She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499

When Jewel heard that, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Dominic added, “Make sure the taxes on this money are handled properly. Don’t give anyone a chance to gain leverage.”

Jewel smiled. “I know. I’ve already had someone take care of it. Besides, we qualify for a tax–exemption policy. Calculated that way, it’s still far more cost–effective than transferring the money directly to you, haha.”

Dominic gave a quiet acknowledgment.

Jewel continued with a sigh, “With so much cash in the company now, what’s the next step?”

Money held the greatest value when it circulated.

Dominic did not conceal anything. “Keep 100,000,000 dollars. Invest the rest in Cosmos Laboratory.”

Sales of White Cosmos No. 1 had completely stabilized, but a large corporation could not rely on a single product.

Dominic had already spoken with Andriana. Cosmos No. 2 had been completed and was currently undergoing its most critical clinical trials. If everything progressed smoothly, it could enter the market shortly after the start of next spring.

Andriana had also said that Cosmos No. 2 would still choose to cooperate with Dominic.

Under that premise, his decision to take out 300,000,000 dollars could be seen as returning goodwill with goodwill. Investing in Cosmos‘ upcoming products also signaled that their future cooperation would grow even closer.

Jewel nodded. “As for the remaining 100,000,000 dollars, I’m planning to stockpile some land and build flagship stores across major provinces and cities…”

She elaborated on the plan in detail. Dominic listened and occasionally offered his own opinions.

Time passed minute by minute.

Outside, Katherine finally lost her patience and pushed the door open.

Both of them looked up at the same time. The moment Jewel saw her, a trace of irritation rose inside her. ‘Katherine, you’re going too far. Every time the atmosphere is just right, you barge in. Are you that possessive?

‘Besides, you and Dominic haven’t even gone public yet. If you’re already this controlling, then even if you end up together, you’ll turn into a jealous shrew. You’ll definitely break up.‘”

Naturally, Katherine had no idea that in that brief instant, Jewel’s mind had already run through an entire chain of thoughts.

When she pushed the door open, she simply noticed that Dominic and Jewel were sitting a little close. Their clothes were neat, however, and she quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Dominic quickly stood. “Hey, Katherine. Come sit for a while.”

Katherine acknowledged him softly and sat on the sofa. With a smile, she said, “Miss Wright, I’m not disturbing you two, am I?”

Jewel forced a smile. “Of course not. If you have something to discuss with Dominic, I won’t disturb you.”

In front of outsiders, she usually addressed Dominic as “Mr. Fleming.” Calling him Dominic just now carried a faint sense of charging into battle. The reason lay in what happened after yesterday’s long session of gossip.

When Jewel went home and lay in bed that night, she had reflected for a long time. ‘Sure, gossiping is fun, but I’m one of the main characters too. I need to step onto the battlefield. Why should I be afraid of Katherine?”

Katherine clearly noticed these details. She frowned slightly and deliberately said, “It’s nothing serious. Just some private matters at home and a few other things.”

Jewel’s expression changed. She gave a light snort and left the office.
