The Queen They Buried

Chapter 463

At the Lawson Group, Carmen applauded. “Ms. Lawson, you have guts. Running such a huge company and still being able to let go of your sister like it’s nothing.”

Elizabeth smiled sweetly. “What’s the point of keeping something that has no value?”

Carmen agreed with that. She only bothered to please people who were worth her time. “But honestly, Ms. Lawson, isn’t that a little shady?” Carmen asked.

You said you’d be on my side, but now you’re announcing your engagement to my brother, Bryan.” She didn’t know what this was all about.

Elizabeth arched an eyebrow. Her good–for–nothing dad had somehow dragged home an illegitimate son, and that guy was always hanging around, sucking up and playing the fool. Looking at him annoyed her.

Her dad was also a troublemaker. He transferred his shares to his illegitimate son and even bribed many company shareholders to put the illegitimate son into the company.

Hence, working with Carmen could make her a fortune if all went well, but she still feared that things would go south. Elizabeth would walk away with nothing. Worse yet, there was an extra threat. Everyone was watching her every move. Failure wasn’t an option, so she needed more than one safety net. Hence, she had a fake engagement with Bryan. It was her insurance policy.

“That’s a whole different story. With you, it’s all about how much of the Wilson Group I can get my hands on. As the thing with Bryan? That’s just me playing my cards against Turner Group,” Elizabeth said with a sly smile.
