After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress ( Sylvia and Cyril ) Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Snatching the Project

In the conference room, several people sat discussing plans for upcoming projects.

“Thoughts on pursuing Jimmy Estate? I think we should make it our next main development if no objections,” Ingrid suggested while presenting documents outlining the proposal.

“Though the land area is substantial for demolition and rebuild, I recommend this alternative,” Sylvia countered, showing her own file. “It’s adjacent to the new train station, in an old housing district closer to downtown – very attractive location for homebuyers despite the sluggish market. We considered this long ago when Bruce was avoiding conflict with Cyril’s interests. But after all this time unable to secure the deal, it shows Cyril still lacks capability.”

Ingrid laughed derisively. “Are you joking? We looked into this before but couldn’t make it happen for various reasons. Now you act like it’ll be easy if we try again?”

Sylvia looked puzzled. “If you considered it once, why not revisit it? We’d just be snatching a project from someone else. Does our company not have the capital to outbid competitors?” Her daring words left them speechless. While possible for their company to acquire the development by outcompeting opponents, it could appear malicious.

Bruce finally spoke up. “Stealing others‘ business could be seen as predatory competition.”

Everyone conceded he had a point. Such a massive undertaking was set to break ground with another company soon. Hijacking it now seemed suspicious.

But Sylvia knew the project should have begun construction a month ago. Cyril’s efforts had stalled while distracted by Karena’s scandals.

“Why assume predatory intent? The fact it hasn’t started on schedule shows that company isn’t capable. Why leave a project to those unfit to execute it timely?”

Her rationale made sense. Letting incompetents keep the lucrative deal helped no one. Who cared about ethical appearances when profit was at stake?

Bruce eyed Sylvia meaningfully. “Are you certain you want to seize this? It may require greater sacrifice.”

He was surprised she’d suggest a venture originally granted to Cyril. But Sylvia just smiled.

“It was already ours to begin with. We’re simply reclaiming it by any means necessary.”

Her confidence and determination marked a departure from the marriage. Bruce grinned,

“You have a point, it was ours first. Let’s take it back then.” Bruce stated decisively after gauging the room. Though initially stunned, none could deny the value of resuming such a rewarding project.

“What do we think then? No issues taking this back under our control for greater profit?”

They’d evaluated immense earnings potential before abandoning it previously. Reviving such an advantageous scheme now would surely yield returns exponentially.

“I agree completely.”

“What agreement? We’d sacrifice more to seize this now. What’s the point?” Ingrid alone objected.

Sylvia eyed her calmly. “If you have personal rather than collective, business–minded objections, state them clearly. This guarantees profit well above costs for the company. Don’t let your grudge deny immense earnings at the company’s expense if you can shoulder the losses. But Jimmy Estate offers far too little.”

Her irrefutable rationale left Ingrid speechless once more.
