The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1861

As soon as he began to speak, every eye in the room turned towards him, hanging on his next words.

Wyatt was buzzing with anticipation and nerves as he watched Lysander. He had been all in on supporting Lysander's comeback and was eager to gauge his stance.

Payton, on the other hand, looked at Lysander with a mix of threat and panic in his eyes. Though he now sat at the helm as CEO, appearing to be the most powerful man in the room, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease in Lysander’s presence. After all, Lysander was no ordinary man; he wasn't someone Payton could easily intimidate. He might have been able to bully Wyatt, but Lysander was a different story.

Amid the varying gazes, Lysander’s lips parted slightly as he began, “The Sinclair Group is a legacy built by Zephyr. He made it clear that whoever he chooses will lead it.”

Wyatt’s face fell at these words, his hope deflating as he slumped back into his chair. Lysander had no interest in taking over as CEO. It was over, all over!

Hearing Lysander’s words, Payton’s restless heart leapt with joy. Lysander was right; his position as CEO was appointed by Zephyr, and The Sinclair Group was Zephyr’s creation. Unless Zephyr spoke otherwise, no one could dethrone him from his position.

As the room buzzed with emotion, Lysander continued, “I naturally won’t return to The Sinclair Group.” His decision had been made the moment Thalassa crashed his wedding to Rosalind, choosing to leave with her. Zephyr had decreed that if he left, he would never be allowed back to lead The Sinclair Group. And he hadn’t looked back since. So, no matter what, returning to The Sinclair Group was off the table. He had only attended this shareholders’ meeting to gauge the current state of The Sinclair Group.

“But for those interested, now is the perfect time to invest in my own venture—a jewelry company.”

Just as Wyatt was sinking into despair, Lysander’s words took a sharp turn, stunning everyone present, including Payton, Wyatt, and Trenton! Payton was in disbelief, shocked by Lysander’s revelation about his own company. Wyatt’s despair turned to hope as he stared at Lysander, seeing a new dawn.

“Starting from scratch, the blueprint is fresh off the press. There are risks, of course, but participation is voluntary,” Lysander added.

Wyatt was the first to snap out of his daze, overwhelmed with excitement. “I’m in, I want in!” Just moments ago, Payton had pressured him to divest his shares in The Sinclair Group, and he had been reluctant. But now, hearing Lysander announce his new venture, there was no hesitation. Why cling to The Sinclair Group? After all, the real opportunity to make money was with Lysander, not The Sinclair Group!

Wyatt raised his hand, and soon, those aligned with Wyatt’s faction followed suit, eager to invest in Lysander’s new company. Even those shareholders from Payton’s camp, after a moment’s hesitation, raised their hands too. In no time, a majority of the shareholders around the table had their hands up, ready to follow Lysander’s lead. Only a few, a very few, chose to stay with Payton.

Seeing the tide turn, Payton slammed his fist on the table in fury!
