Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

Chapter 474

“Mr. Brown, is there any way we could reconsider the contract we signed earlier?”

Carlene knew it was a long shot, but the thought of inheriting a $2 billion debt from the Pennyfeather Group the moment she took over was a hard pill to swallow.

She had already sunk hundreds of millions into the acquisition and hadn’t seen a dime in return. If she sold off the Pennyfeather family’s company to repay the debt, she could be looking at a loss of a billion dollars.

The Shepard family’s coffers weren’t exactly overflowing at the moment.

Pretty much all the money she could spare had been spent over the past few days.

First, there was that painting she had barely been able to afford and bought to impress Edith, but it only ended up creating an awkward situation between them.

Then there was the company acquisition, which she had poured a lot of money into, and she might even have to dip into the Shepard family’s assets. If the other members of the Shepard family found out about this, they would flip their lids. She could expect a lot of ridicule, and the Shepard family might not have any peace for a while.

She had thought that acquiring the Pennyfeather family’s company would be a win, but it turned out that the contract the Pennyfeather family had signed with the EliteEdge Consortium was a real stinker.

Her emotions flared up in a heartbeat.
