Seducing the Mafia Boss Chapter 12

When I saw my capable assistant again, it was three days later.

Seeing my utterly disheveled appearance, Lucas Chen's eyes filled with surprise.

If not for his characteristically aloof personality, he probably would have asked if I'd gone wilderness survival somewhere.

After drifting at sea for several days, I was physically and mentally exhausted with little interest in talking.

After simply drinking some water to recover, I asked Lucas about business.

"I saw you asking for help on the news. What happened?"

Lucas looked at my haggard face somewhat distressfully.

But knowing my work habits, he didn't say anything extra and answered the question straightforwardly.

"Ms. Shaw, you've been missing for half a month with your phone always off."

"Everyone in the company is anxious. They're all spreading rumors that you had some accident causing the disappearance."

"So your uncle and his people couldn't sit still anymore."

Lucas was indeed someone I'd personally promoted.

Even without instructions, he'd prepared all materials especially thoroughly.

As soon as I opened my mouth, he could hand me what I needed.

"These old foxes—when the company had funding chain problems and almost went bankrupt, they ran faster than anyone, practically wanting to sign agreements to sever ties with me."

"Now seeing profit, they're scrambling to share the cake, not even considering whether they have the ability."

The current Shaw family was my life's work built with my own hands.

Only I knew how much effort I'd put in to reach today.

So what if they were relatives? As long as I didn't agree, no one could touch it.

But my uncle's group of old foxes were more difficult than I thought.

When I showed up at the company again, it just happened to be this year's shareholder meeting.

Company executives at all levels and Shaw family relatives were all present.

Seeing me escape death, not only did they show no joy, they all revealed strange expressions.

Only then did I learn my original authority had been completely divided up.

If I'd returned any later, even my household registration would have been canceled.
