Mr. Remus Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce

Chapter 382

“The developer in North City ran off with the money. The workers who haven’t been paid are preparing to sue Remus Corporation.”

Neil’s expression turned cold, and he said, “Find him and bring him back here!”

The development of North City’s land was a collaboration between their company and the developer. Since he had disappeared, the workers blamed Remus Corporation for their unpaid wages.

“What about the workers who want their wages?”

“Send someone to renegotiate their contracts with them. Settle any outstanding payments. and ask them to continue with construction.”

Curtis nodded. “Alright. I’ll handle it right away.

With this matter settled, Neil picked up the contract to read it.

Shortly after, his phone lit up.

It was a message from Ada. He opened it indifferently, but a faint smile appeared on his face. once he read it.

An hour later, Ada seated across from him. Her eyes were red, and she looked worn out.

Neil wore a cold expression and said, “Have you thought this through? Are you sure you want to use your second wish?”

Her eyes were filled with tears and sorrow. “Isn’t this what you want? You’ve pushed me to this point, and you know that I have no other choice!”

Neil remained calm and cold. “Alright. In that case, I won’t take back that one–billion–dollar investment and take any action against Perficient anymore.”

Ada subconsciously clenched her fists. She could tell that he would no longer show her leniency, so she stood up and left without another word.

Back at the top floor of Perficient, Ruby approached her anxiously. “Miss Pond, where have you been? The shareholders are in the conference room, and things are getting quite chaotic!”

Ada nodded. “I understand, I’ll handle it. Get back to work”

When she opened the door to the conference room, everyone fixed their eyes on her. The room fell silent for a moment before the shareholders began to complain in a sarcastic tone.

“Miss Pond, I’d like to know what happened to the fifty million that’s part of Remus. Corporation’s investment. Did you keep it for yourself?!”

“Haha. Do we even need to ask? She must have misappropriated it. How else did it go missing?”

“Remus Corporation wants Perficient to return the one billion dollars it invested. We haven’t received any money so far, so don’t expect us to help you cover the missing funds. Figure it out yourself. If you can’t, be prepared to spend a few years behind bars. Don’t worry. White- collar crimes usually don’t lead to long sentences.”

Ada sat at the head of the table with an impassive face. She glared at them all and said, “So, you’re saying the one billion dollars has nothing to do with you? Whether there’s a loss or a gain, it’s none of your concern?”

As she spoke, the shareholders displayed various expressions.

When there was money to be made, everyone wanted a share. However, the shareholders naturally wanted to stay away from the current financial mess.

After a moment of silence, one of them said, “Miss Pond, don’t try to trick us. Now that Remus Corporation wants its one billion dollars back, how are we going to do business? Are you suggesting that we pitch in to cover that fifty million? We’re not that stupid!” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Seeing the other shareholders agreeing, Ada smiled and said, “So, anything related to the one billion dollars has nothing to do with you, right?”

Under her persistent questioning, everyone said yes.

In the end, Ada chuckled. “Alright. I’ll figure out how to cover that fifty million. You can all leave.”

A skeptical shareholder looked at her. “Miss Pond, can you really come up with fifty million. dollars?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. Just get back to

work.”

Since she was being dismissive, no one pressed further. As long as they were not required to pay, they were satisfied.

After the shareholders left, Ada instructed Ruby to summon the PR Department for a meeting.

She then allocated twenty million dollars for them to handle the scandal online.

“I don’t want to see anything about Perficient and MY Corporation trending in three days. Do whatever it takes.”

The PR manager nodded. “I understand.”

Once Ada took care of that, she returned to her office. Before long, she received a notification that 950 million had been credited to her private bank account.
