All Her Secrets

Chapter 838 What Is His Purpose

Rylan was busy with official business when his secretary walked in. “Mr. Melton, here is the list from Styre University.” Without looking up, he replied, “Didn’t I put you in charge of the funding for Styre University? Just allocate the funds. There’s no need to consult me.”

The secretary had indeed received such orders before, but this time, the amount was so substantial that she didn’t dare to decide on her own. “Mr. Melton, the amount involved exceeds our expectations. I think it’s best if you review it yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Rylan felt a surge of irritation. Then he said with his teeth clenching, “Fine, very well. If that’s so, arrange for the funds to be allocated. And from now on, I want to personally review every single expense from the lab!”
