The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

---- Chapter 109: New Investment ~ Soraya ~ "Let me take care of exposing the Rowans," Jacob said while putting away the last plate on the table. "I was planning to tell Cedric Montclair later this week." "Later this week?" Soraya asked, raising a brow. "You are going to tell him? Won't he wonder why you are looking into Claire's father?" "Just let me handle it," he said assuringly. "Trust me. Send me all the details about Marvin's gambling debt." "You have things to do?" Jacob asked. "| was planning to trade and check NeuroBloom's ads," Soraya responded. "Go ahead.

I'll catch up in your room," Jacob encouraged. Soraya then went to her room and started her trade. She already had three monitors on her work table. She assigned two screens for the trading and one for NeuroBloom. She watched the video ads that Lyra had posted online and studied the conversion. It wasn't picking up as she had hoped, so she took out her phone. She hadn't realized how her friends had been sending her messages. Lyra: [Is the single lady going to party with us?] Silas: [Did you get your divorce certificate?] Lyra had formed a chat group between the three of them.

Soraya responded: [Sorry, guys, I'm with Jacob, but we ---- can celebrate tomorrow.] Lyra: [Oooh. Well, of course, you two would celebrate it. Enjoy,] Silas: [Please tell me, you were bored to death.] Soraya: [(roll on the floor emoji) | wasn't bored.] Lyra: [Hahaha!] Soraya: [Lyra, can you reach out to some therapy centers or learning centers and offer the subscription for free for NeuroBloom?

Perhaps we can start our exposure from there] Lyra: [Sure thing, Boss|] Soraya's agreement with Lyra was a profit share cut for both Valmont Privée and NeuroBloom; that way, her friend would also work harder on the marketing side of both ventures. After texting Emil with a few instructions, Soraya focused on her trade. Jacob entered her room moments later and began reviewing the documents Annette had shared. It took him only an hour to conclude, "The property can still be saved." He showed Soraya the papers and suggested, "The damages to some units and common areas can be repaired.

If you want, my company can do the construction. You'll need to hire a new property manager and rebrand the building." Soraya smiled at him and said, "Thank you. I'll handle this when we return from our trip." ---- "Mmmm." After that, Jacob moved his chair behind Soraya and hugged her from behind. Soraya laughed. "Don't you have work to do, Mr. Steel?" Jacob leaned much closer and kissed her cheek repeatedly. He responded, "I've been working hard for far too long. | would like to work on you instead." "Work on me? How?" Soraya asked, her face burning at his suggestion.

"On winning your heart," he said, smirking before burying his face in her neck. "Jacob, the tickets!" She had to push him away. His facial hair teased her neck. "You are disturbing me. How am | supposed to earn my first billion like this?" Pressing his lips on her ear, he suggested, "If you marry me, you'll become an instant billionaire." Soraya's mouth fell open. She turned to him, giving varied expressions, which he found amusing. She then remembered how they had had this conversation. So, apparently, marrying him was the solution! "|-Um-" She did not respond.

Instead, she focused on her screen, trying hard not to mind him. "Teach me,' he said, shifting his gaze to the laptop. "I understand trends, supply and demand curves, and even how news can shake the market. But how exactly do you make a difference?" Soraya studied Jacob's serious expression. His lashes were long and dark, his nose flawlessly defined, and his lips tempting enough to steal a kiss. The rough stubble ---- on his jaw gave him an edge that made his perfection even more alluring. He truly was a distraction.

Still, addressing his question, she replied while pointing to her screen, "I think in decimals." He leaned closer, his breath fanning her skin. "Decimals?" "Yes." Her voice softened, but her tone carried authority. " This movement here looks meaningless, but it's been repeating every third cycle for weeks. Everyone else misses it because they're focused on the obvious peaks and valleys. But this-" She tapped on her screen. "This is where the real edge is. It tells you the behavior of the market before the big moves happen." Jacob tilted his head, intrigued. "So you're reading its...

habits." "Exactly," Soraya replied, smiling. "It's like a person. If you watch closely, it reveals its patterns. | catalog them, note their timings, then align my trades with those details. That' s why my wins are consistent." "What about you, Mr. Steel? How do you earn so much money?" Soraya asked. "I'm a big risk taker, Ara,' Jacob said. "In business, you have to think big to earn big. | don't waste time on small fries; | go after major construction projects, especially government-funded ones. | back large-scale ventures.

In fact, I'm even planning to invest in a new power plant, but we'll talk about that later. That's a decision I'll need to ---- include you in." "Include me, why?" Soraya asked. "Because the location of the project is far up north, and with the scale of the investment, I'd want to monitor it,' Jacob said, looking at Soraya. "I might need to move, Ara, but... I'm not moving without you and Angela." Soraya blinked. She was stunned that Jacob would take her into consideration over this major business deal. "You...

you don't have to involve me in that," she said, though deep down she disliked the idea of living far away from him, especially now, when he was becoming such an important part of her. "There's still time to think it through," Jacob said gently. " You should consider it for long-term investment too, and you'll naturally want to take responsibility for your share. Ara, power plants are considered major infrastructure investments.

They usually don't give explosive short-term gains like trading stocks, but they're stable and generate massive cash flows over time." "You can still work on NeuroSentinel 3.0 when the time comes, or whatever projects you have with Aegis Core System. In fact, your work can be done remotely,' Jacob suggested. "And we can always travel back together to check on our local business here in Cedar Heights and Belridge." "I'll take you to the site one of these days, to help you decide, but promise me, you'll think about it,' Jacob said.

Soraya could tell from Jacob's unwavering look that this was an investment he wouldn't walk away from. She was ---- torn, unaware that the coming circumstances would shift sharply, pushing her into a choice she never expected to make so soon.
