His Lordship Alexander Kane by Useless Caesar

Chapter 0023

At Chesire Mansion.

“Sir Chesire!” a voice filled with immense joy echoed from outside. Ben, the majordomo who had been by Donovan’s side for over 40 years, hurriedly entered the living room. His face beamed with unrestrained delight as he handed his phone to Donovan, his voice trembling with excitement.

“Look, Sir Chesire-you simply must! The Severn Group’s development project has expanded again, and they’re investing a total of 4.5 billion dollars! That’s the Chesire family’s contract, and we can make at least 1.5 billion dollars! We finally have hope to be among the top-tier families in Ol’ Mare!”

The shocked Donovan slowly rose from the sofa. He stared intently at Ben’s phone and read the Ol’ Mare Business Report. His breathing quickened, and his face flushed with excitement.

This was a momentous occasion, a grand celebration!

“T-The contract…” Donovan stuttered. Then, he suddenly turned to Ben with a frown and said, “Something’s not right. How could I not know about such a major development? Who’s in charge of this project? Isn’t this Zoe’s department? Why didn’t she inform me? What is happening?”

Miss Zoe wanted to surprise you? She might’ve signed the contract first and planned to inform you afterward. Should I call her and ask
