Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1282

By rights, if they were to change leadership, they'd have to follow a process.

At least, they should introduce the new president. Yet the new president was directly appointed without any of the proper procedures. No one had even bothered to take the shares from Drake.

It was all so strange.

Marion believed the Lowe Group had hidden assets and those behind the scenes held the largest share of hidden interests. To Debra, many things still didn't add up.

As the head of the Lowe Group for years, Drake should have known about this.

Drake spoke blandly, "When I was adopted by the Lowe family, I was busy cramming financial knowledge. I'm not like Marion. He's a rich boy from the slums, just there for the experience. I don't know these things. So, I had to work harder than others. In the beginning, there wasn't just me as the heir. I was just transferred from overseas to make up the numbers. The Bernard family wanted to get involved with the Lowe family, so they sent some people over. Marion, Robert, and me. Robert didn't want to go, so he dropped out. I didn't want to go either. Shawn was dying, and I had a chance of becoming the Bernard family heir. Staying would be a better option than fighting for survival in a place like Orkgate."

"Was he killed by that person you saw?" Debra asked again.

"Maybe," Drake replied. "The old man died of a heart attack. Back then, all I cared about was my new role. I didn't bother investigating. After I took over the Lowe Group, I found that Orkgate was a dirty place. To survive, I had to be dirtier and more ruthless than everyone else. Otherwise, a newcomer like me would have ended up being chewed up."

Drake looked at Debra and asked, "Ever heard of animal instinct? Honestly, I've suspected that someone is pushing things behind the scenes. But my gut told me not to investigate. Sometimes, it's better to pretend to be blind than risk your life."
