Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 391

Chapter 391: The answer is simple...

After the meeting, Jessica spent the remaining part of the day in the company, handling several outstanding matters.

Though many had been postponed because of Davis’ trip, after the morning’s disruption she knew she had to personally settle certain issues that had surfaced as a result.

She dialed out a line on her phone. The call was answered on the first ring.

"Uncle, we can now sign the partnership with the Allen Group."

"Didn’t you say you would discuss it with Davis first?" he asked.

"I will explain the situation to him when he returns. Besides, it was originally my project for Santiago’s Group," Jessica said firmly.

"But during the implementation, there will be a need for Davis to..." he began.

"Uncle, don’t worry. Once he returns, he will complete the process. Since it will take months before entering the production line, this won’t disrupt anything," she explained, her tone calm yet decisive.

"Alright then. My assistant will bring over the documents for your signing since I’m out of the country."

"That’s fine. As long as someone handles it." A faint smirk touched her lips.

After a few more pleasantries, the call ended. Jessica leaned back in her chair, exhaling deeply, her fingers absently tapping her cheek in thought.

She picked up the intercom. "Assistant Luke, bring me the project file of the last quarter."

With Ethan away on the summit with Davis, she had decided to test Luke Norman, first she needed to know who he is and what he wants.

She wouldn’t want another Vera or Desmond when it had already taken a toll on her to take them away from the group.

Another because he seems more capable than others and the last thing was by his job description it was his duty and office to handle such requests.

The next five days, she had resolved, would be a time of purging...removing every wolf disguised in sheep’s clothing from the Allen Group.

She dropped the receiver as she sat up properly, her gaze falling on the opened file before her as she resumed her work.

A soft knock at the door broke her train of thought. Luke entered, carrying a file.

"Here are the documents," he said, placing it carefully on her desk. He gave a polite bow and turned to leave, but Jessica’s voice stopped him.

"What do you think about the Louis Group?"

Luke froze. His heart skipped a beat. Of all questions, this was one he had neither prepared for nor expected in a professional setting.

Slowly, he turned around. Jessica’s gaze was sharp, intent, boring into him as though she could peel the truth from him with her eyes alone.
