The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Soon enough, Charlotte learned the full story behind the knife attack.

The assailant, Hank Wright, was the owner and legal representative of a private company. Due to a contract dispute, his company was taken to court by another business. Max represented the opposing party and won the case.

After the verdict, Hank was found liable for breach of contract and ordered to pay substantial damages. When the case moved into the enforcement phase, the court froze his company’s accounts.

Things only got worse. Max soon uncovered evidence that Hank had been mixing personal and company assets and had illegally withdrawn capital. A second lawsuit followed. This time, the court seized Hank’s personal property and impounded valuable assets.

Then came the final blow. Hank’s wife cheated on him, cleaned out their savings, and ran off with another man.

Everything collapsed. Hank lost everything–his company, his money, his reputation, and even his family. In his eyes, it was all because of Max and the lawyers at S&G. So he snapped, showed up with a knife, and tried to take revenge.

Luckily, Max survived emergency surgery and was now in stable condition.

After the attack, the firm quickly converted a spare room into a security office. Two large, muscular guards moved in. They were clearly the bodyguards Sean had arranged for Charlotte.

see her.

He couldn’t wait another second.

On the day of his discharge, Zac walked ahead while Wendy and his assistant followed closely behind.

“is everything set up with the Sullivan Corporation?” Zac asked as they headed toward the parking garage.

During his hospital stay, the board at Gibson Corporation had been hounding him for updates on the investment deal.

His assistant replied, “Mr. Gibson, next Friday at 8 p.m., Mr. Sullivan is attending a formal dinner. I’ve secured you an invitation.”

Zac pulled open the car door and got in. The assistant climbed into the front passenger seat.

“What kind of dinner is it?” Zac asked.

“It’s a welcome reception,” the assistant explained. “For Mr. Sullivan’s cousin his maternal cousin, I believe. She just returned to Jersey City. He’s introducing her to the local business and social scene. The guest list is pretty exclusive.”

From the back seat, Wendy leaned in and clung to Zac’s arm.

Zac glanced down, then subtly pulled his arm away.

Wendy’s expression stiffened.

He hadn’t done that before.

Ever since she returned from overseas, Zac had been glued to her side. They had hooked up more than once. He used to be obsessed.

So why was he pushing her away now?

Was he still thinking about Charlotte?
