Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 365

Mira debated whether to give Ethan a warning. It wasn't out of the goodness of her heart or some noble desire to turn the other cheek. She simply wanted to clear the debt she owed him. Before the holidays, Ethan had warned her about the ambush at the steakhouse; without his tip, things could have gone sideways.

But then she reconsidered. Mara hadn't actually done anything to Julian yet. If Mira went to the Mercer family now and accused Mara of plotting murder, Lacey and the rest of them would instantly turn on her, calling her a malicious liar trying to sow discord.

And if the accident still happened, Mara and Mr. and Mrs. Mercer would absolutely find a way to shift the blame onto her.

So, she decided to drop it. If Julian crashed, it was his own bad luck. She would find another way to repay Ethan's favor later.

Dismissing the Mercers from her mind, Mira turned her focus back to the stock market.

Her eyes landed on an unassuming ticker—Central Offshore Energy. A jolt of familiarity hit her.

She remembered now. This stock was going to skyrocket in about half a month. They were about to strike massive oil reserves on a remote island.

To ensure her memory was perfectly aligned with this timeline, she immediately called Master Ellis. "Master Ellis, I need your people to quietly look into the recent movements of the company behind Central Offshore Energy. I need it fast."

"Consider it done," Master Ellis replied. He trusted Mira's instincts implicitly now.

Just as Mira was finally getting ready to sleep, her phone rang again. It was Owen.

"Come to the office tomorrow morning. I need to hand things over to you."

"Hand what over?"

"What do you mean 'what'? Didn't you say you were going to take the reins as CEO?"

"I have school, Owen! I have my final exams this semester!" Mira practically wailed.

"You are the Chairman. The conglomerate belongs to you. If you don't manage it, who will? I'm just one man with two hands. You asked me to run the tech firm for you, I cannot simultaneously be the CEO of Solflare."
