Chapter 15

After Nathan and Penny returned to their home in Asiatic City, Thomas left with his men.

Penny expressed her gratitude again, “I can’t thank you enough for doing this. At least we didn’t look like losers in front of the whole clan.”

Nathan smirked, “It was nothing, Hehe. Remember, this is not a defeat but a new beginning. You will rise up from the ashes.”

Penny was puzzled, ‘What are you talking about? We no longer have the clan’s support. Besides, I’m jobless now. How would I rise up from this?”

Nathan casually suggested, “You mean, you’re not working for Grande anymore. That doesn’t mean you’re jobless. You still have the shopping complex project! Why don’t you open your own company? When you complete the project, your personal net worth will exceed the clan’s for sure.”

Penny was taken aback, “Nathan... You’ve got it wrong. I’d signed the contract on behalf of the company. This is their project now.”

Nathan responded in a laid-back manner, “Nah. It stated clearly that you were the party B, not Grande. I also talked to the director of their development department, Mr. Ziegler. He said that they’d only recognized you as the developer instead of Grande. In other words, only Penny Smith gets to build the shopping complex!”

It went without saying that Penny and her parents were over the moon to learn that.

Penny even gave Wyatt Ziegler a call to confirm. His answer matched Nathan’s earlier statement.

Penny thanked Wyatt in excitement before she ended the call.

However, the excitement did not last long. Penny had to now face the challenge of finishing the project on her own.

Can I pull it off?

If I do as Nathan suggested and found our own company, where would I get funding?

Nathan read her mind, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the money. You just focus on the project. Okay?”

Penny and her parents were beside themselves.

They thought today was the darkest day of their lives, having lost everything.

Thanks to Nathan, they now saw the silver lining.

Penny stared at Nathan gratefully, “We’re in your debt. I don’t know what we’d do without you this time.”
