The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet

"You..." Zephyr was choked up, unable to believe Lysander would throw his own words back at him like this.

Previously, when Thalassa showed up to whisk Lysander away from his own wedding, Zephyr, in a fit of rage, had told Lysander that if he dared to leave with Thalassa, then he would have nothing to do with the Sinclair Group ever again!

He hadn't expected Lysander to take it to heart.

"After everything, the Sinclair family is your own flesh and blood, and the Sinclair Group is a company you once poured your heart into. How can you just stand by and watch it crumble?" Zephyr took a deep breath, his face stern.

“If I didn't do this, the Sinclair Group would be doomed," Lysander said, his eyes shining with wisdom.

Zephyr looked incredulous. "What do you mean by that?"

"You really think the shareholders wouldn't pull out?" Lysander continued, "Even if they don't pull out now, within a month, if they don't see the company turning a profit, they will still leave in droves. If they pull out now, they won't take much with them. Payton can still use the remaining funds to keep things afloat. Whether he can revive it or not, that's up to him."

"But what's the difference between pulling out now and a month later?" Zephyr asked, puzzled.

Isn't it all the same in the end? Where's the opportunity?

"The difference lies in Payton," Lysander analyzed.

Zephyr's eyes, clouded with confusion, focused intently on Lysander, waiting for him to continue.

Lysander had always been sharp and strategic. If it weren't for his entanglement with a woman, Zephyr would trust him the most.

Under Zephyr's expectant gaze,

Lysander said, "Why do you think

squanders the profits I made, it's the ultimate revenge. As long as the shareholders from my time are still in the Sinclair Group, Payton's resentment won't fade, and he'll continue to make business decisions out of spite. That way, the losses will just keep mounting."

"But, if I take away the shareholders who are loyal to me and completely sever my ties with the Sinclair Group, Payton will see me and my people as the enemy. He'll doPlease check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

focusing on making profitable decisions. The company's current cash flow is enough for him to make a turnaround. Whether he can revive it or not, that's on him."

Lysander laid out his reasoning for Zephyr to hear.

Zephyr listened, his brows furrowing then slowly relaxing.

Lysander was right. Over the years, Zephyr had indeed been running the company with a vengeful heart.

He deliberately avoided profitable investments, choosing risky ones instead.

Wasn't it all to spite Lysander? To prevent the shareholders who had been with Lysander from reaping any benefits, dragging everyone down with him.

By taking his people with him, Lysander could also remove Payton's hatred, allowing him to conduct business more rationally.

Hearing Lysander's heartfelt words eased Zephyr's mind, but he still had his concerns.

“Are you really doing this just for Thalassa?" Zephyr asked again.

“Of course, I have my own selfish reasons," Lysander didn't hide.

"Starting a jewelry business was initially for Thalassa, to give her a platform to showcase her talent, to fulfill her dreams. Otherwise, I wouldn't be starting from scratch, diving back into the businessworld," Lysander spoke his truth.
