"It is related to the Orphanage development project," Diana shared a little, trying to gauge Wyatt's reaction watching his microexpressions before she proposed her entire plan to him.
Knowing what Diana was doing, Wyatt felt this project might be important to her, so he nodded ignoring her little actions, "Continue."
"I am planning to build orphanages in the other cities where our Fine Gold has influence," Diana revealed. Then noticing no change in Wyatt's expression, she thought no reaction was better than a negative reaction and added, "This is just a start I plan to do this in every city our Fine Gold expands to in the future."
It was a n.o.ble idea and seemed simple for a powerful company like Fine Gold. However, the new Fine Gold under Wyatt's influence and management had expanded to the entire Blossom district. It was now spread across more than hundreds of cities.
The wealth they would require to build a capable orphanage in each city would add up to an enormous fortune. Not to mention Diana wanted to continue building orphanages in the future as the company expanded to other cities, making it a long-term project. They would have to start managing separate funds for such a project aside from the funds they would need to keep the orphanages they had already built running.
Diana alone would not take responsibility for such a big financial decision within the Fine Gold. Therefore she sought Wyatt's permission. Especially, Seeing how he handled the orphanage expansion problem. She became confident that Wyatt would green-light her project.
"Wow, now that's a plan I can get on board. Where do I sign?" Cortney announced impressed by Diana's idea. She had long been approached by Wyatt's subordinates to join them including the Fine Gold, but she rejected them all, as she planned to be the protector of the orphanage she grew up in. Believing with her around, it would not be a problem for the orphanage would keep running for another century without a hitch.
But now that the Fine Gold had taken responsibility for the orphanage, there wasn't much for her to do. So hearing Diana's idea which could help numerous other orphans from across the Blossom district and the Southern region in the foreseeable future, she saw a career path she could get behind.
Contrary to Cortney's enthusiasm after hearing Diana's big plan, Wyatt had a disappointed look on his face. Cindy who was in the front pa.s.senger seat noticed his disappointment from the rear-view mirror and Daina felt it as she sat next to him.
As for Cortney, who was cramped in the rear seat behind them with Vivian, she had no idea of Wyatt's reaction but rather she was thinking of possible ways to contribute to Diana's plan. She was good at fighting but they were trying to build orphanages not tear them down. Maybe she could be the orphanage security head like Agent Debra Khan currently was. She would protect the kids by all means.
"Boss, I know the orphanage will require a lot of funds but I was thinking we can start a trust fund and have the wealthy and influential donate to it for the well-fare of the city," Cindy spoke of trying to salvage Diana's idea, as Diana was sh.e.l.l-shocked seeing Wyatt get disappointed over her idea. She expected a pushback or even a rejection but a disappointed look, she did not understand what to make of it. Didn't he just say he hated people who only knew how to take from society and did not contribute back to it?
"Sigh!" Wyatt let out a sigh listening to Cindy's trust proposal. Listening to Wyatt's sigh, even Cortney awakened from her fantasy and intently stared at Wyatt's head from behind.
"Cortney, if you dare to hit me on the head you will pay dearly. Don't forget, you still owe me 999 punches," Sensing Corntey's intent stare on the back of his head Wyatt immediately warned Cortney. It did not take a genius to guess what was going on in her mind.
"Dalton Wyatt, if dare reject to her project. I will fight you even if it costs me my life," Cortney was indeed thinking of hitting Wyatt on the head. But now that she had been warned, she used her arm to lock Wyatt's neck from behind. But no matter how much strength she put in her arm she could not choke him. Frustrated, she said, "Is it about money? I will fund it."
Vivan who was next to Cortney, stared intently at her ready to attack her at any moment. If not for Wyatt asking to stand down she would have long attacked Cortney. Feeling her ill intent, Bloodette's head popped out of Cortney's back and she stared into Vivian's stare, ready to protect Cortney at all cost.
"You will fund the project, with what money?" Wyatt asked Cortney, even though it was not money that made him disappointed in Diana's plan.
"The money from mining blood-rule rocks from Bloodette's dungeon seal and selling her blood-rule pills should be more than enough for the project," Cortney said feeling challenged, As the master of a supreme being and sole owner of a blood-
rule holy cave, Cortney was sitting on a lot of wealth, enough to fund a war let alone running a few orphanages. Regardless of Cortney and Bloodette's personal relationship, the fact that Cortney's origin card hadBloodette 's contract in it did not change not to mention the soul pact card.
Listening to Cortney say how she was going to fund their entire project both Diana and Cindy, who had almost believed that their project was sc.r.a.pped, finally saw a glimmer of hope. Then they eagerly awaited Wyatt's response. After all, they were his subordinates. Even though they were disappointed with Wyatt's reaction to their project, they did rush to blame him and waited to listen to his reason.
"Let go of my neck, genius. First, listen to what I have to say," Wyatt could easily free himself but did not bother to. Then, when Cortney retracted her arm around his neck, he added, "It's not the money I am worried about."
