When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 1362

Chapter 1362 It Must Be Emmanuel 

Calvin furrowed his brows as he listened to the elders on the phone. “Since the board has entrusted me with all the overseas operations, they should trust me unconditionally!” 

“Don’t think we old folks are clueless about your intentions. You’re doing this for that married woman! The board has unanimously decided not to provide you with any more funding unless you come back and admit your mistake. And if you can’t bear to let that woman go, we’ll take care of it ourselves!” The voice on the other end delivered the ultimatum before abruptly hanging up. 

Calvin gripped his phone tightly. 

He hadn’t expected that even while he was abroad, this group of stubborn elders would still find ways to interfere. 

Without hesitation, he dialed Yannick’s number. “Are you aware of what those old geezers are up to?” 

Yannick sighed heavily. “I knew they wouldn’t let you get involved with Cecilia. I warned you before.” 

Calvin’s tone turned sharp. “Did you rat me out?” 

“Of course not!” Yannick replied, sounding affronted. “How could I betray you? Have you forgotten Nook a beating for you back when Nathaniel’s people came after you?” 

Calvin paused, his suspicion easing, knowing that Yannick wasn’t the type to stoop so low. 

“Then it must be Emmanuel!” Calvin’s voice hardened as the realization hit. 

Emmanuel, his older brother and the official heir to the Reese family, had always seen Calvin as a threat to his position. 

“Your brother has always been a schemer,” Yannick warned. “You’d better watch your back.” 

“I know,” Calvin replied coolly before hanging up. 

Setting the phone down, Calvin tapped the desk rhythmically, frustration gnawing at him. 

News of the Jamieson family’s boycott of Ceci Corporation spread rapidly among major companies. 

Those who had promised Cecilia a week to resolve issues abruptly terminated their contracts. 

The only remaining collaborators were Meredith and the initial partnership with the Reese family. 

Helen, one of their partners, expressed her regret over the phone. “Ms. Cecilia, I’m truly sorry. My husband is too afraid of the consequences if we continue working with you.” 

Cecilia’s response was calm and understanding. “Don’t worry, I understand. I won’t hold it against you.” 

She knew the Jamieson family’s power. 

Crushing smaller businesses like Helen’s husband’s company or even larger entities was child’s play for them. 

Cecilia also reached out to Meredith to discuss terminating their agreement.

“Ceci, I’m not afraid of her. How long can that old hag even keep this up?” Meredith remarked defiantly. 

Cecilia responded with measured resolve. “We still have our futures ahead of us. Let’s use this time to rebuild and strengthen ourselves so that one day, we can stand against her.” 

“All right.” She chose not to argue further, knowing the weight Cecilia carried. 

In truth, Meredith had her struggles. Recently divorced from Zeke of the Turner family, her position within the Seiler family was precarious. Without major businesses to fall back on, she couldn’t afford to confront the Jamieson’s head–on either. 

Meanwhile, Zeke had quietly kept tabs on Meredith.
