The Queen They Buried (by Wynter Vans) novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573

Bryan didn’t answer right away. Worried he might be unhappy, Santiago quickly added, “Mr Wilson, there’s no need to make it so nobody gets a piece of the pie, right?”

Bryan knew that after guarding the gold mine for so long, there was no way the village chief’s family would be satisfied with just being bought off with a lump sum

He’d drawn such a hard line on purpose as he was waiting for the village chief’s family to name their own terms, so he could keep the upper hand.

Getting half the profits was already more than generous. Besides, the Wilson Group’s real objective wasn’t even the gold mine.

In the end, he raised his glass and agreed, “Here’s to a successful partnership.”

Back at the hotel, Carmen pushed open the door and could just make out that there was someone sitting on the sofa.

From the shape of the figure….

Carmen gasped, “Alvin?”

s Alvin.

He turned to look at her, calm and unhurried as he questioned, “So, what did you all talk about today?”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Carmen replied.

With the village chief on their side, they’d have a great shot at landing the project.

But Alvin didn’t help her just so the Wilson Group could easily snag the deal.

“You fool!” Alvin snapped. “If the project gets settled this way, what does it have to do with you? All the credit will go to Bryan, and you’ll just end up

worse off.”

“Then what am I supposed to do?” Carmen asked, feeling lost.

No matter what kind of personal grudges she had with Bryan, at the end of the day, they were still family.

There’s no way she could just sit back and let Aubree snatch the project for herself.

“Once Bryan gets tied up in the investigation, you’ll be the only one left to speak for the Wilson Group. With the village chief out of the way, and I’ve already dealt with the toughest holdout in the village, landing this project will be a walk in the park,”

Carmen gave a charming smile and agreed, “Isn’t it obvious? Of course I’m with you.
