Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 512

"Understood. I'll send an official notice to his compliance officer immediately, demanding he appear in person within a specified timeframe, or the fund transfers will be frozen.

Additionally, I can reach out to an old classmate at the consulate in The United States to stall things a bit. We'll make sure he's stuck there for at least a week."

"Be mindful of the optics. Don't leave any paper trails that could be used against us."

"Don't worry, it's a standard compliance procedure. No one can find a single flaw in it."

Xavier hung up and dialed a second number.

This conversation was much shorter. The person on the other end was a former subordinate he had mentored years ago, now serving as the deputy director of a review committee under The Department of Science and Technology.

"Leo, regarding the funding for The Prescott Group's Med-Tech Robotics Initiative... I know the funds have been approved, but let's tighten up the schedule for the midterm review.

Yes, schedule the first on-site midterm evaluation for the immediate future. Mandate that the project director must be present for the entire process. No exceptions."

Xavier put away his phone, walking out of the stairwell with his usual composed, authoritative demeanor fully restored.

He pushed open the door to the ward and saw Penelope staring at him with eyes full of desperate anticipation, like a sinking ship spotting a lighthouse through a storm.

"Penny, Daddy has everything arranged," Xavier sat down by the bed, his tone flat but absolute.

"Quentin will receive notice shortly that he has to personally fly to The United States to handle his banking compliance.

Meanwhile, the robotics project Madeline is running is facing an imminent midterm government review.

As the project director, she will be forced to stay in the country the entire time. She won't be able to go anywhere."

Penelope's eyes widened, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled upward.

The smile grew from a subtle twitch into a massive grin, finally blooming into a grotesquely bright expression against her pale face.

"So... he has to go to the US, and Madeline can't follow him? They're going to be separated?"
