Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1168

Chapter 1168

Vans held Nina as if she was a doll, and paced around as he continued calmly, 'My parents met before my dad took over the Stanley family."

At that time, Lionel Stanley, who was now his father, was just an ordinary employee working in the Stanley family's business.

Vans's mother, Lillian Collins, was Lionel's superior due to her outstanding performance at work. For a woman to rise to such a position in the company wasn’t easy, but it also brought a lot of gossip and backbiting.

Most of it revolved around insinuations that a woman was in such a role. How else could a woman reach such heights and be in charge of so many men?

Was it because of her professional skills?

Of course not.

It could only be because of her prowess in the bedroom!

Amidst all those rumors, Lionel was the only one who stepped up to defend her. Lillian began to develop a slight liking for her colleague. She was more willing to have him along for business trips.

At that time, it was merely a fondness. Lillian had never considered quitting her job, or engage in an office romance with her colleague. It was clearly stated in the company's rules that office romances were not allowed.

She had worked tirelessly to climb the corporate ladder to her current position as a division head, and she wasn't ready to throw it all away. She certainly wouldn't do anything to jeopardize her future.

But one night, while on a business trip with Lionel, she was unwittingly dragged into the power struggle among the Stanley family heirs.

Lionel was drugged by the eldest Stanley sibling.

His entire body trembled, and his face burned red. Yet, he tried his best to maintain his composure. He urged Lillian, who had come to his room to discuss preparations for the upcoming business meeting, to leave his room quickly.

At that moment, Lionel's eyes were bloodshot from the effects of the drug.

He urged Lillian to leave as quickly as possible.
