Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84

“To be honest, I expected her to have something up her sleeve,” Miss Brianna Paine snorted as she smiled at Lawrence. Right after the meeting, Brianna chose to go to Lawrence’s office.

“What were you expecting? She knows what’s good for her. Without Eulanda or her mother, she would be useless. Besides…” Lawrence smiled. He still possessed a lot of things up his sleeve.

What Lawrence did not include in that meeting was the fact that Eulanda’s boyfriend Simone was with her during the crash. However, unlike Eulanda, the poor man did not survive. Lawrence knew that Sofia was aware of this.

This news alone was enough to put Eulanda in a bad light.

“Don’t forget what you promised me when you finally took over the company,” Brianna smirked. She had known Eulanda for a few years now Sadly, friendships don’t exist in business. There are only profits.

“Of course,” Lawrence said. “I don’t need

to

you remind me of such things.”

“Still, you need to be wary. Cornered rats usually fight back,” Miss Paine said.

“She’s more bark than bite, Brianna,” Lawrence chuckled, leaning back in his chair. “Sofia’s a talented woman; I’ll give her that, but she lacks the ruthlessness this company demands. She’s too sentimental, too attached to the past.”

Brianna nodded a predatory glint in her eyes. “Agreed. But underestimating your opponent is never a wise move. Remember, she still has access to the company’s resources, and she might just surprise us.”

Lawrence scoffed. “Let her try. I’ve been planning for this moment for years. Eulanda’s accident was simply the final push I needed. With her out of the picture, and her precious granddaughter lacking the stomach for a fight, the company is practically mine for the taking.”

“Since it seems that you already have everything taken care of, then… I believe my worries are for nothing,” Brianna smiled. She then got up. “I will see you again… Chairman.” She then walked out of Lawrence’s office. The moment she left, the smile on Lawrence’s face vanished.

He was winning. Everyone watching the show would know that.

However, a part of him seemed to think that he still missed something crucial.

“Are you certain that the Beaumont Empire is not making a move?” he asked Min, who was standing behind him.

“No, sir. Mr. Beaumont is not doing anything at all.”

Lawrence frowned. By now, he expected Alexander Beaumont to put up a fight to support Sofia. He expected the man to secretly buy some shares too. However, it seems that his initial analysis of Sofia and Alexander’s relationship was wrong.

The Alexander that he knew from the business world would never do anything that would not give him profit. That man must have agreed to protect Sofia only because of the shares that she holds inside the Beaumont Empire,

It seems that Alexander was not planning to get involved.

While that is good, Lawrence finds it too unbelievable.

Alexander is a businessman like him. The Beaumont Empire had been known for its ruthless takeovers. So, it wouldn’t make sense for him not to take advantage of this opportunity and swallow the whole LH GROUP.

“Keep watching,” Lawrence said. He cannot exactly just focus on this man alone as he has so many things going on right now. He looked at the time. Tomorrow, the shipment that would change his life would arrive in the US. William Clarence already informed him that everything would go smoothly.

This time, Lawrence was more confident as Eulanda- who had been secretly sabotaging him- did not have the means to do it anymore.

Very well….

He smiled. Perhaps he was worrying out of nothing.

Everything is going his way, is there a need to think about useless things?

“Sir…” Min interrupted his stupor.

“What is it?” Lawrence asked.
