No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1249

Ivy was confused by Mia's request. Why would Mia suddenly demand to meet the boss of PZ Group? Could it be that she was starting to doubt something?

She gently asked, "Why would you want to meet PZ Group's boss, Mia?"

"It's my money being invested, so I have to be cautious. If I end up losing everything, it'd mean I've squandered the only thing my dad left me."

As Mia spoke, her eyes never left Ivy, and she tried to catch any trace of a lie. She would never have seen Ivy's true colors if it weren't for Noelle.

Ivy calmly replied, "I understand this isn't a small amount of money. Being cautious is the right thing to do, but PZ Group refunded your investment as promised, didn't they? That alone proves PZ Group is reliable."

"Ivy, you seem rather reluctant for me to meet the boss of PZ Group."

"That's not what I mean, but the boss is very low profile and lives abroad most of the time. Meeting him won't be easy, and you aren't recovered either."

Mia looked down and murmured, "Forget it then. I'm a pretty timid person, anyway. I guess safer and conservative investments suit me better."

"There's no need to worry so much, Mia. I've been investing for years without a single issue," Ivy said. She was beginning to feel anxious after seeing how stubborn Mia was.

If Mia backed out for good, all her years of effort would go to waste.

She forced herself to stay calm and continued, "Just tell me if you have any concerns. I'd never harm you. I just want your money to receive the biggest returns and live up to what your dad entrusted you with."

Looking her in the eye, Mia said, "I've always had a question on my mind. Didn't you feel the slightest resentment that my dad left everything to me?"

Ivy could clearly tell she was being tested. She quickly softened her expression and replied, "I was never attached to money. Back then, I just felt a little disappointed for Ethan's sake, nothing more."

"So, you did hold something against my dad, didn't you?"

…

After getting in the car, Ivy's expression turned cold. Owen asked, "Boss, did Ms. Cantrell agree to reinvest?"

"No. She used to be timid and indecisive, but ever since Noelle showed up, she's getting harder to control."

Just thinking about how Noelle had ruined so many of her plans had Ivy seething with rage.

Owen suggested, "Shall we just get rid of Noelle? That way, she won't be able to interfere anymore."

"You think I haven't considered that? If we do, we'll leave behind a trail, and it'll be too easy to get caught.

"What matters right now is closing the investment net. If we fail now, everything we've worked for over the years will go to waste. And if that happens, how will I explain to those people behind us?"
