"Mom, the area where the old residence is located will be developed soon. It'll be worth a lot of money in the future!"
In truth, Jacob was not interested in that meager sum of money. He simply did not want Bradford and his family to benefit from it.
"What? It's going to be developed? Are you sure?"
Excitement instantly surged within Hannah as soon as she heard that piece of news. If that's true, we'll be able to earn quite a sum after selling the house! "Of course I am! It's already in the planning stage right now! I've seen the report at Mr. Ludlow's house!" Jacob answered truthfully.
"What are you talking about, Jacob? Are you hinting that I'm trying to snatch the land from you? You said you saw the report at Mr. Ludlow's house? What a big liar! Why don't you say you've had a meal at his house then?" A look of anger took over Bradford's face as he bellowed at his nephew.
"I did have a meal at Mr. Ludlow's house before!" Jacob nodded in affirmation.
