Timothy wasn't trying to be secretive at all. He placed the project proposal on top of the pile of documents.
"| plan to, but they haven't responded so far. Since I'm visiting Nord City this time, | intend to meet with their boss." "Oh, so you're planning to meet their boss. But | heard that the owner of Aide Castle seems quite mysterious.
You might not be able to meet him." Mia didn't plan to reveal her identity. She had been managing her businesses behind the scenes for years at the behest of Dominic, after all. His intention to conceal her identity was to prevent the Barretts from finding her since he didn't want them to stress her out again, indirectly exacerbating her condition.
However, she no longer needed to conceal her identity since Timothy already knew who she was. Nonetheless, she still didn't intend to blow her cover easily.
Timothy turned toward her. "Do you know the owner of Aide Castle?" "Hey, how could | possibly know? Maybe Dominic knows him. Since I'm pretty well-off, I've been lazing around at hlately. The first thing that pops up in my mind every t| wake up is figuring out where to spend my money." "Good. You're living the dream life." "Yeah, | know. Not everyone has brothers who dote on them like | do. They're incredibly talented as well! They just love sendingmoney!" A smile spread across Timothy's face when he saw her bragging. "If you could helpget in touch with the owner of Aide Castle, | can give you a commission." Mia's eyes lit up at the mention of a commission. "Are you referring to a commission based on the revenue of the project? Or is it a commission based on the down payment?" Timothy narrowed his eyes. "You're quite knowledgeable, huh?" She laughed and said, "I might be lazing around all these years, but | did learn something after being around Dominic for so many years. It's barely a scratch on the surface, though." "Well, it's a 10% commission on the down payment," Timothy replied calmly.
"It's not a lot, is it? It wouldn't even be enough forto buy a bag. But why do you want to work with Aide Castle?" "It's simple. | can take over the market of luxurious hotels if we work with Aide Castle. This market has yet to form a systematic structure, and I'm certain that we would dominate the entire market in Bern City if we collaborate with Aide Castle. It's a win-win situation!" Mia saw the proposal offered by the Barretts before. She knew their intention, which was mainly to penetrate the market in Bern City by leveraging Aide Castle's brand. Coupled with the Barretts' influence in Bern City, their plan would be extremely successful.
She contemplated for a while and said, "The owner of Aide Castle is quite wealthy as well. He could've just developed this project on his own in Bern City, and there's no need for him to share the cake with another party." "There is still a difference. If the owner of Aide Castle refuses to cooperate with me, I'll cup with a similar project and find a way to eliminate his resort from Bern City's market." Mia winced. "Mr. Barrett, you're playing dirty." She totally didn't expect him to be so ruthless if she refused to cooperate with him.
