Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82

“If this goes on, the one that will suffer the most will be you,” Karina said. With Eulanda out of the picture, the next capable person to become the chairman might just be Lawrence.

Right now, people inside and probably outside the company trusted Lawrence the most. Sofia was simply too young to rule

conglomerate, and many businessmen might see it like this.

Sofia looked at Karina. Right now, her grandmother’s physician is still monitoring her condition. This meant that she needed to wait before she could see Eulanda. First, it was her mother. Then it was Eulanda.

“I need all the specifics that you could find out about the accident,” she answered. Right now, her concern was her grandmother’s well-being. However, she also understood that she was in a very delicate situation right now.

“Mr. Beaumont already stopped the media from releasing the news…” Karina said. “But we cannot hold it for too long. Adam said that someone would probably leak it, and… “The stocks will definitely go down.” Sofia felt a surge of anger towards

Lawrence.

This was already expected from the man, but how dare he use her grandmother’s condition to his advantage? She knew he was hungry for power, and this was his chance to take control of the company. But Sofia wouldn’t let him win. She had to be strong, for her grandmother, for the company, and for herself.

“I won’t let him take everything away from me,” Sofia`said, her voice filled with determination. “I will find out what happened to Grandma, and I will make sure the company is in good hands Karina nodded in agreement.

“We’ll get through this together, Sofia. But for how, you need to rest. You can’t help anyone if you’re exhausted.”

Sofia knew Karina was right. She had been crying for hours, and her body was starting to ache. However, she refused to leave the hospital. “It seems that they are still having a hard time knowing the reason for the accident,” Alexander suddenly chimed in. He just walked in after a phone call with Josef. “My people are already working on it. However… I agree with Karina. You need rest.”

“I don’t want to leave my grandmother,” Sofia was foolish enough to let Lawrence hurt Eunice- her mother. Now, Sofia would never let him do something to harm her grandmother. “I already arranged security to secure this place. You need to rest,” Alexander uttered.

“He is right, Sof…” Karina said. “Don’t worry, I will stay here for a few more hours and I will call you if anything comes up but right now, you need to go home. You have a company to run. Staying here and crying… wouldn’t do you any good— or your company any good.”

Again, Sofia knew that her friend was right. Taking a deep breath, Sofia finally conceded. The weight of her responsibilities settled heavily on her shoulders. Tears welled up again, blurring her vision. “Alright,” she choked out, her voice thick with emotion. “I’ll go home and get some rest. But promise me you’ll call the moment there’s any news about Grandma?”

Karina squeezed her hand gently, her eyes filled with concern. “Of course, Sofia. I won’t leave your side until you’re back.” Alexander, ever the pragmatist, offered his arm. “Let’s go, Sofia. We can come back later, once you’ve had some rest.” Sofia nodded, leaning into Alexander’s supportive hold as they left the hospital room.

As they walked down the sterile hallway, a wave of exhaustion washed over her. Grief, worry, and the weight of the company’s future were a heavy burden to bear. But amidst the storm of emotions, a tiny flicker of hope remained. At least, she was not alone. Alexander and Karina were still with her.

Alexander then drove her back to his place, which was just minutes away from the hospital. Sofia barely registered them entering the building, her mind still swimming with a million worries. Alexander, sensing her state, took charge gently.
