Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 84

“To be honest, I expected her to have something up her sleeve,” Miss Brianna Paine snorted as she smiled at Lawrence. Right after the meeting, Brianna chose to go to Lawrence’s office.

“What were you expecting? She knows what’s good for her. Without Eulanda or her mother, she would be useless. Besides…” Lawrence smiled. He still possessed a lot of things up his sleeve.

What Lawrence did not include in that meeting was the fact that Eulanda’s boyfriend Simone was with her during the crash. However, unlike Eulanda, the poor man did not survive. Lawrence knew that Sofia was aware of this.

This news alone was enough to put Eulanda in a bad light.

“Don’t forget what you promised me when you finally took over the company,” Brianna smirked. She had known Eulanda for a few years now Sadly, friendships don’t exist in business. There are only profits.

“Of course,” Lawrence said. “I don’t need

you remind me of such things.”

“Still, you need to be wary. Cornered rats usually fight back,” Miss Paine said.

“She’s more bark than bite, Brianna,” Lawrence chuckled, leaning back in his chair. “Sofia’s a talented woman; I’ll give her that, but she lacks the ruthlessness this company demands. She’s too sentimental, too attached to the past.”

Brianna nodded a predatory glint in her eyes. “Agreed. But underestimating your opponent is never a wise move. Remember, she still has access to the company’s resources, and she might just surprise us.”

Lawrence scoffed. “Let her try. I’ve been planning for this moment for years. Eulanda’s accident was simply the final push I needed. With her out of the picture, and her precious granddaughter lacking the stomach for a fight, the company is practically mine for the taking.”

“Since it seems that you already have everything taken care of, then… I believe my worries are for nothing,” Brianna smiled. She then got up. “I will see you again… Chairman.” She then walked out of Lawrence’s office. The moment she left, the smile on Lawrence’s face vanished.

He was winning. Everyone watching the show would know that.

However, a part of him seemed to think that he still missed something crucial.

“Are you certain that the Beaumont Empire is not making a move?” he asked Min, who was standing behind him.

“No, sir. Mr. Beaumont is not doing anything at all.”

Lawrence frowned. By now, he expected Alexander Beaumont to put up a fight to support Sofia. He expected the man to secretly buy some shares too. However, it seems that his initial analysis of Sofia and Alexander’s relationship was wrong.
