Chapter 336 Hidden Schemes
Right then. Scout instructed his secretary to handle all the arrangements. After straightening his suit, he immediately set off to catch up with Lawrence.
He wondered whether the shareholders who had left capier were treating Lawrence with the proper respect. He needed to see to it personally.
“Scott, now” Monique stepped forward, hoping to speak with Scott, but he didn’t even glance in her direction. He strode off without a word, leaving Monique standing there, humiliated and furious.
Watching Scott hurry off so eagerly, Monique stamped er foot in frustration.
Damn it!
Look at him–so desperate, so obsequious. Just moments ago, he’d been hyping up Arthur, pushing him to support Lewis Group. Now, as soon as someone from Cosmos Group showed up, he was fawning all over them. What a pathetic sight.
Taking a deep breath, Monique lowered her voice and muttered, “Ernesto, I’ve had enough. It’s time for Lewis Group to change leadership.”
“If Scott doesn’t fall in line, I don’t mind sending him to join his late wife.” A cold voice replied.
Ernesto had quietly moved to Monique’s side.
At his words, a flicker of murderous intent crossed Monique’s eyes.
She had covered her tracks so well back then. Who would ever suspect her?
An accident?
How convenient–so many “accidents” happening at once. That woman had been in her way. If she hadn’t died, Monique would never have had the chance to marry Scott. That old fool Scott was so gullible–a simple lie back then had made him take responsibility for her.
After that woman died, he still acted so devoted, welcoming Monique into the Lewis family with such fanfare.
She had executed it all perfectly. Her only regret that the little brat Chloe hadn’t died along with her
mother. Instead, she grew up in that backwater fishing town.
Now, that little troublemaker Chloe had become an obstacle again. And Scott was starting to disobey her. If that was how he wanted to play it, she wouldn’t mind sending both father and daughter to reunite with that bitch in the afterlife.
With the shareholders‘ attitudes toward Chloe shifting so dramatically–and Scott’s along with them–cy
had to act soon.

Chloe arrived on the top floor of Lewis Group. The space had recently been renovated but hadn’t yet been put into regular use.
When she stepped out of the elevator, the first thing she saw was the man standing before the floor–to- ceiling window.

Chapter 336 Hidden Schemes
Ca Finished
Sunlight streamed in from outside, casting a glow aroni Eugene’s tall, silhouetted figure. It wasn’t the first time she had seen him like this.
This man always had a way of being dramatic. But the events of today had been genuinely shocking.
Fifty billion dollars in partnership funds–just like that,
Should she conclude that Eugene had exceptional foresight, or did he have other motives?
Whatever his intentions, today he had completely stole the show. And for now, that was enough.
Her phone buzzed with a new message. Chloe glanced at the screen–it was from the head of the Bingham family.
“If the big shot has already shown up, does that mean I can go home and sleep?”
The tone was almost playful. Chloe allowed herself a slight smile.
Few people knew about her connection to the Binghams, one of the most influential families operating discreetly behind the scenes. Earlier, she had specifically asked Carl to come. Originally, he was prepared to inject five billion. But unexpectedly, Eugene’s people had gotten there first.
Fifty billion.
Well, that number was likely to stir up the business circles of Capaville for a very long time.
When Landon showed up, Carl had been only a few steps behind. She’d noticed how sharp the old man was -the moment he sensed the situation shifting, he chose to slip away quietly.
Now, it had nothing more to do with him..
“Okay,” Chloe replied simply, then put her phone away and walked directly toward the man by the window.
