Goodbye My Arrogant Ex novel Chapter 7

“I’m Mr. Murphy’s assistant. The name’s Zade.”

The man in the lead pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it over, then motioned to his team behind him. “We’ll take it from here.”

A bodyguard stepped forward, grabbed the struggling man by the collar, and tossed him out the door.

After the heavy thud echoed down the hallway, Marguerite finally realized all of this was real.

Leonard’s people had rescued her.

Her nerves, stretched to the breaking point, suddenly unraveled. Marguerite opened her mouth to say something, but the world spun and went black. The last thing she heard before slipping into unconsciousness was Jonas telling someone to get her to a hospital.

When she woke again, Marguerite found her assistant sitting anxiously at her bedside.

“Ms. Taylor, you’re finally awake.”

Laura Wood had been the student Marguerite sponsored through college. After graduation, Laura proved herself so capable that Marguerite kept her on as her personal assistant. Over the years, she’d come to think of Marguerite as an older sister, and the news of the accident had left her so frantic she nearly got into a car crash rushing to the hospital.

Marguerite met Laura’s worried gaze, her own expression softening a little. “I’m fine.”

But of course, she wasn’t fine.

Laura couldn’t forget what the doctors had told her when she first arrived: broken ribs, internal injuries to the heart and lungs. If Marguerite had gotten to the hospital any later, it could have been fatal.

Her eyes were full of concern as she looked at Marguerite.

Marguerite stifled a cough and took a few sips of water before speaking again. “About the board—what’s the situation now?”

“Ms. Taylor, you really have to talk some sense into Mr. Foster.” Laura’s voice was indignant on Marguerite’s behalf. “He wants to transfer thirty percent of the company’s shares to Ms. Jenkins. But you and Mr. Foster founded the company together, and you don’t even own that much!”

Marguerite froze for a moment, then a bitter smile flickered in her eyes.

Back when they started the company, Benjamin had insisted the risks were too high, so her stake was kept minimal.

But now, he could hand over thirty percent of the company to someone else as if it were nothing.
