Chloe looked into Lilian’s eyes and felt a chill run down her spine. Her voice shook. “You… you wouldn’t dare. No matter what, you’re still my dad’s daughter. People would call you cold–blooded and heartless if you did that.”
Lilian laughed. “You think I give a damn what people think? Chloe, this is your final warning. If I catch you pulling stunts behind my back one more time, I’m following through on everything I just said. Go ahead and doubt me if you want, but don’t come crying to me when it happens. My patience has a limit.”
Chloe stared at her. She knew Lilian wasn’t bluffing.
She didn’t even remember how she managed to leave the Skyreach building. She was completely out of it. Lilian didn’t bother much with the other woman, Amy.
A woman whose brain was rotted by jealousy wasn’t worth the time, though Lilian made sure to keep all the evidence of her lies just in case.
Meanwhile, at Soren Group.
Robert went straight to the office after leaving Skyreach.

The door opened and Lyla rushed in. “Grandpa? What are you doing here?”
Robert turned on her, fuming. “How can I not be here when the company is in this much trouble? If someone hadn’t tipped me off about our partners quitting, were you and Janus planning to keep me in the dark forever?”
“Grandpa, we weren’t trying to hide anything,” Lyla explained. “It all happened so fast. We wanted to fix it before reporting to you. That’s the only reason we didn’t say anything yet.”
“Don’t give me that crap!” Robert snapped. “You think I don’t see what’s going on? You and Janus think you can just take control of the company and push me out of my own chair? Not a chance.”
Lyla’s face went serious. “Grandpa, what are you talking about? We’ve worked our asses off for this company. We’ve never tried to pull anything. I know you’re upset because Rowan got arrested, but that’s a hon ible thing to say. I’m your granddaughter, for god’s
