Chapter 144
As soon as these words were spoken, Paul’s smile immediately disappeared.
Adjacent to Malcolm’s land was the land purchased by the Castillo family with half the
money. Malcolm’s words clearly indicated his Intention to implicate Paul in this
situation.
Mr. Xavier furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment, seemingly acknowledging
some truth in Malcolm’s statement. “Mr. Ford has a point. In order to protect our
national treasure, we should conduct a thorough search. Mr. Castillo, can you
cooperate?”
Paul hesitated. “The two pieces of land are quite far apart. Even if it were an ancient.
emperor’s tomb, it shouldn’t require such a large area. There shouldn’t be anything on
my land.”
“Mr. Castillo, your statement is incorrect. You just mentioned that you wanted to learn
from me, but now that it concerns your land, you’re making excuses?” Malcolm
launched an attack.

Paul smiled helplessly. “Why bother, Mr. Ford?”
Malcolm spoke frankly: “Mr. Castillo, don’t pretend to be ignorant in front of me. What’s
the deal with digging up the national treasure? You and I both know the truth, and the
other two individuals present are also aware of the situation. You’re deliberately making
things difficult for me, so can’t I defend myself?”
Mr. Xavier didn’t fully comprehend the intricacies of the business world, but he could
sense that, despite both being in the real estate industry, Mr. Ford and Mr. Castillo didn’t
have a good relationship. It seemed that he had made a mistake with this plan.
Mr. Xavier said, “Alright, let’s have some food first. We can discuss this later.”
‘I still have work tonight, so let’s resolve this quickly.” Malcolm was enraged, and he
wanted to vent his anger on Paul. Paul had unwittingly walked into his trap, so he had
no intention of showing any respect. He directly stated, “Mr. Castillo, there have always
been suspicions surrounding the land you acquired. I’ve had this doubt for a while. No
one in the business world engages in charity work. How could they be so generous as
to sell you such prime land at half the market price? Is there an undisclosed transaction
involved?”
Paul’s face instantly darkened. ‘Mr. Ford, your accusations are unfounded. It’s true that
I acquired the land at a low price, but it was the seller’s decision to sell it to me at half
the price. This is a matter between me and the seller. Do I need to report to you?”
“Of course not, but as a law–abiding citizen, I naturally have the right to question
anything that may be unreasonable or even encroach on national resources. I simply
want to clarify the situation.”
“I sold this piece of land to Mr. Castillo.” Mr. Sniper, who had remained silent all along,
whispered as he served a bowl of soup to Sherry, “I acquired this piece of land five
years ago, and the specific price was publicly displayed on the website. It definitely did
not exploit the country. If Mr. Ford doubts it, you can verify it on the official website.”
He spoke calmly, in stark contrast to Malcolm’s aggressive demeanor.
Malcolm was slightly taken aback. “You sold it to the Castillo family?”
That’s correct.”
Just for Sherry? You gave away billions of dollars‘ worth of real estate to the Castillo

family?”
“Yes,” Mr. Sniper readily admitted, “Sherry is my partner, and the Castillo family has been
kind to her. So, I am repaying their kindness.”
Malcolm had long suspected that this masked man was not ordinary, but he never
expected him to have such a significant background!
He had been fixated on that piece of land for a long time, trying every possible method
to acquire it, but to no avail. There was a rumor that a mysterious buyer had bought it,
but it had been vacant for five years without any progress. He had even attempted to
locate this mysterious buyer, but there were no leads. He could only settle for buying
the adjacent piece of land.
“Who exactly are you?”
Mr. Sniper stirred the soup with a spoon, tested the temperature, and then placed the
bowl in front of Sherry. He calmly and leisurely replied, “Who I am is not important.
What’s important is that Mr. Ford trespassed into my residence without permission.
Isn’t that unbecoming of a young entrepreneur?”

Malcolm snorted coldly, “I simply went to speak with Sherry about something.”
‘I see,” Mr. Sniper lightly chuckled. “Has it been resolved?”
Malcolm mockingly looked at him. Did this person really need to ask when he already
knew that he had gone to room 2307 at the Hilton Hotel, and Sherry must have
disclosed their conversation to him?
He said, “It hasn’t been resolved yet, so I’ll have to find Sherry again in the future.

Mr. Sniper nodded. “If Mr. Ford has any future matters to discuss, why not speak to me
directly?”
“Do you have the authority to meddle in matters between me and Sherry?”
“I do have the authority,” Mr. Sniper smiled. “Don’t believe me? Ask Sherry.”
Before Malcolm could respond, Sherry quickly replied, “Mr. Ford, I think it’s wonderful
and fitting for you to marry my cousin. I have already given my blessings to both of you.
I will attend the wedding and congratulate you. Isn’t that why you came to find me?!

have already given you my answer, so what else is there to discuss?”
Malcolm was so furious that his chest ached, but he couldn’t show it in this situation.
Instead, he devised another plan: “Alright then, since you’re her cousin, why don’t you
personally do her bridal makeup?”
Using the same tactic again? Sherry firmly rejected him. “That’s unfortunate. I am
already exclusively contracted as Christopher’s makeup artist. We have signed an
agréement, and during the contract period, I can only do makeup for Christopher. So,
I’m sorry, Mr. Ford, but you’ll have to find another makeup artist.”
“You’re talking nonsense! How long did it take for you to meet Christopher’s agent
before signing the contract? Are you kidding me?”
Sherry shrugged. “We get along very well, and Camila also works under Christopher. I
did it to help Camila. Mr. Castillo has always been concerned about her, so if I work with
Camila, Mr. Castillo can feel more at ease. Am I right, Mr. Castillo?”
Paul nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, with you around, I can truly be at ease.”

“What about Mateo?” Malcolm inquired further, “Weren’t you Mateo’s makeup artist at
the car exhibition? Even if you have signed a contract with Christopher, would Mateo
allow you to leave?”
Sherry stared at him in disbelief and questioned, “Mr. Ford, did you happen to forget
your common sense? Maverick is Christopher’s superior, which consequently makes
him my superior too. Mr. Mateo, being Maverick’s younger brother, it’s only natural for
them to have shared employees.”
“Sherry!”
“Yes?” Sherry tilted her head and chuckled. “Mr. Ford, do you have anything else to add?
Just speak directly to my boyfriend from now on. He can make decisions on my behalf,
and I will adhere to them.”
