Chapter 99 Leaving the George Group I
Newton Town was rather big. In the era of the Internet, everything would be known to the public.
I didn’t go back to the villa, but Nanny Daisy called to inform me that there were many reporters outside the villa and told me not to go back.
Fortunately, no one knew about YT Apartment, so it was still safe to stay here.
I still couldn’t get in touch with Dennis. Luis called to inform me that he was still in the ICU, but he didn’t know the exact situation.
The George Group’s stock market, as I predicted, fell to the bottom in just two days. Many shareholders have already given up on it, and some have committed suicide.
Toby held a press conference to announce that due to the intervention of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce to conduct an investigation, all of George Group’s companies would be on a hiatus.
Most of the shops, shopping malls, construction sites, and hospitals in Newton Town belong to the George Group’s family. Once they stop, the entire city became semi-paralyzed.
Diana went out to buy groceries every day, she would also go for a walk at the George Group’s building and tell me about the situation when she came back.
I still haven’t figured out all these things, but since I couldn’t get into the company I could only wait.
“Don’t think about it. The most important thing now is that you stay here and take good care of your health. Your stomach is getting bigger, and you will be giving birth in a few months.” Diana’s cooking skills have improved a lot recently, she comforted me while scooping food for me.
I nodded, although that’s what I should be doing at this point, how could I be calm, “The Bureau of Industry and Commerce will issue an investigation report tomorrow, and I don’t know what the situation is!”
“Don’t think about it. The worst-case scenario would be nothing more than the George Group’s going bankrupt. At most, you would carry the blame. Dennis is the CEO and chairman of the board. What he would carry is the billions of debts if the George Group’s collapse, which is worse than you. You better think of a way to get him to sign the divorce papers. Billions of debts would never be paid back in your life.” Diana was telling the truth. People are selfish. I could understand but I disagreed.
I sighed, “What am I if I were to leave now? Freddy treated me so well back then, if I leave at this time, I am afraid that I would blame myself for a lifetime in the future.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
She nodded, looked at me, and said, “Clara, have you ever thought that this matter could have been planned out by Marcus? HY Technology Co., Ltd. had an accident under his management previously. He knew that there was a problem, but he didn’t report it or handle it. There were also AC Co., Ltd. and Jo Turner Credit Co., Ltd. incidents. Most of the problems were from Thomson Group. Do you think it was him who wanted to deal with Dennis, so he used you…?”
It’s not that I haven’t thought about what she said but Dennis was not a fool. I have mentioned it to him before and he didn’t take it to heart. If Marcus, did it, it would be impossible for him not to consider Thomson Group. The George Group’s and Thomson Group are tied together once they went publicly listed.
Marcus was a smart man. He couldn’t do such a thing that would hurt his opponent and himself. He would have no benefit at all from it.
The more I thought about these things, the greater the headache. The George Group was too big to handle, and Dennis was not here. I didn’t know what to do now.
She patted me on the shoulder when she saw my frustration and said, “Well, don’t think about it anymore. After all, you are only 26 years old. How much can you know about cut schemes and plots? It’s not as simple as imagined for all the issues that the George Group is currently facing now.”
Oh yes! Why did such a big incident suddenly happen when Dennis had an accident and Mario, and Marcus were away?
Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that this matter was planned, and it just all suddenly happened.
Samuel!
His name suddenly appeared in my mind, and I became discouraged.
If something were to happen to the George Group, only Luna and Samuel were the most capable to help Dennis. They were on par in terms of their connections and financial strength.
Their daughter, who had been lost for more than 20 years, suddenly came back to them. How could her parents not give her what she wanted?
Olivia loves Dennis. That kind of love has probably become a habit. If there was no accident, it would be unlikely for Dennis and me, a pregnant woman, to divorce. However, matters are different now.
“What are you thinking of?” Diana looked at me, tugged my sleeve, and asked.
“Conspiracy!” When I spoke, I couldn’t eat anymore. I put down the chopsticks in my hand, looked at Diana, and said, “This time, I’m afraid it wasn’t after Dennis but me!”
She didn’t know the reason, so she looked at me and asked, “What’s the matter? I am confused by what you said.”
I ignored her. My head was exploding. If it was instigated by Samuel and Luna, why would they encounter an airplane accident at the same time? Even if they loved Olivia, they would not use their own lives to ponder a plan for their daughter!
“It’s fine, I might have overthought!” After responding to her, I got up and went back to the bedroom.
Then I called Luis, the call was connected almost immediately, “Clara, are you okay?”
“I’m fine!” I stood on the balcony and looked at the scene downstairs and asked, “How’s it going on your side?”
“He’s still in the ICU, there is nothing I can do, I can only wait. In addition, I got back today. It is useless to guard there since Jo Turner Credit Co., Ltd. had been investigated. There are too many things going on, staying would be a mistake.”
True, it’s useless to guard a patient that you can’t meet.
Thinking of Marcus and Mario, I couldn’t help but ask, “Did you see Marcus and Mario there?”
The two of them can’t stay there forever, right? After such a big incident that happened to the company, do they plan to stay in the City P to take care of Dennis?
That’s not logical!
“Mario is in the ICU. Marcus arranged for someone to come over today and left this morning. Don’t worry about the George Group’s affairs. It’s just a big reshuffle. It would take at most half a month to recover.”
He should be in the corridor, there are echoes from time to time.
I frowned, “Well, fine!” I haven’t figured out what’s going on. After all, my business foresight is limited, and I can’t understand what’s happening.
After chatting for a while, he hung up.
I packed up and was prepared to go out.
If Marcus came back today, then he should go to the George Group as soon as possible.
Diana was taken aback when she saw me heading out with my bag, she stood at the door, looked at me, and asked, “Are you crazy? Going out at this time?”
“Marcus is back, I’m going to the company.”
She was speechless, “Let him deal with it when he gets back. You, a pregnant woman, are going out with such a big belly. What if something happens?”
“It’ll be fine!” The matter should not be as serious as I thought. Since Marcus only just came back a few days after the accident, it should be that there are some things that he should know better than me.
“I will accompany you!” She may have realized that she would not be able to persuade me, so she just took her coat and went out with me.
There were still a lot of reporters and shareholders that blocked the George Group’s building, they were unable to get in.
Fortunately, Diana was clever. She drove my car and parked it under the George Group’s building. It didn’t take long for people to notice. I didn’t know who yelled in the crowd, “Isn’t that Mrs. George, Clara’s car?”
