Chapter 177 He’s Still Not Giving Up
At the thought of that, Noah felt annoyed. Judging from the people’s expressions in the room, he knew something was wrong.
He smiled at Ashley and whined, “Honey, what’s going on? Please don’t beat around the bush anymore. How could you all gang up on me? I’m the head of the family.”
Once Noah finished speaking, he sat down as Ashley explained everything.
Ever finding out about the land the Marshalls bought, whether it was the Kaufmanns or Ashley’s family, the Donnellys, they had planned to lend a helping hand to the Marshalls.
But the first thing Freya thought of was to recover the losses.
Otherwise, even with the combined efforts of the Kaufmann and Donnelly families, all three families would still suffer losses because of that 30 billion dollars.
Especially since Ashley had a younger brother, the Donnelly family wouldn’t give it their all to help the Marshall family.
“Freya intentionally set up a trap. When she found out about the mountain range, she thought of using the gold mine to deceive the Porters. So she secretly paid a visit to that land during the birthday banquet”
Freya’s plan was simple. Knowing that Ernie had planted a spy in Marshall Enterprise, she thought there might also be one in the Marshall Residence.
Therefore, she deliberately left through the back door that day, letting the spy know she had gone to that land.
Later, Ernie noticed something was wrong and sent someone to investigate. The person soon found out Freya and Radley had visited that land. The two had switched to an off–road vehicle filled with detectors and mining equipment.
The truth was that they deliberately made it easy for others to discover them. Although it sounded simple, it was quite difficult to make it seem unstaged.
Ernie immediately sent someone to check out the land. While Freya and Radley had set up checkpoints everywhere, they purposefully left a small passage. The gold they had buried beforehand would be a short distance away from that entrance.
Freya smiled and said, “Although those gold bricks are valuable, they are nothing compared to 30 billion.”
Noah pursed his lips and asked, “How much did you bury?”
The other answered, “Not much. A little over a hundred kilograms.”
Melissa widened her eyes and exclaimed, “Frey, gold is now over three hundred dollars per gram. You said -a–little over a hundred kilograms? If one kilogram is three hundred thousand, a little over a hundred
kilograms would be-”
Ryan calculated the cost and looked at Freya. “So you buried over three billion in that land?”
Freya chuckled. “Although the expenses aren’t small, they are insignificant when compared to the 30 billion Uncle Noah lost.”
After pondering for a few seconds, Noah concurred, “Well, the Porters thought it was a large gold mine and gave me an extra billion. In the end, we made a net profit of nine hundred and seventy million.”
Hearing that, Freya burst out laughing. “Uncle Noah, it’s actually one billion. I’ve already sent someone to dig up the gold.”
There was no way she would throw away over three billion dollars.
Braxton narrowed his eyes and asked, “Where did you get the gold bars?”
Freya thought for a moment and honestly replied, “Radley gave them to me. I couldn’t gather that many gold bricks all at once, and he also provided the necessary equipment.”
Once she said that, all the Marshalls‘ expressions fell.
Noah seemed upset. “He’s still not giving up, is he?”
Freya chuckled. “He was a big help this time, and our families are now business partners too. Brax, since I’ve already forgotten the past, you should stop hating him.”
Seeing Braxton turning red with anger, Ashley quickly changed the topic.
“This was a good plan, but I’m afraid the Porters will use it as an excuse to say that we tricked them. We might end up in a lawsuit.”
Freya sneered. “Do you think they’ll stand a chance to win? Besides, we bought it for 30 billion, and they paid an extra billion when they bought it back. It’s just a normal increase in value.”
“Don’t bother worrying if they can win the lawsuit or not.” Noah smiled and explained, “There are surveillance cameras in the small building. Otherwise, why do you think I arranged for us to talk there? The scene of Ernie and his wife crying and clinging to my leg is all recorded on footage. He said he did something guilty, and his father’s spirit wants to doom him every day. That’s why he thought of buying back the land. If he dares to cause us any trouble, I’ll just release the video to the public.”
Hearing that, Freya grinned. “Uncle Noah’s right. We never mentioned there was a gold mine here, and he mentioned he did it because he was afraid of his father’s spirit. What reason does he have to come at us? We were already very lenient to him by not suing him.
Sarah smiled when she heard this.
Her smile was truly a smile of relief.
“The Marshall family’s large crisis has now passed.” She looked at Freya and smiled. “We have to thank Freya for this. Otherwise, our family would have-”
Freya shook her head. “Actually, I thought of the gold mine idea, but Radley was the one who implemented it.”
After coming to Vroria, she didn’t have any manpower here, and it would have alerted Ernie if she asked the Marshalls for help.
“If we only spread the news that the Kaufmanns want to acquire that land, Ernie would have suspicions.” Freya whispered, “Fortunately, Radley was willing to cooperate…”
She glanced at Braxton, whose face was growing colder and colder, and finally shut her mouth obediently.
“We should invite Mr. Monaghan to dinner when we have time.” Ashley smiled. “Braxton, don’t look so gloomy. You should know how big of a deal this is to our family.”
Thirty billion dollars.
That amount of money was not just a minor setback for the Marshall family. If this matter wasn’t handled properly, it could lead to bankruptcy.
Sarah thought for a moment and sighed. “Noah, from now on, you should discuss everything with your wife before making any decisions!”
The entire Marshall family was happy, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they appeared happy during this period, everyone was actually worried about Marshall Enterprise.
But now, they didn’t have to worry anymore and had somewhat gotten their revenge.
Freya smiled mischievously. “It’s a pity that the Porters got away lucky. They walked away with 30 billion from us, and now they’ve only returned it. In my opinion, we should get another 30 billion from them. Only then would he have gotten our revenge.”
Then, Noah explained with a sneer, “Even if the Porters sold off all their assets, they still wouldn’t be able to gather five billion. Now that they had to spend another billion to require the land, I’m sure Ernie would
feel heartbroken.”
Ashley pipped in gently, “The Porters have tarnished their reputation in Vroria. So don’t worry about it, Freya. We won’t let them off easily.”
“Not just Marshall Enterprise, but also the Kaufmann Group,” Braxton added.
Freya thought for a moment and smiled. “You’re right. I’ll inform Isabella, Ryan, and Chris about this when I return home.”
They could truly get revenge by joining forces to block the Porters‘ business.
Seeing that everyone was happy, Freya smiled.
“Uncle Noah, let’s not talk about this for now and don’t target the Porters for the time being.”
“Why?”
Smiling, Freya added, “Let the Porters find out for themselves. Ernie loves to show off, so I’m afraid this news won’t stay hidden for long.”
However, something beyond their expectations happened.
That afternoon, news about the discovery of the largest gold mine in the country went viral.
The trending topic was filled with discussions.
Wow, a gold mine that spans nearly a thousand kilometers!‘
‘How concentrated is the gold? Can I go and dig some?”
Amidst the heated discussions, the Porter Group had yet to release any statement.
At 4. p.m., Freya left the Marshall Residence through the back door.
Radley’s car was already waiting at the door.
Freya’s lips twitched for a moment, and she got into the car.
Radley sat in the back seat and looked up at her from his tablet.
“Everything has been taken care of. Thank you so much.” Freya sincerely expressed her gratitude.
Radley looked at her with his deep eyes as he replied, “No need to thank me.
