"That's quite a good amount, " said Dawn with interest in her eyes."How did you come to know about him and why hasn't the buyer contacted me directly?" Those questions reeled in her mind at the moment.
"He contacted me through some government official I know, and I was even surprised when I received the call. They wouldn't have had your number to call or it is possible that they kind of sent their feelers in the market first just to test if you were even willing, " said Hans Müller."Buyers won't come straight to the owners and say that we want to buy your company."
The elevator dinged and they stepped out on her floor. Dawn nodded. The man had a point."Well I would like to think about it before plunging into something like this. It is a serious matter. More than selling the company I would like to see who the buyer is."
"That's fair enough Madam. That's why you should talk to him as soon as possible since he is leaving the country tomorrow. I am sure buyers like that must be having more offers at hand. So to assist you I can sit down with you and with the finance team to gauze the value of the company, what all can you expect and what all you should ask the potential buyer."
Though Dawn felt she was being pushed, she found herself concurring to Hans."Okay, come back in an hour with the team. Let's do it!"
"Sure Ma'am, " he said with a grin and left with a bounce in his tread. 𝗳re𝙚w𝐞𝚋noѵ𝗲𝚕 - 🅽🅽novel
Dawn smiled seeing him so excited. This guy had proven to be pretty valuable for the company. In her MBA lessons she had read that no one does charity in the business world. They all had some motive to do good or bad. She was sure that Hans was driven by a motive and the most likely would be that he must have been expecting money from the deal. Well, she had to find out. With that thought in mind, Dawn walked inside her office. At first she thought that she would call Daryn and cancel their dinner date, but then she waited because it made sense to hold the meeting with her staff. Daryn was an extremely jealous alpha and she didn't want to be on his angry side. The word 'jealous' made her giggle. She shook her head and sat on the office chair. As she switched on her computer, suddenly everything looked bright with Pia gone from her life. She didn't feel one bit guilty of banning her from the tribe. Things were peaceful. In a way she had banned her from her life.
Her phone buzzed and without seeing the number she picked it up."Hello."
"Mrs. Silver?" a female voice came from the other end.

After her spat with Anne and with the Finance Head Lily Wyatt felt a dull ache in her chest. Scared that she would get another heart attack, she took out the blood pressure monitor from her office drawer, wrapped the strip around her arm and pressed the button to check it. It was on the higher side but her doctor had given the range and it fitted in that range. She huffed and then removed the strip. Once again she looked at the screen and this time she delved further back to see what all funds had Helena and Anne diverted from the business.
Her search took her to Anne's office. She asked her secretary to switch on her computer. As soon as the screen came live, Lily scanned through all the folders right from five years back and to her horror she discovered her secret accounts, files that mentioned how much she had funneled to them from Wyatts. In the next one hour, she had seen documents, pdf files and XL sheets of the past two years and she couldn't believe that Anne had duped her so much. She leaned back with disgust and despair. She had trusted Anne so much so instead of working for her, why did she choose to fall in the trap of Helena. She thought to carry one.
While browsing through the files, she found a folder named, 'Don't Open'. Obviously curiosity killed Lily. She clicked to open it, but it was password protected. She tried several passwords but none worked. What could be so important that it was protected by a password? In the end, out of frustration Lily typed her name and the file opened. Shocked, she saw that there were more folders inside, each containing video recordings. One of them was titled Luke Wyatt. Lily clicked on the video file.
"My god, Helena, that is a devil plan. If anyone comes to know, you will be jailed for life, " said Anne. She was sitting on a sofa in a blue lingerie.
Helena walked behind her. She leaned down, cupped her breasts inside the lingerie and then kissed her forehead."I am doing all this for you babes, " she said."You know I love you more than Luke."
Anne pressed her breasts in her hand more."Damn it woman, I know."
Helena left her and walked to the bar where the camera was fitted. She poured a glass of whiskey for her and then said, "With Luke out of our lives it would be very easy to tackle with his kids. I have already made plans to eliminate them."
"But taking down my brother isn't easy Helena. He is a very influential man. They would investigate his murder like hell."
Helena went back to her and sat in her lap."No kitten, " she said and kissed her lips."Once he is murdered, I will make sure that his kids are dead and after that you have to force your mother not to pursue the investigation. That way no one will suspect us."
Anne bit her lip with excitement and then laughed."You evil witch!" she said."I can't wait to see them all out. The Wyatt business is going to be yours and mine forever! That bitch Clare and her spawns—God, I hate them so much. Mother hates them like hell! She would drop the investigation. After all she is just as greedy as I am"
The two started to laugh and kiss fervently.
Anne pulled out."So when would you execute the plan and who is going to help you?"
Helena kept the glass on the table and said, "Soon. And this time Jason is going to help me."
Anne's excitement was palpable. There was no remorse about her brother's murder. Instead she was thrilled.
Helena put her hands inside her thighs and said, "What are you planning with David?"
"We need him babes, " said Anne."My daughter loves her father a lot. If he goes then Cecilia would go with him. I will tell him about us eventually, but not now."
"Hmm..."
"But tell me love, why do you prefer me over Luke?"
"Because you are brighter and he refuses to marry me. If I can't be his wife, I don't want to be called his mistress."
"Fair choice, " said Anne and the video went off.
Lily Wyatt stared at the blank screen. She didn't realize that her eyes were flooded with tears until a sob left her throat. She pressed her mouth with her hands. Lily didn't know how, but she fell on the floor. She was soon taken to the hospital and doctors detected brain stroke.
The nurse called the only relative she thought might be of help—Dawn Silver.
