Kaia was left speechless.
She didn’t buy it.

Kaia said, “Really? If a man has a cold constitution, it may lead to some dysfunction over time, Mr. Moreno. You should get treatment as soon as possible.”
Tobias leaned closer, his tone bewitching. “Well, you’ll have to verify it yourself.”
The cool evening breeze caressed Kaia’s face, but her cheeks felt slightly flushed.
“You should go to the hospital,” said Tobias.
Tobias said, “Didn’t you say you know some medical skills? Come on, help me take a look
now.”
As he spoke, Tobias grasped Kaia’s hand and extended it towards himself.
Kaia panicked, a rare occurrence, and quickly pulled her hand back.
“What are you doing?” Kaia asked.
Tobias smiled. “Why are you so nervous? I’m just holding your hand. What did you think it was?”
Kaia pursed her lips. She knew he was doing it on purpose.
Kaia said, “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have brought you to the beach alone.”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
With quick reflexes, Tobias grabbed Kaia’s hand and pulled her back after she had taken a few steps forward.
Caught off guard, Kaia bumped into his broad chest.
She paused for two seconds, then stepped back.
Just as she was about to lose her temper, Tobias released her hand.
“Sorry, I went a little too far with the joke.” Tobias sincerely apologized.
“Can it be resolved with just an apology?” Kaia said angrily.
“Then what do you want? To hit or scold me? You can do whatever you want tonight.”

Kaia was speechless.
She said, “Let’s go back.”
“Going back so soon? Don’t you want to enjoy the scenery of the sea?” Tobias said.
“I’m not interested,” said Kaia.

The next day, Tobias went to K&B.
Conrad had someone serve good coffee. “Mr. Moreno, I wonder what brings you here personally?”
“I’ll be frank. I want the development rights to Pioneer Retreat. You can name your price.” Tobias took out a blank check.
“Name my price? Even if it far exceeds the profits of Pioneer Retreat?” Conrad asked.
“Fill it in,” said Conrad.
Sensing that Tobias didn’t seem to be joking, Conrad said, “I’m curious. Pioneer Retreat is indeed a lucrative piece of land, but many of the properties under your name can rival the future profits of Pioneer Retreat.
‘It seems you’re particularly interested in Pioneer Retreat.”
To be honest, it’s for my future wife.” Tobias looked directly at Conrad and said calmly.
Conrad choked on the coffee he had just taken a sip of.
Are you talking about Kaia?” asked Conrad.
Tobias said, “That’s right, it’s her. She is looking for a house and she is very interested in Pioneer Retreat. I also promised to give her the villa king.”
Conrad’s mouth was wide open, and for a long moment, he didn’t know what to say.
‘Didn’t you tell Kaia before you came?” Conrad asked.
Tobias said, “I want to give her a surprise, so I kindly ask you to do me a favor and transfer the development rights of Pioneer Retreat to me. I will be sure to express my gratitude generously.
“Additionally, if TANG.F ever needs my assistance, I will do everything in my power to help.”

“Well…” Conrad rubbed his aching temples. “The Moreno Group is willing to establish
relations with K&B.
“Personally, I don’t mind giving up the development rights to Pioneer Retreat. But… You know I’m only the CEO; as for the chairman…”
Tobias understood and said, “Please arrange a meeting between me and the chairman of your
K&B.”
Conrad was troubled. He stood up and took out his phone.
He said, “Wait for me, I’ll go out and make a call.”
After Conrad left the VIP reception room, he immediately called Kaia.
“Hello? What’s up?” Kaia had just gotten up.
“Miss Bennett! My head really hurts right now,” said Conrad.
Kaia said, “Then go get some sleep. I have things to do and can’t take over your work.”
As soon as Conrad heard this, he knew Kaia was in a hurry to hang up, so he quickly shouted, “Your fiancé wants the development rights to Pioneer Retreat.”
Kaia immediately stopped her movement to hang up. “What did you say?”
“Tobias, he’s here with me now, visiting in person, and gave me a blank check for me to fill in any amount. He just wants the development rights to Pioneer Retreat, and he also said…”
Speaking of which, Conrad’s tone became gossipy. “He also said that he promised his fiancée that he would give her the villa king of Pioneer Retreat. What a rare and affectionate man.”
Kaia smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling envious, jealous, or just lonely and empty? Thinking about finding a wife? I can help you–plump one or slender one, take your pick.”
“No, no, no, I was wrong.” Conrad was shocked, regretted that he made jokes with Kaia.
Conrad said, “Let’s get down to business. What are you going to do about Tobias?”
“It’s simple. Just tell him that your chairman has decided to let me stay in Villa No. 8 for the time being,” said Kaia.

Tobias looked at Conrad in surprise. “You said your company’s chairman gave the villa king

to Kaia?”
“Not give her. He just let her stay there.” Conrad emphasized.
Tobias thought of the dress that K&B’s chairman had given to Kaia at the last party.

“Mr. Dorsey, I’m curious, what is the relationship between Kaia and your company’s chairman?” asked Tobias.
“Well… I’m sorry, this is a private matter between Miss Bennett and the chairman. I’m not at liberty to disclose it.”
Tobias’s expression grew increasingly tense, his eyes clouded with unreadable darkness.
“Mr. Dorsey, since you don’t want to say, I won’t force it. But is there something else you can tell me?” said Tobias.
Conrad said, “Tell me about it.”
“Is your company’s chairman a man or a woman?” Tobias asked.
Conrad wanted to laugh. He could tell that Tobias was jealous.
“A woman. Rest assured,” said Conrad.
Tobias looked at Conrad, who was trying to hold back his laughter, and asked again, “Then what’s your relationship with Miss Bennett?”
‘Anyway, it’s not the kind of relationship you think it is,” Conrad quickly explained.
‘Really?” Tobias asked.
‘Miss Bennett is not someone I can get close to, and I can’t handle her. To be honest, I haven’t met anyone in this world who can compare to Miss Bennett.
‘Of course, that was before you came along, Mr. Moreno. To be honest, I think if you work hard, there’s still hope.”
Tobias raised the cup in his hand, “Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Dorsey. I’ll offer you a toast with coffee in place of wine.”
“You’re welcome.” After Conrad took a sip of coffee, he slammed the table in anger.
“That Gideon almost killed Miss Bennett. I must avenge this! Mr. Moreno, if you don’t mind, let’s join forces and punish this black–hearted Gideon,” Conrad said.

Gideon looked at the subordinate who had returned to report and asked, “I asked you to look into Gale. Any progress?”
The subordinate replied nervously, “Boss, our men followed Gale’s car all night and saw the person who got out of the car with Mr. Moreno. It’s… it’s…”
“Who is it? Tell me!” Gideon said urgently.
