Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 380

Catherine didn't bother to look back or pause; she just waved over her shoulder at me. She had to

know what I was talking about, right?

The conference room of VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals was up ahead.

As Dad and Ronan—no, I mean Bennett—and I approached the door, a cacophony of voices spilled

out. The shareholders were obviously all there.

Bennett held up a hand to stop us, and we came to an abrupt halt.

A loud voice from inside was saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, please, I've heard what you're all getting

at. You want Bennett to make a call on launching the product sooner rather than later, right? But as I

see it, we’ve got to hit it where it hurts. You're all missing the big picture here."

Bennett shot a glance at Dad, the corners of his mouth ticking up in a smirk. Dad returned the look with

a knowing smile.

I couldn't help but scoff internally at their synchrony. It was like they communicated with just a look.

Was it my cunning father who influenced this enigmatic Bennett, or it the other way around?

Whatever the case maybe, a persistent feeling told me that their relationship wasn't as simple as it

looked. And now, I was starting to feel like I understood my dad less and less.

Who really was Bennett, and could he be the same Ronan I hadn't seen in twelve years? Suddenly, I

was desperate to dig into Bennett's past. But that was easier said than done.

I refocused, straining to catch more of the discussion inside.

After a further exchange, the room quieted down, and the voice continued, "What? Why are you all

looking at me? Don't tell me you can't see the elephant in the room!"

Silence reigned inside.

Bennett stood confidently at the door, arms crossed, a look of amusement on his face.

Finally, that voice haughtily snorted, “You guys... really? You haven't figured it out? It's all about Galen

Wilburn. For the past couple of years, this guy's been acting like he's the heart and soul of VitalAxis

Pharmaceuticals, diligent and devoted. But in truth, he's got ambitions bigger than his britches, itching

for his moment. If you ask me, trying to strong-arm Bennett won't be easy. We'd be better kick Galen

out."

Taken aback, I felt an overpowering urge to burst into the room to see who had the audacity to speak From NôvelDrama.Org.

their mind so boldly. However, a quick, meaningful glance from Bennett silenced my reckless impulse,

silently instructing me to maintain my composure. Taking a deep breath, I looked at Dad, who calmly

shook his head at me. I clenched my purse, trying to contain my agitation.

The debate inside continued, and at last rebuttals were voiced, "Mr. Kemp, that's a bit out of line! We all

remember that it was Galen who brought us aboard. Kicking him out now would seem ungrateful."

More voices joined in, criticizing my dad. No wonder Dad and Bennett had their guard up against these

shareholders; they truly couldn't be trusted! Content of Drаmąոovels.cоm

Their words were a jumbled mess to my ears.

Suddenly, another voice cut through the noise...
