She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 281

"If you don't want me, I might join Jameson Tech," Zane Sutton said softly. "Rowan has been trying to recruit me."

Lyra felt a sharp twinge of jealousy, but she managed a tight nod. In her past life, Zane had gone to work for Jameson Tech and thrived there for years. It made sense. Mr. Sutton's company would eventually go to his daughter, Maisie. Even if Maisie didn't have a single business bone in her body, Vivienne would meticulously select a capable husband to join their family and run the empire. People always favored their own flesh and blood. But Vivienne's absolute, ruthless indifference toward her stepson was still jarring to witness.

When Lyra got home, she sought out Delilah to ask about Vivienne's past.

Delilah thought for a moment before letting out a soft sigh. "Years ago, Alistair Jameson wanted your father to marry Vivienne. She agreed to the arrangement, but your father was already in love with me, so he turned it down. Not long after that, Vivienne married Mr. Sutton, who was already divorced with a child."

Lyra was stunned. She always assumed Vivienne hated her simply because she felt Lyra wasn't good enough for Rowan. She had no idea the animosity was rooted in a decades-old grudge.

Lyra retreated to her room, shutting the door behind her. She tried to read, but a knock soon interrupted her thoughts.

Caleb walked in. "Why didn't you go into the office today?"

"Just tired."

"By the way, I couldn't find the corporate seal for the Jameson contract. I looked everywhere."
