Previously, the management knowledge Lysander had acquired to take over the Thorne Constructions and Energies suddenly came in handy

Of course, Josiah was indeed a good mentor when it came to business matters. He frequently used his own company as a case study to teach Lysander. Now, she could quickly grasp the current situation and find a way forward

Olivia’s gaze toward Lysander carried a hint of admiration

Mrs. Guerra, if Mr. Guerra were in the office now, I wouldn’t have anything to worry about. But before Tiffany took him away, she deliberately put on a tearful show in the main lobby on the first floor. Now everyone knows he hasn’t returned yet. All I can do is guard that door,said Olivia

Lysander’s brow twitched as she replied, The collaboration fund is not a small amount. To access such a sum, one must have Josiah’s signature or seal. I don’t believe they would dare to barge in blindly.” 

That would be far too brash of the culprits

As they spoke, the elevator reached the ground floor

Olivia opened the elevator door, leading Lysander to the conference room where a heated argument was in full swing. Only after she listened to the commotion inside did she quietly relay a few pieces of information to Lysander

I can’t do anything against those higherups. Everyone in there ranks above me. There’s even one who’s a major shareholder, Seth Camacho. Rumor has it that he used to be at the beck and call of Mr. Guerra’s father. Regardless of any true. achievements he may have, Seth is still an experienced board member who has put in hard work. I can only use Mr. Guerra’s name to keep them in check for the time being 

All right, thank you.” Whatever Lysander could hear through the door was already giving her a splitting headache. However, Olivia managed to persuade everyone to enter the conference room, which undoubtedly exhausted much effort

With a bitter smile, Olivia said, I’m just doing my job. Ms. Collins gave me a lot of instructions before she left, but judging by the situation, I doubt even she could have controlled this crowd. It seems only Mr. Guerra can handle this situation.”

Lysander tried dialing Josiah’s number again, but there was still no answer

After taking a deep breath, Olivia suggested, Mrs. Guerra, at this point, no one else but you is powerful enough to persuade them.” 

Lysander understood Olivia’s words all too well and sighed. I can only give it a shot, but I can’t guarantee it’ll work.” 

A moment later, Lysander pushed open the door to the conference room and entered without a word

The company’s executives squabbling over profits were hardly more dignified than the customers haggling at the farmer’s market. Hearing the door open, however, they all turned to look in unison

The room, which was just bustling with a cacophony of voices earlier, suddenly fell eerily silent

Henry, who had never met Lysander, was naturally unaware of her identity. He directed his irritation toward Olivia and barked, What’s the meaning of this? Why did you bring a stranger here?” 

Olivia was a trusted aide to Carol, and Carol, in turn, served the same role to Josiah

In Carol’s absence, Olivia could, to some extent, represent the CEO’s administrative power

Calmly and composedly, Olivia announced, This lady is not some stranger Mrs. Guerra, our CEO’s wife.” 

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused quite a stir

but 

What’s going on? Mr. Guerra has a wife? Didn’t he just break off his engagement to the Lanister family’s young lady? Could it be the other woman from before

There had always been a rumor circulating in the industry that Josiah was once married but was now divorced. As for the mysterious Mrs. Guerra, her identity had never been revealed publicly, not even until the time they parted ways

Those close to Josiah did know of Lysander’s identity, but they were extremely tightlipped and had never leaked a single word about it to anyone 

else

Olivia’s announcement now confirmed these rumors

Lysander took everything in stride. When it appeared the crowd’s shock had worn off somewhat, she nonchalantly pulled out a chair at one end of the long meeting table and took a seat. Nice to meet you all for the first time. My name is Lysander Thorne. If you’ve been paying attention, you might have heard of this name,she said

A board director with greying temples was the first to react, You! Yyou’re the biological daughter of the Thorne family, the one who has only recently been acknowledged.” 

That’s me.Lysander didn’t deny his claim

No wonder Mr. Guerra’s stance toward Thorne Constructions and Energies changed so drastically. I didn’t know there was such a story involved. To be linked with both daughters of the Thorne family-” 

The one speaking was a colleague sitting beside Henry. He was suddenly elbowed, which caused him to promptly cut off his sentence

Lysander cast a casual glance over them and spoke in a measured tone. The reason I’m here is to protect my interests, not to listen to you all gossip about othersprivate lives.” 

Henry raised his hands in mock surrender and replied, Mrs. Guerra, I didn’t say anything. Don’t look at me like that.7 

The employee who misspoke caught on to the gravity of his mistake. Hel swallowed his embarrassment and apologized, I’m sorry, Mrs. Guerra. I merely made an offhanded comment with no intention of gossiping about your marriage to Mr. Guerra. It was just that I had heard some rumors earlier claiming that you two were already divorced.” 

His implied meaning was hardly concealed in his apology to Lysander

While Lysander’s expression remained unchanged, her heart tightened slightly. This group of people far surpassed those employees in Thorne Constructions and Energies who had given her a hard time, be it in terms of work ability or professional experience. Subduing them was indeed no easy task

At this point, she had no other choice but to use Josiah as a cover, leveraging his influence to intimidate others. There simply were no other options left for her

Lysander kept her tone as casual as possible to make the situation seem like a trivial matter. Still, it was clearly not the right time to discuss their previous. divorce. The main priority was to stop the transfer of funds

Lysander declared, As I’ve already mentioned, my visit to the Guerra Group today is solely to protect my interests. I’ve been married to Josiah for three years, and we didn’t have a property notarization. Therefore, I’m entitled to half of the profits made by the company during these three years.”
