Chapter 235
“Your family owns it p>
Mira was genuinely surprised.
Corporate offices were usually leased, and Kieran had handled the paperwork for Solflare Entertainment’s headquarters. She had skimmed the contract, only checking to ensure it wasn’t owned by the Mercer or Porter families. With everything on her plate, the landlord’s identity had slipped her mind.
“So, if EcoRide refuses to sell you equity, are you going to evict them p>
“I wouldn’t go that far. Just hoping we could leverage the connection to buy a small stake p>
Mira remembered she was actively looking to acquire real estate.
Leasing office space while rejecting the landlord’s investment offers could sour the relationship, even if it didn’t end in an eviction.
Besides, practically every premium commercial high-rise in Melvion City was owned by one of the old-money families.
“If the Rivers family is willing to sell the entire building, EcoRide might reconsider offering you equity,” Mira countered.
Harvey had brought up the building to force an investment deal. He hadn’t expected her to casually propose buying the whole damn skyscraper.
“Buy the building? You’re out of your mind p>
“Otherwise, EcoRide’s door is closed to investors.
Plus, your family owns plenty of commercial real estate. Selling one building won’t hurt. Go home, pitch it to your board, and buy the equity. You won’t regret the ROI p>
To her shock, Harvey grinned. “If you agree to be my fiancée, I’ll gift you the building as your dowry p>
“Harvey Rivers!
Bring that up one more time, and we’re not even friends p>
She despised messy entanglements and had zero interest in leading anyone on.
While Harvey stood there momentarily stunned, Mira turned on her heel and walked away.
A short distance away, a pair of venomous eyes tracked their every move.
Though Fiona had strictly warned Mara to keep her head down and focus on her studies, Mara’s suffocating jealousy was entirely beyond her control. fo
Seeing Mira casually bantering with Harvey convinced Mara that Mira

For the remainder of the day, Mira poured her absolute focus into her coursework.
The current curriculum was a relentless barrage of comprehensive reviews and tactical test-taking.
Acing the exams required flawless mastery of every conceptual nuance.

Between classes, Mira glanced at her phone and found an anonymous text: *Stay away from Harvey Rivers. He’s bad news p>
Signed: *Wesley*. He was obviously using someone else’s phone to text her.
A mocking sneer touched Mira’s lips as she instantly deleted the message.
The study sessions flew by. After the final bell, the usual group walked out together.
“Elara, why are you clinging to Mira like a koala p>
Liora Bennett asked, noticing Elara’s death grip on Mira’s arm.
“You look terrified p>
“She had a bad scare yesterday,” Mira covered smoothly. “Still a bit rattled.” “Scared? By what p>
“A stray dog lunged at me p>
Mira was still formulating an excuse, but Elara answered quickly, saving her the trouble.
“A dog? Like a huge German Shepherd? What kind of jerk lets a vicious dog off its leash p>
As they approached the main gates, Elara shrank even further behind Mira, her terror palpable.
“It’s okay, you’re safe here. No dogs around p>
