Chapter 188: Past mistakes
Skyler sighed in dismay. "It’s entirely my fault. I should have been more thorough. O’Neil didn’t just deceive us—he duped a lot of people. According to the latest report, the lender has already seized the property and is in the process of selling it to JK Constructions for a luxury residential complex project."
Theodore’s eyes narrowed as he absorbed the information. "JK Constructions?" he repeated, the name sparking his curiosity. It was a top-tier construction company, a giant in the Fortune 500, but he hadn’t realized they were expanding into their city. "So, they are setting roots here as well."
Skyler nodded. "Yes, they are trying to establish a foothold in the city," he confirmed. "Anyway, I’ve submitted all the evidence of O’Neil’s deceit to the police. He’ll be behind bars soon."
Theodore shifted his focus, pulling his thoughts away from JK Constructions to the matter at hand. "I still want a prime location for the plaza project."
"I’m on it, sir," Skyler responded with determination.
"Have you checked on the wetland Bella mentioned?"
Skyler hesitated slightly. He wasn’t entirely confident about the potential of that land, but he kept his doubts to himself for now. "I’ll check on it and get back to you. Your meeting with the overseas branch is scheduled to start in an hour."
He placed a folder on the table. "All the details you requested are in here."
Theodore took the folder, his mind already shifting gears. "You can go now. I’ll call you when the meeting starts."
"Sure." Skyler nodded and left.
