Never See You Again

Maeve put on a helpless and bitter smile.

In her present life, she wouldn't 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

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 Maeve's 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, "You managed to get funding of hundreds of billions of dollars in just two weeks. Ms. Scott, you've made quite an amazing move.

Zion said,

"You h

I have a surplus of funds, so you can definitely invest in other businesses before the project

Nodding, Maeve said, "I know. That's why I sneaked out some funds beforehand and made a small investment

*A small investment?" Zion raised an eyebrow. "You withdrew several hundred million dollars. It doesn't look like a small investment to me."

Maeve didn't 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 Zion's care. Zion knew the accounts very well, so she couldn't hide it from him at all.

"What? An investment worth several hundred million dollars?"

Lyra almost choked on her beer. "What sort of investment costs several hundred million dollars?"

This wasn't a small investment at all.

Maeve said, "I've bought out several projects under the Scott family.

"What? You bought the projects under your own family?"

Charlie was stunned. "Do you have to go that far? You're the young lady of the Scott family, so you have to pay to get your own family's projects?"

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 follow-ups.

Charlie said, "These are all common projects. Some of them neither make nor lose money, and some of them are definite losses. Why did you buy them?"

"I've bought all these at a low price. They have potential for growth in the future."

"What potential can they possibly have?"

Maeve wouldn't 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, 'Of course, I can't possibly buy these projects as Maeve Scott I bought these under another identity, so no one would suspect anything."

Charlie asked, "How long do you think you'll earn back your money's worth with these projects?"

"Two years.

"Just two years?"

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 Maeve's calm and composed attitude. He just put on a faint smile.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Maeve. Instead, he was confident in his ability to shoulder all the consequences no matter what decisions Maeve made. So, he didn't 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,
