Lester thought for a bit and then said, "At least $400 million."


    Quinn was speechless for a moment.


    She looked at them both. "You don''t expect me to ask Alexander for the money, do you?"


    Kyleughed. "Mrs. Kennedy, $400 million is nothing to Mr. Kennedy. If you ask, he''d give you $4 billion without blinking."


    Quinn asked, "Didn''t he want The Mellon Group himself? Isn''t he handling it?"


    Kyle replied, "He doesn''t want to take over The Mellon Group. He just wants to avoid future problems. If the shares weren''t in your name, the groupwould already be part of the Kennedy Group." Quinn felt a headacheing on. "Then let him acquire it."


    Kyle added, "Buying it also needs funds, way more than $400 million. Given The Mellon Group''s current state, acquiring it wouldn''t be worth it. Mr. Kennedy wouldn''t do that. So you have to ask him for the money."


    Quinn finally got it. Alexander had called her to The Mellon Group just to get her to ask for help.


    She asked, "What if the funding chain breaks?"


    Lester said, "Then it goes bankrupt. Most of thepany''s business is in civil engineering, and there are many workers to pay. If wages can''t be paid, as the owner, you''d have to bear the risk. You get it, right?" Quinn was momentarily stunned. She imagined scenes from TV dramas where workers hold banners, block thepany, and demand money from her.


    This was thepany he gave her, a big headache!


    Quinn asked again, "How much usable money is left in thepany''s ount now?"


    Lester replied, "About $200 million."


    Quinn was shocked. The Mellon Group was a listedpany, yet there was only this much money in the ount.

    ''How much has Xavier invested?'' Quinn wondered.


    "Let me think about it." Quinn instantly lost interest in The Mellon Group. She stood up and said, "I''m leaving now."


    Watching her leave the conference room, Lester looked at Kyle worriedly. "Mr. Astor, will this work?"


    Kyle gave him a reassuring look. "Don''t worry."


    Lester still had shares in The Mellon Group, so he didn''t want it to go bankrupt. The best solution was for Alexander to acquire it.


    With the Kennedy Group''s support, all of The Mellon Group''s current projects would be secure. Once all the projects arepleted, their returns would be huge.


    The Mellon Group''s previous projects also brought in revenue every month. However, the expenses far exceeded the ie, leading to this awkward situation.

    It was all Xavier''s fault for investing over $20 billion from thepany''s ount, deliberately leaving them with such a huge risk.


    Kyle chatted with Lester for a while and then got up to find Quinn.


    Seeing Quinn waiting in the parking lot, Kyle let out a sigh of relief. He ran over to open the car door for her. "Please get in."


    Quinn got in the car, still looking troubled.


    Kyle asionally nced at her. He cleared his throat and said, "Mrs. Kennedy, if you don''t want to manage thispany, let Mr. Kennedy acquire it."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    "How much would the acquisition cost?" Quinn asked.


    Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Based on the current market value, about $25 billion."


    Quinn smirked. She might as well ask him for the investment.
