If Nevaeh's true, vicious nature were fully exposed to the public, her career would be over in a heartbeat.
Aria, who was much more timid than Summer, jumped up in a panic when the violence started. She quickly grabbed her friend's arm. "Summer, calm down! If word of this gets out, people will twist the narrative to make you look bad."
Nevaeh's dirty tricks were legendary in the industry. Aria had suffered her fair share of bullying from her on the way up, but she didn't want Summer risking her hard-earned career over a moment of blind anger.
While the women were arguing, the reception room doors swung open.
Everyone expected Donovan Yarrow to walk in, as he was the one who had scheduled the contract signing today. Instead, flanked by a massive entourage of executives, an unfamiliar woman entered the room. She was in her early forties, slightly plump, with a very ordinary face.
Nevaeh instantly recognized the man trailing closely behind her: Aiden, Donovan's chief assistant.
"Assistant Aiden, where is Mr. Yarrow?" Nevaeh asked quickly.
Aiden swept his gaze over the women in the room. "Allow me to introduce you all. Starting today, all business operations at Apex Group will be fully managed by Mrs. Yarrow."
The middle-aged woman was Donovan's long-suffering wife.
Apex Group had originally been founded by both Donovan and his wife. Like millions of other families, once they had children, they fell into traditional roles—he ran the empire, she managed the home. The once-formidable businesswoman stepped back to raise their family.
In the early years, Donovan kept up appearances. Whenever he cheated, he would buy her expensive jewelry to smooth things over. But as Apex Group ballooned into a corporate giant, he stopped pretending, treating his dowdy housewife with total disdain. Had he not suffered this recent crisis, it was only a matter of time before he divorced her and threw her to the curb.
