He Cheated. I Rose.
This couldn't be real. Fifty billion dollars! It was an astronomical figure. If five billion in cooperative funding were injected, it could directly propel Lewis Group into the top five—no, even the top three companies in all of Capaville. When Scott heard the number, he stepped forward in disbelief, his eyes widening as they fixed on the sum written in the contract. It was true—fifty billion dollars. Cosmos Group was directly injecting fifty billion in capital and asking for only forty percent of the profits in return. It felt like a windfall—too good to be true. How was this possible? Something like this had actually landed in Lewis Group's lap. Scott could hardly believe what he was seeing. He lifted a hand and rubbed his eyes, trying hard to confirm he wasn't dreaming. Everything told him it was real—one hundred percent genuine. It was a legally binding document, personally signed by none other than Eric, the billionaire. At the end of the contract was the official seal of Cosmos Group, along with documentation filed by various departments—particularly legal—all properly completed. This was a thoroughly prepared cooperation agreement. In that instant, Scott could hardly wait to sign the agreement himself, terrified the other party might suddenly change their mind. "It's real! It's real. This really is Cosmos Group. Truly them," Scott exclaimed, his voice thick with emotion, his eyes reddening. Monique stood frozen, completely stunned. She couldn't process what was unfolding. Fifty billion. Cosmos Group had actually stepped in—and with such an astronomical amount. This... How could something like this happen? Monique wished she could snatch the contract and tear it to pieces. What kind of connections did Chloe have? What had she done to pull this off? How did that little bitch get so lucky?Ernesto strode over, pulling Monique aside. He glanced at the number on the contract, and after confirming it really was fifty billion, his expression darkened severely. Chloe took the pen from Zachary and, in her capacity as VP of Lewis Group, signed the cooperation agreement. After she finished, Lawrence also took the pen and signed his name in the section marked "Witness". At the very top of the document, Eric—owner of Cosmos Group and the world-renowned billionaire—had already signed. Now, both Chloe and the witness, Lawrence, had added their signatures. "I'm very pleased that Cosmos Group and Lewis Group have reached a cooperative agreement," Lawrence said, extending his hand. "Looking forward to a successful partnership," Chloe replied with a light smile, shaking his hand. Landon pulled out his phone and captured the moment. "Perfect. This is a historic occasion. I look forward to the joint development of both groups—and making heaps of money together!" Landon said, then immediately answered his ringing phone. "Okay, the agreement is signed. You can release the announcement." Almost as soon as Landon hung up, people noticed that the news of Cosmos Group's fifty-billion-dollar investment in Lewis Group had been officially published on Cosmos Group's global social media account. So fast! Such an enormous amount! Without a doubt, it was like pouring gasoline on the fire of speculation—this partnership would etch the name of Lewis Group indelibly into Capaville's business landscape. "Cosmos Group has officially announced it! This is their global account, not just the domestic one!" "This... It really is Cosmos Group!" "Lewis Group's stock is definitely going to surge tomorrow. Is it too late for me to buy more shares now?" "I-I don't even know what to say. Chloe is truly remarkable! She actually pulled this off. I'm impressed." "With a fifty-billion-dollar injection from Cosmos Group, all of Lewis Group's problems are solved. The group's standing is going to jump several levels overnight." The excited chatter continued. The shareholders were so thrilled they were practically ready to pop open champagne on the spot. A figure like fifty billion would shock anyone—and Arthur was no exception. When Arthur heard the number, his heart skipped a beat. Cosmos Group was actually willing to invest fifty billion. The senior members of Myers Group had been relentlessly criticizing his decision to invest two billion in Lewis Group. Even his mother had opposed it. But as president of the group, he still held the authority to approve that two-billion investment. He had been willing to cooperate with Lewis Group—that was the extent of Myers Group's sincerity. His two billion had represented his wholehearted intention, but faced with Cosmos Group's fifty-billion-dollar contract, it now seemed almost trivial—not even worth comparing.
