The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 64

Elara stated a figure directly.

Julian’s tone was filled with irritation. "What kind of garbage project needs that much money?"

"A project manager colluded with an accountant and absconded with the funds. The project must continue, but I can't come up with that much cash on my own," Elara explained calmly.

Hearing this, Julian exploded.

"What the hell are you even doing over there?!"

"What are your cost-control, procurement, risk management, and audit departments doing? Are they just window dressing?"

"The project directors, the city general managers—the ones reporting that everything is fine and on schedule every single day—are they blind?"

"And especially that Finance Director of yours!"

"Fund approvals, payment reviews, account reconciliations—where did your protocols go?"

"How are the downstream funds being monitored?!"

"Are you keeping him around just for his pension?"

"With a screw-up of this magnitude, he should be the first one you hold accountable!"

Elara quietly listened to Julian’s tirade. When he was finally finished yelling, she asked, "So, can you help me secure this money or not?"

"With a trash company like yours, where do you expect to borrow money from?"

"Even if I gave you the money, it would be a total waste. Throwing a single dime into this catastrophic mess is pointless! At best, it just means you'll sell it for two pennies more when you're forced to liquidate."

Julian’s answer was exactly what Elara had expected.

The difference between people was truly staggering.

Both men managed corporations. Both held CEO positions. Both were exceptionally capable.

Zane Whitaker would bend down and discuss solutions with her. Julian Sterling would only stand on his pedestal, belittle her, and condemn her as useless.

So, the truth was, he really just looked down on her.

His love was always so painfully thin.

She hired a male escort once, and he lost his mind, cutting off her credit cards.

Yet she had brought in so many lucrative projects for him over the years, earning money that far exceeded the limit on those cards.
