When Vincent broached the topic of additional funding, there was a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. While Felicia was known as the daughter of Khogend''s wealthiest family, the Fuller name had taken a significant hittely.
Their plummeting shares, boycotts from disgruntled consumers, and financial instability were all over the news. If things continued this way, the Fuller family would be lucky to scrape into the top 50 on the wealth rankings, let alone hold their former title as the city''s elite. Felicia noticed his concern and gave a reassuring smile. "I am me. The Fuller family is the Fuller family. Don''t mix the two. As for the additional funding, don''t worry. I''ll wire the money within three days. Same terms as before-I''ll want equity in return." Vincent immediately instructed one of them to draft an additional investment agreement.
Once the paperwork was signed, Felicia leaned back in her chair, her mind already turning to how she''d raise more funds. It was winter break the next day, and the tourism project she''d been eyeing in Alverton would kick off after the new year. Everything was lining up. Vincent''s voice pulled her from her thoughts as she mulled over her next move.
He began hesitantly, "Ms. Fuller, since ourpany''s growing, I think it''s time for a rebrand. We''re thinking of a new name that fits our future. Will you approve?"
Curious, Felicia raised an eyebrow. "What do you have in mind?"
"Well, we''ve been calling ourselves Hexagon because there were only six of us when we started," he exined. "But now, thepany has grown beyond just us. We want something that reflects our ambition." Felicia took a sip of her tea. "Fair enough. What''s the new name?"
"Jupiter," he said with a grin.
Felicia choked on her tea, nearly spitting it out. She stared at him in disbelief. "I''m sorry, what did you just say?"
Vincent quickly handed her a napkin,ughing nervously. "Jupiter! The biggest in the sr system. We think it''s a name that represents growth and scale. What do you think?"
Felicia wiped her mouth, still processing the shock. "Jupiter, huh? Well... it''s perfect."
She didn''t need to think twice-it was more than perfect.
As she stared at him, something clicked. She had met Vincent twice before but never asked for his name. Now, with everything falling into ce, she finally asked, "By the way,
what''s your name?"
If her memory served right, the CEO of Jupiter Group the verypany that had taken down Fuller Group in her past life was named Vincent McLaren.
Vincent adjusted his sses casually, a light smile on his face. "Well, it''s about time, Ms. Fuller. It took you long enough to ask for my name."
He paused briefly, then said, "I''m Vincent McLaren."
It felt as if a deafening noise exploded in Felicia''s mind. The sound of gears grinding together, unstoppable and inevitable, echoed in her thoughts.
That immense force called fate had arrived silently, pressing down on her with overwhelming weight.
At that moment, Felicia knew the Fuller family''s downfall was inevitable.
She couldn''t breathe for a moment, the enormity of the situation pressing down on her.
Felicia tapped her fingers lightly on the table topose herself. She took a deep breath and smiled. So, this was how things were going to y out.
The Fuller family was under heavy

to sell off some of their assets.
Hopefully, by then, Jupiter Group would be in a strong enough position to snap up a few pieces and expand their reach.
Felicia instructed Vincent, "Keep my identity private. No one can know I''m an investor in Jupiter Group, let alone thergest shareholder."
"Got it!" Vincent nodded in agreement.

The powerhouse that Jupiter Group had be in herst life was hers this time around.
