The Billionaire's Elusive Wife Chapter 9 --The Woman Who Doesn't Need anyone
The next morning, Laurent Corporation was already awake before most of its employees arrived.The previous night's gala had changed everything.By midnight, news of Elena Laurent's return had spread through business circles. Her thirty-one point two percent stake had become the main topic of conversation, and several major shareholders had already requested meetings with her.But there was one meeting that could not be avoided.The board meeting.At eight thirty in the morning, the directors of Laurent Corporation gathered inside the company's main boardroom.The long mahogany table had been polished until it reflected the morning light coming through the tall windows.It was the same room where Richard Laurent had spent years making decisions without anyone questioning him.This morning, however, his seat at the head of the table was empty.Elena was sitting there.She had arrived ten minutes earlier.She had not asked anyone to move Richard's chair.She simply walked into the room, looked

The questions came from every direction.“Miss Laurent, would you be willing to meet with our investment group?”“Could we have your contact details?”“Are you planning to increase your position in the company?”“Would Nova Global consider acquiring any other shares?”Elena listened to one question after another, answering only when necessary.She had expected attention.She had not expected this much of it.Only an hour ago, she had walked into the ballroom as Vittoria Moretti, a mysterious investor most people knew only by reputation.Now everyone knew she was Elena Laurent.The unwanted daughter.The woman who had returned with thirty-one point two percent of the company her family once believed she was not important enough to inherit.She was about to answer another shareholder when she heard a familiar voice behind the crowd.“Mom!”Elena froze.The noise around her seemed to fade for a moment.She turned.Leo was standing several feet away.He had probably been waiting with one of the

The ballroom gradually settled as the host stepped onto the small stage at the front.The music faded.Conversations quieted as the shareholders turned their attention toward the podium. The large screen behind the stage displayed the Laurent Corporation logo, followed by a list of the company's major shareholders.Elena stood among the guests with a glass of champagne in her hand.She had expected the meeting to be formal.She had not expected the room to feel quite this tense.The host adjusted the microphone.“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us tonight. The Laurent Corporation has gone through a difficult period, but recent changes in our shareholder structure have brought new opportunities for the company.”Several shareholders exchanged looks.Everyone knew what those changes meant.The host continued.“We will now officially recognize the company's major shareholders and their current holdings.”The first names appeared on the screen.“Mr. Jonathan Reed, six point eight

The ballroom remained filled with quiet conversations, but Elena barely heard any of them.Adrian Blackwood was standing in front of her.The same man whose deep voice had pulled a memory from seven years ago.The same man whose eyes had watched her from across the room with an unfamiliar sense of recognition.And now she finally knew his name.Adrian.Elena kept her face calm as their hands separated after the brief handshake. She had spent seven years learning how to hide what she felt. She had learned that showing people where they had hurt her only gave them another way to control her.She would not make that mistake tonight.Adrian was still looking at her.There was something about his expression that unsettled her. He seemed to be trying to understand why she felt familiar, just as she was trying to understand how the stranger from that night could possibly be standing in front of her now.Neither of them spoke.Then Isabella approached.“Elena.”Elena turned toward her sister.I

The Laurent Corporation had never faced a crisis this serious.For months, the company had struggled with declining profits, failed investments, and mounting debts. Several major partners had withdrawn their support, while the company's falling shares had left shareholders questioning whether Richard Laurent could still lead the corporation.Richard had spent weeks trying to keep the company from collapsing, but every solution seemed to create another problem.Then, without warning, a mysterious foreign investor had stepped in.The investor had purchased the largest individual shareholding in Laurent Corporation and injected enough capital to settle the company's most urgent debts. The intervention had prevented an immediate collapse and given the corporation a chance to recover.Nobody knew the investor's true identity.All they knew was that the person was connected to Nova Global, the multibillion-dollar technology empire that had rapidly become one of the most powerful investment
The Billionaire's Elusive Wife Chapter 4 — The Woman Behind the Name
Seven years had passed since Elena Laurent walked away from the family that had never truly wanted her.Seven years since her father had looked her in the eyes and told her she was no longer his daughter.Seven years since she had stood outside the Laurent mansion in the rain, one hand resting over the child growing inside her, and promised herself that she would never again beg anyone to choose her.The years that followed had not been easy, but they had changed her.After leaving the Laurent mansion, Elena had lived in a small temporary apartment while preparing for the birth of her son. She had no family to depend on and no husband she could find, but she refused to allow those circumstances to determine the kind of life her child would have.She worked.She studied.She learned everything she could about investments and technology while raising her son alone.The first investment she made had been small, but Elena had always possessed an instinct for recognizing opportunities.
