[Chapter 187]
Pearl left, and although she had just gained the upper hand, she did not do anything to Gunther.
It was not that she did not want to. When it came to a shameless and rogue person like Gunther, she wished she could go up to slap and kick him.
However, after the project was suspended, she had learned information about Gunther. This person had a very deeply rooted background in Springfield. Ordinary people could not afford t o provoke him as he was the famous local tyrant here.
As outsiders, they were at a disadvantage compared to these local tyrants, so she did not want t o cause trouble for David.
Back in the room.
Gunther recovered quickly.
He smiled, put the wine glass in his hand to his mouth, and took a sip before muttering to himself, "Interesting, how interesting. It seems that this girl is not as simple as I thought! It's getting more fun, and I would like to see what kind of surprise this lass can bring me!"
Pearl went back to the apartment, called David, and briefly explained the matter to him.
She did not know that David was on his way yet.
After the phone call, Pearl was lying on the sofa a little depressed.
She originally thought that the auction of this project was successful, and she could complete the task David assigned to her, but there was still a problem.
In the end, it was still up to David to solve it himself.
At this moment, Rhonda came out of the room and saw Pearl lying on the sofa in a bad mood.
"What's wrong? Pearly, you haven't been in a good mood the last few days. Who provoked you? Come, tell me," Rhonda said as she sat on the other side of the sofa.
"It's nothing. It's just that there is something wrong with the investment, but I have notified the boss and have him solve it," Pearl answered.
"What is it? Why does your boss need to come to solve it himself?"
"It's the piece of land I told you about last time. We've bid for it but now it's been tampered with and the project has been suspended."
"Oh? Who is so capable of stopping a project worth tens of billions just like that?" Rhonda asked curiously.
Pearl was bidding on a piece of land recently and Rhonda had heard Pearl mention it. At that time, Pearl was very happy, saying that when the auction was completed she would be able to complete the task assigned to her by her boss.
She figured that things have been going too smoothly at the time, so she also reminded Pearlt o be careful and now, it seemed that something had indeed gone wrong.
It would be better if Pearl invested in something else.
However, things like land were extremely scarce resources in Springfield and they were generally controlled by big families. So, if Pearl wanted to get involved, it could only be described with one word.
Difficult!
Even if she had the money to bid for it, she would still encounter problems with the subsequent series of development, and in the end, she could only sell it for half the price.
This had happened many times before.
Many upstarts who came to Springfield with huge amounts of money to invest would basically leave at the end of the day after suffering losses if they dared to touch realestate.
"It's a guy named Gunther Daniels. Rhonnie, you're from Springfield. Do you know this person? All I know is that he has a strong background, " Pearl sat up from the sofa and said. "Gunther Daniels? Gunther Daniels from Prosperity Properties?" Rhonda asked in surprise. "That's right, Gunther Daniels, the owner of Prosperity Properties. Rhonnie, do you know him?" Pearl asked expectantly.
"No, but I heard of him," Rhonda said.
Then, she added in her heart, 'I don't know Gunther, but I do know his brother Morris Daniels.
"Alright, it's fine if you don't know each other," Pearl said in disappointment.
Rhonda looked at Pearl from left to right.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Pearl asked.
"Pearly, since you're targeted by Gunther, he didn't do anything to you, right? I heard that Gunther is extremely lecherous. As long as he has his eyes on a woman, she will not be able to , escape. You are so beautiful, so he definitely will not let you get away."
"Pah, how would I let him succeed? He was about to take me by force today but the two bodyguards sent by my boss knocked down all of his lackeys," Pearl said.
"It's good that you're alright. I was really afraid that he did something to you. If that happened, I'd definitely feel disgusted sleeping with you," Rhonda said with a sigh of relief.
