My Ex-Husband Begged Me to Take Him Back - Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Mr.

Blair, Lydia€™s back-up Chapter 324: Mr.

Blair, Lydia€™s back-up At the head office of Ace Group€¦ Dylan showed Justin the photograph of Lydia with Mr.

Blair.

“I’m certain he is the one backing them.” He tapped the image for emphasis.

“Blair was the one who pulled Erica out of Baker’s nightclub that night.

I need every single detail about him-who he meets, where he goes, and what he is planning.” “Understood, sir,” Justin affirmed.

“I’ll get back to you as soon as I dig something up.” He hesitated for a moment, then added, “By the way, there is more.

The Baker Group is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Word on the street is that the founder of S & Co.

is moving in to take over.” “S & Co.?” Dylan furrowed his eyebrows.

That was the same company partnering with Ace Group on the port project.

His instincts flared.

“Who is the founder?” he asked, curiosity piquing his mind.

“The owner keeps a low profile.

Rumor has it he owns multiple small and mid-sized businesses and invests across different sectors.

This takeover will be his first major move into a corporate giant.” Dylan’s frown deepened.

The description sounded far too familiar.

One name crossed his mind €“ Nicholas.

The pattern fit perfectly.

Nicholas was notorious for investing from the shadows, never revealing which companies he controlled.

And now, with Baker Group collapsing, the timing was too precise to be a coincidence.

Dylan was sure the mysterious person was none other than Nicholas.

After all, he had been planning to get back to the Bakers.

Finally, he was going to acquire Baker’s fortune.

Dylan’s lips curled into a sly smile, satisfaction gleaming in his sharp gaze.

“It’s him.

Nicholas.

He has been planning this all along, and now he is finally making his move.” He tossed the phone onto the desk, crossing his arms as he leaned back in his wheelchair.

“Well, that’s great.

I can’t wait to watch Elijah’s downfall.

Once the acquisition is finalized, schedule a meeting with the mysterious founder of S & Co.

I’d like to meet the man.” Justin shifted on his feet, clearing his throat awkwardly.

“Sir, I don’t think he’ll agree to meet.

He operates from the shadows, never showing up in public.

Even his board members haven’t seen him directly.” Dylan’s confidence was unshaken.

“Don’t worry.

He’ll give me an appointment.” ~~~~~~~~ Ava sat at the desk in the study, focusing on scanning the report.

Her phone buzzed, pulling her from her focused state.

As she took a glance at her phone, she saw her father’s number.

A wide smile bloomed across her lips as she answered the call.

“Papa?” “I’m back,” Thomas’s cheerful voice filled her ear.

“Can you come down here?

Bring Dylan as well.

We’ll have dinner together.” Ava’s heart fluttered with joy.

“That’s great!

I’ll be right there.” “Okay.

I can’t wait to see you.” The call ended, but her smile lingered.

She had missed her father deeply, and now that he was back, the thought of waiting until evening for Dylan to return was unbearable.

She quickly typed a message: ‘Papa is back, and I’m going to see him.

Don’t worry.

I’ll be safe there.

And please go there for dinner.’ As soon as she sent the message, she closed the file and hurried out of the study.

At Dylan’s office€¦ “About Mr.

Blair,” Justin began, “his information is well-hidden.

He is currently out of town-he left the country a few months ago and hasn’t returned.

But I managed to dig up some details.” He slid a folder across the table.

“He was spotted with Lydia quite a few times.” Dylan wasted no time in flipping it open.

His eyes scanned the documents inside, but it was the photographs that caught his attention.

There were Lydia and Mr.

Blair together at the restaurant, where Ava had noticed them.

“He also visited Lydia in jail,” Justin continued, nodding toward the next page.

“I got access to the list of visitors.” Dylan flipped the page and saw the list.

His grip tightened at the edge of the folder.

“So, it’s him.” It was now confirmed that Mr.

Blair had been helping Lydia and Erica all the time.

“Why?” Dylan ground out with fury.

“He used to be my father’s friend.

Why help his murderer?” Justin hesitated before offering a grim theory.

“He might have been with her for a long time.

Maybe they planned the accident together.” Dylan’s stomach clenched.

The information settled like ice in his veins.

Justin took a deep breath and added, “Mr.

Blair never married.

It’s possible that he has feelings for Lydia.” Dylan snapped his head up and met his gaze, his words striking a nerve.

Of course.

Mr.

Blair’s generosity toward Lydia wasn’t just kindness-it was fueled by long-standing affection.

“There is more,” Justin spoke again.

“Mr.

Blair recently purchased the vast wetland during an auction.

The area is slated to be developed into a model city.

A few months ago, he was seen there with Lydia.” Dylan closed the file with a thud, a dangerous light glinting in his eyes.

He knew about that land deal, but he hadn’t shown interest in it.

“I’ve heard environmentalists are protesting the project,” he remarked.

Justin nodded.

“Yes, but it won’t last.

It’s a government-backed initiative.

The authorities will shut down the protests soon enough.” Dylan’s lips curled into a sly smirk.

“What if the protest intensifies?” Justin blinked, momentarily taken aback.

He studied Dylan’s expression as he tried to read his mind.

He couldn’t understand what Dylan was thinking, but he was sure his boss had some plan.

“What do you want to do?” “We’ll make sure the protesters don’t quiet down.

If that land turns into a battlefield, Blair’s investment will turn into dust.

Let’s see how generous he feels when his empire starts crumbling.” The soft chime of his phone interrupted the conversation.

His gaze flicked to the screen, and the tension in his features melted into a smile.

It was a message from Ava.

He unlocked the screen and checked the message.  ‘Papa is back, and I’m going to see him.

Don’t worry.

I’ll be safe there.

And please go there for dinner.’ He quickly typed the response €“ ‘Okay, I’ll be there in the evening.

Stay safe.’ He set the phone aside and refocused on Justin, his expression hardening once more.

“Inform Nicholas about this situation.

I recall he was interested in that land deal but pulled out at the last moment.

He must have known something we didn’t.” Dylan’s eyes glinted with cold calculation.

“Let him handle it.

If he needs support, make sure he gets it-no delays, no excuses.

We’ll use every angle to crush Blair’s hold.”
