Chapter 609 The Quints Are Granted 2 Billion 

Sitting across from Darcy was a bespectacled middle–aged man. 

His refined air spoke volumes about his education and upbringing. 

His name was Federick Yale, a faculty member at the University of South River. He was a doctoral supervisor. 

Federick was invited to the reviewing panel as the director and chief. 

He had the biggest say of them all. 

“Why, Ms. Quint? Are you questioning my professionalism?” Federick said curtly with a long face. 

Darcy apologized right away, “I’m sorry for my outburst. You are a highly respected figure in our community, Mr. Yale. I shouldn’t have doubted you.” 

“It’s good that you see things my way.” 

Federick softened his facial muscles. 

He adjusted his glasses and added, “We reviewed all business proposals without prejudice. If there isn’t a problem, please leave now.” 

“Thank you, Mr. Yale.” 

Darcy turned away in disappointment. 

“Hang on.” Federick’s voice came from behind. 

Once Darcy turned around to face him, Federick said indifferently without looking up, “The evaluation is not set in stone. I will get your proposal reviewed once more and might get in touch. Just leave your number.”

“Thank you, Mr. Yale.” 

Darcy was happy to leave her number with him. 

All that mattered was that her company was still in the running. 

She got out of the office building to find the Quints waiting at the reception. 

The family was there to apply for the support fund too. 

Logan did not look too happy to see Darcy. 

“I can’t believe your company did not even pass the preliminary review, Darcy. It

goes to show what you are made of. It’s time for you to step down as the chairman,” Deborah said gloatingly. 

They knew the result of Quartet Group’s evaluation beforehand. 

Darcy scoffed. “I wouldn’t celebrate so soon if I were you, Deborah. The head of the reviewing panel is Mr. Yale of the University of South River. He’s strict and thorough with his job, so your proposal might not make the cut.” 

She did not harbor ill intentions or wish ill of Quintessential Group. 

The facts were laid right in front of them–all that was left of Quintessential was an empty shell. 

Besides, the Quints were not well–known for their business prowess. She was doubtful they could produce an impressive proposal. 

“Oh, really? We shall see about that,” Deborah snorted. 

The group walked into the office building. 

Unlike the Quints, Darcy had no intentions of staying and gloating over the misery of others. 

She was about to leave when she ran into friends in the business who had applied for the government grant too. She stayed and chatted with them. 

The Quints took the elevator down to the reception with glee. 

“Are you here to make fun of us, Darcy? Well, that’s just mean of you, but you’re in for some disappointment.” 

Deborah laughed. “We were granted two billion dollars.” 

“What? Quintessential Group acquired two billion dollars in grant?” 

Darcy was surprised. 

The representatives of other companies were envious and shocked. 

“Quintessential Group is nothing but an empty shell, but they managed to get their hands on two billion dollars. Is there any justice in the world?” 

“Yeah. We didn’t even make it past the preliminary review.” 

The people whined, finding things unfair.
