Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 103

Zayden realized, she really didn’t want me to stay and keep her

company

Instead of letting her feel stressed and uneasy, it’s better for him to leave for a while first

“Sure,” he nodded, “The Powell Group’s flagship company, Powell Pharmaceuticals, was looking for investors, so I went to check it out.”

Iris heard this, paused while eating ravioli, and asked, “Are you talking about Beachbourne’s the Powell Group?”

“Yeah!”

Zayden nodded. “According to my dad, you’re a doctor, well–versed in all kinds of pharmacology. Skincare and makeup are a piece of cake for you. The pharmaceutical industry is where your true interest lies. So when he heard that Powell Pharmaceuticals was seeking investment, he immediately became interested.”

Over the years, the Powell Group may have looked good on the surface, but in reality, the Powell Group has been struggling to make ends meet.

This time, the flagship industry under the Powell Group, Powell Pharmaceuticals, sought investment for equity, which is the best proof

However, this news is not public. Only top investors in the business world like Merlin and Zayden have the inside scoop.

Of course, Iris is the boss behind the boss.

Investing is no big deal for her. Merlin and Zayden always do all the research and due diligence before reporting to her, and then she makes the final decision

Iris laughed. “Merlin still knows me best.”

She thought for a moment, then said, “But if we’re going to invest, we need to get absolute controlling stake in Powell Pharmaceuticals.”

She sounded determined, with a strong sense of determination.

“This…” Zayden furrowed his brow, hesitating.

But after hesitating for a moment, he smiled again, nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll try.”

He knew for sure that money wasn’t the issue, the key was whether the Powell family was willing to give up control of their family’s main

business.

Iris smiled, then lowered her head to finish the last two ravioli in her

bowl.

She didn’t need any more formalities with Merlin and Zayden.

“Ira, have you heard about the marriage between the Powell family and the Hale family?” Zayden asked after a moment of silence from her.

Iris didn’t answer his question right away, instead she slowly ate the last two ravioli and let out a satisfied sigh.

Zayden handed her another tissue.

She took it, wiped her mouth, and then smiled as she replied, “The Powell family and the Hale family have been planning to intermarry for a long time. If it weren’t for me meddling, Katrina would have been Mrs. Hale by now.”

Looking at her relaxed expression, Zayden smiled, paused, and then said, “But Heriberto made it clear in a live TV interview, he won’t marry Katrina, and he also said…”

“Am I the only one who said ‘I love you“?” Iris laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in the corner of her mouth.

Zayden nodded, all eyes fixed on her, “That’s what he said.”

Iris raised her eyebrows, looking indifferent, “Let him love however he wants, it’s none of my business.”

Zayden finally relaxed and said with a smile, “He was still arranging for people to look for you everywhere.‘

“Let him find it, if he can, that’s his ability.” Iris said casually.

Zayden completely relaxed, looked down and smiled, “Don’t worry, he won’t find you in a year or so.”

Ardiham.

When Katrina saw Heriberto’s TV interview, she was on her way to the Hale’s mansion.

Although we hadn’t asked Heriberto’s opinion yet, but in Megan’s mind or her own thoughts, she was already half of the Hale family.

Megan saw her as a daughter–in–law.

She treated Megan like a mother–in–law, showing filial piety and

respect.

Watching the live stream, Heriberto defined his relationship with her as just partners, not even friends. He even said they wouldn’t have any

further relationship in the future. Her face turned cold instantly.

It was white and cold, like it had been covered in a layer of frost.

She didn’t want to marry Heriberto on a whim.

Of course, it’s not like she really liked Heriberto that much.

She wanted to marry Heriberto, first because he was indeed the most suitable candidate for her, secondly, of course, the Powell family was already in financial crisis, and they hoped that by marrying into the Hale family, the Hales could help them out.

But now Heriberto is on live TV, saying–such harsh words in front of so many viewers. If she were to approach Heriberto again, whether intentionally or unintentionally, wouldn’t that be very embarrassing?

Even though the Powell Group is facing a financial crisis now, she is still the princess held in the palm of the Powell family.

High and mighty, no one can disrespect.

Heriberto was the same.
