Revenge After Death

Chapter 126

Steven sat beside the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, exuding an air of solitude and aloofness. However, given his past and his lack of experience running the company, it would take time for him to fully take charge.

I used to admire Michael's demeanor, which seemed fitting for a businessman.

Yet now, in Steven's presence, Michael appeared completely subdued.

The silence was shattered with Michael's voice. "I must admit, I'm surprised by the Lincoln Group's sincerity. It seems they don't take this collaboration seriously since they've sent a fool to greet us."

"Indeed, there's no need for the collaboration," Steven retorted coldly.

Steven appeared even more menacing in Michael's presence.

Michael frowned. If there was no need for further discussion, why had Steven personally summoned him here?

In the past, the Ford family may not have posed a challenge to the Lincolns. However, with Ignatius gone, relying solely on a fool like Steven would inevitably lead to their downfall.

"The absence of a leader in the Lincoln family has placed the burden on your shoulders. However, with your sole leadership, the Lincoln Group is destined to collapse," Michael remarked calmly as he stood up, showing no desire to prolong the conversation.

"Mr. Ford, sincerity is key in business relationships. While the Ford Group stands to benefit from this collaboration, your lack of sincerity is clear. Despite your disrespect, my husband has chosen not to have security escort you out. If you wish to collaborate, please show more sincerity," I emphasized.

Then, I walked to Steven and nudged him.

If this collaboration were to fall apart, Martin would certainly criticize Steven upon his return.

It was best not to act stubbornly when establishing authority within the company.

Steven's stare on Michael was icy, but he quickly shifted to a pitiful, puppy-eyed expression when he looked at me. I couldn't help but wonder if he had a split personality to switch expressions so effortlessly.

Feeling uneasy, I cleared my throat. "Mr. Ford, Mr. Lincoln Senior is unwell, and Steven is the sole heir of the Lincoln Group. So, learn to show respect. Then, we can discuss further collaboration."

This was the first time I had spoken so assertively to Michael.

Despite Michael's harsh treatment in the past, I never dared to resist as I feared it might upset

But now, I was no longer Stephanie, so I didn't have to worry anymore.

"If you're here to help Steven establish his authority in the Lincoln Group, then our partnership is essential," Michael noted, clearly aware of the current dynamics of the Lincoln family. "Looks like you need my support now."

Michael's true colors were showing once again. He couldn't seem to shake off his habit of threatening others.

This project isn't exclusive to the Ford Group," Steven asserted as he held me close. "It seems like it's anyone's game now."

His hoarse voice carried an unexpected air of authority.

Michael stayed composed as his gaze landed on our intertwined hands. "Alright, let's wait and see," he replied calmly.

He was eager to see who would come out on top.
