The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving novel Chapter 192

What Tiffany said made perfect sense.

After all, they were all businessmen, and the investment community evaluated projects using complex, strict standards.

In her opinion, if Graham was truly guiding the Flying Seal Group project, they shouldn't let a nobody compromise their success.

Evelyn cast a cold glance at Tiffany and then turned her gaze away.

"That's exactly the kind of issue Flying Seal Group should handle internally." Evelyn went straight to the point, speaking in a cool, emotionless tone.

Tiffany paused for a moment, a flicker of astonishment appearing in her eyes.

Even Lucas stared at Evelyn's impassive face in confusion. After a moment, he squinted his eyes slightly and offered no comment.

Flynn and Brandon were both quite taken aback. They hadn't expected Evelyn to brush the issue off so lightly.

Brandon narrowed his eyes slightly. Was this how Evelyn was planning to address the investors?

Flynn then softened his voice and said in a probing tone, "Mr. Hill, we all know that the engineers and even the technical staff in Flying Seal Group are graduates from top institutions. Their caliber is unquestionable. As far as I know, Ms. Reed only holds a bachelor's degree. Wouldn't others object to her joining the project team and sharing the rewards?"

Developing a great project would demand blood, sweat, and round-the-clock dedication. If an outsider were to take a slice of the pie… He doubted anyone would agree, right?

After a thoughtful pause, Brandon smiled and added, "Mr. Hill, you need financing now, and the employees participating in the project are within the scope of the investors' evaluation. But I get it—mistakes happen."

Sebastian cast a glance at Evelyn. It was the first time he felt truly irritated. There were still about six months until Evelyn's non-disclosure agreement as the developer for the UN2 combat drone's integrated reconnaissance and strike system expired. Moreover, Evelyn did only hold an undergraduate degree.

Even if he insisted that Evelyn was carrying the project, those with a deep-seated bias and saw her as nothing more than a housewife, would never believe it.

"I can understand how you all feel. After all, when it comes to investments, caution is paramount. However, Evelyn is indisputably on the list. If you have doubts, it simply shows that we aren't destined to work together this time."

Sebastian's stance was clear. Collaboration was optional, but he would firmly secure Evelyn.

Brandon's face showed a look of surprise.

Could it be that Sebastian wasn't even interested in discussing investments with them just for Evelyn's sake?

After all, she had assumed Sebastian would negotiate with them over the investment.

Brandon shot Tiffany a glance, agreeing with her interpretation.

After all, who would have thought that Sebastian would be this smitten?

Tiffany pursed her lips. She had never expected to see Evelyn's name listed among the project leaders for Flying Seal Group, granting her such a prestigious honor alongside Sebastian.

Finally, she smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's alright. The financing for Flying Seal Group isn't something that can be solved overnight. Sebastian will figure it out."

After all, it was 500 million dollars they were talking about.

This project was undoubtedly a money-burning, labor-intensive venture. Even for a leading company like Flying Seal Group, securing the necessary capital wouldn't be easy.

Right now, few companies in Clementon could handle aerospace projects and were willing to invest large sums.
