Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 857

Come Monday, Owen was officially stepping into the Lance Group. Over the past few years, the internal structure of the corporation had been twisted out of shape by Lawrence Lance and his father.

Owen had been away from the company for three years. He had no idea how many executives Lawrence had planted, or how many shareholders had been bought off by their faction.

Lawrence was useless when it came to legitimate business, but he was a mastermind at underhanded schemes.

Even with Lord Leonard Lance holding the fort, the old man could only guarantee the broader trajectory of the company. At his age, he couldn't micromanage every detail.

Owen's upcoming role would be far more demanding and mentally draining than Mira's, as the environment he was stepping into was exponentially more complex.

Truth be told, if he didn't need to avenge his mother and crush that faction, Owen wouldn't have bothered wading into that cesspool.

As long as the old man drew breath, outsiders had zero chance of swallowing the Lance Group.

He simply refused to let those scumbags continue running rampant.

"Owen, make sure you come back here every night. We can work and study together, and it'll be easier to hash things out when problems arise."

"Your place is too empty anyway."

"Glad you still have a conscience."

It was exactly what Owen had been hoping for.

"Hey, I've always had a conscience."

In reality, Mira just wanted to stay fully updated on the situation at the Lance Group.

The following day, Mira returned to campus. The moment she stepped through the gates, she spotted Jillian Lowe and Elara Finn waiting for her.

"I missed you so much!"

Jillian lunged forward, but Mira's quick reflexes allowed her to intercept the hug, opting to grab her hand for a firm squeeze instead.

Mira simply wasn't accustomed to intense physical intimacy with others.

Elara stepped up and linked arms with Mira. "Mira, while you were away, I secretly recorded the professor's lectures. I'll send the videos to you later."

Elara wasn't much of a talker, but after spending so much time together, she knew exactly what Mira needed.

"Thanks a million!"

"I brought gifts for both of you. I'll have the bodyguards drop them off around lunch."
