Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 767

Gilbert vaguely recalled that an elderly couple used to live next door. Had they moved away?

He didn't dwell on it as Charles arrived, bringing good news.

"Mr. Gilbert, there's an update on the funding."

Gilbert raised an eyebrow, his expression unreadable. When he was still at Johnson Group, his energy was stretched thin, and his own ventures were more like side projects. Now, things were different. He had plenty of time to expand his operations.

But he was still working solo, without any significant backing, so seeking external support was crucial. He could have waited, slowly building up, but now, especially because of Naylor, finding a partner could significantly speed up the process. He hadn't expected to hear back so soon after sending out feelers.

"That was quick."

"Indeed," Charles smiled. "It's all thanks to your reputation in the industry, Mr. Gilbert. Your capabilities are well recognized."

"Alright, enough." Gilbert chuckled, waving his hand dismissively. "Let me see the details of this potential partner." "Here you go."

Gilbert took the documents and scrutinized them. "Not bad. Set up a meeting. It's better to discuss this in person." "Will do."
