“In Ziphon, Tristan orchestrated the sale of over 30% of the Lenoir Group’s shares, previously held by him and Raymond, to the Weiss family.”

“Now, under the helm of the eldest son, Sebastian, the Weiss family, including Yolanda, Sebastian’s elder sister, has control. Yolanda has also obtained half of the shares purchased by the Weiss family this time.”

“Lennon believes that Yolanda presents a crucial opportunity for us to repurchase the shares. She requested a meeting with me, and Lennon clandestinely arranged for her to attend.”

“I only discovered this morning, upon arriving at the company, that Lennon had organized such a banquet in my honor.”

Cherise rested in Damien’s embrace, attuned to his steady heartbeat and breath. She knew he wasn’t deceiving her.
