When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie) novel Chapter 153

I stared at the photograph, still struggling to believe it.

"So, what's your plan?"

Now that she had shared everything, it was clear she was seeking a partnership.

"Let's start with the current project. We can't afford any delays, and it's a significant opportunity for me to shine at the company."

Lisa didn't hide her ambition. She had sent Clyde over precisely because she wanted to secure the project for herself.

Cooperation between two companies naturally requires a leader.

Talbot wouldn't take the lead himself and Tammie was abroad. Then the leading position naturally went to Lisa.

However, Talbot didn't trust her either.

"He's cautious and won't make a move until the last moment. Despite my hints, he refuses to let me get involved." she said.

"Obviously, he’s waiting for his son to be back and take over the company. Too bad his son can't make it back."

She leaned back in her chair, "Tammie's living a high life abroad only because Talbot is still footing the bill. But what happens when the money runs out?"

"With Mr. Patterson's help, I can secure the project, ensuring there’s enough for everyone."

Lisa had even figured out how to distribute the benefits. She was well-prepared.

Clyde pondered for a moment before shaking his head.

"You're skilled in project management, but you won’t be able to topple the Crawfords. Your dad is safe for now."

I felt the same way. Even if Talbot was out of the picture, he wouldn't just roll over and die.

Then Lisa couldn't take over the company and was she thinking of assassination?

But then she smiled. "That's why we need to find Galen Brown. We can send Talbot to jail after we get the evidence. He'll be in jail for a decade or so. Tammie will then be debt-ridden. He won't be able to return and the Crawfords will be mine."

"Maybe not. Talbot might be sentenced to death."

Her smile was chilling, "Too many sins... he won't last long."
