Chapter 397

“Why are you so foolish?”
Felicia slowly bent down, squatting on the floor with her hands covering her face.
The coldness slipping through her fingers hit the floor, and a strong feeling of helplessness surged within her.
Roberta’s fate was like this, and so was Carmen’s.
Felicia once believed that by rescuing Roberta, who had been taken to a mountain village, she had saved her from the tragic fate of being passed around and ultimately dying in some
obscure corner.
She also believed that by saving Carmen, who had been isolated and bullied due to rumors, she had changed her fate of jumping off the school rooftop.
But in the end, despite all her efforts, both of them had died because of her.
It felt as if this was all part of some preordained fate. No matter what twists and turns happened along the way, their endings couldn’t be changed, including her own..
Felicia felt someone tap her shoulder. Looking up, she saw the young real estate agent in front of her, handing her a piece of paper.
She raised her head and noticed that the only person left in the house was the agent. She took the
paper and asked, “Where’s the client you showed the house to?”
“They ran off…”
The agent looked helpless. Just now, he had been showing the house to a client who seemed interested, especially since the house was priced lower than the market rate.
But when the client turned around and saw someone crying in the room, they got scared and immediately left.
Felicia was stunned for a moment before standing up from the floor. “So, I’m that scary, huh? Fine, I’ll buy the house. You don’t need to show it to anyone else anymore.”
“Okay!”
The agent, clearly excited, immediately nodded in agreement.
Felicia returned Carmen’s journal where she had found it and left with the agent. After locking the door again, she paid using her card.
She didn’t care about the rest of the process. All she wanted was for no one to touch Carmen’s belongings anymore, and that was all.
Chapp 298
When she returned to her rental apartment, she had barely settled down when her phone rang again. It was from Vincent, the head of Jupiter Group, which she invested in and controlled.
She had a headache and just wanted to rest or take a nap.
Vincent was decisive and wouldn’t usually call unless something significant required her input on a major decision or negotiation.
Felicia answered the call and got straight to the point. “What is it?”
He wasted no time and got to the issue immediately. “Ms. Fuller, the sectors you asked me to monitor have had some developments. Are we going to go ahead with the acquisitions?”
It took her a few seconds to recall which sectors he referred to.
They were some of the less popular industries under the Fuller family.
These industries, however, would become highly popular in the future.
At the last meeting at Jupiter Group, Felicia asked Vincent to monitor these sectors, especially since the Fuller family was near bankruptcy. Once they started selling them off, she instructed him not to hesitate and to acquire them immediately.
Now, the opportunity had arrived.
She replied without hesitation, “Buy them all. If the company doesn’t have enough funds, I can cover the difference.”
“It’s enough, Ms. Fuller. Our game has entered its mature phase, and you may not know this, but our new and old users‘ download and recharge rates have hit an unprecedented peak!”
Even after creating such a success, his voice lacked arrogance, showing a growing sense of steadiness.
He was truly becoming a reliable leader for Jupiter Group.
Felicia understood the hesitation behind his question. He was probably concerned that with the Fuller family going bankrupt, Jupiter Group would be seen as profiting from the family’s downfall, and he worried that she might be upset or angry about it.
