Chapter 839:
“The Lambert Group is struggling,” Ellis said, his voice deadpan. “It's only thanks to the money | make at your
company that they're able to pay their staff.”
Freya gave him a flat look. “You're making that up.”
“It's true.”
“Keep going.”
“You don’t believe me?” Ellis kept a straight face.
“I haven't researched the Lambert Group thoroughly, but I've heard it's one of the easiest jobs in the entire
industry for employees,” Freya said slowly. “If the company were really in trouble, selling just one artifact would
be enough to have collectors throwing money at you.”
Ellis stayed composed. “It's not as tic as you make it out to be.”
Freya's tone turned serious. “I could look up your company’s revenue right now.”
Ellis was caught off guard. He had clearly underestimated her.
Freya couldn't help but ask, “If your family’s that rich, then why in the world are you working at mine?”
Freya was confused. How on earth had she cto the conclusion that Ellis had only just stepped out of military
retirement and was still trying to adjust to life in society? And what had sparked her strange urge to take him
under her wing?

collected, as always. “Even though the Lambert Group is my family’s legacy, if someone as green as | am were
to suddenly take the reins, how would | ever gain the respect of the board?”
Freya paused to mull it over. It did seem likely that he wouldn't be met with open arms.
“Once I've fully acclimated to the outside world and picked up a proper understanding of management, that’s
when I'll step in to run the company. It'll be better for bothand the Lambert Group,” Ellis added, his voice
deep and smooth, laced with a quiet magnetism that made it hard to look away.

“That actually makes a lot of sense,” Freya said, nodding in agreement. A faint, amused smile tugged at the
corners of Ellis’s eyes.
He found her so adorably naive.
“How about this,” Freya offered, her trust in him shining through. “Next year, you can step in as the acting
president of Anita International. Melvin and | will be right there backing you up. If you can run my company well,
the Lambert Group will be a walk in the park.”
If the Lambert Group was a symbol of heritage and legacy, Anita International stood at the cutting edge of
technological progress.
Both the Briggs Group and the Lambert Group were expansive conglomerates, known for their profitability and
trendsetting influence. Anita International, on the other hand, was all about cutting-edge chip research. And in
that niche, it was unmatched—an undisputed leader.
