?Chapter 883:


    After all, Lizzie owned thergest share of thepany. As long as she could deliver results and steer thepany toward sess, it was only natural for her to take on the role of chairwoman.


    Furthermore, the business world was certainly notcking in strong and capable women. Rachel truly believed that Lizzie had the potential to seed.


    But at this moment, they were simply too weak to make a real impact.


    Together, their abilities weren’t enough to stabilize thepany.


    Rachel had carried her worries for too long, and just as Lizzie was getting better, she found herself falling ill.


    Lying in the hospital bed, she looked fragile and helpless, her pale hands showing the clear outline of her veins.


    She had caught a cold, and her throat was painfully hoarse.


    Despite feeling so ill, she couldn’t bring herself to rest. Wrapped in a nket, she sat up in bed and began reviewing the documents.


    The Vance Group had been An’sbor of love, and no matter what, she had to safeguard it.


    Yvonne came to visit and, seeing Rachel’s frail state, felt a pang of sympathy. “Put those down and rest, you’re in no condition to keep going like this.”


    Rachel shook her head. “I can’t afford to rest, not while thepany is at risk.”


    “Do you really think thepany will be fine just because you finish these documents?” Yvonne responded, raising an eyebrow.


    She had a valid point. The problems thepany faced couldn’t be fixed simply by working harder or pushing through a few sleepless nights.


    Right now, without a guiding hand or a strategist to offer insight, every decision felt like a struggle. One misstep could easily snowball into a series of problems.


    “Yvonne, right now…” Rachel stopped, reached out, and hugged her, leaning against her with a worried and sad look.


    The more she thought about it, the heavier her worry became.


    “How about some orange? It might help,” Yvonne suggested gently, handing her a sliced orange. As Rachel took the third slice, she heard Yvonne’s voice beside her.


    ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????? g???????ν?????????????


    “Rachel, have you ever considered that you don’t have to carry all this burden on your own? Some problems are bigger than any one person can handle. If you just ask, someone will step in and help. Everything can be fixed.”


    Yvonne let her words linger in the air, and Rachel, though silent, understood the unspoken meaning all too clearly.


    Even Natalia, who came to visit Rachel, said as she left, “Rachel, do you realize? Brian has been waiting for you. Ever since you two parted ways, he’s done everything he could for you. Now that you’re unwell, he wants to see you, but he’s holding back, afraid it might upset you. I asked him toe with me, but he refused. He said he didn’t want to interrupt your healing. Rachel…” Natalia hesitated for a moment, as if unsure whether to continue.


    Sometimes, those who stand outside the storm can see things more clearly, while those caught in it only get more tangled in the chaos.
