My expression darkened as I looked at Michael warily. What was he up to now?
“Who are you calling? Don’t disgust me!” I pushed Michael away and tried to exit the elevator.
Michael suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. “You’re Stephie, aren’t you?
However,
His hoarse voice was tinged with excitement.
Feeling uneasy, I forcefully pulled my hand away from Michael’s firm grip. “Stop acting crazy here.This is the Lincoln Group, not your home.”
As the elevator doors opened, the employees exited on the working floor. Only Michael, the
assistant, and I were in the elevator.
Michael remained silent. He stared at me, sending shivers down my spine.
“Mr. Ford, please follow me,” the assistant said as the elevator doors opened. Ewan was standingthere.
Seeing me,
he didn’t seem surprised at all.
Michael looked at me with a complex expression and walked straight out of the elevator.
I followed behind, still feeling shaken that Michael might have recognized me.
I reassured myself that he was deluding himself.
As my clenched hands slowly relaxed, I wiped the sweat from my palms and followed behind Ewan.“Has Steven arrived at the company? Are they giving him a hard time?”
Ewan calmly looked back at me. “Mr. Martin’s businesses are facing problems and are under policeinvestigation. He can’t come over right now. It seems like nobody else in the company dares tocause trouble for Mr. Lincoln at the moment.”
I was surprised. If Martin’s businesses were also facing problems, was it just luck that Steven hadavoided trouble, or was there something more to it all?
It all seemed too coincidental.
“Most of those who dare to oppose Mr. Lincoln are mainly aligned with Mr. Martin. With himcurrently absent, they likely won’t dare to make significant moves,” Ewan explained. I nodded inagreement.
Ignatius‘ prestige in the company wouldn’t disappear just because he was sick for a few days. Mostpeople in the company still feared him.

It would take some time for Martin to completely overhaul the Lincoln Group.
“Mr. Martin’s side won’t be delayed indefinitely. He’ll come back sooner or later to deal with Mr.Lincoln. So, the collaboration with the Ford Group must go through,” Ewan said.
“I’ve checked into this collaboration. Mr. Ford himself visited the Lincoln Group, so it seems they’rekeen on collaborating,” I murmured.
After a brief pause, I added, “Considering how strong the Lincoln Group is in Huma, there shouldn’tbe any issues unless Mr. Martin and Mr. Ford have struck a deal and are planning somethingtogether.” novelbin
However, it appeared to me that Michael hadn’t struck a deal with Martin yet.
Before entering the office, Ewan added, “Actually, it’s Mr. Lincoln who opposes collaborating withthe Ford Group.”
Steven was the one who declined cooperation with the Ford Group. He was the one behind all of
this.
“I’ve heard from the news that several projects of the Ford Group have encountered issues…” Imurmured softly before looking up at Ewan. “Steven shouldn’t have the capability to handle this…no?”
He was just a fool. In the past, he was abandoned and even lived in an orphanage.
It was unbelievable that he had only recently returned to the Lincoln family and now had theauthority to confront Michael.
Ewan remained silent. He opened the door and gestured for me to enter.
I stood at the doorway, hesitating for a while before stepping inside.
