Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Louis Group move...

In the large conference room on the presidential floor, the atmosphere was heavy. Major board members and directors of various units sat in silence, their faces grim.

The large brown mahogany table shone under the light. Papers sprawled before them.

The projector hummed softly, displaying the current trend of the Allen Group stock on the market.

The chart dipped steeply, its red line cutting across the screen like a blade.

Their faces hardened and ashen, some paled, as if watching the lifeblood of the Group drain away before their very eyes.

Murmurs of dread rippled beneath the surface, but no one dared to voice the full extent of their fears or the outcome of such stock fall.

Vera took a deep breath and began her address. Luke sat at the edge of the table closer to the door, and the president’s seat had his note and ballpoint pen ready to write down.

He had already decided to do just his work as an assistant but not for Vera.

For him, he really wanted to see how far Vera would go in handling this situation, while contemplating the possibility of this being another plot of the Louis family.

From the records he studied last night, it’s no doubt that Louis is the biggest enemy of the Allen Group.

Yet it is quite ridiculous how they shared a marriage tie and alliance between them.

"I summoned this meeting to discuss the way forward, looking at the situation of the stock and its possible effect on the Group. Our president isn’t on the seat, and this happens," she said, her gaze sweeping across the room.

"I just think something needs to be done to counter this problem, and it has to be done really fast; otherwise, if the current trend continues...I doubt if the Allen Group will survive this storm," she said.

Her words tightened the air further.

Several members nodded grimly, their eyes flicking once again to the damning chart on the projector, as though willing it to reverse. But the line remained the same, continuously plummeting mercilessly.

"Since the president isn’t on seat, I suppose the vice president should act in his stead," a member suggested.

"Yes, with the stock plummeting at this rate, we should think about the countermeasures and means of stabilizing it."

"I think the Vice President should assume this role immediately and let’s see how to weather this storm."

"I suggest since the president isn’t on seat, maybe an external investor could be given the chance to inject funds into the group."

"For me, I have a different idea. Why had the Louis Group decided to bring this matter to the press without first consulting the Allen Group?"

Vera’s gaze narrowed at the speaker, but she remained silent. Her finger drummed the table rhythmically, her thoughts spinning at a rapid rate.

According to Sylas, he had handled every possible setback, and she only needed to use her office and handle the transition smoothly without hitches.

And with Davis nowhere in sight, there was no doubt it was a won battle.

But then, why was there someone ready and willing to probe the facts before them?

Her teeth pressed lightly into her lower lip.

" I need to end this. "

"Once I get the Alpha Project out of my hands, I’ll finally be free of the Louis family." Not what he thought it.

While she was still lost in thought, the voice continued:

"Also, if my memory serves me right, this project seems to be in the office of the vice president," the young man concluded.

A hush fell over the room. Heads turned towards Vera, their eyes sharpening with inquisitiveness.

A sharp crisp clap echoed against the thick silence. "Well said."She smirked.. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
