The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 709 Marriage And Shared Assets

Previously, the management knowledge Lysander had acquired to take over the Thorne Constructions and Energies suddenly came in handy.

Of course, Josiah was indeed a good mentor when it came to business matters. He frequently used his own company as a case study to teach Lysander. Now, she could quickly grasp the current situation and find a way forward.

Olivia’s gaze toward Lysander carried a hint of admiration.

“Mrs. Guerra, if Mr. Guerra were in the office now, I wouldn’t have anything to worry about. But before Tiffany took him away, she deliberately put on a tearful show in the main lobby on the first floor. Now everyone knows he hasn’t returned yet. All I can do is guard that door,” said Olivia.

Lysander’s brow twitched as she replied, “The collaboration fund is not a small amount. To access such a sum, one must have Josiah’s signature or seal. I don’t believe they would dare to barge in blindly.”

That would be far too brash of the culprits.

As they spoke, the elevator reached the ground floor.

Olivia opened the elevator door, leading Lysander to the conference room where a heated argument was in full swing. Only after she listened to the commotion inside did she quietly relay a few pieces of information to Lysander.

“I can’t do anything against those higher–ups. Everyone in there ranks above me. There’s even one who’s a major shareholder, Seth Camacho. Rumor has it that he used to be at the beck and call of Mr. Guerra’s father. Regardless of any true. achievements he may have, Seth is still an experienced board member who has put in hard work. I can only use Mr. Guerra’s name to keep them in check for the time being

“All right, thank you.” Whatever Lysander could hear through the door was already giving her a splitting headache. However, Olivia managed to persuade everyone to enter the conference room, which undoubtedly exhausted much effort.

With a bitter smile, Olivia said, “I’m just doing my job. Ms. Collins gave me a lot of instructions before she left, but judging by the situation, I doubt even she could have controlled this crowd. It seems only Mr. Guerra can handle this situation.”

Lysander tried dialing Josiah’s number again, but there was still no answer.

After taking a deep breath, Olivia suggested, “Mrs. Guerra, at this point, no one else but you is powerful enough to persuade them.”
