Chapter 300:

Blandon looked at Lydia, his expression one of confusion. “What good news? Did Bryan meet his end?”

“Not that good,” Lydia replied. “However, tonight Jacob threw a party. Bryan attended and ran into Eileen. He almost choked her; then he mingled with a rowdy crowd and indulged in drinks and smokes. Jacob was worried about him, so he shut down the party early and sent Bryan back to the hospital.”

Lydia considered the implications, realizing that Bryan had truly fallen hard for Eileen.

After a brief pause, Brandon smirked. “What a fool, destroying himself over a woman.”

“That’s accurate, yet… we must remain vigilant. I’ll take care of Zola. You need to prepare a contract for Bryan, similar to when you transferred half of your shares to him. Incorporate certain terms… so that even if we face defeat later, the contract will become invalid,” Lydia said.

Lydia and Brandon plotted with precision, directing their schemes against Bryan.

The following morning, Lydia met with Zola, laying a contract before her.

“I’m aware that you’re fond of Bryan and wish to marry him, but unless you secure genuine power over him, he won’t consider marrying you,” Lydia said.

Caught off guard, Zola strove to maintain her composure. “Whether I marry Bryan or not, I’m loyal to you. I’ll do whatever is necessary.”

Though Lydia heard her words, she remained skeptical.

“That would be for the best. Here’s the deal. If you manage to secure Apex Group and deliver it safely to Travis, we’ll ensure your marriage to Bryan,” Lydia said. “Once you take control of Apex Group, Bryan might just realize his mistake and come back to you on his own. With the way things stand between you two now, it seems impossible for him to marry you.”

Zola was well aware of the altercation between Bryan and Eileen the previous evening at the club. She believed Bryan still harbored feelings for Eileen, yet his resentment was overshadowing his love. His recent descent in behavior was temporary, and she would eventually show him that she was the one who truly stood by him.

After wrestling with her thoughts last night, Zola resolved that she would take over Apex Group at any cost. Once Bryan returned to his better senses, she would reach her objective.

“Alright, I’ll sign it,” Zola declared. She scrutinized the document, found it sound, and signed it without hesitation.

“Taking a position at Apex Group won’t be simple. Aren’t you on good terms with Kian? The Warren family has connections with Apex Group; maybe he could lend you a hand,” Lydia said.
