Chapter 7 Billion Dollar Investment

Tyler did not expect the owner of the gold shop to send someone over with the necklace.

However, when he thought back to the enthusiastic attitude of the middle-aged boss when he was in the gold shop, Tyler knew what was going on.

The owner of the gold shop must have wanted to build a relationship with himself, so he sent the diamond necklace.

As for why he wanted to build a relationship, Tyler had yet to figure that out.

"When I was in the gold shop today, the boss already wanted to give me this necklace," Tyler said.

When Susan heard this, she became annoyed, "Hehe, you’re so capable now, your skills in telling lies are fantastic."

Tyler knew no matter what he said, Susan would not believe it, so he did not bother to explain any further.

Ramona had been watching Tyler on the side, and her heart felt like it was in shambles. She also wanted to believe in Tyler, but these two facts were too unbelievable for it to be convincing.

"Mom, we can't just take things from others without giving something in return. Return this diamond necklace tomorrow," Ramona said to Susan after thinking about it for a while.

Susan's facial expression was unpleasant. She liked this necklace so much that she could not bear to return it.

"Silly girl, how is it that we’re taking things from others without giving something in return? This must’ve been bought by Young Master Kingsley, who instructed the gold shop to send it."

"If he was the one who bought it, we should most definitely not take it," Ramona said.

"Since Young Master Kingsley is being so sincere, let’s just accept this gift."

As Susan was talking, she had put on the necklace and looked left and right in the mirror.

"Tyler, let's go for a walk." Ramona looked at Tyler and said to him.

Tyler was about to go out and take a breather anyway—he was really mad at Susan.

After they left the house, Ramona got in the car and signaled for Tyler to drive.

"Where are we going?" Tyler asked.

"Fairview Villa," Ramona said softly. She was in a gloomy mood.

Tyler glanced at Ramona who was next to him. He knew that she would visit Fairview Villa every once in a while.

Every time she went there, she would be in a bad mood, and he would not know why.

Tyler drove without saying a word.

He wanted to tell Ramona that the necklace was meant to be bought for her, but now it was worn by his mother-in-law.

However, would Ramona believe him?

It would only worsen Ramona's impression of him.

Twenty minutes later at Fairview Villa in the western suburbs of Northbrook City...

This was an unbuilt villa area that had been unfinished for four or five years.

Standing in front of Fairview Villa, Ramona was speechless for a long time and fell into deep thought.

Tyler stood beside her, silently accompanying her as he did before.

"Do you know why I visit here often?" Ramona turned to look at Tyler and asked.

Tyler shook his head.

"This unfinished project was developed by my father four years ago," Ramona said.

Tyler was very surprised. He joined the Leighton family three years ago, and Ramona's father died soon after.

At that time, he thought that the Leighton family was just a working-class family, but he did not expect that his father-in-law was a developer.

"Why was the project not completed?" Tyler asked.

"At the time, when the city was trying to attract investments, a big boss from the south planned to invest 1 billion bucks in the western suburbs to build the country's largest water park."

"If this water park is built, the business of the surrounding area will be booming, and it’ll also prosper the western suburbs. So, my father decided to develop real estate here.

But not long after, the big boss was arrested due to illegal fundraising, and the water park project was also canceled. Even if my father’s Fairview Villa was built, we definitely wouldn’t be able to sell it. So, it ended up left unfinished..."

At that point, Ramona's eyes were filled with tears.

When he saw that she was sad, Tyler's heart filled with pity and he could not help but gently held her hand.

Unexpectedly, Ramona did not break free this time, but turned around and looked at the sky.

"This failed investment made my father go bankrupt until he died from depression." Ramona was already in tears as she spoke.

Tyler helped her wipe the tears from her face and comforted her. "It's in the past. Don't think about it anymore."

"How could I not think about it? My father had been obsessed with building the Fairview Villa until his death, but I’m unable to help him fulfill his last wish..."

Ramona's body was trembling slightly. "I now work for only 6,000 bucks a month, and I have to support our family. Even if I don't eat or drink, I’ll never save enough money to help my father fulfill his last wish. Tyler, do you know how sad this makes me?"

“...”

Tyler stood in front of Ramona, speechless.

Within a few days of marrying Ramona, his leg went limp and he could not find a suitable job.

For more than three years, the family had been supported by Ramona alone. She was only in her early twenties, but she had to choose to be strong...

She had never been as vulnerable as she was then.

Maybe, that day was the day she finally cracked under pressure.

When he thought of this, Tyler really felt sorry for Ramona.

In the past, he was a useless bum that could not share this burden with her.

From now on, he swore he would make her smile happily every day.

"Ramona, I’ll help you fulfill your father’s last wish." Tyler clasped Ramona's hand and said calmly.

"Really?" A gleam of hope flashed in Ramona's tearful eyes.

"Really."

"I’m already very touched that you have the thought." Ramona smiled bitterly.

When she thought of the actual situation with Tyler, she felt that Tyler's bold words were nothing but fantasy.

Tyler knew very well in his heart that Ramona would not believe it.

Then he would prove himself!

Tyler stayed with Ramona for a while, then drove her home.

It was already evening so he did not greet anyone and left the house alone.

He drove to a small secluded teahouse and walked in.

After requesting for a private room, Tyler called Percy and asked him to meet in this teahouse.

Percy drove over alone and arrived within ten minutes, which was incredibly fast.

How could he not be fast? The young master took the initiative to reach out to him, which was flattering.

"Young Master, I really didn't expect you to ask me out for tea."

After Percy walked into the private room, he was full of joy and greeted Tyler.

"Sit down," Tyler said plainly.

Percy glanced at Tyler secretly and admired him.

He was indeed the Young Master of the Zand family. As he was sitting upright over there, his look and the noble temperament that exuded from his being was not something normal people could have...

Percy's observation was correct.

Although Tyler had left the Zand's family for ten years, the aura of the rich was deeply ingrained in him.

The well-rounded Percy could not help but feel a lot of pressure when he was in front of Tyler.

"Young Master, what do you want me to do, please tell me."

Percy dared not drink tea and asked Tyler respectfully.

"I heard that four years ago, there was a plan to build a water park in the western suburbs of the city, right?" Tyler asked.

"That’s right, but then there was no news on this project later on," Percy said after some thought.

"I’m going to invest and build this water park." Tyler took a sip of tea and looked at Percy.

He was shocked.

In fact, he had this idea a long time ago. From his point of view, as long as this water park was built, it was very much profitable!

However, a huge investment of one billion was not for him to decide.

Now that Tyler had this idea, Percy was very excited.

"Young Master, I think it's feasible!"

"You don't have to be polite to me. Be honest with the prospect of this project."

"I’m not being polite, this project is absolutely feasible! If the master knows that the young master has such vision and courage, he would be very happy..." Percy said excitedly.

"Don't talk nonsense, can you help me with this? The investment is around 1 billion."

Tyler looked directly at Percy.

"The master had already said that Universal International is entirely in the hands of the young master, you can use the funds as you like."

"Do we have one billion to spare?" Tyler asked, he really did not know how powerful Universal International was.

"Haha, Young Master, with the current financial resources of Universe International, anything less than 10 billion is not a problem." Percy Milton smiled.

When Tyler heard that, he felt completely relieved.

He could be a wealthy young master for his entire life. Since he had nothing on his hands, he could use the resources to make money for fun.

Of course, the main purpose was to prosper the western suburbs and revitalize Fairview Villa.

He could make money and help Ramona at the same time, so, why not?

"You can make the arrangements tomorrow. I want the largest water park in the country," Tyler said, got up, and left the teahouse.
