Revenge with My Undercover Can Iduling
Chapter 413 Kelly Assumes Control of Lockhart Group
At Lockhart Group, Quentin was seated in the midst of a meeting, the atmosphere flick with tension.
The executives around the table were stiff and silent, each one anxious about the uncertain future kencin over the company.
Although Zev was often been seen as a reckless playboy with little regard for tradition, his absence now lefi a gaping void. His lack of leadership skills was widely known, but without him, the company was directionless and adrift, lacking a clear leader.
Lockhart Group was in the midst of a financial disaster. Two major projects were running into serious funding problems, and with Zev gone, Wade’s death, and Ken’s defection, the company was on the brink of collapse. The loss of key figures had shaken the foundation of the organization, and the outcome seemed grim.
However, this wasn’t the first time the company had faced such a crisis.
Years ago, when Sylvester had been kidnapped and murdered, Lockhart Group had been at a crossroads.
Wade’s health had deteriorated drastically, and with no one at the helm, Lockhart Group had teetered on the edge of collapse. But he had endured too much in his lifetime to let himself fall. He knew he had no choice–he couldn’t break, couldn’t falter. For Zev’s sake, he had to stay strong.
With Wade still in command, Lockhart Group held its place at the very top, unmoved by the chaos around it.
Everything he had built was meant for Zev. Say what you will–he was stubborn, inflexible, and unwilling to change–but in the end, his life was nothing short of extraordinary.
“Mr. Ashford, Mr. Lockhart … ” a voice quivered from the group.
If something happens to Mr. Lockhart…
“If something happens to Mr. Lockhart, who can hold the company together? His successor is too young, and no one else can take charge. With Ken gone, there’s no one left to guide Lockhart Group.”
The executives were clearly rattled. The tension in the room was palpable, and the fear of an impending collapse spread like wildfire.
“Mr. Ashford, can you shed some light on the financial situation? If this crisis can’t be fixed, we need to start making plans,” another executive pressed.
Murmurs of agreement filled the room. Everyone in that meeting had their own stakes in the company, and the idea of sticking around while Lockhart Group crumbled wasn’t appealing. If the company was doomed, they wanted to get out while they still could.
“We’ve already had offers from other companies,” one person added. “Headhunters are circling, clearly thinking Lockhart Group won’t survive. If we’re going to leave, now’s the time.” Someone mentioned the matter of jumping ship.
Quentin sighed deeply. “I’ve spoken with Mrs. Lockhart. We’re working on a plan to solve this crisis …
The weight of the situation was clear. If they couldn’t find a solution soon, Lockhart Group might not make it through.

Just then, Kelly stepped into the room

send the company into turmoil.
No matter what Kelly decided, it seemed like those in the shadows would win.
If she sold the Wagner Group shares, the hidden forces would benefit, while Lockhart Group would wither away without proper leadership.
But if she refused to sell, the company would fall apart, ending over a century of legacy.
It felt as if no matter what she did, the people pulling the strings would emerge victorious.
Or, if Zev’s fate was already sealed, Kelly herself might become their next target.
If she were taken out of the equation, her children would become pawns of the Wagners.
Kelly paused at the doorway, taking a steadying breath before pushing it open.

Upon seeing her, Quentin hesitated for a moment, visibly taken aback. “Kelly, what are you doing here? With unwavering confidence, Kelly stepped forward and took Zev’s seat at the head of the table. “Everyone, my husband is currently abroad on business. Unfortunately, he was injured and requires medical treatment overseas. He’ll be gone for approximately two months. Until his return, I will be temporarily stepping in to manage Lockhart Group.”
Her words rang out clearly, commanding the attention of the room.
The executives exchanged confused glances, speaking in low murmurs. “She’s here to take charge? Does she even know how?”
“She’s a doctor, isn’t she? What does she know about running a company?”
“Exactly…
”
Quentin hadn’t anticipated Kelly’s bold move.
Even now, he couldn’t take her seriously.
Zev may have lacked natural charisma, but at least he had inherited some business sense from three generations of Lockharts in commerce.
Kelly, on the other hand, came from a family of scholars and doctors. The thought of a doctor running a major company seemed absurd.
Quentin muttered under his breath, Kelly, this is something we should discuss privately. Managing a company isn’t a simple task…
Kelly’s gaze swept across the room. “I will prove myself through action. I will do everything necessary to guide us through this crisis. If you trust me, stay and help. If you don’t, feel free to leave.”
She stood tall, her eyes scanning the room of murmuring executives. “As for the financial issues, I am prepared to sell all my shares in Wagner Group to aid Lockhart Group. If we work together, I promise that we will see greater rewards in the future. Once we’ve made progress, my assistant, Hanson, will handle salary adjustments and bonuses.”

Chapter 413 Kelly Assumes Control of Lockhart Group
Sidney’s warning had been clear everyone here was motivated by profit. To stabilize the company, Kelly needed to convince them that the crisis would be resolved, and then offer them a fangible incentive for staying. The executives had to feel assured that sticking with her would lead to a prosperous outcome.
“Ms. Yeager, running a company is no joke. Do you truly have the ability and confidence to do this?” one of the executives asked, his doubt clear.
“My abilities are my own, but my confidence comes from all of you. I am willing to sell my shares to save this company, and I have faith in myself to lead Lockhart Group out of this crisis,” Kelly replied, her voice steady and resolute.
The room fell into silence as the executives exchanged wary looks, but there was a shift in their demeanor. They began to reconsider their plans to abandon ship.
Quentin’s expression darkened. He had hoped this crisis would cause the executives to flee, triggering a chain reaction that would bring down the company.
But Kelly’s unexpected intervention seemed to have restored some hope.
‘Though he tried to hide it, Quentin was clearly rattled. He hadn’t yet figured out what Kelly was capable of
However, her offer to sell her shares was a significant move.
For now, she could trust no one but the Wagners. That’s where her loyalty lies.
