Chapter 296 Stop Pretending to Be Innocent

After the police took Benjamin away, the burden of managing the family company fell squarely on Chloe’s shoulders.

Previously, it was Benjamin who assigned tasks to her, and she never interfered in internal matters. Although she had been more involved in recent days, she did not have enough time to take care of it.

After getting back from the hospital, Chloe locked herself in the office. She was taken aback by the shocking truth she discovered-Benjamin had not lied to her. The office had experienced consecutive losses for two quarters, and if things continued like this, there was a risk of bankruptcy.

The only project that could potentially turn the tide was the collaboration with the Graham Group. Chloe felt overwhelmed by the situation. If she and Joseph had not divorced, perhaps the Grahams would have been willing to lend a helping hand to the Johnsons. But now…

Chloe busied herself into the late hours of the night, racking her brain for ways to turn the situation around. She dismissed Benjamin’s previous plan as unfeasible and did not use it. As she was lost in thought, her phone that was placed on the edge of the table suddenly rang, startling her.

She answered the call, and Joseph’s cold voice came from the other end. “How long do you expect me to wait for you?”
