?Chapter 751:


    She closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind, when a thought struck her like a flicker of light in the dark. “The two projects currently under our wing—they’re both under my management. If I leave now, they’ll be left hanging.”


    A spark of hope ignited within her. “Yes! Andromache is my godmother. She won’t stand for this. Once she hears about me being ousted, she’ll make sure they pay.”


    Sonia gazed at her, torn between worry and hesitation. “Leah…” She ced a gentle hand on her daughter’s. “You don’t have to hold on so tightly to this. Remember, your father wanted you to take over thepany as a bridge to the Ashton family. As long as your rtionship with Bruce remains strong, you can still marry into the Ashton family, even without thepany backing.”


    Marry into the Ashton family…


    Leah’s mind fixated on the words, each syble ringing in her ears.


    She had once believed it without question, but Bruce’s cold attitude today left her uneasy, as though something beyond her grasp was slipping away, just out of reach.


    Since returning from abroad, she had noticed Bruce’s change. No longer the soft-spoken, considerate young man he once was three years ago, he had adopted a quiet, inscrutable calm.


    The more she tried to understand him, the more elusive he became. But one thing was certain: to avoid being cast aside, she had to possess more advantages.


    She couldn’t afford to step down now.


    Just as her thoughts spiraled, the door swung open with a sharp creak. Corey entered, his face set in grim lines, a heavy aura of authority surrounding him. “Come to my study,” he said coldly and left without another word.


    A momentter, Leah stood before him in the study, her heart racing.


    Before she could speak, Corey’s voice cut through the silence like a de. “The shareholders want you out. You should start packing your things from the office. Now.”


    Get thetest gα?ησν???s


    The finality of his tone left no room for argument.


    Leah clenched her fists at her sides, trying desperately to keep herposure. “Dad, is there really no room for negotiation?”


    “Negotiation?” Corey’s lip curled in disdain. “Do you realize someone is exploiting this chaos to secretly buy up our shares? The shareholders might seem calm on the surface, but many of them are already selling their shares privately.”


    Leah’s face went pale, disbelief washing over her. “How… how is this even possible?”


    Corey didn’t let up. “That’s not all. I had people follow Emily and Luna. Guess where they went?”


    His eyes gleamed with mockery.


    Leah’s throat tightened, her breath catching in her chest. “Where?”


    “Ford Group!”


    The words struck Leah like a p of thunder.
