Chapter 72 Jump in the River
Mason felt a sense of emotion as he watched Noah leave.
Starting from today, Oceanbridge City's real estate tycoon, Garrett, who held a forty percent market share, had disappeared from the mortal world.
Tomorrow, the real estate industry would definitely undergo a major reshuffling, and there would be a bloody calamity.
But who would have known that the mastermind behind it all was just an ordinary young man who loved his family and cared for his wife?
...
"Honey, you're back! I was so worried about you!" Lisa immediately greeted Noah when she saw him return.
Her petite face appeared slightly pale, it seemed she was still shaken from the fright.
"What happened to Garrett?" Lisa asked.
"He's severely injured. He’s been hospitalized," Noah replied.
"So he's in the hospital, that’s good. He’s rotten to the core. Now that he’s in the hospital, we won't have to work with him anymore. We can outsource one-third of the project to other developers!" Lisa said angrily, gritting her teeth.
Noah nodded.
"Oh, by the way, who is Mason?" Lisa couldn't help but ask. She knew that Mason was associated with the Japanese restaurant.
If it weren't for Mason, they would have been in danger.
"He's a friend of mine. I wanted to eat some Japanese cuisine, so I invited him out. Coincidentally, Mason also brought his employees with us, and we ended up running into you," Noah said, smiling.
"He has employees, so he must be a boss. Although he dresses casually, he has a certain air about him. He seems like an important man. How did you meet someone like him, honey?" Lisa couldn't help but ask again.
"Um, I met him when I was strolling in the park watching an old man play chess." Noah casually made up an answer.
Lisa nodded, believing it to be true. "He helped us a lot. If we have the time, let's invite him over for a meal at home to express our gratitude."
"Sure, I'll ask him one of these days. I'll invite him over when he's available," Noah said.
...
On the top floor of Building 1 in Wealth Plaza, Oceanbridge City, Noah stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery outside. Samuel stood behind him, reporting on work.
"Noah, Ivan has arrived in the Desert Continent and has started taking over the project there.
"Now that Garrett's is dead, a vacancy has opened up in the slum area project, and we’re looking for potential partners. If you have any recommendations, feel free to let me know.
"In addition, Noah Capital is preparing to invest in a financial company and planning to establishing a bank in Oceanbridge City. Noah Capital will have the largest stake, and you can arrange for..."
Noah listened quietly.
These were truly rich and powerful people.
They didn't need to work hard every day, exhausted just trying to make ends meet.
At this level, they didn't have to do anything. Simply casually revealing a piece of information could instantly transform an ordinary person's life.
"Oh, by the way, renovation has also started at Summit Retreat Oasis. We've hired a top designer from France, who has won numerous awards and is very important in the French design industry."
Samuel pressed a button on the remote control, and a projection appeared on the office wall.
"The designer has provided me with five different housing decoration design options. Take a look, Noah."
Noah looked at the projection on the wall and carefully reviewed each one before saying, "I think the third one suits her. She likes a warm and romantic atmosphere."
"Alright, that's the third one. I'll notify the designer later." Samuel nodded and turned off the projector.
Suddenly, Noah's phone rang.
"Hello, darling." Noah answered the phone and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
"Honey, something's wrong!"
Lisa said anxiously. "Evelyn just sent me a message saying she doesn't want to live anymore and wants to commit suicide!"
"If she wants to commit suicide, let her. Why are you so worried?"
Noah was somewhat speechless; he wasn’t very fond for Evelyn. Noah couldn't be bothered if she took sleeping pills or jumped off a building,.
"But we can't just do nothing!"
Lisa said, "Although Evelyn can be harsh, deep down she’s kind-hearted. I can't just stand by and watch her commit suicide!"
"Honey, you better come over quickly. Evelyn is at the Celestial Canopy River. I'm afraid she might really jump into the river. I'm already here, but... I can't swim."
"I got it, I'll come over right away." Noah said. He wasn’t worried about Evelyn. He was worried about Lisa.
His silly wife had gone to the Celestial Canopy River, and if she fell in, it would be a big problem.
Before long, Noah arrived at the edge of the Celestial Canopy River. He called Lisa and found her in about five minutes.
The river glistened with waves. Many boats were sailing on the river, emitting smoke and making a humming sound.
Evelyn sat by the riverside, a half bottle of whiskey beside her, crying miserably.
As she sobbed, she murmured to herself, "Boo hoo, Joshua, I didn't expect you to be like this... boo hoo..."
Lisa was comforting her softly beside her.
"What happened?" Noah asked.
Evelyn frowned when she saw him.
"Why are you here, Noah? Lisa, did you invite him over to make fun of me?"
"No, Evelyn, I was just worried about you. That's why I brought my husband over, so that someone could take care of you," Lisa quickly explained.
"Hmph, I don't believe it!"
Evelyn shook her head, "I’m sure Noah came over to mock as soon as he heard that I wanted to commit suicide!"
