Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

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.
