Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 154

Jenson’s mood did a complete one-eighty. “What’s going on?”

“I’m not sure, Mr. Smith. In just the last two days, we’ve lost more than ten business partners. They don’t want to work with us anymore, and they’ve pulled their investments too. Mr. Smith, what should we do?”

Half of their most important partners and investors were gone in only two days.

“More than ten? How is that even possible?” Jenson was freaking out.

“I tried calling you, Mr. Smith. But you told me those accounts didn’t matter and not to interrupt you.”

The memory hit Jenson all at once. He’d been so wrapped up with his son’s illness that he’d barely paid attention to the company. LYLX was their number one priority, so that was the only account he kept an eye on. He hadn’t realized so many other companies had already cut them off.

Why was this happening?

“Mr. Smith, we’re bleeding clients and investors. If we don’t figure this out soon, the company’s finances are going to collapse.”

“I know that! I’ll go to the office tomorrow. No, actually, I’ll go straight to LYLX headquarters and get some answers myself.”

He could live with losing a few partners, but not LYLX. That company was a global powerhouse. If Smith Corporation lost their support, he didn’t even want to imagine what would come next.

“LYLX doesn’t want to work with us anymore?”

Milana had been listening in, and she looked like she’d just been handed a death sentence.

When she came home and found out Smith Corporation worked with LYLX, she was so proud. Even her friends were jealous, always asking if she could hook them up with discounts. But LYLX never did sales, except for VIPs, so it wasn’t like she could help.

“It’s pretty bad. I’m going to LYLX tomorrow to talk to someone in charge. Sandy, for now, just focus on getting better. Let your face heal.” He realized he’d been too harsh earlier. His daughter had gotten hurt because of them. He couldn’t bring up anything else, not today.

Lydia drove Connor to the Capital, making the trip in just an hour and a half.

She was so fast that Connor was actually impressed. She really was a bike queen. If there weren’t speed limits, he guessed she could have made it in an hour flat. No wonder Aiden never managed to catch up.

“Give me your address. I’ll drop you off first,” Lydia said, glancing over at him. She still had a ton of things to deal with after that.

Connor raised an eyebrow. “All those people are at the police station now, and the cops are arresting the Parkers. You’re really not going to bring me to watch the drama?”
