“Ms. Williams, would you mind handling the payment?” Carolyn gestured toward the shopping cart, which was now overflowing.
Jennifer’s expression darkened, but she paid for Carolyn’s items. The total neared five figures. With a final, displeased glance, Jennifer drove off.
Once on the road, her grip on the steering wheel was white–knuckled. That Carolyn was a piece of work- she’d have to be monitored closely.
The information Carolyn had provided, especially the last bit—that Chloe’s child was fathered by some unknown man, meaning Arthur had been thoroughly deceived!
Clearly, Arthur was completely in the dark.
He was still hung up on Chloe, unable to move on. What if she revealed this secret to him? Would he finally let go, or would his lingering affection twist into resentment?
Chloe… just how long had she been hiding this?
If this came to light, would Chloe even have the right to hold onto the Myers family shares?
Even with Charles‘ backing, would her position remain tenable?
It seemed she needed to make a move.
Zachary was discharged from the hospital and returned to the office.
Immediately, he was handed the files concerning the Lewis Group and Myers Group share transfers. Just like that, Chloe’s name was attached to assets worth billions of dollars.
“Wow, Chloe, you really know how to welcome a guy back. Straight from the hospital bed to a mountain of work! Your confidence in me is truly overwhelming.” Zachary sighed dramatically, then looked up at Chloe with exaggerated, starry–eyed admiration. “Chloe, I’m formally requesting a pay raise!”
“Request granted.” Chloe offered a faint smile and slid another document across the desk to him. “Since you’re on a roll, handle this one too.”
“You’re the absolute best! So generous! Chloe, you’re really- Zachary’s effusive praise died in his throat as he scanned the new document. He froze. “Chloe… you’re transferring all your assets and holdings to Robert? Why? And… wait, why is my name on here too?”
Chloe merely smiled.
Zachary looked closer. He instinctively straightened up, his playful demeanor vanishing as he stared seriously at Chloe. “This… You’re dividing everything up? What’s going on?” A cold knot of dread formed in his stomach. This kind of comprehensive distribution felt like someone putting their affairs in order before… stepping away.
It left him deeply unsettled.

“That’s right. You, and the others–I’ve allocated something for each of you.” Chloe raised an eyebrow. “You’ve all put your trust in me. Isn’t it only fair I share the fruits of that?”
Seeing the worry etched on Zachary’s face, she added lightly, “You just said I was generous, the best boss. I have to live up to the title.”
Hearing this, Zachary was so moved he almost welled up. All his earlier unease evaporated instantly.
These were real shares! A life–changing amount of money!
Chloe had divided her Lewis Group holdings among them–not just him, but Melinda, Oralia, everyone in their core group had received a portion.
“I have to call Oralia and Melinda right now.” Zachary was already pulling out his phone, looking utterly thrilled, not at all like someone who had just tried to guilt–trip his boss for a raise after a hospital stay.
Watching his excitement, Chloe smiled quietly to herself. Just then, her phone buzzed with a message from Eugene.
He wanted to have dinner and had already chosen a place.
