Chapter 70 Niko Is Missing
When Penny mentioned the person, Cason's anger was rekindled and his tone was dissatisfied. His
guilt towards Penny's mother lessened.
Penny no longer wanted to argue with him. "Philip did not commit any wrongdoing."
Cason's face darkened again. He desired to express his opinion, but he resisted and expressed his
disappointment towards his daughter with a strained expression.
Penny and the agent got into the car directly, ignoring the gaze behind them.
The agent drove in front, noticing that Penny looked displeased and quickly changed the subject.
"This house is in a good location, and the surrounding amenities are complete. A three-minute walk will
bring you to a large underground shopping center. In addition, the setting is peaceful, and the schools
from kindergarten to high school are excellent. But I have even better houses available, albeit at a
higher price."
Penny wasn't in the mood to think about the price right now. She no longer wanted to be harsh on
herself. So what if it was a little pricey?
Finally, the agent took her to an upscale residential area.
It was called an upscale residential area because the housing prices here were indeed very expensive,
with better locations and better amenities than the previous one.
But it was called a small upscale residential area because every two years there would be news about
the legal wife catching the mistress.
So in the eyes of many people, those who lived here were indeed wealthy, not because they were
personally rich, but because it was a place where the rich hid their mistresses.
Naturally, Penny didn't care about these comments. She fell in love with the environment inside the
community at first sight.
"Ms. Stuart, the selling price of this house is 14 million dollars. The owner spent 7 million just on the
decoration. Because the owner was in a hurry to go abroad to take care of her children, she is selling it
at the price of a basic house. Such a price for this property is hard to come by."
Penny also took a look at the decoration. It was the style she liked. And the house faced the atrium with
a beautiful view. The building was a duplex with a total of five floors, and this unit was on the top floor.
The other unit shared the common area was occupied by a young girl.
Penny really liked it. Even though she knew the agent's words might be exaggerated, she readily paid
a deposit of several million dollars. The remaining amount would be supplemented once her flat was
sold.
"Okay, when Ms. Stuart completes the down payment, I'll give you the keys directly."
After signing a simple contract with the agent, Penny returned to Hills Villa.
As soon as she walked in, she noticed Anika getting ready to leave. Anika looked relieved as she saw
her return, as if she had found a savior.
"Ms. Stuart, Niko is missing."
Penny's heart skipped a beat. "How could he be missing?"
A tinge of guilt appeared on Anika's face. "It's all my fault. I was busy tidying up Niko's big room and
didn't notice it chasing after your car. I just checked the surveillance video and found that it followed
your car and left."
Niko used to stick to her and would even chase after her car.
But Penny was in a hurry this morning to meet with the agent, so she didn't pay attention to Niko. Now,
she deeply regretted it.
"I'll go out and look for Niko. Anika, don't worry. If Niko comes back, give me a call."
Anika was anxious, but she was of a certain age, and even if she went out, she probably wouldn't be
able to tell the difference between Niko and other dogs.
Penny couldn't rest. She drove along the same route she took in the morning, retracing her steps.
"Orlando, the higher-ups personally called Rex about this project. Because Rex served in the military
before, the government offered this plan. We can modify it at any time, and the government will provide
all the manpower resources. If the tourist attraction really gets established, the Fletcher Group will have
expanded into the tourism sector."
Zane followed behind Orlando, speaking with a respectful tone.
Orlando stopped in his tracks. "Which companies competed for this project before?"
Palm International, Delight, and Double World. Palm International invested 2 billion dollars and
temporarily outshined the other two."
"To what extent is the government willing to support?"
"The higher-ups have made it clear that if the tourist attraction can be built, then any public activity
venues built by the company in charge will be provided with land directly by the government."
This was a huge cake. With the government providing land, it meant saving billions of dollars in costs.
No wonder Palm International was willing to offer a high price for developing a tourist attraction in a
small county.
"Tomorrow, come with me to visit the site in person."
Zane nodded. Just as he was about to open the car door for Orlando, a fluffy white figure suddenly
appeared and tried to jump into the car in a familiar manner.
Only then did he realize it was a dog. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
His expression instantly changed. Orlando was allergic to dog hair.
Whose dog was this?
