The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 271

"Is everything okay?" Sylvia Xavier noticed his expression was off.

"It's fine. Connor's birthday is still a while away. There's no need to prepare so early."

"I can't do that. Connor adores me, and if I don't put my heart into his gift, he'll be disappointed."

Killian Quincy met her gaze, smoothly changing the subject. "Was there something else?"

"These are the financial reports for SwiftPath AI's first half of the year, along with the latest proposals."

Sylvia placed the documents gently on the desk, carefully observing Killian's reaction.

The project's progress remained bleak, with profits failing to cover the costs.

The overall momentum dragged on. While it looked impressive to the public, the insiders knew it was constantly bleeding money.

Killian didn't take the files. He remained silent, his eyes fixed on the paperwork in his hands.

"You've been tied up with other projects lately and barely visit the office," Sylvia pressed on.

Killian finally looked up, his expression somber. "Leave them. I'll read them when I have time."

Sylvia bit her lip. She intended to leave but hesitated, her feet rooted to the spot.

"I want to have a serious talk with you about SwiftPath AI."

"About what?"

"Here's my thought. The sluggish progress is just because the market isn't fully tapped yet. It's not a lost cause." Sylvia took a deep breath, her tone resolute. "We should increase our investment, expand our scale, and aggressively capture the market..."

"SwiftPath AI isn't exactly capturing anything. Our market share has been completely crushed by Project Astra, hasn't it?"

Killian asked calmly.

Sylvia's heart dropped. This was the first time in years Killian had been so brutally direct with her regarding work.

Seeing Sylvia looking so devastated, a fleeting moment of pity crossed Killian's mind, but his face remained stoic.

"Do you know the most important rule in business?"

Sylvia shook her head blankly.
