Chapter 0023

At Chesire Mansion.

“Sir Chesire!” a voice filled with immense joy echoed from outside. Ben, the majordomo who had been

by Donovan’s side for over 40 years, hurriedly entered the living room. His face beamed with

unrestrained delight as he handed his phone to Donovan, his voice trembling with excitement.

and they’re investing a total of 4.5 billion dollars! That’s the Chesire family’s contract, and we can make

tier families would no longer be a mere dream!

“T-The contract…” Donovan stuttered. Then, he suddenly turned to Ben with a frown and said,

“Something’s not right. How could I not know about such a major development? Who’s in charge of this

project? Isn’t this Zoe’s department? Why didn’t she inform me? What is happening?”
