Chapter 298 Meeting Alone

Chapter 300 The Spencer Corporation Changes

Asher switched sides.

The moment he learned Azalea was still alive, Asher had no reason to stand with Lachlan anymore.

Because Asher looked a lot like Lachlan, he had always served as Lachlan's double, doing dangerous things for him.

All because Azalea had been told she had a terminal illness, and if she couldn't get treatment at Lachlan's hospital, Asher's only daughter, Azalea, would die.

But Diana told Asher that Azalea wasn't sick at all. Not only that, her symptoms were caused by a specific slow-acting poison she'd been given since childhood.

And the only person who could continuously give Azalea the drug was Lachlan.

After figuring everything out, Asher told them everything.

"Lachlan has been using radioactive materials to affect Nicholas's health all these years, trying to make Nicholas die. Later, when Brice joined the company, Lachlan found out that Ms. Windsor's grandmother was from the York Family and might be able to treat Mr. Spencer. That's when Lachlan went after the Windsor Family."

Listening to Asher's account, Diana's heart grew heavier and heavier. It turned out that years ago, Lachlan had already started targeting the Windsor Family.

From small business traps to big schemes—manipulating Derek and Mandy to deceive Diana, and finally causing the deaths of Diana's parents, Ollie and Rowan.

Every single incident was designed to let Lachlan take over the Spencer family fortune all by himself.

Diana clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She thought that after being reborn, she had already avenged Ollie and Rowan. But she never imagined that all along, she didn't know who really killed Ollie and Rowan.

Nicholas pulled Diana into his arms, gently patting her back, trying to calm her down.

Diana took a deep breath before asking in a hoarse voice, "Did he poison Mr. Sawyer Spencer? Where is Mr. Sawyer Spencer now?"

"How did you know?" Asher looked at Diana in disbelief, then nodded as if deflated. "Yes, Lachlan originally wanted to take the York Family's important books and bring away the York Family's key figures, but he never expected that you would be the one with the strongest acupuncture skills in the York Family."

Asher started coughing violently, as if he could no longer control it.

After a while, Asher continued, "I know Mr. Nicholas Spencer won't let me go. I only ask that you spare my daughter and let her live well."

Asher looked at Diana sadly. "Ms. Windsor, as long as you agree, Mr. Nicholas Spencer won't refuse. Please."

"After poisoning Mr. Sawyer Spencer, what's Lachlan's next move?" Diana asked coldly.

"Take over all of the Spencer Corporation's overseas assets, and use a fake will to force Mr. Nicholas Spencer to give up control of the Spencer Corporation."

As soon as Asher finished speaking, Bruce hurried over to Nicholas and whispered a few words in his ear.

Nicholas immediately stood up. "Diana, we're going back."

Diana glanced at Asher one last time, thought for a moment, then said, "Luke, keep Asher for now."

Since Lachlan could find a double, couldn't the double also become Lachlan?

Once in the car, Diana asked, "Bruce, what happened?"

"Something happened with the overseas company. The chairman publicly announced his relationship with Lachlan." Bruce's voice paused, then he handed Diana the tablet directly.

Looking at the content on the tablet, Diana grew more and more confused. "This isn't an AI video? Why would your grandfather say this? Nicholas, can't your people reach your grandfather either?"

In the video, although Sawyer spoke somewhat slowly, he clearly confirmed Lachlan's identity, including his plan to hand over all the overseas companies to Lachlan.

Once all the overseas companies changed hands, Lachlan's next step would definitely be to fight for Nicholas's power domestically.

"Contact over there has been cut off." Nicholas's voice was especially cold. "I've already sent Eric ahead. Half of the Spencer family's overseas forces are in his hands, so maybe there's still a chance."

Diana looked at Nicholas with some surprise. In all the time they'd known each other, this was the first time she'd heard Nicholas say "maybe there's still a chance."

She reached out and gripped Nicholas's large hand tightly. "Nicholas, we will definitely rescue your grandfather. We can do this."

Not only that, she would also drag out that scumbag Lachlan and make sure he never had a good day for the rest of his life!

She had finally found her enemy from both lives—how could she possibly let him go?

For several days in a row, Nicholas was busy at the company.

He worried that Diana was using too much of her witch powers, so except for letting her visit Thalia at the hospital, he wouldn't allow Diana to do anything else.

Every time Diana went out, more than a dozen bodyguards followed her, terrified that something might happen to her.

Even Gemma stayed by Diana's side for full protection, and all Windsor Corporation work became remote work.

But the storm at the Spencer Corporation never died down. All the media were investigating Lachlan's background, and when everyone learned he was Sawyer's illegitimate son who had been valued by Sawyer all these years, public opinion shifted again.

[When there's a son, the son should be the first heir, right?]

[Mr. Spencer has been quietly supporting his younger son all these years, so he must be grooming him as the family heir.]

[Nicholas is a grandson after all, still a bit removed.]

[Now that Lachlan is taking over the overseas companies, is he coming back home soon?]

Everyone's criticism was aimed at Nicholas, and even within the company, some forces were starting to stir.

In just a few days, Nicholas had visibly lost weight.

This day, Diana brought lunch to the company, wanting to make sure Nicholas ate properly.

But as soon as she arrived in the lobby, she saw a group of foreigners entering the company.

The man in the lead ignored the security guards' attempts to stop him and tried to force his way in. "We are Mr. Lachlan Spencer's private advisors. He is now the chairman of the Spencer Corporation and has the right to take back all of Mr. Nicholas Spencer's authority and remove Mr. Nicholas Spencer from his position as CEO."

"This is my business card. I'm Ronin Sterling, and I will also become a senior executive at the Spencer Corporation's Seraphim headquarters." Ronin looked around, his gaze finally landing on Diana. "Starting today..."

"Grab him," Diana said coldly.

Before Ronin and his people could react, Gemma had already moved with her team.

"Bastard! This is illegal! Ms. Windsor, who do you think you are?" Ronin was pressed down by Gemma, bent over, but still shouting.

Diana walked up to Ronin and raised her eyebrows dismissively. "We haven't received any resignation documents from Chairman Spencer. If I remember correctly, the appointment and removal of the overseas company's chairman also requires a board resolution."

"You don't happen to know that the Spencer Corporation's overseas and domestic companies don't belong to the same company, do you? You brought people to impersonate senior leadership and take over the company. I think you should give the police an explanation."

"Take them down. Confiscate all their phones. Don't let them contact anyone outside until the police arrive."

Diana looked around again, her gaze falling on each employee. "If you don't want to lose your jobs, keep your mouths shut, understand?"
