Erwin smiled slightly and changed the subject. “I heard that Sylvester Group wants to develop that piece of land in the west of the city. I brought the contract today and can transfer it to Sylvester Group on the spot,”
He took out the contract, and Henry’s eyes lit up.
With the market saturated, the best way for Sylvester Group to climb higher was to take a different path and develop other projects.
The tourism industry was thriving, and the best–performing company in this field was the Scott Group, which also owned the land available for development in the west of the city.
Seeing the unhidden greed in Henry’s eyes, Erwin was confident that the matter was settled. He took a pen from the left chest pocket of his suit and placed it on the table.
“In the past, we act recklessly in relationships, but young people nowadays are different. As long as the Sylvester family issues a statement that Roseanne and Brandon’s marriage was a contract marriage, Scott Group will transfer the land to Sylvester Group free of charge. Moreover, in future collaborations in the tourism industry, we will prioritize working with Sylvester Group
The Sylvester family’s rise among the Four Prominent Families was not just due to strategy but also to clever maneuvering.
In Yolham, Sylvester Group had the highest reputation for integrity. If they claimed second place, no other business would dare claim first.
Their stellar reputation made them a safer bet for partnerships than other companies.
It was a win–win cooperation that also eliminated potential risks. This deal had no downside for Scott Group.
As Henry listened and reviewed the contract, he immediately nodded. “Sure.”
“No way!”
Zachary quickly objected “Grandpa, Rosic and Brandon’s marriage is not a contract marriage. They intend to spend their lives together. Filing a lawsuit will be disadvantageous for Rosie.”
Erwin responded swiftly. “As far as I know, Old Mr. Graham agreed to fully refund the five billion dollars Roseanne brought into the marriage and even offered an additional two hundred million as compensation, making it a total of seven hundred million. However, she seems dissatisfied, which is why the two of themare still married and haven’t divorced.”
Henry frowned, glanced over the contract, and immediately signed it.
“Grandpa!” Zachary wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Erwin gave a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Does your grandson call the shots in the family now?”
Henry’s expression darkened. His grandson had contradicted him in front of his nemesis. He responded, “I am the head of the Sylvester family. Rest assured, the statement will be released by six o’clock this evening
Zachary looked at the stubborn Henry, feeling a wave of despair.
Raymond didn’t understand why Zachary looked so crushed. Fearing he might anger their grandfather, he dragged Zachary
to the window.
“Zachary, Grandpa is doing this for the Sylvester family’s benefit, Besides, Roseanne isn’t suffering any losses. Why are you trying to stop it?”
Zachary looked at him, his tone laced with sarcasm. “You also think Rosie is only worth seven hundred million?”
“Two hundred million in compensation over two years. Isn’t that pretty good?” Raymond was confused.
“Rosic owns four percent of Graham Group’s shares. Based on market value, that’s one point five billion Azanian currency. Do you think she should just accept seven billion and walk away? That’s too cheap!”

Raymond’s eyes widened in shock. “How does she own shares in Graham Group?”

There was no turning back now. Zachary felt exhausted and didn’t want to explain further. He turned and left without even saying goodbye.
No one could overturn Henry’s decision
Perhaps, Roseanne would never return.
Zachary’s departure didn’t change the course of events.
The deal was sealed. Erwin shot Jerome a look.
Jerome immediately took out a gold–inlaid box and carefully placed it on the table.
“Old Mr. Sylvester, I just found out after work that my daughter accidentally hurt your granddaughter. She is deeply remorseful. This is a necklace once worn by the Queen of Egrea, one of its kind. I hope Aurora can forgive my daughter.”
Henry was momentarily stunned. He wasn’t expecting the Galanis family to offer such an extravagant apology gift.
Keisha’s eyes were red. “Eula has always regarded Aurora as her best friend and has stood up for her more than once. She didn’t push her on purpose.
“My daughter is too naive and was deceived by Howard. We’ve already dealt with that scoundrel. As for Roseanne… Keisha strategically paused. “It was Eula who spoke rudely to Roseanne first. Getting slapped was justified.”
She pleaded, “Old Mr. Sylvester, my daughter has already spent a night in the police station. Please show mercy!TM
She made a move to kneel, but Raymond quickly stopped her.
Henry took a sip of tea before speaking. “I cannot decide on this matter. Ray, ask Aury to come downstairs.”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Raymond quickly ran upstairs to get Claire and Aurora.
Even though the Galanis family presented an expensive apology gift, Claire was unwilling to forgive them. However, she could not make the decision for Aurora.
She couldn’t let her personal feelings deprive Aurora of something she wanted.
“Aury, you decide for yourself.”
The ruby and diamond necklace was Aurora’s favorite type of jewelry.
She glanced at it, feeling a fleeting urge to claim it as her own but ultimately suppressed the thought.
“Mom, I want to get Roseanne’s opinion.”
Claire’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and she nodded. “Okay.”
At the same time, after Roseanne signed the legal documents, Jeffrey offered the materials he prepared to her.
“Something strange happened. Everything was unusually smooth when I was gathering evidence, as if someone had prepared. it in advance and handed it over to me.”
Roseanne paused as something flashed through her mind. She smirked. “Someone wants me to easily secure this one point five billion Azanian currency. Don’t worry about it, Mr. Parker. If they’re offering, you should take it.”
Jeffrey nodded. “Got it. Go through it and see if there’s anything you want to add.”
Roseanne picked up the documents, and her gaze drifted toward Jeffrey’s forearm.
The weather was still warm, so Jeffrey had rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing a lean, muscular forearm. Just below the fabric, there was a faint tiny bite mark, though it wasn’t very clear.

“Ms. Roseanness
Roseanne snapped back to reality, the hazy memory in her mind vanishing
Jeffrey pulled down his sleeve and picked up a pen, about to speak
Buzz!
Roseanne’s phone vibrated.
She was about to reject the call, but when she saw the caller ID, her gaze darkened slightl
Why is Aurora calling me?
Seeing her conflict. Jeffrey spoke. “You can take the call.”
“Thank you.”
Roseanne answered the call. “What is it?”
“Roseanne, the Galanis family has come to apologize. Can I forgive them?”
Roseanne’s tone was calm. “You’re the one who got hurt. If you want to forgive them, then do so
“Thank you, Roseanne!
Unlike Roseanne’s indifference, Aurora’s voice was sweet and gentle, just like her appearance–harmless and unthreatening
Roseanne replied softly, “Mm. If there’s nothing else. I’ll hang up.
Beep beep beep.
She ended the call and resumed reviewing the documents. Once she confirmed there were no issues, she signed her name. “Mr. Parker, I appreciate your help.
“No problem. I’ll send you an electronic copy once everything is finalized.
“Okay. Thank you, Mr. Parker,”
Roseanne stood up to leave. As she closed the door behind her, her gave briefly swept over Jeffrey’s profile, causing her thoughts to freeze for a split second.
An image flashed through her mind–a face smeared with oil paint.
