The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 483

The employees in the meeting were all on tenterhooks.

"What you need to do is pack up your things and leave within half an hour," Lysander's icy voice echoed through the room.

Chad's face turned ghostly white. "Mr. Sinclair, our small firm isn't that profitable. Why would you want to buy it out?"

"You're annoying." Lysander had no patience for Chad.

His decisions were final and non-negotiable.

Chad was at a loss, unsure of how he'd upset Lysander.

He'd thought that winning the gourmet competition would secure Lysander's investment and solidify a relationship with the Sinclair group, thus paving the way for his brighter future.

But instead, they were to be bought out.

And in just thirty minutes, he was out of the game.

The news of the buyout sent shock waves through the room, leaving the employees in a state of fear and uncertainty.

Landing their positions hadn't been easy; and with a change in management, their jobs were now hanging by a thread.

Thalassa was also taken aback. She glanced at Lysander; his icy composure and regal aura were making him untouchable.

He'd bought their company? Just like that?

Chad knew better than to push his luck. Angering Lysander would only end in disaster, so he hung his head and trudged out of the room, defeated.

Lysander's deep gaze swept over the employees around the conference table.

Everyone sat stiffly, heads bowed, not daring to draw attention to themselves at such a critical moment.

The atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating.

Just like the rest, Bruce had his head bowed in silence. But he was torn. Unlike the others, he had Thalassa as his safety net.
