Chapter58
Zachary sat down across from her and handed her a tablet.
What showed on the tablet was Balamora’s latest financial news.
The title stood out as:
“The Goldstein Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Timothy might lose control?”
The news gave detailed coverage of the Goldstein Group’s recent troubles.
Ever since that ridiculous wedding fiasco, the Goldstein family’s reputation was ruined and their stock price plummeted.
Plus, Timothy was always stuck in the pain of losing his wife and didn’t care about running the company.
And that newly married Mrs. Goldstein, Cecilia, was just a useless troublemaker who only knew how to waste money.
With troubles both inside and out, the Goldstein Group’s cash flow had serious problems.
Several important projects stalled, and partners pulled out one after another.
The bank was also pushing me to pay back the loan.
If the funding problem couldn’t be solved in the short term, the Goldstein Group was likely to face bankruptcy liquidation.
And Timothy, as the heir to the Goldstein Group, would also

completely lose everything.
Gabrielle looked at the news and felt a bit complicated.
The Goldstein family ended up like this, you could say it was their own fault.
Timothy’s betrayal, Emmitt and Jazlene’s indifference and scheming.
Cecilia’s stupidity and greed.
Every factor sped up the Goldstein family’s decline.
But when she saw that Timothy might lose everything, she didn’t really feel much pleasure in her heart.
More like a sigh of things have changed, people are gone.
After all, that was the person she had loved for twenty years.
That man who used to be full of spirit and was seen by her as a god.
But now it ended up like this.
“This wasn’t the most important part.”
Zachary’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
He swiped the tablet, and another message popped up on the screen.
It was an internal message sent by Zachary’s subordinate.
“the Meyers family seemed to be planning to buy out the Goldstein Group.”
Gabrielle’s pupils suddenly shrank, “the Meyers family?”
“Yeah.” Zachary looked a bit serious.

“And the one who led this acquisition was Cristofer.”
Gabrielle’s heart sank instantly.
Cristofer was going to acquire the Goldstein Group, and there was no way this was just a business move.
He must have had another reason.
Combined with Zachary’s previous guess.
Cristofer wanted to use her as a bargaining chip to fight for the Meyers family inheritance.
And the Goldstein Group was an important part of her past identity.
Timothy was her ex–fiance.
Did Cristofer buy the Goldstein Group because he wanted to control everything related to her past?
Was it even to try to force her to show up?
Or, threatened her with Timothy?
Countless thoughts flashed through Gabrielle’s mind, making her feel a chill.
Cristofer’s move was way too sneaky and vicious.
“What did he want to do?” Gabrielle’s voice sounded a bit tense.
“I guess he wanted to kill two birds with one stone.”
Zachary’s eyes were sharp.
“First, by taking over the Goldstein Group, he could boost his own business strength and increase his say in the Meyers family.”

“Second, and most importantly, he wanted to control you indirectly by controlling the Goldstein Group and Timothy.”
“Even, he might have used Timothy’s decadence and obsession with you to set you up and lure you back to Balamora.”
Zachary’s analysis matched Gabrielle’s ideas.
Cristofer’s move hit her right in the weak spot.
Although she didn’t love Timothy anymore, all she had left was disappointment and disgust.
But after all, she had a twenty–year bond with the Goldstein family.
Timothy ended up like this, and it was also closely related to her.
If Cristofer really used Timothy against her…
Could she just totally ignore it?
Gabrielle’s mind was a mess.
She hated Timothy’s betrayal, hated the Goldstein family’s coldness.
But she couldn’t just stand by and watch the Goldstein family get taken over by Cristofer..
Watching Timothy get used as a pawn by Cristofer.
That wasn’t just about the Goldstein family, it was also about her past dignity.
It was about whether she could completely break free from the “Gabrielle” identity.
“Zachary, we couldn’t let Cristofer get away with it!”

Gabrielle looked up, her eyes firm.
“the Goldstein Group can’t fall into Cristofer’s hands!”
Zachary saw the determination in her eyes and wasn’t surprised at all.
His woman had been through so much betrayal and hurt, she was no longer a hothouse flower.
She had her own pride, her own bottom line.
Cristofer provoked her this way, and what he touched was exactly her reverse scale.
“Okay, how did you want to do it?”
Zachary’s voice was steady, with complete support.
Gabrielle paused to think for a moment, and her eyes got sharp.
