Chapter 167 Harvey stated confidently , You just mentioned the new development zone .

If its not East Side , where else could it be ? Lets turn on the TV and watch the news .

Im sure the media will be calling me , the biggest winner , for interviews any minute now ! Then , he lounged back , feeling smug .

Leroy rushed to turn on the TV like an eager puppy , and the Stevens family watched intently , brimming with excitement .

Someone muttered , Wait … that doesnt look like the East Side ! .

Its not East Side .

It looks more like West End .

Yeah , its definitely West End that run down area with all the cheap land around it .

The city tried to sell it before , but no one was stupid enough to take it , another commented .

The Stevens family members quickly realized something was wrong .

The payments being discussed on TV were not for the East Side at all , but for the West End the complete opposite side of town .

Cold sweat broke out on Harveys forehead , though he tried to maintain his composure .noveldrama

Ah , West End … I hadnt heard they were developing that area too .

Dont worry , everyone .

The big news usually comes later theyll cover East Side after West End .

Irene sighed in relief .

That nearly gave me a heart attack .

But youre right , Harvey .

Theyll announce our East Side payout any minute now .

Come on , hurry up ! Leroy bounced impatiently .

I need my millions for my Bugatti ! Christina remained silent , but her clenched fists betrayed her anxiety .

Andrew glanced at them , fighting back laughter at their collective stupidity especially Harvey , who was still in denial even now .

Francesca could not contain herself like Andrew and giggled behind her hand , already guessing the huge disappointment that awaited Harvey and the Stevens family .

Then , the camera turned to Mark , who was surrounded by Jayrodale officials for an interview .

The reporter asked , Mr.

Thatcher , why was West End chosen for the new development zone instead of areas like East Side or South City ? the reporter asked ..

This decision was made after careful consideration of all factors , Mark explained .

West End has always been the citys priority for redevelopment .

Christina turned off the TV , her mind completely blank .

Leroy trembled with rage as he turned to Harvey and shouted , That money I gave you was everything 1 had ! What the hell happened to East Side ? How did it become West End ? I want my money back right now !!! Gone was any pretense of respect Chapter 167 45 BONUS Irene looked like she was about to faint , struggling to contain her fury as she stared at Harvey .

Her face crumpled as she fought back tears .

After all , she had invested every penny of her retirement savings , and now it was all gone .
