Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 1103:

“Let’s not forget—Hester’s been running Wade Group for years, yet she never changed the company name to her own. Odd, considering her power.”

“Maybe she’s biding her time for Dustin to take over. Even with all her dislike for her husband, Dustin’s still her son. And honestly, the board would never agree to rebrand the company.”

“Exactly. There’s a whole line of Wade relatives who’ve been waiting for years for Hester to step down. My guess? She’s grooming Dustin to claim the throne—and tying him to the Walton family seals the deal.”

“The marriage between the Wade and Walton families would bring gains to both sides.”

Those words echoed in Dolores’ ears, sending a wave of cold dread through her chest.

It was hard not to believe that Dustin’s only motivation was to keep Hester satisfied, clearing the way for him to take charge of the Wade Group.

Never had she thought he would be so fixated on power and prestige that he would willingly cast their bond aside.
