Things looked bleak until, out of nowhere, they each received a call from Vission Group. At first, they couldn’t believe their After all, Vission Group was the country’s most mysterious and prestigious private enterprise, rolling in wealth. They kept a low profile, so much so that even the biggest players in the industry struggled to get a foot in the door.

One of them stammered out, “If you help us pay off this project’s debt, we’ll do whatever you say!” The moment the call ended, they sprang into action, scrambling to round up every employee and gather all the relevant documents.

When she saw homeowners protesting in the blistering heat, desperate and out of options, she couldn’t stand by and do nothing. She decided to step in His words left the entire room speechless. After a moment, both sides came to an agreement. At the crack of dawn, they gathered their documents and headed out to finalize the necessary procedures. Later that afternoon, Wesley was preparing food cart ingredients with Claire and their kids when his phone rang. He quickly wiped his hands on a clean towel before answering. “Hello? As the person on the other end spoke, Wesley shot to his feet, eyes wide with shock. “Are you serious? This isn’t some kind of joke, is it? We can’t handle a prank like this!” After a brief pause, he continued, “Okay, got it. I’ll start gathering the documents right away. We’ll be there in two days for the handover 1/3 Chapter 16 68% Π Hearing the word “Handover”, Claire echoed in disbelief, her words halting everyone in their tracks as they turned to look at Wesley. “Thank you so much!” Wesley said into the phone, his voice cracking as tears welled up. “This news is a godsend. Thank you!” Even after the call ended. Wesley couldn’t stop the tears from streaming down his face.

“Dad, what’s going on? What do you mean by handover?” Arthur asked, handing him a towel. Although it seemed like good news, Arthur couldn’t shake the confusion. Even if they arrested Bard Property’s owner and recovered the funds, how could the handover happen this fast?” Arthur wondered. As thoughts raced through his mind, Wesley wiped his tears and turned to the family. “Bard Property just told me we’re officially getting the keys to our new home in two days. We need to start gathering all the documents. “They also mentioned that if we’re missing any documents or encounter any difficulties, they’ll assist us as needed.” “Is this for real” Glaire’s voice shook with disbelief. This is happening too fast.

He wanted to hug his parents but felt a bit awkward. Instead, he bent down and scooped up Josie. “Josie, we’re moving into a big house soon. Are you excited?” he asked, ruffling her hair. Josie’s big, bright eyes sparkled as she nodded vigorously. “Yes, I am!” Arthur kissed Josie’s cheek and said, “Tll take you shopping for new clothes tomorrow. In two days, we’ll all go together to get the keys to our new home.” Then, as if struck by a thought, Arthur exclaimed, pulling out his phone, I need to tell everyone else so they can share the good news.” “Josie, how about you tell our siblings the good news after I dial their number?” he suggested.

Josie’s innocent voice rang out confidently, “Okay!” The good news came so fast that it felt like a whirlwind, leaving Arthur in disbelief Just yesterday, he had been lighting for their rights at Bard Garden, and today, they received the property handover notice. Yesterday also marked the return of Kate, who had been missing for eighteen years, and in the afternoon, a famous lawyer had helped him out of a tough spot. Could my luck really be this good? Is this all a dream?’ Arthur wondered, pinching his thigh hard. The sharp pain assured him it was all real and felt terrific. After sharing the good news with the rest of the family, Wesley quickly decided. “We won’t open the food cart stall tonight. 2/3 曲 Chapter 16 Let’s call Maria and go out for a celebratory dinner. “Arthur, there’s no need to rent Leon’s place anymore. Instead, focus on planning how we’ll renovate the new house.” The four cheerfully tidied up and headed out for a celebratory dinner.
