Chapter 222
Seeing Thomas meant the start of a counterattack, so of course Jaden was excited. But given the situation before him, Jaden saw Thomas still standing there unharmed, and Lynsey looked every bit the noble lady. Jaden couldn’t help but think to himself: Why should it be like this?
If back then it wasn’t for the Hall family’s insistence on not allowing his mother to marry into the family and forcing her to remain an outsider, she wouldn’t have been unable to contact Sir Hall, which then wouldn’t lead to her having difficult labor. Why were the people who brought harm to his family still able to stand here unscathed?
“More than half of Luke’s holdings have been seized. Have you already acquired them?” Jessica asked, to ease the atmosphere.
Jaden nodded. “They are mostly small holdings. It’s from these that I’ve started to see the problem. The Hall family’s core assets should still be controlled by Thomas. Speaking of which, the Aqua Court still hasn’t been fully completed, and it’s been so many years.”
The Aqua Court was a project started when Sir Hall was still alive. It was located in the most peaceful area of Impelia’s high-end villa district, covering a vast area of land, and all the materials used were top-notch. If the Aqua Court was completed and launched, it would definitely become a wealthy district in the city. Back then, Linda also wanted this land, but she couldn’t compete with Sir Hall. Besides, Sir Hall was actually Linda’s elder, so directly snatching the land would be inappropriate. Linda decided to give up. Knowing that after Sir Hall’s passing, the Aqua Court would remain incomplete, Linda would do everything she could to seize this land.
“The Hall family currently lacks sufficient cash flow and has been patching things up. The industries under Luke and Michael don’t make money, and on top of that, many have been forcibly shut down due to investigations. Actually, I think the Aqua Court might be put up for auction,” said Shannon.
Jaden immediately rebutted, “Impossible. The Hall family’s position in the real estate industry relies on the Aqua Court. Even if it never finishes, as long as the land remains, the Hall family’s status is guaranteed. Once it’s transferred, the Hall family will be divided up quickly. Thomas wouldn’t be that foolish.”
“Such a good piece of land, it’s really a waste.” Jessica also felt regretful.
Jessica had also noticed that the Hall family had no money to continue building the Aqua Court and had sent someone to inquire if they intended to sell. Just as Jaden said, the Hall family was firmly against it. It seemed Jaden still knew something about the Hall family. The foundation Sir Hall left behind was deep enough for them to squander without worry.
“Forget about the Aqua Court, but… Montvue Tower is possible. Montvue Tower is in the mountain area of Impelia, and the back mountain has already been planned. That location guarantees profit.”
Jessica suddenly perked up and looked at Jaden, asking, “Would you be willing to part with it?”
“What’s the big deal?” Jaden shrugged. “Such a great location staying in Thomas’s hands is a waste. It’s better to let you make use of it. If I return to the Hall family, I will definitely restart the Aqua Court.”
Since that was the case, Jessica pulled Shannon and Indya aside to discuss the plans, preparing to take action on Montvue Tower and start evaluating the market price.
Chris and Jaden had some downtime.
“Must have been hard for you to come to an event like this. I know you’ve never liked showing up in public,” said Jaden.
Chris shook his head. “I’m fine doing whatever it takes to be by Jessica’s side. The Summit Infirmary is about to be listed, so I do need to show up more in public. Starting next month, Francesca will arrange at least one business banquet per month for me. I’ll just need to be the mascot and show up.”
