Chapter 79
Thinking that, Logan put his phone away. The driver showed up in no time, and Logan didn’t hesitate, he hopped in and
rushed off to the office.
As soon as Logan stepped into the office, Andrew rushed over, looking a bit tense. “Mr. Eliot, the board members are already waiting for you in the conference room.
Because those board members were so agitated, the whole company was feeling uneasy.
Andrew was hoping to keep things under control, so he’d been waiting here to hurriedly lead Logan into the elevator.
Logan nodded and walked into the elevator. The moment he spotted the bruise on Andrew’s forehead, he frowned and asked, “What happened?”
Andrew looked a little awkward. “Some of the board members got a bit too emotional. It’s really nothing. I was just standing in the wrong spot, and one of them threw something that hit me.”
Even though Andrew tried to brush it off, Logan’s face instantly turned cold. Everyone knew Andrew was his personal assistant, so publicly disrespecting him was deeply embarrassing for Logan.
Those old board members were always flaunting their age and seniority, but Logan never wasted his breath on them.
He’d been running Eliot Group for years, keeping everything running like clockwork. Even when they tossed out snide comments, they never really dared to mess with his decisions.
As Eliot Group kept rising to new heights, those guys had finally stopped running their mouths.
But now, all it took was one misstep to have them up in arms. They seemed to have completely forgotten how far the Eliot Group had come since the beginning.
Logan was holding back a storm of anger, and as soon as the elevator doors opened, he walked out briskly.
When he entered the conference room, it was still noisy and chaotic. No one bothered to quiet down for him. Instead, a barrage of questions hit him from all sides.
Logan’s face, already grim, turned downright stormy. He walked over to the head of the table and sat down.
Even after Logan sat down, everyone kept talking over each other, not stopping for a second.
Logan finally lost his cool, snatched up a cup from the table, and threw it aside. “Enough. What do you think this is?”
His outburst made the conference room fall silent for a brief moment. But the quiet didn’t last; the murmurs started up again almost immediately.
The board member sitting closest to Logan was the first to speak up. “Mr. Eliot, we don’t want to keep arguing here. We’re all getting older. Who doesn’t want to spend our days in peace at home?
“It’s not that we want to make a fuss, but you’re the one making it impossible for us to have that peace.
“When the Westridge project first started, the board voted unanimously in favor. You kept assuring us how profitable it would be, so we agreed to let you pour so much money into it.
“And now you just gave it away to the Lyons Group? Did you ever ask for our opinion before doing that?
“The Lyons Group’s been struggling lately, and as their son–in–law, it’s only natural you’d want to help out. We get it.

Things were getting heated, and the room was on the verge of chaos. Logan banged his fist on the table, hard.
“Didn’t you drag me in here for an explanation? Is anyone actually listening to me?”
Logan swept his gaze over everyone in the room. “Now that there’s trouble, you all come charging in, demanding answere
“But when Eliot Group was raking in profits and handing out dividends, did any of you ever question my decisions? No one should be that selfish. But before you judge me, maybe check yourselves first.
“Besides, that land was part of her family’s property. Returning it is only the right thing to do. You’re right, my wife wants out, and she’s asking for the land back.
“I run Eliot Group. I’m not about to cling to her family’s property and refuse to give it back.”
After Logan finished speaking, the conference room fell silent for a few seconds, but soon the board members started murmuring under their breath again.
After some whispering, it was still the senior board member sitting beside him who finally spoke up.
“You say the land belongs to the Lyons family, and sure, giving it back makes sense. But we’ve already sunk a ton of cash into that project. Are we just supposed to watch our investment go up in smoke?
“Either you talk to the Lyons family and get them to pay us back, or you cover the loss yourself. We shouldn’t be left holding the bag because of your personal drama.
“If this was just normal business risks or setbacks, we could deal with it. But this is all happening because of your private drama.
“Mr. Eliot, do you really think it’s fair for us board members to eat the loss for this?”
With the board member putting it like that, Logan didn’t bother arguing anymore.
He said firmly, “Fine. Every single loss from this project will be covered by the Eliot family, none of you will have to bear
