Chapter 225

Clara had been sitting in the hospital room for a good half-hour, still unable to bring up the topic of the executive rights. She was worried Johnny might really think she was trying to take advantage of him, especially given her past antics, which hadn't exactly painted her in the best light.

Just as she was about to head out, Johnny broke the silence with a question, "Has Greysen been giving you grief?"

Greysen was one of the senior execs with a lot of clout. Clara decided to be upfront. "Yeah, he's got some shares and won't listen to me now.

"Thanks, Dad."
