Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 822: Chapter 825: Unexpected Call (1) (Extra 3)

“Lena Hammond… didn’t Lena Hammond go back to her hometown?”

The shareholders and directors were all puzzled, wondering how Lena Hammond could be involved in this matter.

After leaving her position, Lena had not appeared in A City for a long time; everyone remembered hearing she had gone back to her hometown.

“Lena Hammond didn’t go back to her hometown, she just went into hiding,” said Blake, who used to be David Redington’s agent. Skilled in dealing with the media, handling such unpredictable situations came naturally to him.

“Miss Lena Hammond’s life was threatened, and the person threatening her was none other than Mrs. Taylor, Rowena Gray. If Mr. Wellington hadn’t happened to show up and save Lena, by now, she might have been murdered by this fugitive.”

“Our lady brought the person here today to hand him over to the police along with Rowena Gray. Additionally, she wanted to remind those present just what kind of person Rowena Gray really is.”

When Blake had finished speaking, his words triggered a wave of discussion among the other shareholders and directors.

Indeed, that Rowena Gray was too horrifying.

Her grudge against Lena Hammond was not so deep; it was mostly just a disagreement on company matters and business rivalry.

But such issues are common in ordinary colleague interactions and corporate competition.

For ordinary people, the worst that could happen would be harboring a grudge over such matters. But in Rowena Gray’s case, she actually went as far as hiring a hitman!

With such a woman, who would dare to work with her? Who wouldn’t fear that one day, if they inadvertently offended her in a business matter, she might hire someone to kill them too?

Thinking of this, Director Hamilton felt a particularly strong sense of empathy.

Apart from Lena Hammond, within the Gray family, he was the other major obstacle for Rowena Gray.

Director Hamilton and the directors behind him all unconsciously wiped away the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Luckily, this matter had been exposed by Miss Lily Redington, or otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Now, Rowena Gray was utterly weak in the knees, hanging on her assistant, unable to utter even a single word of explanation.

Plastic surgery, a villa, seventy-five million in loans… and now hiring a hitman…

Although she remembered only instructing that man to intimidate Lena Hammond, her guilt and the admission of the fugitive as described by Blake made her believe that the man harbored malicious intentions and later harassed Lena.

Her mind was in complete disarray, knowing she was beyond salvation, beyond salvation… The only one who could save her now was…

“Ma’am, what do we do?” the assistant asked Rowena Gray quietly, herself also in a panic.

“Quick, inform Mr. Taylor. Right, and Milly too; tell Milly to save me…”

In the end, Rowena Gray was taken away by the police.

Together with the fugitive, she was brought back to Police Headquarters.

Blake Graham, as Lily’s representative lawyer, was fully responsible for the subsequent prosecution against Rowena Gray.

Meanwhile, because Lily held the original shares of the Gray family, she could return to the Gray family at any time as long as the equity change registration was completed.

Director Hamilton and the others were highly impressed with her as the ‘new shareholder’; Lily effortlessly reclaimed her position as CEO of the Gray family.

On her first day back at the Gray family, she unexpectedly received a call in her office.

“Hello, who’s this?” she asked on the phone, not expecting the identity of the caller.

On the other end came a voice, cold yet with a hint of youthful softness, “I’m Ben Lucas, I’m looking for Lily Redington.”
