After Dirvorce I become a SheEO Chapter 584
Chapter 584 Always for Her
Jefferson changed the subject, taking strides until he stood before Lincoln. “There may be clues in the burnt down
library.”
The moment those words fell, Lincoln turned and was about to leave. To him, not even a second could be wasted.
“Wait!” Jefferson stopped Lincoln.
Lincoln halted his steps. “Father, is there anything else?” “Is your mind filled with Zayla’s troubles now? Clarence is
dead, but the Powell family is far from wiped out!”
Clarence must have had a backup plan. His adopted son is no easy opponent.”
“Joe just sent word. He interrogated them all night. Everyone else spilled a little, but the Powells only talked in
circles, spouting nonsense!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“We can’t dissolve the immense influence of the Powell family and penetrate their ranks just by killing Clarence!”
Jefferson hit the nail on the head with every word. To completely uproot the Powell family, Clarence’s death was
only the beginning!
Lincoln furrowed his brows slightly. “Dissolving the Powell family, that’s your responsibility.”
So, you’re saying you won’t handle it? You originally said you wanted to take down the Powell family. Was it for
Brevan or for Zayla?”
Without hesitation, Lincoln answered, “Her.” “Lincoln! Are you trying to infuriate me?”
“I agreed to help you take down the Powell family, I plotted with you, I collaborated with your moves. Why did I do
this?”
“To pave the way for you, to ensure you smoothly take this position!”
“But now you’re telling me, it’s for a woman? Have you set your heart on choosing the beauty over the throne?”
Yes.” Lincoln answered resolutely without a hint of hesitation.
“You! Say it again!”
Jefferson gave him a chance. This was his most cherished son, the successor he handpicked! And didn’t Lincoln
know it? His countenance was as icy as before, and his deep voice was as firm as before.
“I’ve always been for her, and only her.
That’s never changed.” Jefferson immediately knocked over the items on the coffee table, clutching his chest and
gasping for breath! “Good! Very good! You’ve done very well!” Upon seeing this, Miriam rushed over without
hesitation.
She quickly pulled the medicine he carried from his inner pocket, then poured a cup of warm water, urging
Jefferson to swallow the pills. This reflexive action had long become a habit. After Jefferson felt a bit more at ease,
he noticed Miriam standing in front of him.
Only then did he realize, he hadn’t even tried to hide his words from her. Perhaps this was a trust ingrained deep in
his bones.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven though she had betrayed him, he still subconsciously chose to trust her. Miriam knew she heard things she
shouldn’t have. She turned to leave.
Given her current status, she obviously needed to avoid any suspicion. “Don’t leave, just stay there.” Somehow, just
having her by his side made him feel much more at ease.
A tremor ran through Miriam’s heart, her fingers clenching tightly. Without a word, she returned to her previous
position. Once he saw that Jefferson was okay, Lincoln prepared to leave. But once again, Jefferson stopped Lincoln!
“Lincoln! Listen to me!” “This is the responsibility you were born to bear! You want to shirk it now? I’m telling you,
forget it!”
“You have to take this position, whether you like it or not!” It was a clear threat, a threat made without any attempt
to conceal it. Lincoln laughed, not at all intimidated.
“No one can force me to do something I don’t want to do.” Jefferson was fuming. “For Zayla, you’re really ready to
give up everything!”
“All I want is to save her.”
“What if you can’t?”
