“I’ll say it right now that you won’t be able to change my mind, and worse come to worst, I’ll just have all the residents in the area move with you. Losing a billion dollars or so means little to me,” added Ian in an indifferent expression, causing Xavia to feel a headache coming.
She, for one, was well aware that those with power enjoyed expressing their gratitude through monetary means, and if their gratitude was denied… Well, they’d assume that the person had a hidden agenda. Regardless, that also meant that he was probably being extra overbearing because he wanted to put some distance between them.
