At Lockhart Group, Zev officially assumed leadership and convened an internal meeting.

“Mr. Zion, you’ve just taken over, yet you lack both experience and expertise. I suggest you stay humble, listen more, and consider the advice of us veterans–especially Ms. Clarissa’s.”

Within the senior management, the room was split–half sided with Clarissa, while the others were loyal to

Ken.

As a newcomer, Zev had no allies besides Hanson.

Even Wade had anticipated the difficulties he would face, intentionally pushing him toward the Brooks to

create tension.

But now, after Zev offended the Brooks entirely, Clarissa felt even bolder.

Hearing the remark, she lifted her chin with pride. “You’re young and impulsive, Mr. Zion. You should heed our advice. While you were absent, we were the ones keeping the Lockhart Group afloat. The success we’ve built is something you should learn from–and respect.”

Zev met her gaze, showing a faint smile.

They were trying to establish dominance.

Clarissa remained unfazed. Thea’s lack of cooperation wasn’t an issue–Vincent would always protect his sister. Now, with Thea stirring trouble and Zev unwilling to yield, the Brooks had no reason to support him. In Seaville’s business circle, relationships and competence dictated success. Right now, Zev had neither. “Since you’re new here, Mr. Zion, it would be best to take your time familiarizing yourself with operations. The departments can continue running as usual.” Those aligned with Clarissa mistook Zev’s silence for incompetence.

Maggie, seated nearby, was the only one looking uneasy, keeping her head down.

“If Mr. Zion has nothing to add, shall we adjourn?” the head of the technical department tentatively suggested.

Ken, sitting across from Clarissa, wore a displeased expression.

He was waiting for Zev to assert his authority, to prove himself as Lockhart Group’s new CEO. Only then would he step in to solidify his position. But Zev remained silent, and Ken couldn’t read his strategy.

“Mr. Zion hasn’t even said a word, yet you’re already making decisions and calling the meeting to a close? Why not just hand the Lockhart Group over to you?” Hanson questioned sternly.

Zev wouldn’t have said something so blunt, but Hanson could. After all, he represented Zev.

“What do you mean?” someone shot back. “Before Mr. Zion took over, the company was running smoothly, and our projects were thriving. We’ve contributed immense value-”

“The company paid you salaries and bonuses, didn’t it?” Hanson cut in, his tone mocking. “Or are you trying to claim you’ve been making sacrifices? Have you converted those into cash figures?”

Silence fell over the room as several executives exchanged uneasy glance. –

“Mr. Zian, Shawn has officially taken over Wagner Group. He’s currently one of the strongest players in the business world, both in skill and strategy. For years, Wagner Group has been a close partner of Lockhart Group, but now that Shawn is in charge, their projects and interests overlap with ours. The stability that Mr. Wade built is over. From now on, it’s a battle between the next generation?

Clarissa fixed her gaze on Zev, making it clear she intended to overpower him.

So, Mr. Zion, it’s time to be realistic and put in the effort. You don’t have the necessary expertise or leadership experience, I suggest you stay out of decision–making for now.”

She flashed a smile, fully expecting him to remain a passive figurehead,

Ken, however, responded firmly, stepping in to support Zev, “Clarissa, experience can be gained, and skills can be developed Lockhart Group is not for you to interfere with,”

Clarissa smirked. “Oh, that’s right, you’re still here. What a shame. You should stick to running your malls and hotels–our business operations are out of your league, aren’t they?”
