The Ex-Wife You Tossed, Now a Billionaire’s Queen Chapter 50. A New Beginning at Beacon Tower
Sebastian looked at Evelyn with steady confidence.“This project is backed by a government subsidy. Since Callahan’s company created a scandal, the government has every right to take the project back. If they had to restart the entire process, it would take forever. So relax, don’t rush it.”Evelyn still looked uncertain. “But can I really handle this on my own? What if the new company isn’t trustworthy?”Sebastian’s smile stayed calm. “That’s not your problem. What matters now is that you build your own team. Can you do that?”In that moment, a surge of confidence rose inside her. “No problem,” she answered firmly.Night fell. The Callahan building still glowed bright against the dark sky.On the top floor, a thick folder slammed against the conference table, its contents scattering across the polished wood. Lucas Callahan stood with a thunderous face, fists clenched.“Not one of you can come up with a solution? What the hell is the point of keeping you here?”One of the managers f

In front of everyone, Chloe’s face went pale after flushing red just moments before.“Who said I was leaving? I just wanted to grab something,” she stammered.Evelyn quickly cut in, her voice calm. “Your assistant can grab it for you, Mrs. Hartman. You should sit down. Let’s watch the live broadcast together.”She turned to the reporters. “Please, everyone, take your seats.”The journalists reluctantly returned to their spots. Sebastian stepped forward and sat in the front row, directly facing Evelyn on stage. His expression stayed cold and unreadable, but somehow his presence steadied her.From where she stood, Evelyn met his gaze. He always seemed distant and aloof, yet here he was, showing up in the exact moment she felt most alone. Her chest tightened, her nose stung as if she were holding back tears.The broadcast continued. Enix Media, the most trusted news outlet in Boston, was known for running only thoroughly investigated stories, no bias, just objectivity and truth. In jour

Lucas swept the room with an icy gaze before finally speaking.“This meeting is over. Later this afternoon, the Callahan Group will hold a press conference to apologize to the public for the damage this incident has caused. And as of now, Evelyn Sinclair, you’re officially removed from your position as project lead.”With that, he cast one last glance at Evelyn and walked out. The meeting ended halfway through, leaving everyone stunned.Director Yale stood and said simply, “For now, let’s adjourn.”One colleague hurried over to Evelyn, confusion on his face.“Why didn’t you try to explain yourself to Mr. Callahan?”Evelyn let out a sharp breath, trying to hold back the anger rising inside her.“Explain what? Do you really think he’d listen to me? He’s probably thrilled to find a mistake he can pin on me, gives him the perfect excuse to strip me of my role. Besides, that’s exactly what the company wants.”“Why would you say that?”Her fists clenched so tightly her knuckles turned wh

For the first time in a long while, Evelyn felt the warmth of someone’s care. It was strange, almost foreign, but oddly comforting.That afternoon, at the Reed family estate, Camilla arrived carrying a few boxes of Mrs. Reed’s favorite pastries. The old woman greeted her with a kind smile.“Camilla, you should stay for dinner. You came all this way just to bring me these treats. I have to thank you somehow,” she said warmly.“Thank you, Grandma. But I still have some errands to run this evening,” Camilla replied politely.“What could be more important than dinner here? I’ll tell Sebastian to come home so we can all eat together,” the old woman pressed.Camilla lowered her gaze, looking uneasy. “Grandma, Sebastian’s about to get married. I think it’s better if I don’t come by too often. It just feels more appropriate that way.”At those words, the smile slowly faded from Mrs. Reed’s face. A tense line formed on her brow.“Don’t bring that up again,” she said curtly.Camilla stood and s

Chloe stood with her arms folded across her chest, her voice brimming with confidence.“Sebastian Reed himself gave me the authority. Sure, he appointed you, Evelyn Sinclair, as the project lead. But he never said other members couldn’t be involved. I’m just trying to help.”“Help? That’s what you call help?” Evelyn shot a glance at the old house behind her. The place was a wreck—its door covered in graffiti, the frame sagging like it could collapse at any moment.Chloe lifted her chin with a mocking edge.“Evelyn, are you living in some fantasy world? We already paid that old woman, but she refuses to leave. She clearly wants more money. This is the only way. Otherwise, the project will be delayed. Are you ready to take the blame for that?”“Knock it down,” Chloe ordered the two men standing behind her.“I’d like to see who dares,” Evelyn shot back, her voice cutting through the air.“Come on, Evelyn, don’t be so dramatic. I’m the one playing the villain here, and you’re still not sa

What was Evelyn really thinking?At that moment, Sebastian was already on his way back to the family estate. The butler had just called, saying his grandmother wasn’t feeling well and had asked him to come home immediately.If it hadn’t been for her health, Sebastian might never have returned to this country to take over Reed Group after his father’s sudden death in an accident.“Welcome home, sir,” the butler greeted him as soon as he stepped inside.“How’s Grandma? Why didn’t anyone take her straight to the hospital?” Sebastian asked, his tone sharp with worry.The butler hesitated. “Madam Reed said it wasn’t serious, so she didn’t think it was necessary.”“I’ll call Silas.”Sebastian had barely pulled out his phone when a middle-aged woman appeared from the small sitting room where his grandmother usually rested. Victoria Hayes—his stepmother.“There’s no need to call the doctor, Sebastian. Your grandmother asked for you. She wants to see you now,” she said smoothly.His brow furro
