Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 975
Competing against the Garrison clan? What chance do we really have of winning if we do such a thing?
Zoey’s first instinct was to give up.
After all, what were the chances of her actually succeeding? Especially if they already had it out for her.
Iris’ secretary walked into the office at that moment to deliver a message.
The woman turned pale upon hearing Zoey’s words. She then informed, “Pinnacle Group’s person-in-charge will be here this afternoon. I’m guessing they are here to talk about the project. You should attend that meeting.”
“Okay.”
Zoey took a few deep breaths.
So what if Tyrone owns the company? So what if the Garrison clan is ridiculously powerful? I’m the one who got the project first. I will not let Pinnacle Group take it away from me!
Levi examined Zoey closely during lunch and commented, “What’s wrong? You look troubled.”
“It’s nothing. I’m just dealing with some issues from work.”
She never told him about the issue with Pinnacle Group.
She worried that unnecessary mayhem would ensue if he knew about Tyrone’s advances.
It’s probably a better idea to keep quiet. After all, there is no way a puny enterprise like ours can deal with a corporate giant like that.
That afternoon, a number of luxurious, black cars drove up.
The people from Pinnacle Group had arrived.
Zoey personally welcomed them.
The ones in charge were a woman and two men. Their assistants were following close behind, and all of them were obviously out for blood.
“Zoey Lopez? So it really is you!” said the woman before she chuckled aloud.
“And you are…”
The woman had on a pair of sunglasses, so Zoey could not recognize her.
The latter trembled, and her eyes shone with surprise when the woman took her sunglasses off. She then mumbled, “I-it’s you!”
“You remember me? Aw, I thought you’d forgotten all about me,” replied the woman as a stunning grin appeared on her face.
“Y-you’re the person-in-charge of Pinnacle Group?”
“Thanks to you. I’ve been well after you guys chased me out of North Hampton, and I am now the vice president of Pinnacle Group!” The woman smiled.
That woman was Lyndsay Granger, Zoey’s ex-BFF and senior.
She was the one who brought Zoey into the field and was, in a way, the one who taught Zoey most of what she knew.
Lyndsay had cared for her in every way.
However, she later discovered that it was all a lie.
Lyndsay had only been nice to her to get close to Levi.
At the time, the man had already founded Levi Group, and his career was taking off at an incredible speed.
Lyndsay’s greed slowly showed itself soon after.
She continuously hurt Zoey from behind the scenes and created a number of illusions to make Levi misunderstand Zoey.
Lyndsay’s worst scheme in her quest to separate the couple was having her men drag Zoey into a hotel, where they almost raped her.
When Levi learned about all that, he chased Lyndsay out of North Hampton.
Hence, the two women were now enemies.
That made Lyndsay an eyesore for Zoey.
The latter scoffed and said, “Then I guess there is no need to enter the building. Our company does not welcome vile b*tches.”
“What is that supposed to mean, Zoey Lopez? I am Pinnacle Group’s representative. How dare you turn Pinnacle Group away!” growled Lyndsay.
In the end, Zoey had no choice but to lead all of them into the building.
Once they got inside the meeting room, Zoey immediately said, “Let’s get to the point, shall we? I’m busy.”
Lyndsay grinned and replied, “We’re here about the project. We heard your company has already accepted it.”
“That’s right. The project has already been taken. You guys have no shot at obtaining it anymore. You can’t exactly steal it now, can you?” Zoey stated firmly.
Lyndsay smiled. “We’re actually here to steal that project.”
The woman then stood and looked her up and down before adding, “Zoey, I’m sure you’ve learned all about what Pinnacle Group is capable of. I am here on behalf of the company and am commanding you to give it up. Hand the project over to us!”
