The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1286

Her husband, however, was incredibly devoted to his parents.

If his wife didn't want to visit on regular days, he didn't mind, but skipping the holidays was out of the question.

Rose disliked returning to the West End just as much as her mother did; the place was a constant reminder of a less-than-ideal childhood.

But what could they do when her grandparents absolutely refused to move?

Well, the tables had finally turned. The West End was officially marked for redevelopment!

Rose had previously sucked up to Claire solely because her family heard the James family was going to secure the West End project.

Rose's family didn't just want a piece of the pie; they wanted to line their own pockets as much as possible during the buyout phase.

Who could have predicted that the James family would go bankrupt over this very project?

They had initially lost all hope for the redevelopment, spending their days sighing in bitter disappointment.

But then, everything flipped in the blink of an eye.

Vertex International, swooping in from Cabinda, proved to be an absolute powerhouse, planning the West End's revitalization flawlessly.

The area had already undergone a massive transformation.

At the very least, the new culinary district was already taking shape.

Initially planned as a simple restaurant strip, the local government had been so impressed by Vertex International's brilliant urban planning that they threw in massive tax breaks and subsidies.

The goal was to build the West End into a landmark culinary destination.

While government involvement usually meant more red tape and less corporate flexibility...

...the permits were pushed through at lightning speed. The city had practically rolled out the red carpet!

As a result, construction on the culinary district was moving at record pace.

"My grandfather's house might be old, but it's massive. It has its own private yard. The buyout alone is worth over a million dollars," Rose bragged.

"But he's so stubborn. He refused to leave his old stomping grounds, so he traded a portion of it for a commercial storefront in the new culinary district."

"So, the leftover cash buyout is just under a million."

"But that's still a fortune."
