My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 319

The moment the door clicked shut, Lucian leaned back in his executive chair and closed his eyes.

A discrepancy in the cost accounting of the Southeast Asian Division—this could either be a minor hiccup or a catastrophic breach.

On the surface, it could just be a statistical error that required a simple fix.

But on a deeper level, if someone was intentionally cooking the books, there was undoubtedly a much darker conspiracy at play.

Landon...

Lucian hadn't expected him to move this aggressively.

He had been back in the country for less than a month, and he was already launching a full-scale assault.

It seemed his time abroad hadn't been spent lounging around after all.

Lucian opened his eyes, snatched the desk phone, and dialed a number.

"Christian, set up a mandatory video conference with the regional heads of the Southeast Asian Division for tomorrow morning."

"Right away, Mr. Langford."

After hanging up, Lucian stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The Langford Group headquarters was the tallest skyscraper in the financial district.

It was lonely at the top.

But since his uncle's faction refused to surrender, he was more than ready to go to war.

They would see exactly who would be left standing in the ashes.

Lucian stood there for a long time.

Finally, he pulled out his phone and sent Seraphina a quick text: What are you up to?

A reply buzzed in seconds: Just got Hudson down for a nap. Susan made me some soup, so I'm drinking that. What about you?

Staring at the glowing text, the icy rage in Lucian's eyes slowly began to melt away.

He typed back a single word: Missing you.

There was a brief pause before she replied with a blushing emoji.

The corners of Lucian's lips curled upward. "I'll head home as soon as I wrap things up here."

"Okay, take your time. Work is important, and I can handle things here," Seraphina replied.

"Will do."

Lucian stared out at the sprawling cityscape, lost in thought for a moment.
