than a dozen locals were
already seated.
Seeing someone coming in, the people directly banged on the table without saying a word.
“You’re the ones in charge of this crappy company? You guys are so shameless, trying to

dig up our ancestors’ graves! We’re going to fight you today!”
The leader of the group was so fired up he was about to charge at them.
Seeing this, Sawyer quickly stepped forward, trying to placate the man while also winking at him to not
get physical.
He didn’t expect that a rich young man and a delicate young assistant wouldn’t be scared off by their
threats.
“Hey now, don’t be impulsive,” said Sawyer while pushing the man back into his seat. “President Strand
and Secretary Tesdal flew all the way here from H City just to address your concerns!”
“There’s no room for negotiation! You guys have to go around this piece of land!” The leader of the
group exclaimed.
Perle
“Go around?” Rosalynn sat down, and asked calmly. “That’s not totally impossible.”
Sawyer and his team were immediately flustered.
“Secretary Tesdal, the project is halfway done, how can we go around it?”
“Do
you know how much the cost will increase?”
“President Strand, what’s your take on this?”
Jacob certainly didn’t mean that because going around would cost them an extra billion at least.
“Why are you guys so anxious? I haven’t finished yet,” Rosalynn said kindly, glancing at the villagers.
“You’ve heard it too; going around this land would mean a massive loss for our company. So, as long
as you can compensate us for the cost, we’ll consider going around
it.”
Jacob almost burst into laughter.
These people were trying to extort them, but Secretary Tesdal shut them down with the
same tactic.
Sawyer and his team were all dumbfounded.
“You bitch, are you playing us? We’re asking you guys to cough up the money to smooth things over
with us! And now you’re trying to get money from us?!” The leader of the group inadvertently exposed
their true intentions in his anger.
Sawyer’s face darkened. His original plan was to have the villagers reject the plan to use money to
resolve the issue, giving the leaders from H City a serious blow before asking for more money.
But now…

“Our company legally obtained the rights to this land three years ago, including the area where the
ancestral graves are,” Rosalynn explained calmly. “Out of compassion, we agreed not to touch your
graves. You can buy back that piece of land and cover our costs to work around it. What’s wrong with
that?”
She smiled, “You guys can’t expect us to spend our money for nothing, right?”
