“I laughed because she told us that Pollerton will undergo land reclamation when she could not even provide any documents, news, or insider message to back her up. What she said was the biggest joke of the century!” Sylvia said.
Everyone was dumbfounded after listening to her words. They then erupted into a heated discussion.
“Is she joking or what? Pollerton will undergo land reclamation?” Rodrick sneered.
“Who dares to plan for land reclamation at a Class One Conservation Area? Who even dares to downgrade a Class One Conservation Area to a Class Four Conservation Area in Pollerton?” Dexter smirked.
Nigel's cousin, Samantha asked while pursing her lips, “Is she crazy?”
Nigel chimed in, “Shannon, please explain the criteria needed to downgrade Class One Conservation Area to Class Four
Conservation Area.”
Shannon nodded and explained clearly, “According to the international law, Class One to Class Three Conservation Area is not allowed to undergo land reclamation. The area around Pollerton Estates is a Class One Conservation Area. If one wishes to perform landfill in that area, one should first degrade that area into a Class Four Conservation Area. To degrade the area, one has to report to the Nations' Union to get their approval. With that, the Nations' Union will set up a professional team to conduct field visits in that area. Then, a Global Public Announcement will be posted on the official website for six months. After the period, the documents will be sent to the domestic department for approval if there aren't any complaints. Then, the case will move forward for fifty
first-grade officers to vote before it is sent to Chiliad Avion. I have checked online. Currently, there's only one announcement regarding land reclamation, and it is in Durbaine, not Pollerton Estates.”
Jennifer jolted back to her senses, and her face went pale after listening to Shannon's words.
She's so capable! I don't even know the process in detail and the existence of an international official website. How can I possibly win ? Did I make a wrong assumption?
Nigel smiled and said, “Jennifer, you've made a wrong calculation. We have a different vision and aim from you. That is why prominent families could maintain their wealth for so many years. Some people spend their whole life trying to join our circle but to no avail. You don't even know what a conservation area is, the process of approval, and the process of posting a public announcement. You are not permitted to log on to the official website as well. Even if the land reclamation documents are given to you, how can you differentiate if they are legit or not?”
Jennifer was rendered speechless.
Everything that had happened so far was a huge blow to her.
She could not help but glance at Leonard, Linda, and Kevin, seeking support from them.
However, to her dismay, the trio huddled in
a corner in fear with their heads lowered.
“Okay. I get it now.” Jennifer nodded before fishing out a rectangular box. She held that box tightly in her hands and strode over to Conner. “Anyway, happy birthday to you, Granduncle Conner!”
Inside the box was a cup made of special minerals. It contained various trace elements that were good for health if used long-term.
Sylvia lifted her cane and smashed the cup. “How dare you give us rubbish?” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
The cup instantly dropped to the ground and shattered into pieces, just like Jennifer's heart.
A frown crept up on Dexter's face as he thought Sylvia was going overboard. “Grandma, that's enough.”
Sylvia turned and stared at Dexter expressionlessly. “What? Are you going to stand up for her?”
Dexter answered straightforwardly, “She made an incorrect assumption, that's all. She didn't do anything wrong.”
Sylvia exclaimed, “She wears knock-off products, and that's sufficient to jeopardize the Wilson family's name. Is she not wrong?
Dexter was quite irritated. “Who said she is wearing fake products?”
Sylvia looked at Jennifer with a gaze full of mockery. “Is she not wearing fake products? Eternal Love and A Midsummer Night's Dream are famous luxurious items designed by Lilith, the renowned designer. Both of the products are worth more than twenty million. Are you telling me she is wearing genuine products? Do you think I'll believe it?” Then, she stared at the others who were present. “Do you all believe it?”
