Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 322:

Thus, whether it was to deal with Bryan or to oversee the operations of Apex Group, Brandon and Lydia had to depend on Zola.

They were familiar with Zola’s ability to manage the company; when Bryan had been away in West Land, Zola had handled the operations of Apex Group well.

They believed that even with the fallout with Bryan and the spreading rumors of their bet, making managing the Apex Group challenging, these issues shouldn’t have resulted in such significant losses!

Lydia approached Zola, gripping her collar firmly. “Don’t you owe me an explanation?”

“I have nothing to say. Our projects keep getting intercepted, and somehow, the Ferguson Group can predict our strategies and even our lowest bids, indicating clear sabotage. Eileen is a likely suspect!”

With that, Zola turned her head away and fell silent.

Without concrete evidence, her words carried little weight.

Lydia said, “It’s premature to place blame now. We will visit the Ferguson Group to see Eileen together. She would agree to meet us considering Brandon’s presence. We need to secure our part in this project, no matter what.”

Lydia let go of Zola, straightened her collar, and looked at her intently. “You’re merely paving the way; even if you fail this time, it’s inconsequential. Brandon has other plans, but don’t think about escaping our control, or you will regret it.”

Even though Brandon had a bad temper, Zola wasn’t intimidated by him.

It was Lydia whom Zola truly feared.

Lydia had transitioned from a modest upbringing to a life of opulence upon marrying into the Dawson family.

Over the years, she had shown no trace of her life before marrying Brandon.

She was somewhat stout, her demeanor kind, and her voice soft.

Zola vividly recalled the moment when Lydia had reassuringly told her, “Zola, don’t worry. They’ll use anesthesia for the surgery. You won’t feel a thing.”

Lydia had then personally escorted Zola to the operating room, where Zola had undergone a procedure to remove her uterus.

“Go back and rest to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting with Eileen, and make sure to maintain a polite attitude. We’re currently at a disadvantage, so it’s important to adjust your mindset accordingly.” Lydia patted Zola on the shoulder, and after a stiff response, Zola departed.

As soon as Zola left, Brandon asked Lydia, “Do you really trust her that much?”

Lydia sat down and pulled out a tissue to clean her hands since she had just touched Zola.

She replied, “Bryan doesn’t favor her, so she wouldn’t dare cross us. Under these circumstances, she’s unlikely to covertly assist Bryan. She knows better than to undertake something so unrewarding and challenging.”

After all, Lydia had raised Zola herself and knew her well.

Brandon furrowed his brows. “If we truly face failure, we might have to use the shares we once gave Bryan to coerce him into staying. Once he stabilizes the Apex Group, we’ll bring out the share transfer agreement, prove it never existed, and reclaim the shares. We can dismiss Bryan for good then. It’s a convoluted route, but at least the outcome is manageable.”
