Chapter 95

Seamar City’s sanitation workers quickly mobilized, and the sewage area Debra had bought began its cleanup and renovation. In a few months, it would be completely transformed. To save time, Debra had already begun other projects.

Following the municipal statement, many entrepreneurs began investing in her project, ensuring ample funds and even a surplus.

In the evening, Debra hosted a dinner at home. Randy placed a folder on the table and whistled, “In half a month, you’ve secured billions in funding. This is incredible!”

Marion chimed in, “With extra money, we can start other businesses before this project finishes.”

Debra nodded. “I know. That’s why I diverted some funds for a small investment.”

“Small investment?” Marion raised an eyebrow. “You spent hundreds of millions. That’s not small.”

Debra didn’t expect Marion to find out so quickly, but she hadn’t intended to hide it from him. Recently, with her busy dealings with Juan, Marion had been handling many matters, making it impossible to keep the accounts from him.

“What? Hundreds of millions?” Erica nearly choked on her beer. “What kind of investment needs so much money?”

This didn’t sound like a small investment at all.

Debra replied, “I bought out several projects owned by the Frazier Group.”

“What? You bought your family’s projects?” Randy was stunned. “Is that necessary? You’re the heiress to the Frazier family. Why do you have to pay any money?”

Debra laid out the documents of her recent purchases. They were unremarkable real estate projects and some other ongoing investments.

Randy said, “These are pretty mediocre. Some break even, and some lose money. Why buy them?”

“I got them at a low price. They have future potential.”

“Future potential? These?”

Debra wasn’t trying to convince Randy, but she knew that before her divorce in her previous life, Juan had already had his eye on these projects. He had acquired them at a low price, and a few years later, they had skyrocketed. The seemingly insignificant real estate projects had become highly sought after, due to a major school built nearby, bringing in massive profits.

“I bought them with another identity to avoid suspicion,” she said.

Randy asked, “How long do you think it’ll take to break even?”

“Two years,” Debra replied.

“Two years?” Randy was skeptical.

Chapter 45

From the moment Debra bought that piece of land, Randy doubted her judgment. Even after the land’s value skyrocketed, he chalked it up to luck.

Marion observed Debra’s calm demeanor and smiled. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her, but no matter what decision she made, he was ready to bear the consequences. Whether the investment paid off or not didn’t matter to him. As long as she was happy, he was content.

After dinner, Erica had an urgent matter to handle at the company, so she left with Randy and Marion. Debra then received a call from Melody. Melody sent Joe to pick her up, and Debra accepted the ride.
