Jeffrey’s eyes bulged in disbelief, and for a long moment, he struggled to process what he had just heard.
After a brief pause, he snapped back to reality and roared at Fiona Ellington, “Are you out of your mind? Ten billion dollars to them? Do we look like we’re running a charity here?”
With ten billion dollars, you could open a string of world–class art galleries! He thought.
Fiona must have lost her marbles by giving out such an astronomical number.
Fiona shot him an icy glance before turning to Vivienne and Percival, “Give me an account number. I’ll transfer the funds to you!”
She wasn’t offering this fortune for Jeffrey’s sake, but to keep Percival and Vivienne from dismantling the other art galleries.
