Chapter 77

When Lysander knocked and entered Jade's private suite, the heavy satin drapes were already pulled down over the large windows, creating an enclosed space illuminated by a stark, bright overhead light.

Near the door, four or five burly men in suits stood, their presence casting a tense and ominous atmosphere.

Despite sensing the tension in the room, Lysander maintained a calm, easy smile. He walked steadily into the suite and greeted Jade, who was seated across from him.

"Aunt Jade, it's been a while. How have you been?"

Jade reclined in her wooden chair, her response sharp and unyielding. "Spare me the pleasantries, Chairman Montgomery. I was doing just fine until you walked in."

Lysander chuckled good-naturedly and found a seat for himself. He knew Jade had never thought highly of him; their encounters were always fraught with barbed words. Moreover, he realized that if he didn't take a seat now, he'd be forced to stand throughout the conversation.

After settling down, he turned to Mila, who sat beside Jade, and greeted her with a warm smile. "Mrs. Sutherland."

Mila turned her head away, choosing to ignore him.
