Chapter 1896 Make Things Right In the end, Richard and Mila, Elektra's parents, rushed to the building.

Roxanne had already gotten down from the railing and was squatting on the ground with her hands wrapped around her legs.

Her expression was devoid of any trace of emotion.

She finally piped up after a considerable amount of time had passed.

“Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for causing both of you to worry. | can never atone for what I've done in this lifetime! | don't have the slightest clue how to salvage everything, but I'll continue living and strive to make things right step by step for the rest of my life.” Roxanne had completely won Elektra over.

Her words had been a wake-up call for Elektra.

Seeking death is just running away from my responsibilities. The only way | can convey my sincerest apologies is through actions.

Half an hour later, the senior management of Flora Verba Group called for a meeting, whereby an announcement about Elektra's resignation from the position of CEO was made. Henceforth, she was no longer part of the company.

Resigning from the company was Elektra's own decision, for she was too ashamed to remain in the company.

Roxanne subsequently declared as the director that the initial thirty percent of Elektra's shares would be decreased to twenty percent and transferred to Richard.

That evening, Elektra went to the police station with her parents and confessed to all of the crimes she'd committed.

Despite that, her lawyer still tried to plead her case and fight for the reduction of her sentence with the first reason being her attempt at the crime was unsuccessful. Secondly, she had yet to cause any severe harm to society.

Soon enough, the Lane family released a statement stating they'd donate two hundred million to the victims of the fire. The amount would be used to treat those whose faces were scalded and disfigured by the fire.

Lucian and Roxanne couldn't care less about the final verdict of the court case.

Nevertheless, Richard still called Lucian later during the day to apologize and inform him about his daughter being detained at the police station.

“Lucian, | am grateful to you and Ms. Jarvis. Elektra would have chosen a path of no return and jumped off the building if Ms.

Jarvis hadn't said what she said. Elektra now understands she was at fault and will try to make amends by all means possible.

Thank you for still retaining our portion of the shares. If not, we'd be doomed. We're truly sorry...” Richard began choking up toward the end.

Lucian gave a brief response, telling them not to overthink.

Elektra's incident might have ended, but Christina, the perpetrator, seemed to have vanished into thin air.

She was still nowhere to be found even after the police had listed her as a suspect and issued a search warrant for her. Besides, her current identity as a Hawenese only complicated things.

Lucian immediately instructed Cayden to utilize all his resources and wide connections to locate Christina's whereabouts.

After tucking the three kids into bed, Roxanne returned to the living room. She saw Lucian's grim expression and knew he was still worried.

Danger was still lurking in every corner of their lives as long as Christina wasn't found.

The evil woman had been plotting and scheming for such a long time and had picked the right time to execute her ploy.

It had been a close call for Roxanne.

Roxanne's voice snapped Lucian out of his thoughts. “Lucian, | would like to discuss something with you.” Roxanne proceeded to reveal her intentions to install Jonathan as the new CEO of the company and transfer ten percent of the company's shares to him.

This meant that five billion out of the company's net worth of fifty billion would instantly be transferred to Jonathan.

Roxanne did not have the slightest hesitation in doing so, for she was convinced that Jonathan's capability was worth far more than that.

“All right, but I'll have to think about it. After all, Jonathan is one of my most trusted right-hand men responsible for managing many of my businesses,” said Lucian in a teasing tone.

“I know, but he doesn't have to do much. He should just focus on establishing a core team. Elektra's resignation would definitely arouse suspicions among some of the senior executives. | just need him to calm them down and reassure them, that's all. Can't you just loan him to me?” Roxanne pouted, acting adorably to get her way.

Lucian pulled her into his arms and nodded at once.
