Sophia used to be one of the most renowned obstetrician-gynecologist in New York, retiring with a stellar reputation and numerous connections, thanks to her medical skills and advantageous position.
Lucas was well aware of this, having reaped its benefits himself, but he hadn't realized that his mother could even befriend high official Mr Leo Jones.
He actually had a favor to ask of this high official in charge of urban development: the prime piece of land in the center of the city.
Many companies were eyeing it covetously, and the competition was fierce.
Lucas pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement with his mother's approach.
