**Chapter 275: The Janitor Heiress**
In the shadowy corners of corporate ambition, a cunning scheme was brewing. Monique and Ernesto were plotting to seize control of the Lewis Group, intent on acquiring it lock, stock, and barrel.
Scott found himself clinging to a mere twenty percent of the company’s shares, a stark contrast to the power he once wielded. Monique held a modest ten percent, while Ernesto mirrored that with another ten. The numbers were stark, and the stakes were high.
Monique’s gaze was fixed on Scott’s dwindling shares, a glimmer of greed lighting her eyes. If she could secure those shares, she would emerge as the true power within the company, rendering even Chloe’s thirty percent insignificant. The thought of it sent a thrill through her—perhaps they should just rebrand the company entirely as Mason Group.
As the meeting concluded, Chloe stepped out into the cool air, the weight of the boardroom still heavy on her shoulders. Outside, Zachary was waiting for her, his flashy sports car gleaming under the overcast sky. He revved the engine as he pulled up beside her, a playful smirk dancing on his lips.
“I bet Mr. Lewis looked ridiculous in there, showing you some respect?” he teased, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “Did the other shareholders finally start to see your brilliance?”
Chloe couldn’t suppress a light smile. Her strategy had been straightforward. The Lewis Group was floundering financially, and it was clear that radical changes were necessary. She had summarily dismissed Scott’s proposal, and to her delight, several influential shareholders had rallied behind her ideas. They were even suggesting she join the executive team to help steer the company back to prosperity.
But that was merely the opening act; the real drama was yet to unfold.
“Ms. Lewis must be devastated right now,” Zachary remarked, pressing down on the gas pedal as they sped away from the building.
“I think she’s going to love her new job,” Chloe replied, amusement bubbling beneath her calm exterior. Her offhand comment about “needing professionals” had effectively crushed Carolyn’s aspirations of climbing the corporate ladder.
At that moment, Chloe imagined Carolyn, likely wishing the earth would swallow her whole. With a mother as scheming as hers, Chloe decided to play along, curious to see how far their machinations would go.
Carolyn, in her fury, had visions of burning the entire Lewis Group to the ground. She was well aware that her chances of landing an executive position had evaporated, but as Scott’s daughter, she had expected at least a respectable role—perhaps as a department head or even a branch manager. But then reality struck when she saw the position HR had assigned her.
Janitorial.
