Chapter 777

Sheldon nodded and said, “The financial costs will only increase over time. If someone very capable is willing to join us, why not?”

“Who is this person?” Elizabeth asked.

“You’ll find out tonight,” Sheldon smiled. “I came specifically to tell you about this.” Between the lines, she meant, “Don’t refuse me; I came to you just…”

Elizabeth fell silent. She had a bad feeling.

Elizabeth probed, “Is it Alexander?”

Sheldon didn’t expect Elizabeth to be so perceptive.

“If it’s him,” he was interrupted by Elizabeth before he could finish, “Sheldon, how much did Mr. Tudor invest in you? I’ll invest double.”

She didn’t need Alexander to invest in the institute.

“Elizabeth, don’t act on impulse! Alexander’s willingness to invest in our institute is a great thing for us!”

Elizabeth shook her head; she didn’t think so.

“Sheldon, I hope you consider this rationally!”

“I have considered it, so Elizabeth, you need to come tonight,” he said.

Elizabeth didn’t know how to respond. Sheldon frowned. Elizabeth felt inexplicably irritated. She really wanted to defy Sheldon. But she knew very well that in the institute, although she was the director and an investor, these titles were given by Sheldon. Her investment wasn’t as much as Sheldon’s, and the institute was founded by Sheldon first. At most, she was a partner! She had the right to negotiate with Sheldon, but Sheldon could agree or refuse. She could also use her departure to threaten Sheldon.

However, researching SH2N was Celine’s wish. Elizabeth leaving would do her no good! Sheldon might not be afraid of Elizabeth leaving either. After all, if one Elizabeth left, there would be countless others like her. Those people might not be as capable as she was, but the world could function without anyone!

“What do you say?” Sheldon asked Elizabeth.
