The piece of land in the northern development area of the city was what he valued the most. If he could get it, the profits would be immeasurable.

This was a matter of great importance, so he had to take Samuel’s words seriously.

“Why are you talking about this?” Geoffrey asked.

Samuel glanced at Tara beside him and said gently, “Ms. Braun, you’ll need to leave first. I’ll have a private chat with Mr. Robbins.”

Although she was extremely curious, for the sake of the supermarket, she didn’t dare to go against Samuel. Before leaving the room, she said, “Sure, you guys have a great chat.”

After she closed the door, Samuel leaned against the back of the chair and said in a relaxed tone, “Mr. Robbins, we should have minded our own business, but I have a favor to ask of Ms. Braun. That’s why my only choice is to help her settle this matter. I hope you can make things easier for me.”

Although he was dressed shabbily, his every word and action was calm, experienced, and indifferent. His demeanor was full of confidence.

Geoffrey no longer dared to underestimate him, and asked curiously, “How did you know that I wanted to rent the place to Grant Browning?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. You just have to believe that I’m telling the truth. In fact, the prospective owner of that piece of land in the north of the city has already been decided, and that person is Grant Browning. Do you think you can beat him?” Samuel asked with a smile.

Geoffrey held his breath.

One was an outsider while the other was his son-in-law. It was obvious who the leader would choose to help.

“Why should I believe you?” Although Samuel’s words were credible, Geoffrey wouldn’t easily believe him without evidence.

“In order to help Ms. Braun renew her rental, I’ve done an investigation on you. I believe my information won’t go wrong,” Samuel said confidently.

“Who would believe you without evidence?” Geoffrey scoffed.

“Last year, in order to obtain a piece of land in the south of the city, you bought a diamond bracelet as a bribe. It was encrusted with dazzling diamonds and gemstones, and named Auspicious for its exquisite and lifelike workmanship.”

After a pause, Samuel continued, “The diamond bracelet was worth 1.4 million dollars, but you only spent 47,000 dollars.”

Geoffrey’s face paled.

The leader loved antiques, but he would never show them to others, nor would he sell them. Therefore, Geoffrey made a fake and sent it over.

Once the leader knew the truth, his business in the real estate industry would come to an end.

Without waiting for him to explain himself, Samuel continued, “Also, the bottle of liquor you gave him is real, but its content is just a substitute, right?”

“You…” Geoffrey stared at him with fear.

Samuel smiled and said gently, “Mr. Robbins, don’t be so worried. This news will only be known to you and me. My request is very simple. I want Ms. Braun to renew the lease smoothly and thereafter, we will go separate ways. What do you think, Mr. Robbins?”

“Mr. Walker… Do you mean it?” Geoffrey asked.

“Of course.” Samuel shrugged. “By the way, don’t try to get back at me. I know you’ve dealt with several homicide cases, but don’t ask for trouble.”

His words caused Geoffrey’s heart to tremble again.

His background had been thoroughly investigated by this brat.

At this moment, the thought of finding an opportunity to silence him vanished.

Geoffrey smiled brightly. “Mr. Walker, I will extend the lease for Fresh. We’ll sign the contract today!”

“Awesome.” Samuel heaved a sigh of relief. He took out his phone and called Tara over.

Not long after, she walked in.

“Ms. Braun, if it’s convenient for you, we’ll sign the renewal contract today.” Without waiting for her to speak, Geoffrey spoke up.

Tara looked at Samuel in shock. The latter smiled and said, “Ms. Braun and Mr. Robbins, please go ahead. We’ll discuss our cooperation later.”

Samuel then leisurely left under their gazes.

…

7:20 PM.

As it was summer, the sky wasn’t dark yet.

In a luxurious house in Kings Estate, Tara sat on the sofa in a daze.

What happened today made her feel like she was in a dream.

Being unable to renew the lease of her supermarket had given her a headache for more than a month. No matter what she did, she couldn’t convince Geoffrey at all.

Unexpectedly, a young man named Samuel solved her problem in a few minutes.

Geoffrey, who was originally cold to her, had a bright smile on his face when he signed the contract in the afternoon. Those who didn’t know better would think they were on good terms.

How exactly did Samuel do it? What’s such a powerful person plotting against me?

Tara was stunned at this thought.

That’s right. Why did that guy help me?

Is he after money? That shouldn’t be the case. How could such a capable person lack money?

Since it isn’t money, could it be that… he likes me?

Whether it was her appearance or figure, Tara had absolute confidence. She had just turned thirty this year, and because she had taken good care of herself, she looked like a twenty-year-old young lady with incomparable charm.

People like her were very popular with younger men.

At this point of her analysis, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Coincidentally, she liked younger men. Samuel was handsome, capable, and resourceful. If she could date him, it might be a good choice.

After some hesitation, she took out her phone and called him.

…

After eating dinner, Samuel saw the caller ID and immediately picked up the call. “Hello, Ms. Braun. What’s the matter?”

“Samuel, I’ve signed the renewal contract. Thank you very much.” Tara told him the result.

“Congratulations, Ms. Braun.”

“By the way, Samuel, do you have time now? If you do, let’s meet up and have a chat. Previously, you said that you wanted to talk to me about something, but you didn’t tell me what it was. I’m so curious I feel uncomfortable all over.” Tara was as curious as a cat.

Samuel was delighted. He had wanted to meet and let her sign the purchase order urgently, but he didn’t want to disturb her so late at night. He didn’t expect her to call him instead.

Without any hesitation, he said, “If it’s convenient for you, I’ll go look for you. Where should we meet?”

“Come to my place in Kings Estate, Unit 2601,” Tara told him the address.

“Alright. I need some time to head over. I’ll try my best to arrive at eight.” He set a time.

“I’ll be waiting for you,” Tara replied briskly.

After hanging up, he tidied up his clothes and rushed to the bus stop.

At 8:05 PM, he knocked on the door of Unit 2601.

Soon, the door opened.

Seeing Tara, his eyes widened.

At this moment, she wore only a nightgown, and its hem was quite a distance above her knees.

It was very thin and translucent as well.

This revealing outfit practically revealed areas of her body that shouldn’t be shown to others. Surprised, his mind blanked.

Seeing his expression, Tara felt a little proud.

She was very experienced in dealing with younger men.
