Chapter 412 The Fallout and Consequences

This project's commission was far lower than the one at Mythica last time.

How did so much suddenly come up?

With her voice, the others also looked over.

Candy tapped on the keyboard, and a series of card numbers appeared on the computer screen-it was the account for the transfer.

Chloe frowned as soon as she saw the last few digits of that account.

Candy checked the account holder information for the transferred card number. "Evildoer?!"

She was the account opener for this card.

She hadn't continued as Devin for the three years before her marriage, so she considered this card for daily expenses.

Any requirements from Lotus Manor were deducted from this card as well.

She had given the card number to Michael before, and he probably remembered it.

Several people turned back to look at Chloe, who felt a headache.

Why did Michael transfer money to her without any reason?

"Why not give him a call and ask?"

Chloe hesitated; she had blocked him and didn't want to bring him back into her life now.

Quinn handed her his phone, saying, "Use mine."

It took a long time for Michael to answer because it was an unknown number.

"Michael, why did you transfer thirty million to my account?"

Hearing Chloe's voice, there was suddenly a noise of a chair banging table legs on the other end.

"That was the money from Apricot Manor before. The property there appreciated, so I transferred the surplus to you."

Chloe raised an eyebrow.

The house hadn't been sold, so where did this appreciation come from?

"Since you are so generous, thank you."

She'd be a fool not to take money when it was offered.

"Chloe, could we talk sometime?"

It was the same line again.

"Mr. Shawn, I don't think there's anything left for me to discuss with you. If there's any business cooperation in the future, I'll naturally discuss it. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." After hanging up on him, Chloe looked at the thirty million in her account. "Consider it a bonus for your business trips, ten million each."

Jessica's eyes widened like copper bells.

Ten million?

She never dreamed she'd have so much money in her life.

"Chloe, I didn't do much on this business trip. It was Candy and Quinn handling everything. I can't accept this ten million..."

It was too much.

"Our team treats us well; you'll get used to this!"

Candy put her arm around Jessica's shoulder, implying that sticking with Chloe meant never going hungry.

She had foolishly married Michael before, but now that she broke free, she was determined to focus on her career!

Chloe went to the Opal Group the next day.

As soon as she got out of the elevator, an assistant approached her. "Are you Ms. Nelson? Mr. Jenkins is in a meeting. Please wait a moment." Chloe nodded and followed the assistant to the waiting area.

As the assistant poured water for her, she glanced at Chloe several times.

It seemed like she had something to say but hesitated.

"Ms. Nelson, please wait. Mr. Jenkins should be out soon."

"It's okay, I'm not in a rush."

She really didn't have much to do every day.

After the assistant left, she immediately started gossiping with her colleagues.

"Hey, I just saw that Ms. Nelson is really beautiful. I couldn't even see pores on her face!"

"Really? Wasn't she Mrs. Shawn before? How come she's with Mr. Jenkins now?"Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"I don't know. Mr. Jenkins told me to take good care of her. Do you think Mr. Jenkins has a thing for Ms. Nelson?"

"Interested in a married woman? Does Mr. Jenkins have such unique tastes?"

They buzzed with chatter, but as soon as Wesley appeared, they dispersed like dandelion seeds.

Wesley entered the lounge, and Chloe immediately stood up when she saw him. "Hello, Mr. Jenkins."

"No need to be so formal; let's talk in my office."

The assistant brought in coffee and glanced at Chloe and Wesley. "Ms. Nelson, this is the coffee Mr. Jenkins specially asked me to brew for you. He said you particularly like it." She emphasized the word "specially".

Chloe was somewhat surprised. How did Wesley know what coffee she liked?

After the assistant left, Wesley spoke, "Ms. Nelson, does Candy have a new romantic interest recently?"
