C7 Dressed in a Yellow Robe
"Young Master Edwards, it seems that you don't really understand the situation." John Satterlee smiled bitterly "Actually, more than anyone, I want to develop the entire Spring Mountain. After all, I relied on it to get to where I am now. It would be an understatement to say that Spring Mountain supports me."
"Additionally, Spring Mountain is too big and dangerous. Just by relying solely on the strength of the entire Satterlee family, I spent ten years developing only a quarter of it. In the end, I almost broke my capital chain causing my company to go bankrupt. As such, I don't even dare think of developing the remaining three-quarters right now."
Rohan smiled in response. From what he had just heard, he figured that John Satterlee also desired to develop the remaining parts, but he was alone and didn't have such a big appetite.
"Director Satterlee, what if I join in?" Rohan suggested. John Satterlee didn't have such a massive crave, but he did!
Or rather, the Edwards family behind him could do it!
Rohan had aired out his real goal, which was to develop Spring Mountain. More importantly, he wanted to use this opportunity to test the bottom line of the Edwards family.
Spring Mountain was an excellent opportunity.
Tens of billions of yuan was nothing to the Edwards family, but it was definitely not a small amount.
He wanted to see how much the Edwards family was willing to spend on him.
John Satterlee's expression changed. He didn't expect Rohan to be so bold to the extent that he showed interest in the boundless Spring Mountain as soon as he arrived.
Naturally, he didn't know about the subtle relationship between Rohan and the Edwards family. If he knew that Rohan planned on investing in Spring Mountain with no intention of making money, he would probably cry.
"Young Master Edwards, if you are really willing to invest, then this matter will definitely be done." John Satterlee said hastily with a lit up expression.
Developing Spring Mountain not only included a matter of funding, but also various complexities like technology and resources. However, with Rohan's participation, many problems would be easily solved.
After all, the capital's Edwards family stood behind him. With the family's presence, not to mention one Spring Mountain, even ten of them would be overpowered.
For such a great family, it not only represented wealth, but also power!
On the surface, Aiden appeared calm but he inwardly felt miserable. He itched to warn John Satterlee that Rohan was setting him a trap, one that he would soon jump into.
He didn't dare to say it out loudly because Wyatt had told him that no matter what, he couldn't let outsiders know the true relationship between Rohan and the Edwards family!
Obviously, Rohan had also seen through this, so he was fearless.
Aiden smiled bitterly. Last night, he had made Rohan suffer a loss with his conspiracy of five million dollars in surgical fees.
This morning, Rohan had set a trap for him, one worth nearly 50 billion!
This was a warning.
Aiden's eyes turned hazy with a complicated expression, suddenly feeling that he couldn't see through this abandoned young master in front of him.
"Then do you mind working with me?" Like an old fox, Rohan asked cunningly.
"Haha, it's my honor to work with Young Master Edwards," John Satterlee laughed. Earlier on, he had been thinking about how to get on Rohan's and consequentially the Edwards family's good side.
Unexpectedly, Rohan had extended an olive branch in a blink and he had no reason to refuse.
Narrowing his eyes and extending his hand, Rohan smiled " I hope we can happily work together."
When the two hands shook, the largest investment project in the history of City C was born.
No one knew that this investment project was only the first step of Rohan's resistance against the Edwards family.
Aiden, who stood silently by the side, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, secretly feeling sorry for his patriarch.
Aiden was naturally in charge of the specific cooperation. As the person in power, Rohan only needed to decide on the general directions.
So, after the Satterlee family dinner, Rohan quickly went down the mountain. As it was his norm, he had to pick up Bedelia from work.
After Rohan left, John Satterlee squinted his eyes and said to his subordinate, "Hugh, go and investigate this Rohan, I want to know everything about him. Remember, you must be discreet, don't let him find out."
"Yes, Master Shen!"
Hugh nodded respectfully and left.
A serious expression flashed across John Satterlee's face. In an instant, he had switched from a local ruffian to the richest man in City C. He was naturally a scheming person.
From the first moment he saw Rohan, he knew that he wasn't simple. He wasn't as arrogant as other young masters he had seen before. On the contrary, he was very smart. Although he seemed to do things without logic, he was very calculative.
It even made John Satterlee feel like he was dealing with a tiger.
Therefore, John Satterlee naturally had to investigate what kind of person Rohan was.
"Ah Bao, go to the garage and drive the car I brought out a few days ago then give it to Young Master Edwards." John Satterlee ordered again. He knew very well that people at Rohan's level valued face more than anything else. The security guards under him had not only broken an electric car, but also Rohan's face!
So even though Rohan had made it clear that he wouldn't pursue the matter, John Satterlee was still a little worried. He directly gave Rohan a luxury car, which was more than enough to give Rohan face and consider letting Harrison's matter go.
John Satterlee couldn't help but feel his heart ache. If that idiot Harrison hadn't kicked Rohan's electric car, he wouldn't have to give Rohan his super luxury sports car as an apology, which cost more than twenty million yuan.
Rohan was probably the only person in the world who would trade an electric car for a luxury sports car.
John Satterlee now had the heart to kill Harrison.
Rohan didn't know that John Satterlee had thought so much after he left. If he knew, he would probably be grinning from ear to ear. John was too cautious.
In addition to being the tallest building in the west of City C, Derrick Building was also the headquarters of the Duilius Family Company.
It was noon, and Bedelia was standing at the building's entrance. She had waited for quite some time but she still hadn't seen Rohan.
Usually, Rohan was very punctual. As soon as she got off work, Rohan would already be standing outside waiting for her. Why was he so late today?
"Isn't this our Great Beauty Xia? You're waiting for Rohan to pick you up on his electric bike." A strange voice sounded from behind. Bedelia frowned, she didn't need to turn around to know that the person behind her was her cousin, Naomi.
As such, she remained silent. Ever since they were young, Bedelia had been on bad terms with Naomi, and when they grew up, the latter made trouble for her more than once.
Dressed in a long red bohemian dress, Naomi had delicate makeup on. Her face was quite pretty, but it paled in comparison to Bedelia's bare face.
Instead of getting angry at being ignored, Naomi sighed "I think sometimes fate is a strange thing. When we were young, you were Duilius family's most beautiful girl. Grandpa and the others all said that you would marry a rich man in a yellow robe and become the happiest girl in our family."
"You didn't disappoint. You did marry a man in a yellow robe, but it's a pity he's a delivery boy, haha!"
