Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 544

When Henry heard this, he stopped and his thin lips moved. Just when he was about to say something, the phone in his pocket rang and stopped what he was about to say.

He took the phone out of his pocket with a dark face and glanced at the screen coldly. When he saw the word "Shannon" flashing on the screen, he seemed startled.

Joe immediately noticed that his expression suddenly became more at ease, and even the icy aura around him was not as cold anymore.

Who was it?

Who was the person who could change Mr.

Lancaster's mood from gloomy to warm?

As Joe wondered, he mustered the courage to glance a t Henry's phone. When he looked at the caller ID, he suddenly realized who it was.

He should have known.

Nowadays, besides Miss Smith, who else did Mr. Lancaster care about?

Joe pouted and took the initiative to move aside to give Henry some privacy so that he would not be eavesdropping on his phone call.

Joe's movements obviously captured Henry's

attention.

Henry glanced at him and ignored it. He then put the phone to his ear. "Hello?"

"Henry, have you heard?" Yvonne's attractive husky voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

Henry felt as if she was blowing into his ears and it made him a little itchy. His heart felt like it was being teased by a feather. His voice became hoarse. "Heard about what?"

"Corporate war alliance," Yvonne replied.

"What’s that?" Henry frowned slightly.

On the other end of the phone, Yvonne's head was slightly lowered, making her expression difficult to see. The aura around her was gloomy, but her tone was the complete opposite from the aura that she was emitting.

"I don’t know the details. All I know is that someone in Vancouver initiated a corporate war alliance. My assistant just received an invitation earlier. The invitation said that I would join this corporate war alliance and join forces to attack several companies, such as the Lambert Group, the Wadkins Group, and a few other companies. There are also several other companies that have received the invitation, so I wanted to ask if you received it."

"Join forces against the Lambert Group, the Wadkins

Group, and other companies?"

"Yeah, I'm surprised. Moreover, the invitation said that the initiator of the corporate war would let companies who've received the invitation get equal parts of the Lambert Group, the Wadkins Group, and other companies, whereas the initiator did not want anything. This is the first time I've seen such a corporate war initiator this generous," Yvonne said.

Henry pursed his thin lips. He suddenly thought of something and his eyes narrowed. After taking the phone away from his ear, he asked Joe who was beside him, "Except for Anna Lancaster, which families are the other bullies from?"

Joe thought for a while and replied, "They are from the Lambert Group, the Wadkins Group, the Ludlow Group, the Zale Group, and the Carrel Group."

Henry whispered to himself, 'I was right.'

The corporate war alliance that Shannon said was started by Theo's mother. There could only be one reason, which was to join forces with other large companies in Vancouver to take these companies down.

The Lambert Group and Wadkins Group were not big companies in Vancouver — they could even be considered as the bottom of the chain.

With Theo's mother's background, she could easily take down any one of the companies, but it would be more difficult to deal with several companies at once.

That was why Theo’s mother initiated this corporate war alliance. In the name of joining forces, she persuaded some companies to help her deal with the companies whose children were involved in bullying Theo. By doing so, those companies would definitely g o down, and they would eventually be destroyed for good.

And Shannon just said that the initiator of the corporate war could let them have equal parts of the companies. It was obvious that Theo's mother’s real intention was for these companies to go bankrupt.
