Chapter 97 Maeve put on a helpless and bitter smile.
In her present life, she wouldnât be so naive that she would wait until Sergio had squeezed the Scotts completely dry before getting away. She would make the first move to put him at a disadvantage instead c.
The sanitation workers in Seathburn City had acted quickly. The cleaning process for the sewage area Maeve bought was underway, and it would be as good as new in a few months. To save time, Maeve also started working on the rest of the tasks.
Because of the official documents from before, many entrepreneurs began investing in Maeveâs project. Maeve not only had enough funds, but she even had more funds than necessary.
In the evening, Maeve hosted a small dinner at home. Charlie placed a folder he was holding onto the table, clicking his tongue as he said, âYou managed to get funding of hundreds of billions of dollars in just two weeks. Ms. Scott, youâve made quite an amazing move.
Zion said, âYou h is completed I have a surplus of funds, so you can definitely invest in other businesses before the project Nodding, Maeve said, âI know. Thatâs why I sneaked out some funds beforehand and made a small investment *A small investment?â Zion raised an eyebrow. âYou withdrew several hundred million dollars. It doesnât look like a small investment to me.â
Maeve didnât expect Zion to find out about her withdrawing the several hundred million dollars so soon.
Still, she never intended to hide it from Zion. After all, she was busy combating Sergio these days, so she had left lots of tasks under Zionâs care. Zion knew the accounts very well, so she couldnât hide it from him at all.
âWhat? An investment worth several hundred million dollars?â
Lyra almost choked on her beer. âWhat sort of investment costs several hundred million dollars?â
This wasnât a small investment at all.
Maeve said, âIâve bought out several projects under the Scott family.
âWhat? You bought the projects under your own family?â
Charlie was stunned. âDo you have to go that far? Youâre the young lady of the Scott family, so you have to pay to get your own familyâs projects?â
would Maeve placed the documents of the projects she had bought on the table. All of them were unremarkable real estate projects along with some investment followâups.
Charlie said, âThese are all common projects. Some of them neither make nor lose money, and some of them are definite losses.
Why did you buy them?â
âIâve bought all these at a low price. They have potential for growth in the future.â
âWhat potential can they possibly have?â
Maeve wouldnât count on Charlie to believe the notion that the projects had potential. But she clearly remembered that in her previous life, when she and Sergio were still married, he had already set his gaze on these projects.
Also, Sergio had purchased the projects at an extremely low price. The low stocks skyrocketed several years later, and the originally unremarkable real estate projects turned into houses that were highly sought after because of a newly built prestigious high school in the area. It made a lot of money.
Maeve said, âOf course, I canât possibly buy these projects as Maeve Scott I bought these under another identity, so no one would suspect anything.â
Charlie asked, âHow long do you think youâll earn back your moneyâs worth with these projects?â
âTwo years.
âJust two years?â
Charlie looked at Maeve in suspicion.
Ever since Maeve bought that piece of land the first time around, Charlie had doubts about her insight.
Later on, when the piece of land skyrocketed in value, Charlie felt that Maeve just had a stroke of luck.
Zion looked at Maeveâs calm and composed attitude. He just put on a faint smile.
It wasnât that he didnât trust Maeve. Instead, he was confident in his ability to shoulder all the consequences no matter what decisions Maeve made. So, he didnât care whether these investments would benefit them or not.
As long as Maeve was happy, nothing else would matter.
After the meal, Lyra went back to her company to deal with an urgent matter. Hence, Charlie and Zion went home as well,
