The Day Silence Spoke novel Chapter 300

But her legs were too weak, and she immediately collapsed back into the chair. She pressed a hand to her lower abdomen, where a dull ache was beginning to throb.

Clifford picked up a few files, ready to leave, then glanced back at her. “Your desk is outside, to the right.”

Latisha nodded, her face pale. He had been relentless. Looking at him now, immaculate in his suit, exuding an aura of detached control, one would never imagine the ferocity he possessed in private. For Latisha, it never felt like pleasure; it felt like an assault. There were countless times she thought she might actually die.

Clifford paused for a moment before walking out and closing the door behind him. The moment he was gone, Latisha’s body went completely limp. If the chair hadn’t been so large, she would have slid to the floor.

Outside the office, Ziven was waiting for him. “Mr. Lambert.” His eyes scanned Clifford from head to toe, but he couldn't detect anything out of the ordinary.

Clifford stopped and glanced at him. Ziven quickly said, “I sent them away for now. Should we reschedule the meeting for tomorrow?”

“Today,” Clifford said, walking toward the elevator. “Tell them the meeting is on.”

Ziven wanted to die. He had just dismissed everyone, and now he had to call them all back. He could only imagine what they would be muttering about him. But he had no choice but to obey.

When the executives reassembled in the conference room, the resentment in the air was thick enough to cut with a knife, but no one dared to voice their complaints.

Clifford, acting as if nothing had happened, coolly took his place at the head of the table and glanced at Greyson.

Greyson sat to his left, his eyes hidden behind his glasses, his expression unreadable.

“A lot has happened at the company in the last couple of days, as I’m sure you’re all aware,” Clifford began. “The main purpose of today’s meeting is to introduce you to the new CEO of Lambert Group. Mr. Lambert, why don’t you introduce yourself.”
