The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 193

Lucas' TechNova Group was one investor, and Brandon counted as another.

Excluding them, how many more investors would it take to pull together 500 million dollars?

"Lucas, what do you think?" Tiffany turned her head to catch Lucas' eye.

Lucas closed his eyes for a moment as he fiddled with his metal lighter. After a thoughtful pause, he smiled. "Perhaps."

Brandon also shot a glance at Tiffany, silently affirming her point.

Deep down, he was convinced that by the time everything came together, Sebastian would know exactly when to let go of the lesser asset. Maybe he'd even personally invite Tiffany to join the temporary research team.

…

Back at Flying Seal Group's headquarters, Sebastian tossed the documents onto the desk and snorted. "It's not that they doubt the Flying Seal Group project. They're just all secretly looking down on you and trying to get me to boot you from the team. They just want Tiffany on board!"

Lucas probably wasn't even keen on having Evelyn on the team.

Besides, Tiffany was clearly eager to get involved in technology development, and Lucas wasn't about to let Evelyn overshadow her.

Evelyn neatly gathered the files. "How about using our own funds for the investment?"

Sebastian paused. "It's 500 million dollars! Flying Seal Group doesn't have that kind of liquidity."

"What if I do?" Evelyn looked up at him calmly.

Sebastian slowly raised an eyebrow. "You? You've got 500 million dollars?"

Evelyn nodded. "After I finalized my divorce from Lucas, he gave me our marital property. That place is worth at least 500 million dollars. I was already planning to sell it, and now, it fits our needs perfectly."

As for the one-billion-dollar divorce settlement Lucas had promised, he planned to pay it out over three years. And he hadn't even paid the first installment yet.

There had been a time when she felt deeply attached to their marital home. After all, every painstaking detail of those three years shared with Lucas had been etched into those walls.
