Female NovelHelen continued, "And Gene is buying all those land lots on a blank check. Is Lanecorp supposed to spend every last capital to outbid the richest man of the east coast? You might as well demand that we go bankrupt directly!"
Every staff member of Lanecorp was nodding repeatedly. Helen was right-Gene had nothing but money, and it was suicidal to compete against him in that front.
"Hah! I don't care!"
Nonetheless, Kallum rolled his eyes and laughed he could not care less about anything and was even more radical after his son's death. "That still meant you failed to achieve the second task I asked, no?" Helen frowned. "It's true, but-"
"No buts." Kallum sneered. "All I care about is results. You failed, and that's it. Hell, I don't mind telling you how much money I've siphoned off this company now... It's twelve billion dollars!" The Lanecorp staff around them gasped right then.
They were aware that Kallum had been embezzling company money... But twelve billion was still a dizzying number!
Helen remained clearly defiant, even clenching her knuckles as she said quietly, "There's no guarantees when it comes to corporate projects, and this is one such occasion. Just tell me the third task."novelbin
"No," Kallum sneered, shaking his head. "It doesn't work that way, Helen Lane. I've only told you about the twelve billion just to see you squirm. If you want that money back, be a good girl and go to Gene Pearce, ask nicely and see if he's willing to hand them over to you.

Even so, Kallum's laughter could still be heard.
Either way, Helen was really furious.
It was twelve billion dollars they were talking about!
If she could get that money back, it would really shut Fleur Lang up.
After all, the Southstream Lanes had been yapping for a while over the past week.
While Helen's position as the head of the Lane family was beyond reproach, Fleur and her ilk would still ridicule her and be exceedingly vocal about their disappointment if she failed to produce results. In fact, that woman might even fully pin the blame on Helen.
That had already left Helen stressed, and it only exacerbated Cindy had to continue her maniacal tantrums, cursing Will and making a huge scene.
Still, she could understand why-Cindy was only allowed to stay because of Will's promise to deliver the land lots to Lanecorp.
Now that Will had failed, she had zero cause to stay and was therefore hysterical.

"Hehe..." Frank chuckled and nodded. "Gene may have bought these land lots, but persuaded him to transfer the deed to us."
When he finished, there was only silence.
