Time-Limited Love: A Contract Expired, Not Renewed novel Chapter 343

Zinnia waved her hand dismissively, her expression unconcerned. “It’s nothing, you’re not wrong.”

Yuri pressed his lips together, a smile spreading across his face.

“By the way, for next semester’s Medical Student Innovation Competition, are you leading a team?” he asked.

“Yeah, I’m heading the oncology research group. Our project proposal is already set.”

Yuri grinned at that. “What a coincidence. I’m supervising a neuroscience project—basic research in neurosurgery. Looks like we might end up as rivals.”

As he spoke, he put his fists together in a playful gesture and said, “I hope Ms. Quinn will go easy on us.”

Zinnia laughed, about to reply, but at that moment her phone started to ring.

It was a number she didn’t recognize—a landline.

She answered, “Hello, who’s this?”

On the other end, the caller introduced themselves. Zinnia paused for a moment. “The Property Registry?”

After the person explained the situation, Zinnia answered distractedly, “Alright, I understand. Thank you.”

She hung up, her brow furrowed in silence.

The person from the Property Registry had told her Landon had transferred ownership of more than a dozen properties in the heart of Veridian City to her name, and she needed to come in and sign the paperwork.

She suddenly remembered the changes Landon had made to the divorce agreement that day. Back then, she’d been so focused on getting everything finalized quickly, she hadn’t even read the revised terms carefully.

Was this what he’d changed?

As she was piecing it together, her phone chimed with a text alert from her bank.

The string of zeros in the notification almost made her lose count.

She read it over several times, her eyes widening, a cold sweat breaking out on her back.

Ten billion dollars—wired directly into her account. She was stunned.

Zinnia didn’t know much about how big corporations operated, but surely even for Landon, moving ten billion dollars in cash was no small thing.

She frowned, uneasy.

As tempting as it was, she couldn’t bring herself to accept so much.

The original agreement—she’d signed it herself. The compensation Landon had offered, she could accept without guilt.

But this extra amount? She couldn’t, in good conscience, just take it.

“I need to go home for a bit,” she told Yuri, then hurried out of the office.

When she got home, she dug out the signed divorce papers and looked over the clause Landon had changed.

Everything except Royal Bay—all of Landon’s properties, plus any liquid assets he could move.

Zinnia stared at the document, speechless. She never imagined that divorcing someone could land her on the world’s richest list.
