Chapter 92 Hiring an Assassin

“Well.” Willow’s expression tightened as she found herself in a difficult predicament.

She had contemplated helping the Stewart family, but she recalled the instructions given to her by Miranda when she assumed her role.

The new CEO had given her a strict directive stating that she could have business collaborations with anyone except the Stewart family.

The Stewarts in the room noticed Willow’s hesitation and mistakenly believed that her success had led her to look down on their family.

“Willow, we acknowledge our past mistakes and hope you won’t hold them against us. After all, we’re still the Stewarts. Can you stand by and watch the Stewart family fall apart?” Donald said.

He held the significant position of general manager within the Stewart Group, which was the linchpin of the entire Stewart family.

Henry apologized sincerely, “Willow, I used to be headstrong, rude, and entitled, I apologize now and hope you won’t dwell on our past errors. You’re the director at Southlake Corporation, and we believe you can make a difference for the Stewart family.

“What? Who’s the new CEO, and why does he have a grudge against the Stewart family?” Marilyn questioned confusedly.

“I have no idea. I’ve been at the company for so long, and I’ve never seen him before,” Willow replied.

The mysterious CEO piqued her curiosity. All she knew was that he was Caspian’s classmate, but the details about his identity and appearance remained elusive.
