Chapter 85
It was almost noon. Jacob had accompanied Willow to a commerce building that was located in the city center.
“Boss, the Fest family own Arture Group headquarters is inside this building.” Willow tilted her body and pointed at one of the nearer buildings. “Alvina has been working here ever since graduating university. She met Simon and they married each other two months later.”
Jacob lifted his head slightly to take in the hundred-meter-tall building. There was gloom on his face.
It happened many years ago when Alvina was driving Naeve to the hospital alone. Unsure if by accident or on purpose, when Naeve reached the hospital, she had already missed the best window for giving birth.
Even with the help of Jerry’s Method, they were still unable to ascertain the truth and so, the case was left unresolved.
If it was Alvina’s doing, there was no way she would confess against herself. At the same time, Jacob would also find it hard to believe if she claimed otherwise. Jacob was conflicted but he was unwilling to leave things without an end. At last, he made up his mind and decided to revisit the case once again. This time, he was determined to force the truth out of Alvina. She was part of the reason why the Fest family had been left untouched for the past two days with no accidents.
Coming to the building was Jacob’s first step at resolving the case.
He took another glance at the thirty-eight stories tall building named Goldlick before waving his hand forward. “You said this wouldn’t take long.”
Willow responded with his head up. “Yes, Boss.”
The two of them did not come to check up on Alvina’s workplace. Even though she was the daughter- in-law to the eldest son of the Fest sister family, it mattered little to them.
The day before, Willow was able to swiftly acquire Goldlick building and now they have showed up to complete the remaining paper works.
Initially, she had planned to acquire Arture Group instead, but the group was strictly family owned and did not accept foreign investors. Willow had no choice but to compromise with her second-best option. She borrowed the name of Draco Chamber of Commerce to ease her purchase on the Goldlick building.
If I can’t be one of your stakeholders, I’ll be your building owner instead.
The Draco Chamber of Commerce was a giant entity with widespread influence. To them, acquiring Goldlick building for several billions was like chipping small cubes from a giant iceberg.
The handover was coming to an end at one of the luxurious offices in the building. The ringing sound of a phone interrupted the scene. Jacob picked up his phone. Moments later, his eyes were boiling, and his body was sending out chills. The original owner of Goldlick building, with the waist size of two grown men, took a few steps back when he noticed Jacob’s change of demeanor.
“Dad, stay calm. I’ll be there in a minute.”
He reassured him gently before hanging up. Then, he turned toward Willow. His eyes were shooting daggers. “I have to take my leave now. You can handle the rest.”
“Yes, Boss.” Willow nodded stiffly. “Please call me if you need anything.”
Jacob waved and made his way toward the door.
With him gone, the chilly air in the room began to dissipate.
The fat owner was panting heavily. The color had finally returned to his face. He glanced at the door skittishly before turning back to face Willow with a smile. “President Will, your boss…”
