Chapter 400:
Instead, he reached out and gripped her shoulders — his large hands firm, anchoring her shaking body to the floor. He forced her to look at him. His dark eyes were like solid obsidian, burning with absolute conviction.
“Listen to me, June,” Brogan said, his voice deep and steady. “This is not your fault. This is Cole Compton’s pathetic lack of morality. He is not attacking Apex Bio because of you. He is attacking us because he is terrified of us. He is terrified of the future you represent p>
The words hit June like a physical shockwave.
In one sentence, he had taken the crushing weight of “personal grudge” and elevated it into something far larger — a commercial threat, a war worth fighting. The heavy moral chains wrapped around her lungs shattered completely.
June stared at him, her lips parted in shock.
Brogan’s thumbs moved. He gently, almost imperceptibly rubbed the tense muscles of her shoulders.
“You have never been a liability to this company,” Brogan said, his voice dropping to a low, powerful register. “You are our most valuable asset. Apex Bio would not even exist without you p>

His words poured into her chest like warm, liquid iron.
The rigid tension in June’s spine slowly began to melt. Her breathing steadied.
Brogan watched the guilt recede from her eyes. He knew she didn’t need more comfort. She needed action.
He decisively released her shoulders, turned, and picked up the sleek black phone on her desk. He hit the intercom button.
“I want every single employee still in this building to report to the main conference room in exactly ten minutes,” Brogan ordered, his voice carrying the sharp, unquestionable authority of a CEO preparing for war.

“A meeting?” June asked, her brow furrowing. “Right now p>
The entire building was in a state of panic. The core team had just walked out. Calling a meeting at this moment felt like standing on the deck of a sinking ship and asking the crew to admire the view.
Brogan set the phone down. A hard, resilient smile touched the corner of his mouth.
“Yes. Right now,” Brogan said.
He looked at her, his eyes filled with absolute, unwavering trust.
“We need to stabilize the panic,” Brogan explained. “And you, June, are going to be the anchor that holds this entire company to the ground p>
He reached out again. This time, his hand moved to her face.
He gently brushed a stray lock of hair away from her forehead and tucked it behind her ear.
The gesture was so natural, so tender, that June’s heart skipped a beat.
Brogan dropped his hand. His expression hardened into pure steel.
“Get ready,” Brogan said, leaving no room for hesitation. “We are going to fight a war p>
June looked into his dark, unwavering eyes. The guilt was gone. The lethal, burning fire of a cornered predator roared back to life in her veins.
She took a deep breath and gave him a single, sharp nod.
The main conference room of Apex Bio was suffocating.
