Chapter 251:
“Absolutely,” Marco replied with certainty.
“Ms. Harper made it perfectly clear. Her company supplies the materials, and her team inspects the construction.
Once the inspection passes, we receive payment as agreed.”
Alexander squinted, his suspicion growing.
“Doesn't that just make you all her employees?”
“In a sense, yes. Ms. Harper mentioned that the industry was once full of fierce competition. Companies would
lowball their bids just to secure contracts, leaving little room for profit. As a result, contractors had no choice but
to cut corners on materials to make ends meet, which led to subpar construction. By supplying the materials
herself, she guarantees quality, while we take care of the work. Once the project meets her expectations, we
receive the agreed-upon profit. No one loses, and she gets the quality she demands. It’s a win for everyone.”

“Now that’s how you make real money. Her vision and bravery—I can’t help but admire her!”
Raul nodded eagerly.
“Exactly! | even brought sgifts from my hometown today. I'm hoping to thank Ms. Harper in person and ask
for more opportunities. Working for a boss like her, it’s truly a pleasure.”
Richard's eyes darted towards the group of contractors, and it was only then that he noticed the bags they were
carrying. The items weren't costly, nor were they extravagant—just simple, local treasures—but they were
meaningful and cfrom the heart.
Richard looked at Alexander and felt a twinge of regret for arriving without a gift. He quickly reassured himself.
The others had brought gifts, but he had brought Alexander. Surely a living, breathing person like him was worth
more than any small tokens.

By the tDaniela arrived, Alexander and Richard had been shuffled into a corner by the eager crowd of
contractors. The crowd surged forward, eager to present their gifts to Daniela.
Richard, shoved and jostled by the crowd, turned to Alexander and muttered, “Is Daniela really this influential?”
Alexander stood frozen. While he had been focused on Joyce's pregnancy, Daniela had silently built her
reputation and earned the admiration of so many.
In contrast to these contractors, hardened by years of grueling labor, Alexander and Richard—accustomed to the
comfort of office work—felt completely out of place. Eventually, when the meeting started, Alexander and
Richard had been relegated to the back of the room, sitting on tiny stools in a distant corner.
Richard sat there with a scowl on his face, but despite his frustration, he couldn't bring himself to leave. Pulling
Alexander along with him, he stayed glued to his tiny stool, his face contorted in frustration.
Alexander, on the other hand, sat in silence. His eyes remained fixed on Daniela, who stood confidently at the
front of the room. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming sense of distance between them. She had risen to a
level he could only dream of reaching.
The realization ate at him, leaving a suffocating weight in his chest.

heard, | recently acquired a large plot of land in Kaloria to build an airport.”
The room went dead silent in an instant. Richard’s and Alexander's eyes widened in disbelief, their shock clearly
visible on their faces. Richard, convinced he had misunderstood, turned to Alexander, his finger trembling as he
pointed to the stage.
“What did she just say she’s building?”
