Second Chances

Emma took a look just now. Half of the people here were people who had once supported Brad. 

Although there were also people with outstanding abilities, over the years, a large portion of the old shareholders of the Halls Group had taken advantage of their seniority to embezzle company funds. behind their backs. 

Now that Liam had finally defeated Brad, the next step was to get rid of these treacherous people. 

Today’s board meeting seemed to be a discussion of projects but in reality, it was to get rid of those greedy shareholders. 

Emma had already seen the content of their argument on the way here. She said, “I’ve already read the proposal for your project. 80% of you voted to buy that piece of land in the west of the city. Since Mr. Hall called me here, I’ll be frank. You should buy the entire Holy Mountain in the north of the city at the same price.” 

When Emma finished speaking, the board of directors nearly exploded. The entire land was more than three times more than what was written in Levi’s plan. 

Someone immediately objected. “Mr. Hall, is this what you call an investment genius? Using 800 million dollars to buy a wasteland that has been abandoned for almost 20 years. It’s the biggest joke I’ve seen in my years of business.” 

The meeting room burst into laughter. Without a doubt, they were all mocking Emma’s decision. Everyone felt that she was fucking crazy to use 800 million dollars to buy a mountainous area that had been abandoned for 20 years more than an hour away from the city center instead of the expensive central business district in the west of the city. 

But Emma clearly remembered that in her previous life, this “wasteland” that had been abandoned for more than 20 years was invested by the world’s largest tourism company a month later into a world–class theme park. In the future, this place would be the place for young people and children to visit. 

The surrounding infrastructure, food transportation, and everything else would begin to be built. The entire mountainous economy would rise and would be the target of policy support in the future. If they bought it now, the more they bought, the more money they would earn. 

Emma’s expression did not change. “In any case, I support Mr. Carter’s proposal. Not only do i support it, but I also think you should buy it all.” 

Liam nodded. 

When the board of directors saw their reaction, they felt like the sky was about to collapse. Liam had to be crazy. 

Instead of snatching the desirable land in the west of the city, they would buy this “wasteland“. Everyone was planning to withdraw their investments and sell their shares. 

“In that case, we have nothing to discuss. Doman Group has been inviting me recently. I haven’t accepted because of our years of friendship. Since Mr. Simon has retired, and since you’re so 

stubborn, I believe there’s no need for me to stay in the Halls Group anymore,” one of them remarked. 

“Yes. 

“Yes. Let’s go,” another added. 

“We’ll leave,” a third chimed in. 

The shareholders did not even care about their reputation. 

A few days after the board meeting ended, the shareholders started to cause trouble.

away, basking in the sun. 

Levi glanced at his phone. Another shareholder was selling his shares. He finally could not take the psychological pressure and said, “Mr. Hall, if too many shareholders withdraw their investments at once, will there be a problem with the company’s capital? Besides, we have to invest 800 million dollars. Why don’t we not spend this sum of money for the time being…” 

Unexpectedly, Emma, who seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, had sharp hearing. When she heard Levi’s words, she said leisurely, “Isn’t it just 800 million dollars? I’ll fork out 200 million dollars.” 

When Emma finished, Levi nearly fainted. “Madam, h–how much did you say?” 

“200 million dollars.” Emma raised her head and looked at Levi. “If it’s not enough, I’ll think of another way. How about it? Is it enough?” 

Levi was speechless. Damn. He had always thought that Emma was just a very talented ordinary student, that she at most had 2 million dollars that she had gotten from the Wilson family. There was also Liam’s credit card and the pocket money given by her uncles. He didn’t know how she could say 200 million dollars so easily and where she got such a huge sum. 

Looking at Emma, who was five or six years younger than him, Levi felt jealous. 

The sum was indeed the “pocket money” her uncles had given Emma.

Chapter A 

“Anyway, buy this piece of land, as much as we can, It’ll definitely be profitable,” Emma said firmly. 

With the experience from her previous life, this was not an investment. It was foresight. However, sh 

did not explain to Liam that this was a secret she knew after her rebirth. 

At the moment. Liam could not understand Emma’s “rebirth“. 

Emma believed that with Liam’s business sense, he would also discover the business opportunities in 

this “wasteland“. 

As expected, a few days later, Liam officially announced that they would buy everything for 800 million dollars according to Emma’s strategy. 

By this time, more than half of the shareholders had already fled. Emma’s 200 million dollars went into the company funds in time and immediately stabilized the situation. 

A few hours later, Emma saw that Liam’s private account had also been filled. When Emma saw the string of numbers on his bank balance, even she, who was experienced, almost screamed. 

“Liam!” Emma counted the zeros with trembling hands. She couldn’t count them all. The more she counted, the more terrified she became. “You have so much money in your account. Did you lie to me?” 

Liam smiled gently. “When did you ask me how much money I have?” 

Emma cried in agony. Liam was so rich, yet he wanted her 200 million dollars. She thought Liam’s capital would be in trouble, so she gave him everything she had. She was already prepared to eat cup noodles in school. “Give me back my money.” 

Liam tapped Emma’s nose. “Okay. I’ll call the bank manager later. I’ll pay you back double.” 

Emma instantly fell silent. Double… That was 400 million dollars. Liam was so rich and generous. Emma’s eyes instantly sparkled. “Hubby, I think you look even more handsome today.” 

A shockwave went through Liam’s originally gentle and handsome face. “What… did you just call me?” 

Emma blushed slightly. Her red lips moved as she repeated, “Hubby.” 

Liam was overwhelmed with emotions. He had never thought that being called “hubby” by her would feel like this. He felt thrilled, touched and… lust. 

“Handsome? What else?” Liam’s voice was deep as he approached Emma. 

3/4 

Emma hugged Liam and took the initiative to kiss him. “You trust me too.” 

After all, 800 million dollars was not a small project. Without any hesitation, Liam did as Emma said. 

Liam hugged Emma’s waist and pressed his nose against hers. “How should you thank your husband?”
