Reborn Rich: Prices Dropped, My Savings Didn't novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Chapter 194: Hitting Someone

The property management guy pulled his water truck to the side of the road, sticking his head out the window to look at the two little ginger cats. "Those two little guys, they showed up around here at the start of spring. One of the young women from our office feeds them regularly."

"We don’t really have any stray animals in the complex, just these two cats who pop up out of nowhere. I haven’t seen them for a few days, actually."

"Be careful, Miss Sterling. Don’t let them scratch or bite you. They’re strays, after all, and it’d be a real pain if you got hurt."

Cecilia Sterling smiled and thanked him, then watched as the man slowly drove the water truck away. The fine mist it sprayed refracted the light, creating a rainbow-colored halo.

"Meow..."

The little ginger cat rubbed its fluffy head against Cecilia Sterling’s hand, looking utterly adorable.

"Do you want to come home with me?" Cecilia Sterling asked the kitten, her expression gentle.

"Meow..."

"Sigh." Cecilia Sterling let out a soft sigh and slowly stood up. ’There’s often no one home these days, so I can’t have a pet. Otherwise, I would’ve gotten one ages ago.’

The two ginger kittens circled Cecilia Sterling’s feet twice before darting into the roadside bushes and vanishing from sight.

Cecilia Sterling didn’t dwell on it. She drove home and started a video call with her mother.

When the call connected, Jasmine Sterling was at her sister’s shop. Cecilia Sterling saw this and asked in surprise, "Mom, isn’t my uncle out of the hospital yet?"

"He’s out, but his burn can’t get wet yet. The shop is all steamy and humid, and since I don’t have much else to do, it’s no trouble to help your aunt out for a bit."

Cecilia Sterling nodded in understanding.

Jasmine Sterling looked to be in excellent spirits. Her skin was firm and smooth, her complexion was rosy, and she had even lost some weight.

’Looks like those beauty treatments and Dance classes were worth it.’ The results were particularly noticeable on her mother, making her look much younger than before.

"Mom, I saw Mr. Jennings yesterday," Cecilia Sterling said bluntly.

Jasmine Sterling’s eyes widened in surprise. "You saw him? It’s been so long with no news, I thought you hadn’t even contacted him."

Her daughter had mentioned wanting to approach the Jennings Group about a new project, but Jasmine Sterling figured a corporation that massive wouldn’t be easy to partner with. Since her daughter hadn’t brought it up again, she had assumed the matter was likely dead in the water.

She never expected Cecilia to suddenly announce she had met him.

Cecilia then told her mother what had happened the day before. She didn’t need to go into too much detail, just enough for her mother to know that she was truly investing and earning money. This would give her mother a sense of where her wealth was coming from, so she wouldn’t worry whenever Cecilia spent money.

A partnership with the Jennings Group had unquestionable credibility. In the future, when her mother came to Lorcain, she wouldn’t have any more doubts.

"In that case, this Mr. Jennings has helped you out immensely!" Jasmine Sterling exclaimed.

Cecilia Sterling nodded. "He did. Mr. Jennings didn’t even think twice about it. He put us in direct contact with their department head."

"Then you must thank him properly."

"He’s the chairman of the Jennings Group; he doesn’t want for anything. As long as our project is good enough, it will be a major asset for the Jennings Group, too. The best outcome is for this partnership to be a win-win for everyone."

Jasmine Sterling didn’t understand the intricacies of business, but she knew that when someone helps you, you must thank them. It was a matter of common courtesy.

Just as she hung up, Yvonne Sterling arrived. Jasmine pulled her over and asked, "Yvonne, do you think we could ship some of our roasted meats to Lorcain?"
