Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2286

Nathaniel and Callum agreed on the dish and set out to find a nearby supermarket to buy groceries.

Not long after, Mavis returned and was greeted by a delicious aroma.

"What's that wonderful smell?" she asked.

Callum came running with a chicken wing in one hand. "Mommy, why are you home so early?"

"I finished up and came back to see you!" Mavis replied, changing into her house slippers.

She rushed back as soon as she finished at the company, worried they might be bored. However, her concern seemed unnecessary, as the two were having a great time without her.

"Mommy, try this!" Callum did not wait for her response before shoving a piece of chicken into her mouth.

Mavis immediately recognized Nathaniel's cooking.

Then, the family of three began eating together.

"Did things go smoothly at the company?" Nathaniel asked, bringing up business.

Mavis swallowed her bite of food. "Pretty smoothly."

She knew that if she hinted at any difficulties, Nathaniel would step in to help. However, she did not want to rely on his influence. It was her company, and she preferred to handle it herself.

That night, as the three lay in bed, Callum became restless again.

"Daddy, Mommy, I want to hear a bedtime story. I can't sleep."

Mavis immediately closed her eyes, pretending to be fast asleep. Though Nathaniel knew she was faking, he indulged her and began telling a story.

"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful white rabbit who fell in love at first sight with a gray rabbit. She traveled across oceans just to be with him. At first, the gray rabbit didn't like her and often bossed her around. Other rabbits saw this and said the white rabbit was foolish…"

About twenty minutes later, Callum finally fell asleep.

"No need. I apologize for being late, everyone," Mavis said as she entered, though she did not look sorry at all.

She took a sip of her coffee and asked, "How have you all considered yesterday's matter?"

"We've discussed it. It's absolutely unfeasible. Let's compromise—why don't we establish a branch office in Svelton instead?"

"I disagree," Mavis replied, shaking her head slightly.

She knew she would have few chances to come to Vraeyce in the future. If the headquarters were not under her direct control, there was no telling when she might lose her position at the top.

"Mavis, don't push it!" One of the shareholders slammed his hand on the table, unable to contain his anger. "When you were short on funds years ago, we were the ones who helped you."

Mavis scoffed. "Help? Don't make it sound so noble. We're all businesspeople here. When you invested in the company back then, you demanded shares worth 1.5 times the market value."

To put it bluntly, it was practically extortion.
