Chapter 308

Chapter 308:

Perhaps Eileen’s letter had left a mark on Bryan.

He became even more reserved than usual, interacting mainly with Raymond at work.

Zola had been blacklisted by him; all collaborative documents and matters now went through Raymond.

As a result, Zola had not seen Bryan for a considerable amount of time, and it had also been a while since she last saw Kian.

When she unexpectedly encountered Kian at Apex Group, a sudden surge of tension coursed through her.

She quickly set aside the document she was holding and approached him.

“Kian, it’s been ages since you were here. Is it about that project?” she asked, her tone carefully composed.

“I’m here to see Bryan,” Kian interjected, his cold gaze barely glancing at her.

His demeanor radiated a mix of distance and barely concealed disdain.

Before Zola could process it, Kian had already moved past her.

After exchanging a few words with Raymond, he headed straight into Bryan’s office.

On the desk, a cup filled with a reddish-brown liquid caught the sunlight, sparkling brilliantly.

Bryan held the glass, his eyes casually sweeping over Kian before he took a sip.

“You knew all along?” Kian leaned against the desk, his eyes full of reproach as he stared at Bryan. “You knew that Vivian’s illness was her doing?”

Bryan remained calm, reclining in his chair as he met Kian’s furious gaze.

“I found out a bit earlier than you,” he admitted, his tone even and unbothered.

Frustrated, Kian slammed his hand down on the desk. His palm turned red immediately, but he didn’t seem to feel any pain.

“Bryan, all of this happened to Vivian because of you!” he shouted.

Bryan set his glass down, his voice remaining eerily calm.

“If that’s what you choose to believe, I have nothing more to say,” he replied flatly.

“Then why won’t you hand over control to me?” Kian’s eyes were bloodshot, his voice trembling with suppressed rage. “You hold all the power in the Warren Group and push me aside. What are you planning?”

Seven years ago, Zola had orchestrated Vivian’s move overseas.

Her intent had been to stop Vivian from marrying Bryan, which had led to Bryan marrying someone else.

While Vivian had been deeply hurt, she had managed to keep her sanity intact.

But Zola feared that Vivian’s return might soften Bryan’s heart and reignite their past romance.

To prevent this, Zola had kept Vivian overseas, medicated her to destabilize her mental health, and pushed her toward a breakdown.
