Revenge with My Undercover Can Iduling
Chapter 413 Kelly Assumes Control of Lockhart Group
At Lockhart Group, Quentin was seated in the midst of a meeting, the atmosphere flick with tension.
The executives around the table were stiff and silent, each one anxious about the uncertain future kencin over thepany.
Although Zev was often been seen as a reckless yboy with little regard for tradition, his absence now lefi a gaping void. Hisck of leadership skills was widely known, but without him, thepany was directionless and adrift,cking a clear leader.
Lockhart Group was in the midst of a financial disaster. Two major projects were running into serious funding problems, and with Zev gone, Wade''s death, and Ken''s defection, thepany was on the brink of copse. The loss of key figures had shaken the foundation of the organization, and the oue seemed grim.
However, this wasn''t the first time thepany had faced such a crisis.
Years ago, when Sylvester had been kidnapped and murdered, Lockhart Group had been at a crossroads.
Wade''s health had deteriorated drastically, and with no one at the helm, Lockhart Group had teetered on the edge of copse. But he had endured too much in his lifetime to let himself fall. He knew he had no choice-he couldn''t break, couldn''t falter. For Zev''s sake, he had to stay strong.
With Wade still inmand, Lockhart Group held its ce at the very top, unmoved by the chaos around it.
Everything he had built was meant for Zev. Say what you will-he was stubborn, inflexible, and unwilling to change-but in the end, his life was nothing short of extraordinary.
"Mr. Ashford, Mr. Lockhart ... " a voice quivered from the group.
If something happens to Mr. Lockhart...
"If something happens to Mr. Lockhart, who can hold thepany together? His sessor is too young, and no one else can take charge. With Ken gone, there''s no one left to guide Lockhart Group."
The executives were clearly rattled. The tension in the room was palpable, and the fear of an impending copse spread like wildfire.
"Mr. Ashford, can you shed some light on the financial situation? If this crisis can''t be fixed, we need to start making ns," another executive pressed.
Murmurs of agreement filled the room. Everyone in that meeting had their own stakes in thepany, and the idea of sticking around while Lockhart Group crumbled wasn''t appealing. If thepany was doomed, they wanted to get out while they still could.
"We''ve already had offers from otherpanies," one person added. "Headhunters are circling, clearly thinking Lockhart Group won''t survive. If we''re going to leave, now''s the time." Someone mentioned the matter of jumping ship.
Quentin sighed deeply. "I''ve spoken with Mrs. Lockhart. We''re working on a n to solve this crisis...
The weight of the situation was clear. If they couldn''t find a solution soon, Lockhart Group might not make it through.

Just then, Kelly stepped into the room
Sidney had warned hier that the people behind this situation were clever they knew.Zevis a
send thepany into turmoil.
No matter what Kelly decided, it seemed like those in the shadows would win.
If she sold the Wagner Group shares, the hidden forces would benefit, while Lockhart Group would wither away without proper leadership.
But if she refused to sell, thepany would fall apart, ending over a century of legacy.
It felt as if no matter what she did, the people pulling the strings would emerge victorious.
Or, if Zev''s fate was already sealed, Kelly herself might be their next target.
If she were taken out of the equation, her children would be pawns of the Wagners.
Kelly paused at the doorway, taking a steadying breath before pushing it open.

Upon seeing her, Quentin hesitated for a moment, visibly taken aback. "Kelly, what are you doing here? With unwavering confidence, Kelly stepped forward and took Zev''s seat at the head of the table. "Everyone, my husband is currently abroad on business. Unfortunately, he was injured and requires medical treatment overseas. He''ll be gone for approximately two months. Until his return, I will be temporarily stepping in to manage Lockhart Group."
Her words rang out clearly,manding the attention of the room.
The executives exchanged confused nces, speaking in low murmurs. "She''s
here to take charge? Does she even know how?"
"She''s a doctor, isn''t she? What does she know about running apany?" "Exactly...
Quentin hadn''t anticipated Kelly''s bold move.
Even now, he couldn''t take her seriously.
Zev may havecked natural charisma, but at least he had inherited some business sense from three generations of Lockharts inmerce.
Kelly, on the other hand, came from a family of schrs and doctors. The thought
of a doctor running a majorpany seemed absurd.
Quentin muttered under his breath, Kelly, this is something we should discuss privately. Managing apany isn''t a simple task...
Kelly''s gaze swept across the room. "I will prove myself through action. I will do everything necessary to guide us through this crisis. If you trust me, stay and help. If you don''t, feel free to leave."
She stood tall, her eyes scanning the room of murmuring executives. "As for the financial issues, I am prepared to sell all my shares in Wagner Group to aid Lockhart Group. If we work together, I promise that we will see greater rewards in the future. Once we''ve made progress, my assistant, Hanson, will handle sry adjustments and bonuses."

Chapter 413 Kelly Assumes Control of Lockhart Group
Sidney''s warning had been clear everyone here was motivated by profit. To stabilize thepany, Kelly needed to convince them that the crisis would be resolved, and then offer them a fangible incentive for staying. The executives had to feel assured that sticking with her would lead to a prosperous oue.
"Ms. Yeager, running apany is no joke. Do you truly have the ability and confidence to do this?" one of the executives asked, his doubt clear.
"My abilities are my own, but my confidencees from all of you. I am willing to sell my shares to save thispany, and I have faith in myself to lead Lockhart Group out of this crisis," Kelly replied, her voice steady and resolute.
The room fell into silence as the executives exchanged wary looks, but there was a shift in their demeanor. They began to reconsider their ns to abandon ship. Quentin''s expression darkened. He had hoped this crisis would cause the executives to flee, triggering a chain reaction that would bring down thepany. But Kelly''s unexpected intervention seemed to have restored some hope. ''Though he tried to hide it, Quentin was clearly rattled. He hadn''t yet figured out what Kelly was capable of
However, her offer to sell her shares was a significant move.
For now, she could trust no one but the Wagners. That''s where her loyalty lies.
"I''m willing to work with Ms. Yeager to help thepany through this crisis. After
all these years, we have an attachment to this group," one of the executives said, stepping forward.
Others quickly followed, voicing their support.
Kelly let out a quiet breath, a sense of relief washing over her. "In that case, thank you on behalf of my husband."
As the meeting came to an end, the executives filed out, one by one.
Quentin turned to Kelly. "Kelly, you said you''re going to sell the shares, but is that for real?"
Kelly nodded. "Yes. At this point, there''s no other option."
Quentin, though pleased, feigned regret. "It''s a tough decision. I''ll contact the Wagner Group right away and have their team draw up the acquisition n ording to the contract."
Kelly didn''t respond or offer any furtherment.
Quentin stood, preparing to take credit for the deal.
Kelly watched him leave, an expression of understanding crossing her face. Once
he was gone, she turned to Hanson. "Get everything prepared. First, we deal with
Quentin."
She needed to deal with Quentin-the wolf in the fold-before anything else.
