The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1080

These small companies were all side investments The Williams Group picked up while expanding its business. The Williams Group had been reaping the rewards of venture capital for years, casting a wide net and investing here and there. Sure, a few of those investments had paid off, but compared to the returns Nora once achieved, they were hardly worth mentioning.

Nora had spoiled everyone’s expectations. Now, even a return multiplied several dozen times was considered child’s play in their eyes. If a company failed to show promise within the set time frame, no one could be bothered to manage it further. Everyone’s energy was limited—who had the time to waste on a hopeless project?

Skyler looked every bit the proud father as his daughter was showered with praise. “You’re all too kind,” he said modestly.
