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.

"I can only give it a shot, but I can't guarantee it'll work." A moment later, Lysander pushed open the door to the conference room and entered without a word.
The company's executives squabbling over profits were hardly more dignified than the customers haggling at the farmer's market. Hearing the door open, however, they all turned to look in unison.
The room, which was just bustling with a cacophony of voices earlier, suddenly fell eerily silent.
Henry, who had never met Lysander, was naturally unaware of her identity. He directed his irritation toward Olivia and barked, "What's the meaning of this? Why did you bring a stranger here?" Olivia was a trusted aide to Carol, and Carol, in turn, served the srole to Josiah.

A board director with greying temples was the first to react, "You! Y-you're the biological daughter of the Thorne family, the one who has only recently been acknowledged." "That's me." Lysander didn't deny his claim.
"No wonder Mr. Guerra's stance toward Thorne Constructions and Energies changed so drastically. I didn't know there was such a story involved. To be linked with both daughters of the Thorne family-" The one speaking was a colleague sitting beside Henry. He was suddenly elbowed, which caused him to promptly cut off his sentence.
