**Chapter 310: Princely Sum**

The time for the annual funding transfer was drawing near, and with it came a weighty decision that pressed heavily on Chloe’s mind. Did she truly comprehend the depth of what terminating their partnership with Myers Group would entail?

By severing ties with Myers Group, she was not merely halting the innovative strides of Lewis Group; she was dangling the very existence of the company over the precipice of financial ruin. The firm, already teetering on the edge of instability, could plunge into bankruptcy if her decision went awry. For years, Lewis Group had relied on the support of Myers Group, yet it had never managed to turn a profit. If Myers Group were to withdraw its investment entirely, the future of Lewis Group would be as uncertain as the weather on a stormy day.

“Chloe,” Arthur began, his voice steady and calm as he adjusted his posture, leaning slightly forward to emphasize his point. He met her gaze with an earnest intensity. “Running a corporation isn’t something you can just decide on a whim. You’re well aware of the current state of Lewis Group; it’s not strong.”

Scott chimed in, stepping closer, his tone urgent yet measured. “Arthur’s right. Lewis Group is in a precarious position, and Myers Group is our most dependable ally. That 500 million investment could provide us with the essential breathing room we need to stabilize and grow.” He paused, his brow furrowing with concern. “Chloe, I admire your ambition to reform the company, but ending the partnership at this critical juncture—after all we’ve been through…”

He sighed, his expression laden with worry, as if he were carrying the weight of the company on his shoulders.

Chloe turned her gaze towards him, a faint smile playing on her lips, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Aren’t you both exhausted from reiterating the same points? From start to finish, it seems you still haven’t grasped the real reason I’m choosing to end our cooperation with Myers Group, have you?”

“What reason?” Arthur asked, his voice tinged with urgency, his gaze locked onto her, waiting for an answer that would clarify the storm brewing in her heart.

“The reason is quite straightforward,” she replied, her voice firm and unwavering. “I refuse to allow Lewis Group to be associated with Myers Group any longer. Even if Lewis Group were to fail, I would rather see it collapse than partner with you again. Is that clear enough for you?”

“Chloe…” Arthur’s voice was a mixture of disbelief and desperation.

“Mr. Myers, I have other pressing matters to attend to,” Chloe interjected, her tone polite yet resolute, gesturing for him to leave.

Arthur remained seated in silence, the weight of her words hanging heavily in the air.

“Chloe, you can’t allow your emotions to dictate your decisions at this moment. Yes, you and Arthur are divorced, but this partnership has been cultivated over many years. You can’t just throw it away without a second thought.” Scott attempted to mediate, his voice softening in an effort to reach her. “Arthur was generous enough to come here personally and speak with you…”

“Even without Myers Group, Lewis Group can find better partners,” Chloe countered, her voice calm and collected. “I genuinely believe this company is capable of achieving greater growth. Within a week, we will announce new partnership projects and actively seek collaborations.”
