Chapter144.

His words struck me, a sharp pang of sympathy twisting inside me, as if something vital had been torn away.

He had raised me, after all. Though no blood relation, we had shared fifteen years under the same roof.

I clenched my phone until my knuckles whitened, my fingers trembling slightly as I typed a message to Tyrell, the frustration barely contained.

Tyrell, please help me secure the Development Project in Mississippi. Thank you.”

Then, I composed a message to Allen.

How much is needed to acquire the Leslie Group, including the full penalty?”

Allen’s reply arrived swiftly, stark and cold,”1 billion. The penalty alone was 500 million dollars; the remaining 500 million dollars is for Leland. Our available funds was mere 200 million dollars.”

My breath hitched. The numbers were staggering. I had barely scraped together 20 million-selling the painting Leland had given me, emptying every personal account, including the money Denise had entrusted to me. It was a fraction of what was needed.

But where could I possibly find the remaining 800 million dollars?

Then, Tyrell’s reply came through, “Don’t concern yourself with the funds. A mutual associate has offered to lend me 1.5 billion dollars. Furthermore, for the acquisition of the Leslie Group itself, he assures me he can mobilize an additional 2 billion at my disposal.”

I stared at the message, stunned. Who exactly was Tyrell?

And what of his associate’s reliability?

But at this critical juncture, there was no room for hesitation.

“Go for it.” The moment the words were sent, I saw Tyrell and Allen downstairs visibly relax, a collective sigh of relief rippling through them.

Leland surveyed the crowd, his expression hardening as they meticulously pored over the business plan and noted the substantial client compensation claims looming over the Leslie Group.
