Trident Group.
Avery named the new project “Nostalgia Greens”. A clear indication that she was missing a man,
waiting for his return
The man was the love of her life.
A famous author once said, “Waiting for the rain is the lifelong destiny of an umbre.”
Right now, she is like that umbre, waiting for the rain to quench the drought in her heart.
Once the Nostalgia Greens project ispleted, her rain would surely arrive.
The massive construction project at Nostalgia Greens had begun, but Trident Group was facing a
dilemma.
Due to some issues with the previous coboration with VIVI Group, Trident Group temporarily
withdrew from the project. Moreover, when news of Cayden''s mishap came, VIVI Group unexpectedly
added insult to injury, demanding a huge penalty from Trident Group for breach of contract.
How could Avery possibly let Vivi Group act shamelessly?
She immediately convened an emergency meeting, deciding to follow the proper legal procedures.
Meanwhile, as thewsuit was underway, there were issues with the funding of the project. Without
financial support, the Nostalgia Greens project simply couldn''t continue.
In a moment, Trident Group led by Avery found itself in a difficult predicament.
At the CEO''s Office.
These past few days, Avery had been ragged trying to raise funds. What was strange was that she''d
been around and not a single bank was willing to give Trident Group a loan. Avery knew something
was definitely off, someone must be pulling strings behind the scenes.
But the culprit who caused the mischief was hidden too deeply, making it impossible for Avery to find
out in a short time.
When Xavier walked in, he saw Avery with a worried look on her face and asked, “Ms. Rumpley, are
you still thinking about the issue with funds?”
Avery put down her fountain pen and looked intently at Xavier. “Mr. Dartsley, how have your
communications with the investors been going these past few days?”
Xavier shook his head in frustration. “It''s very strange. No bank is willing to finance Trident Group. Even
the group''s previous major clients have all chosen to remain silent now. They either use their
company''s financial crisis as an excuse or simply dodge the issue. They''re really a bunch of ungrateful
wretches!”
He clenched his fist, mming it against the table wall. His heart filled with resentment, leaving Avery
in a state of dejection.
However, all of this was expected.
She poured a ss of water for Xavier and suddenly asked, “Mr. Dartsley, what do you think about the
idea of us looking for partners or investors, and borrowing from the capital market through financing?”
Xavier disagreed, “Sure, this method is feasible, but all the partners who want to raise funds now are
adamant about buying shares in Trident Group and running the business with you, Ms. Rumpley. Then,
what you''ll face is another division of equity and profits. You''ve just regained your shares, and now
you''re going to transfer them again. Honestly, I don''t really agree with this approach.”
Avery lowered her gaze, deep in thought. It was her reluctance to sell her shares again that was
causing a bottleneck in her fundraising efforts.
She had considered seeking financial aid from Cayden''s friends, Xander, and Jacob. Given their
brotherly bond, they would surely be willing to lend a hand. In fact, both of them had expressed that
intention.
However, debts of gratitude are hard to repay.
Moreover, even though they were Cayden''s friends, they were also astute businessmen. They certainly
wouldn''t engage in a losing deal. They might have weighed the situation for Cayden''s sake, and
wouldn''t deceive Avery. However, when the time came to divide the profits, they naturally wouldn''t get a
small share.
Trident Group had invested in such arge project, so the profits in the budget would be significantly
reduced.
After much thought, Avery decided not to consider their financing aid.
“How about this, Mr. Dartsley, shall we go for crowdfunding?” After much consideration, Avery
proposed this idea. It seemed that this was the only feasible solution now.
“The government is currently cracking down hard on private fundraising, and it will take at least three to
five years to legalize it. Moreover, the legal issues triggered by private fundraising are endless. People
are now very vignt, and it''s not easy to raise funds privately. If not handled properly, it could easily
lead to economic disputes and even attract the supervision and investigation of the Securities
Regtory Commission, which would be significant trouble,” Xavier analyzed pragmatically.
“No pain no gain. Illegal fundraising is soliciting funds from the public without approval, which could
potentially trigger systemic financial risks. However, there is still a gray area in the country''s private
finance. As long as the return exceeds twenty percent, it is considered illegal fundraising. But as long
as we fundraise ording to regtory standards, setting the return standard at around fifteen
percent, we can still raise a considerable amount of funds. As long as we can raise funds, our project
can get started. The initial stage may be difficult, but I can assure you that this project is absolutely
profitable,” said Avery confidently.
These days, she had been reading a lot of business books and had been consistently studying
economicw.
She intended to exploit certain loopholes to find favorable opportunities for financing.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Xavier chose not to say anything more. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
Having worked with Avery for so long, he deeply understood that thisdy boss was no pushover.
Despite her being a delicate woman, she was incredibly resourceful. He looked forward to seeing her
lead Trident Group to new heights.
The Lambert family.
When William returned home, he saw Nicole, donned in an apron, in the kitchen learning how to make
soup from Polly.
During this period, due to the numerous scandals, every single one of Nicole''s appearance was met
with a relentless onught from the onlinemunity.
Therefore, she rarely appeared in the media, doing her best to minimize exposure, waiting for the storm
to pass before making her move.
She had also be a well-behaved girl who never set foot outside the front door.
Nicole''s career outside had taken a massive hit, and her poor performance during this period seemed
to have left her parents rather unsatisfied, especially William, whose attitude towards her had be
significantly colder than before. Naturally, Nicole couldn''t possibly let this unfavorable situation continue
to develop.
So, she became especially well-behaved and obedient.
Nicole, who had never lifted a finger to do any housework, began learning cooking skills from her
mother or Polly, in order to please her foster father. As expected, her efforts greatly satisfied William
and his previously cold attitude towards her softened considerably.
William nced at Nicole, who was busy in the kitchen, then headed straight to the studio.
While at work, ire sent him a message. She had something to discuss with him and asked him to
come to her studio directly after work.
William walked to the studio and gently pushed the door open.
The charming ire was holding a paintbrush, creating a portrait on canvas.
From a distance, William found his wife''s paintings to be incredibly real, as the details on the
characters were meticulously painted. William couldn''t help but admire her work. ire truly deserves
to be a first-ss artist. It was only when he got closer that he was taken aback to see that the person
in the oil painting was their daughter.
Avery.
“ire...” William gently called his wife''s name, his affectionate gaze following her. “You said you
wanted to discuss something with me. What is it?”
ire set down her paintbrush, her hand smeared with paint, and lightly brushed the canvas.
Looking at the painting of Avery, she was particrly entranced, voicing the words she had long kept in
her heart. “William, I think I want to go to the Moore family to im our daughter!”
