?Chapter 1092:


    Several were now red with fury, fists clenched, teetering on the edge of mming their palms against the table.


    Yet none could disguise one unsettling truth: They had just been outmaneuvered by a woman they had gravely underestimated.


    Linsey didn’t even dignify the haughty old directors with a reaction. With a faint roll of her eyes, she crossed her arms and spoke with calm confidence. “Let me make something very clear to you. The moment I take over as CEO of Lawson Group, my husband—the founder of CR Corporation—will immediately propose a new partnership with us, reestablishing the coboration that was abruptly cut off four years ago.”


    Her words, delivered with effortless grace, sent an immediate ripple of excitement through the room.


    Even Cruz, M, and Jeffery turned to her in stunned disbelief.


    None of them had heard a whisper of this possibility before.


    And yet, what Linsey had just offered wasn’t a mere promise—it was a golden bridge to survival.


    A renewed alliance with CR Corporation would bring tremendous benefit to Lawson Group, now more than ever. It was obvious to all: Collin’s one and only condition was that Linsey take the reins. Around the table, the eyes of the directors began to gleam with a renewed fervor.


    Their once-wavering expressions gave way to hope, ambition—even desperation—as though Linsey alone held the key to the firm’s salvation.


    After a tense moment of silence, one of the directors finally broke ranks and said, “I fully support Linsey taking over as CEO of the firm.” And just like that, the rest followed like dominoes.


    “With Linsey at the helm, Lawson Group is bound to flourish! I second the motion!”


    “Drake, Rowan—perhaps it’s time to stop this debate. Linsey is Cruz’s daughter. She’s the rightful heir to the firm’s future. There’s no need for further deliberation.”


    Drake Greville and Rowan Swain, who had been clinging tightly to their ambitions, visibly stiffened.

    Their faces were practically stone. But even in their resentment, they couldn’t deny it—Linsey had yed her hand masterfully. She had presented the trump card no one could counter.


    Given the firm’s declining state, a partnership with CR Corporation had once seemed out of reach.


    In fact, their abrupt fallout with CR Corporation had cost them dearly, both financially and in reputation.


    They had struggled for four long years just to stay afloat. And now, a lifeline had been offered—one they couldn’t afford to reject.


    With a tight, forced smile, Drake muttered, “I have no objections.”


    Rowan followed, clearly swallowing his pride. “Nor do I.”


    Cruz, who had been bracing for a long battle with these stubborn old men, finally allowed himself to exhale. Linsey had done more in a few words than he could have aplished with hours of persuasion.


    He was deeply moved. Not just by her cleverness, but by her willingness to bring CR Corporation’s support to the family—clearly a gesture of love from Collin, but also a sign of Linsey’s own resolve.
