Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 253

Chapter 253:

Ever since Bryan returned to Onaland, Zola had stopped going to Apex Group. While Bryan’s comeback restored order to the company, this left Brandon with a surplus of free time, igniting a smoldering unease in his restless heart.

“Your so-called patience is just watching Bryan and Eileen bask in blissful togetherness?” Brandon questioned.

Zola stood in the living room, her docile demeanor a stark contrast to the arrogance she flaunted before others.

“As far as I’m aware, Eileen and Bryan had a fight. Our window of opportunity has presented itself,” she replied.

Lydia’s interest piqued upon hearing this. She popped a cherry into her mouth, nonchalantly spitting out the pit before asking, “What opportunity?”

“Bryan won’t tolerate any mistakes. If we meddle a bit, some matters will naturally fall into place,” Zola replied enigmatically, reluctant to divulge her connection with Kian to the Dawson couple.

Brandon, his brow furrowed, tapped the table impatiently. “Enough with the vague talk; I want to see tangible action!”

“Brandon,” Lydia tried to soothe him, placing a hand on his chest. “Don’t get riled up; leave this to us. You just cling to your shares, and I’ll ensure Bryan can’t wrest them away.”

To avoid legal entanglements, things had to progress one calculated step at a time; Lydia was patient.

Brandon scoffed, shooting Zola a displeased glance before heading upstairs.

The grand living room was bathed in resplendent light, casting a radiant glow upon Zola. Lydia’s piercing gaze made Zola feel as though she was being scrutinized by a venomous snake.

Although Brandon had always treated Zola poorly, Lydia outwardly showed kindness toward her. But her kindness masked her true ruthlessness, a trait Zola recognized all too well.

“Zola, I hear you’re quite close with Kian. What’s the deal? Do you harbor feelings for him?” Lydia asked.

Lydia’s probing caught Zola off guard, forcing her to reveal her clandestine bond with Kian.

“He has feelings for me. After so many years apart, I didn’t anticipate he would reach out for me. I just wish to leverage his assistance to get rid of Eileen!” Zola said truthfully.

Lydia’s eyes remained skeptical. “I surmise you don’t genuinely harbor feelings for him. Why would you have inflicted such grave harm upon his sister?”

This sent chills down Zola’s spine as she stared at Lydia in astonishment.

“Don’t forget that I raised you. The power you hold stems from me. What could you possibly hide from me?” Lydia stood up, approached Zola, and lifted her shirt slightly with one finger. A vicious scar peeked through the waistband of Zola’s pants.

Lydia continued, “The Warren family wouldn’t want someone who can’t bear children like you. Even if they desired you, it would be futile. You have no intention of joining forces with Kian to escape my control. That would be great. But if you do…” She patted Zola’s face twice with her hand. “The things you did to Vivian, I’ll tell every sordid detail to Kian. Would he love you more or despise you more after that?”
