?Chapter 1226:


    Nate looked at Moses, his expression unreadable. “Are you nning to expand into Lyhaton as well?”


    Lyhaton had been growing steadily with a strong economy, making it an attractive ce for investment.


    “It all depends on whether the Ford family, the richest in Lyhaton, will let me,” Moses said with his usual grin, though his eyes remained sharp. “Besides, this deal is just about my personal interests, nothing more.”


    His words hinted that he wouldn’t challenge the Ford family’s hold on power and might even support them quietly.


    Corrine lowered her eyes, hiding her thoughts.


    The Ford family had held the title of the wealthiest for years—a position not easily toppled. But if the Seymour family from the Independent Continent stepped in, it would surely shake the Ford family’s status.


    It was simr to when Andromache used the Hopkins family’s influence to sway people into taking sides, all while eyeing the Ford family’s top position.


    Moses’ words were both a promise to Nate and a friendly message to Corrine. Though Moses appearedid-back, he always focused on key issues and made decisions at the right moment.


    After all, as the future leader of the Seymour family, he couldn’t afford to be just another careless yboy.


    “The Ashton family is already bidding on thend down south. It will likely be their future development area. Are you sure you want to snatch the opportunity from them?” Nate’s dark eyes were like deep, endless pools—impossible to read.


    “Real estate is no small matter. Once it takes off, everyone will notice.”


    “There’s concern the Seymour family from the Independent Continent might use this chance to step in.”

    “As a refined person like me, how could I ever resort to something so crude as snatching?” Moses said casually, folding a pancake and dipping it in sauce. He added some grilled meat and ced the wrapped pancake on Karina’s te. “It’s all about reasoning and persuasion. The Ashton family’s resources are limited. They might not be able to follow through quickly. Who knows what problems coulde upter? Anyone with sense would know which option is better.”


    “The Ashton family has a shady past, and people remember that. This time, when someone brought the southern project to my attention, I had no choice but to do them this favor, right? If I develop the southern district, Corrine can move around freely there. We’re like family, and it doesn’t matter which of us gets the opportunity, don’t you think?”


    Nate stayed quiet, clearly agreeing with Moses.


    “The Ashton family is set on winning the southern district project,” Nate said. After leaving the Ashton family, Corrine had taken control of several of their projects in the east.


    Now, the Ashton family was targeting the south to expand their development.


    Moses grinned. “Funny, that’s my n too.”


    Whoever won the project would depend entirely on their skills.
