Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 519

She hadn't been researching those precautions for Penelope—she was reading them for herself and her babies.

Kept awake by the thunder, she had scrolled through the first-trimester dietary restrictions one by one.

She had screenshotted the prohibited foods and made checklists for essential nutrients.

She was determined to do everything in her power to protect her children.

Xavier York finally greenlit the project, but Quentin received an unexpected official notice.

It was a formal mandate forwarded by his domestic banking partners.

The document stated that due to international banking regulations in the United States, Quentin needed to personally visit his California branch to verify his identity and authorize the transfer of his overseas assets back home.

Failure to complete the in-person verification within the deadline would result in frozen accounts, stalling the entire corporate transition.

Quentin read the notice from top to bottom, set it on his desk, and leaned back in his chair, falling into a long silence.

Madeline was quiet for two seconds. "How long?"

"A week to ten days."

Madeline wanted to offer to go with him.

But she had just received government documents that afternoon. She had to stay for the project review.
