Chapter 54: Chapter 54: A Fair Exchange and We’re Even
Translator: Inschain Editor: Inschain
Peter murmured, “Boss, are you thinking of abusing your power now?”
Elizabeth corrected him seriously, “Not thinking, I’m definitely going to abuse it.”
Peter had nothing to say.
He was left speechless.
With a humble tone, Peter said, “Alright, alright. You’re the Boss and you make the rules. And the capability of the Wilson Group is actually not bad, so it’s not really nepotism.”
“Yep, ” Elizabeth nodded lightly.
“Why the sudden urge to favor the Wilson Group? You never asked about such matters before.’
Not only did she not ask, but she almost forgot she owned a conglomerate, always engrossed in researching some oddities.
Elizabeth didn’t hide anything, admitting, “They pay me, so I give them what they want. A fair exchange and we’re even.”
Grandpa had always said that one shouldn’t take things for free.
After a moment of silence on the phone, Peter hesitated and said, “I don’t know if I should say this, and you probably won’t let me, but how much did they pay you?”
“Last time, two hundred thousand dollars. This time, fifty thousand,” Elizabeth recalled clearly.
“Boss, I have to say…”
“Shut up,” Elizabeth found him annoying.
“Okay, straight to the point then. Do you realize how much this project is worth? An estimated one billion dollars or so.
“It’s a bit low,” Elizabeth wasn’t fixated on the money, but each of her research initiatives had billions of dollars or tens of millions invested, though the returns were manifold.
Thinking about it, Peter agreed, “Yeah, it is a bit low.”
“Get it done today.”
Elizabeth declared before hanging up.
Peter sighed.
Look at that. His mental resilience had been honed by Elizabeth.
He hadn’t realized before how generous Elizabeth could be, gifting a project worth one billion dollars.
Since the Boss was being so magnanimous, he, as her right-hand man, would certainly follow her lead.
When Peter made a call, the General Manager of Surge Real Estate was flabbergasted.
Actually, the capabilities of the Wilson Group and another company were almost on par. It’s just that the other company had previously collaborated with Surge Real Estate, which made them the primary choice.
Now with President Berney’s directive, things had to change.
The General Manager inwardly grumbled at Ray. If there was a connection, he should’ve mentioned it earlier, instead of waiting until the other company was already celebrating, just to pull off a surprise twist.
It’s not like they were in a suspenseful drama.
Night fell.
After Sophia finished her shower, she saw Sir. Wilson browsing tourist attractions on his tablet.
Curiously, she asked, “What’s got you so interested all of a sudden? Feeling adventurous? Wanting to whisk me away on a romantic trip?”
Ray set down the tablet, sounding slightly regretful, “I’m just checking out nearby places suitable for young girls. I thought we could go out as a family before school starts. Our daughter has grown so much, and we haven’t taken a trip together.”
“I think Elizabeth might not be interested.”
Sophia sat down on the bed, sighed, and said with self-blame, “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, Elizabeth wouldn’t have gotten lost. If we had found her earlier, she might not have this personality now.”
After a pause, she added, “Of course, Elizabeth now is very sweet and well-behaved. But I wish she was a bit more lively.”
For the sake of Elizabeth, her heart was breaking.
Ray took her hand, comforting her, “Let’s not talk about the past. It’s good that Elizabeth is back.”
“Yes, it’s good that she’s back. But Elizabeth…”
Sophia was feeling down. She could sense, as a mother, that sometimes when Elizabeth interacted with them, she was distant and overly polite, lacking warmth.
As Ray was about to comfort her further, his phone rang..
