Chapter 345
“Alright!” Jamie replied.
Angeline smiled as she looked over the data on her computer screen. She wasn’t familiar with Lara. So, she would observe her attitude first. Then, Angeline would decide whether to put on a show or be direct instead.
The rumors said that Robert had made Angeline vice president of Lawson Group to determine if she or Sean was more worthy of being his successor. While Sean was an impressive man, Angeline was able to build Vitality Biotech Group into the company that it was presently. It was no small feat to do so in just four years.
Angeline could use this rumor to her advantage during her meeting with Lara. Lara arrived sooner than Angeline thought.
Lara didn’t beat around the bush.
“I heard you’ve just acquired a piece of land from a small company. Please name your price! That land is… quite important to me.”
Angeline feigned surprise before pulling out a document.
“This piece of land, you mean?”
Lara glanced at it and nodded.
“Yes, that’s it. Name your price!”
“My apologies, Ms. Lara.”
Angeline waved a sheaf of documents detailing Lawson Global’s plans for developing that area. She smiled.
“I’m sure you’re aware that Lawson Global is rushing to develop a new industrial area after their success with the microchip and lithography machine market. So—”
Lara cut her off before she could finish.
“Have you heard about Scott Incorporated’s major project to develop Krontos’ CBD?”
Angeline put down the papers and nodded.
“I’ve caught wind of some whispers. With the government backing them, I’m sure they’ll succeed. Let me congratulate you on that.”
“That land was among the pieces of land we were supposed to develop. We would have gotten the rights to it if you hadn’t swooped in at the last moment.”
Lara said with a forced smile.
“I’ll be honest with you since you currently own it. That piece of land is important to Scott Incorporated

“You know that I’ve only just recently become vice president of Lawson Global. I’m young and new, so I need to cement my position here by producing results.”
Angeline smiled as she placed her arms on the armrests of her chair.
“And I’ll be honest with you too. I need to accumulate as much capital as I can to compete against Sean.”
Lara raised an eyebrow. The situation was just as she thought.
Lara had weighed her choices during her journey to Lawson Global. She figured she should trade favors with Angeline. If Angeline could
successfully dethrone Sean as the Lawsons next successor, then it would benefit Lara. After all, Sean was Monica’s fiancé. Monica only had the drive she had now at Scott Incorporated because of him.
“So, how do you want to work with Scott Incorporated?” Lara asked.
Angeline pulled out the document at the bottom of the sheaf and handed it to Lara.
“Both Lawson Global and Scott Incorporated shall complete this project together. Aside from this piece of land, we can also fund half of it.”
Lara raised an eyebrow. If Angeline would be funding half of this project, then that meant that she wanted half of the profits. Lara thought Angeline had quite the appetite for risk and reward.
Lara didn’t look through the papers. She gave a forced smile.
“It seems that you’ve had everything prepared.”
“I know your time is precious, and I don’t want to delay you any further,” Angeline
replied with a grin.
