Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 268

Having spent a week in the hospital, Winnie was adamant about getting discharged the moment she started recovering. After all, she cared about Zachary greatly. Unable to handle her mother’s complaints, Layla asked Jared to deal with the discharge process and drive Winnie back to the Solace residence.

However, Layla was worried about Winnie being alone at home since Joyce was still absent. In the end, Yuliana took Alex, Rowan, Hailey, and the maternity matron back to the Solace residence.

The company still had to continue operating, even after Kendrick went missing. Layla was the only one who could deal with work matters in his stead.

Layla had to deal with work matters while duking it out with malicious people in the company at the same time. It wasn’t an exaggeration to describe her as an overworked worker bee that didn’t have a second to rest. For the past half a month, she didn’t go home at all. She took all of her meals in the company and even slept there.

There were occasions when Layla was too exhausted from work and allowed herself a brief moment to space out. When she thought of the events that had yet to come, she felt as if more weights were placed atop her head, making her unable to breathe.

Unlike other companies, Solace Corporation was a family business. There existed a family law where the eldest son of the first wife was always the one inheriting the company in the past 200 years. Even though it wasn’t properly established during the modern age, the Solace family still followed this law out of propriety.

No one broke that law. Then again, no one dared to break it.

About 20 years ago, something happened. After a series of events, the Solace family managed to restore order to their hierarchy.

However, Zachary was still around at that time. As long as he was there, the other Solace members wouldn’t dare to dream of usurping the position from him.

However, Kendrick’s whereabouts were still a mystery, whereas Zachary remained unconscious till who knew when. The only one who had the right to become the Solace family’s heir was Alex.

Alex was only eight years old. How could he manage a huge company such as Solace Corporation?

Kendrick’s accident wasn’t just spread throughout Solace Corporation. Everyone in the business circle also found out about it. Truthfully speaking, the Solace family’s situation was considered a public secret at this point.

Everyone watched the drama unfold with bated breaths, waiting for the chaos to erupt from within Solace Corporation. Once that happened, they would do their best to grab a slice of pie from the behemoth known as Solace Corporation.
