Chapter 735
"What about the budget?" Joseph frowned.
"Didn't we allocate a considerable amount for you?"
"You did, but hiring the perfumer cost a lot of money.As you also know, the top perfumers are
expensive, so the budget has gotten a bit...tight for other areas."
Joseph flipped to the expenditure report, furrowed his brows, and stared at the numbers, upset.
"Didn’t I tell you not to overspend, even though the budget is considerable? Why have you overspent
by so much? What kind of top perfumer have you hired? The fee was ridiculously high! Were you
ripped off or what?" He poked the numbers on the report with dismay.
"N-No!"
Damian waved and hurriedly explained, "I approached the top international perfumer through a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtconnection.We've put out the promotion.Google it, and you'll know how famous the perfumer is!"
Scurrying to the computer, he bent over and keyed in a series of alphabets.
"Look, William has won several international awards and is a noted authority on perfumery.We can
check these things online.Besides, I’ve already tried the perfume he created, and it’s truly nice.Trust
me, Dad, we will succeed.The money is well- spent."
Joseph read the introduction on the computer and held his chin, hesitant.The truth was he did not know
much about perfumery.He raised his head and asked, "What did your sister say about this?"
"She’s fully behind me.She thinks it’s a great idea and says I’ve done well,"
Damian quickly responded.
Joseph cocked his head and gave it a thought but could not tell what was wrong with this situation.
Since Damian had already spent so much money, they could only move forward.He nodded.
"All right.Do it.If you run short of money, I'll ask the financial department to allocate more.
"Still, you must remember! No matter how much you’re spending, the money must be well-spent.As
long as it is worth the money, then do it.Just don’t become like your mother!"
He still felt upset over the ten million dollars.
That was ten million dollars that belonged to Joseph.
Fortunately, he was quick-witted and claimed it was a gift for Eloise, winning him a good name and
protecting the company’s image and stability.
Otherwise, it would be a ridiculous waste of money.
Damian smiled.He knew about his mother going to the auction.
After the business discussion, he wanted to mention it, but his father raised it first instead.
"Dad, Mom simply wanted you to give her a gift.You know, all these years..."
"What? That she has suffered? Thal it’s nut been easy for her? Has she starved? Did she have no
clothes to keep her warm?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElizaheth had nagged at him so often that these words set him off automatically.
"Yes, I cannot make her my official wife, and it was unfair to her for all these years, but I’m doing my
best to make it up to you and her.
"Ever since you were young, your mom didn’t need to go to work and worry about money.From you
going to kindergarten to secondary school and then to university, I was there to pay for all the
expenses.Even now, Pin is getting you involved in the company one step at a time so you can take
over one day.Tell me, what is she not satisfied with?!"
As Joseph roared, Damian dared not dare say anything and simply listened.
"We've agreed on six million dollars, yet she raised the price to ten million at the auction.
Does she think it’s so easy to make money? She blamed me for giving the necklace to Eloise, but
could I have told the reporters that I was divorcing the woman? "What about the Tanner Corporation?
What about the share price? Will the old-timers in the company attack me for this? Has your mom
thought about these things?!"
