How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 521

There were no other options left for her.

She sold a small portion of her personal shares—just enough to get by. The agreement allowed her a chance to buy them back later, but all the paperwork took time, and the funds would take about a week to clear. She managed to scrape together twenty million herself, so she pulled forward part of her upcoming bonus payout, added it to the pot, and handed what she could to Faust. As for the rest, Faust was only willing to give her a three-day grace period.

Once the proceeds from her share sale finally arrived, she immediately covered the remaining balance, settling up with Faust in full.

As long as the money was replaced quickly and there was no major impact on the company, there wouldn’t be a problem.

Besides, the company’s finance team had already confirmed that the funds in question were her bonus—scheduled to be paid to her in just a week anyway. In essence, it was a temporary use of funds, nothing more.

She knew that even if this came to light, as long as the internal board agreed, there would be no real trouble. She would remain President Fielding of Neural Intelligence.

Especially considering the board consisted of only herself, her mother, and Jarrod.

As long as the three of them were in agreement, there was nothing to worry about.

Otherwise, she would never have taken such a risk.

She simply knew how to handle things with finesse, so—

There would be no problem.

Back at VistaLink Technologies, both Elodie and Alexander were still reeling from the news.

“She tapped her bonus payout… it must have been to cover the penalty fee,” Elodie realized quickly, but frowned in confusion. “I always thought Jarrod would step in and pay for her.”

That’s what she’d always assumed.

But this changed things.

Right now, the only reason Sylvie would be desperate for cash was because of that penalty.

Alexander couldn’t help but marvel, “She’s got some guts. Truth is, Jarrod’s always given her a safety net. And she is smart—if she really did cover the shortfall that fast…”

They could easily resolve it internally and skip any punishment.
