The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2733

"We did, and we've followed all proper legal procedures to obtain the property rights. This is the information about the person who filed the case against us, and we're still in the process of looking into him," replied the manager.

Sherman nodded slightly. "In other words, there's no issue on our side. Why are you so worried, then?"

The manager stopped walking, prompting Sherman to do the same. He turned to look at him with an eyebrow raised.

"The man looks like he's a homeless person. He's caused quite a stir. Several media outlets have reached out to him. I fear it might have a negative impact on our company, so I thought I should report it to you," explained the manager with a frown.

Sherman nodded, signaling for the manager to continue walking. "Your concern is valid. However, such incidents between developers and residents are quite common. Many residents are dissatisfied with the initial prices offered by developers. Especially when they learn that the area they sold might be developed into a large commercial district, they feel they've been shortchanged. That's why they cause a scene. I can only say that there's no end to a human's greed.

"So, not all issues require our attention. Understand? Even if he causes a stir and attracts the media, it's a matter between the developer and them. All our procedures are legitimate and flawless. We just need to focus on that."

The manager nodded. "Yes, Mister Sherman."

However, no one anticipated that just one man could escalate the situation to such an extent overnight. All media outlets were eagerly reporting on the incident, and Rita found herself unexpectedly thrust into the forefront.

Rita continued to jot down whatever information she could get. She was surprised to learn that this area belonged to the Parr Group. Ever since she had met Sherman, it seemed like everywhere she went, she would inevitably end up in situations related to him.

She took a look around the land earmarked for development. It was no wonder they planned to develop a large commercial district here. The empty land was surrounded by residential areas, and the environment was quite pleasant, which would surely be able to attract middle-income families.

Parr Group would undoubtedly reap significant profits if they could build a commercial district there. It would also be a testament to Sherman and Parr Group's skill and influence if they could secure the land. After all, many other established real estate companies were also vying for the same piece of land.

'Sherman hasn't even begun developing this area, and he's already encountering such a big problem…. I wonder how this whole thing will affect his company,' thought Rita. 'But that homeless man looks really pitiful, too. All the houses on this land had long been demolished, which meant the former residents here must've all received their compensation. So why would this man come crying and say that a piece of this land used to belong to his family?'
