Chapter 101: Chapter 99: Rolls-Royce Cullinan

Timothy Rowe smiled as well. Cecilia looked at him and asked, "Is everyone in Lorcain right now?"

"No, a few people went home for the National Day holiday."

Cecilia Sterling nodded. "Then let’s wait until everyone is back after the holiday. I’ll treat you all to a meal."

With that, she transferred 50,000 dollars directly to Timothy Rowe.

Timothy Rowe was startled and subconsciously tried to refuse. "Cecilia, no, I can’t accept this money."

Cecilia calmly explained, "It’s not just for you. It’s for the eight of you to split. At the very least, your daily living expenses should be covered. You’ll get this every month from now on."

"We’re already so grateful that you’re willing to invest in us, believe in us, and support us." Timothy Rowe felt awkward and moved to reject the transfer. "I really can’t accept this."

"I’ve already invested hundreds of thousands, so what’s there to be embarrassed about accepting a small stipend?" Cecilia cut him off, her tone serious. "Right now, you all need to focus completely on the project. As your investor, the last thing I want is for you to be distracted by other matters. If everyone is like Garrett, having to run off to a part-time job every day just to cover living expenses, the project timeline will inevitably drag on. Time is a cost, and I have to consider those hidden losses too."

Her words were very persuasive, and Timothy Rowe paused.

Estelle Goodman couldn’t watch any longer and chimed in, "Cecilia is very thorough in her considerations. This isn’t the time to be stubborn. She’s completely focused on the project and on all of you. If you’re truly grateful, then working hard to make the project a success is the best way to show it."

Timothy Rowe hesitated, pursing his lips. He felt conflicted, but also deeply touched.

In the end, he finally nodded. "Then, on behalf of everyone, thank you."

Seeing him accept, Cecilia couldn’t help but smile faintly. "Once the contract is signed, you’ll be my team. We’ll be in this together, win or lose. Don’t feel too much pressure, either. I know investments are risky. Even if it doesn’t succeed in the end, I won’t hold it against you."

"We’ll do our best," Timothy Rowe said earnestly.

After finishing his iced Americano, Timothy Rowe left with the contract.

Cecilia glanced at the time, then turned to Estelle and asked, "What should we do now?"

Estelle thought for a moment. "I want to go get my nails done."

"You go get your nails done, then. I want to go look at some cars."

"You’re buying a car? Do you even know how to drive?" Estelle asked.

Of course, Cecilia knew how to drive; she just didn’t have a license at the moment.

"I’ll have to wait to take delivery anyway. I can just go take the test."

Estelle hesitated for a moment, then said, "In that case, I’ll go with you. Getting my nails done by myself is boring."

Cecilia nodded. The two left the coffee shop arm in arm, and Estelle asked curiously, "What kind of car are you thinking of buying?"

"Let’s just look around first. I don’t know much about them."

With nothing else to do, the two of them visited several luxury car dealerships, including Ferrari, Bentley, and Lamborghini, but nothing caught Cecilia’s eye.

Her knowledge of cars wasn’t comprehensive, much less professional, so what mattered most was finding something she loved at first sight.

If a car caught her fancy the moment she saw it, she would buy it without a second thought.

Finally, the two of them walked into a Rolls-Royce dealership.

The moment they entered, Estelle made a beeline for a sofa in the lounge area. She flopped down and looked at Cecilia with a pained expression. "Honey, you’ll have to look on your own. I really need to rest. I think you’ve walked my legs off."

Cecilia nodded with a helpless smile. Just then, a salesperson approached them.
