The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 344

Sebastian had already made his move. Every partner was cutting ties with Ramos Corporation, and he had the company’s credit lines frozen at all the major banks.

“You really think that’s enough to make me give in?”

“Dad, calm down.” Hank stepped forward quickly, trying to smooth things over when he noticed Reese’s cold look. “Reese, we’re not trying to make things hard for you. Ramos Corporation is struggling, and if Mom were still around, she wouldn’t want to see everything she built fall apart, right?

“If you’re willing to help Vista Tech out, the Meyer family will start a partnership with Ramos Corporation. We’ll even give Ramos thirty percent of the profits. What do you say?”

Reese squinted at her phone instead of answering. She was so over Bailey and Hank’s good cop, bad cop routine.

Her phone lit up with a news alert. Her long lashes fluttered as she opened it.

Bailey took her silence as a good sign, like maybe Hank’s words were actually working. He softened his tone. “Reese, if you help Vista Tech land this deal, I promise I’ll handle things with Sebastian.”

Reese finished reading and looked up, the corner of her mouth curving into a knowing smile. “Do whatever you want with that partnership. As for Ramos Corporation, don’t worry about it.”

She got up and left.

“Stop right there!”

Bailey was furious at her attitude. He grabbed his phone and immediately dialed Sebastian’s number, muttering, “Fine. Let’s see how you like the consequences of saying no.”

But all he got was a cold automated message. “The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”

Bailey frowned and tried again. Still nothing.

“What’s going on?”

“Dad…” Hank was staring at his own phone, face pale and anxious. He had just finished reading the latest breaking news. “Something happened to Sebastian…”

“No way.” Bailey shook his head. “This is Sebastian. Who in Bridger Lake could touch him?”

“Reese, wait, let me talk to you.”

She turned, expression cool as she faced Hank. “I don’t want to talk.”

“Don’t be like this.” Hank took a deep breath, forcing a smile. “I know I was out of line earlier. I’m sorry. But Mom and Dad built Meyer Group from scratch. You can’t just stand by and watch it fall apart, can you?

“That Blade partnership means everything to Vista Tech and the family. Just help us this once. If you do, I’ll give you my share of Mom’s inheritance too. What do you say?”

Reese stared at Hank for a long moment. His desperate sincerity almost looked real. She smiled slightly. “Are you trying so hard to save the Meyer family because of Mom, or is it because you just can’t let go of everything you have now?”

Hank froze, his smile faltering. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing.” Reese’s smile faded, her gaze turning sharp. “I just wanted you to know, Mom’s car accident wasn’t actually an accident. There’s more to it than you think.”
