Chapter 476 An Unexpected Alliance

Wasn’t that Chloe’s lawyer? Zachary. Back when Chloe nearly died, this was the guy who got hurt. Jennifer’s eyes flickered at the memory.
Zachary strode in like he owned the place. He scanned the room, caught everyone staring, and flashed a grin. “Sorry, you bunch of mutineers. Had to swing by the notary’s office to get some documents certified -ran a few minutes late. So, how far along is this little drama of yours?”
The room bristled at his words.
Mutineers?
Drama?
This
guy had some nerve.
“Who the hell are you?” Mateo stepped forward, puffing up. “You know where you are? Talking like that—”
Zachary raised an eyebrow, gave him a once–over, and snorted. “Look at this face. This style. Clearly better–looking than your boss over there. You really can’t tell who I am?”
Mateo’s face went purple. “You arrogant little–this is Myers Group headquarters. You show up uninvited, running your mouth–security! Throw him out.”

Zachary ignored him completely, turning back to Mateo with a pleasant smile. “Myers Group. Billions in valuation. How’d they end up with a room full of idiots running the place?”
The executives bristled, some stepping forward to confront him.
Then Zachary casually slung an arm around Joel’s shoulders like they were old buddies
Half the executives nearly tripped over themselves stopping mid–stride
What the hell? Joel was buddy–buddy with this asshole! And grinning about it?
“Joel.” Mateo’s voice was sharp. “What’s going on? Why are you with dis–He jerked his chin at Zachary

Joel smiled easily. “Mr. Bailey, Zachary and I were at the notary’s office together. Getting some documents certified. Like he said–colleagues, at least for this matter.”
Mateo stared at him blankly. Something about Joel’s smile felt off. Wrong.
“Joel.” Jennifer’s voice cut through, sharp with suspicion. “You’re Myers Group’s lawyer. What are you doing cozying up to him? Whose side are you on?”
