Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Using Gavyn as a Pawn

Waylon’s tone sounded wronged and helpless, “I’m sorry, Zoey withheld the remittance. No matter what I say, she just doesn’t believe in this project…”

Aylin raised an eyebrow.

She knew for sure that the problem couldn’t be with Waylon.

Waylon has an older sister, Zoey Kline. During the years when Waylon was indulging in food, drink, and entertainment, Zoey took care of the entire company. It was only later that she gradually. allowed him to get involved in some parts of the business.

Despite this, since he hasn’t settled down and gotten married yet, the financial control of the Kline family’s fortune still remains in Zoey’s hands.

Zoey was swift and decisive, highly skilled in her craft. Within their circle, she was a well-known formidable beauty, and even Aylin had heard of her reputation.

She knew Zoey must be a strong-willed woman, but she never imagined she could be this assertive.

After pondering for a moment, Aylin didn’t bother with pointless blame and asked directly, “So, how much can you transfer now?”

Waylon touched his nose and said, “3 million dollars.”

The original amount was 8 million dollars, but now it’s been reduced by more than half.

Aylin frowned, saying in a deep voice, “The difference is too great.”

Waylon knew that hearing this number would definitely be upsetting, so he quickly said, “But don’t worry, I’ll try my best to persuade Zoey. Oh, she can be so stubborn sometimes… How about I find someone else to collaborate with?”

Find someone? Who else could we find?

Aylin could easily guess what Waylon was hinting at, but she didn’t like it one bit.

“No need. Just find a way to send the money as soon as possible. I hope you can abide by the contract. That’s it, goodbye.”

Aylin hung up the phone, her expression solemn.

The contract has been signed, and work on various aspects of the project has already begun. Whether it’s the manufacturers, advertisers, or the marketing department, everyone is eagerly awaiting the funds to be put to use.

The issue of profit sharing can be discussed, but if the startup capital is Insufficient, it’s like building a house on an unstable foundation there will be constant problems and endless repairs needed.

Daniel and Suzanne were standing nearby and could hear everything clearly. Daniel’s face showed at troubled expression.

“Ayl, I can help out a bit, but I only have 750 thousand dollars. Is that not enough?” Suzanne doesn’t have much authority, and this is all she has.

Aylin shook her head, “I don’t need you.”

Suzanne bit her fingertips, her face showing concern. After a moment, she hesitated and said, “How about we do as he suggested and bring in another person to join us?”

“You’ve signed contracts big and small, so delaying even a day can result in significant losses.”

Aylin gently patted Suzanne’s innocent head, “Do you know who he wants to partner up with?”

Daniel had a pretty good idea, but Suzanne wasn’t very familiar with Waylon’s circle of friends and was still in the dark. “Who is it?”

“It’s Gavyn,” Aylin said, her face as calm as still water.

Suzanne instinctively covered her mouth, surprised that Waylon would suggest inviting Aylin’s ex-husband. Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?

But at the moment, aside from this solution, she couldn’t think of any other way out.

Suzanne furrowed her delicate brows, “But with the current situation, it’s impossible to stop midway. Ayl, maybe you should consider…?”

Aylin’s voice was cold and indifferent, “Not considering it.”

She didn’t want to get entangled with Gavyn any further.

Daniel weighed the situation, even though he didn’t like Gavyn either, and was even more dissatisfied with how he had let Aylin down.

As a businessman and senior manager, Gavyn’s abilities were unquestionable. In all of New York, it was truly impossible to find a second person more suitable than him.
