Chapter 483

As Lionel stepped out of Simon's office, he nearly bumped into Bowen, who had come rushing over after catching wind of the commotion.

Bowen's concern was immediate. "Uncle Lionel, I heard the cops were here?"

Lionel's face was a mask of strained calm as he glanced at Bowen and offered a noncommittal grunt in response.

"Is everything alright?" Bowen pressed.

"What do you think?" Lionel retorted.

"Just looking out is all," Bowen replied, his tone earnest. "With Seraphina in danger and the Carney Artful Reverie nearly torched, if Leandro pins all this on our family, we'll be in a real pickle."

"Don't worry about that," Lionel said tersely. "Just focus on your own tasks."

Bowen offered a slight smile. "Of course."

As Lionel turned to leave, he paused and looked back at Bowen. "I know why you sided with the Martins, but let me remind you, keep those ambitions in check. Don't think for a second. I'm watching you, and my brother might have changed sides."

With those final words, Lionel left without looking back.

Bowen stood there for a moment before turning towards Simon's office door.

Previously, Simon had held a grudge against Leandro due to a past sabotage, which had led him to ally with Bowen against the Reynolds Group. Simon's sudden move against Seraphina had taken Bowen by surprise. And Lionel's pointed words suggested that Simon might have shifted his stance after the day's events.
