From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 522

Rebecca tried to reassure her father. "Dad, please don't worry. Daniel gave me his word—he wouldn't go back on a promise. For all we know, he's already making arrangements right now!"

Daly felt a small measure of relief settle in his chest.

Just then, a knock sounded at the office door.

"Come in!" Daly called out.

A few of the company's shareholders entered, faces grim.

"Daly, the company's on the edge of bankruptcy. Our stock has dropped another ten percent, and if this keeps up, you know exactly what's going to happen."

Daly's brow furrowed. "So, what are you suggesting?"

"Someone's offered to buy us out," one of them said. "We've talked it over, and we think it's time to sell."

"No way!" Daly's face turned hard. "You've all been with the company for years. We've weathered plenty of storms together-are you really going to abandon ship now, when things are toughest?"

Sell the company? Even if they did, the proceeds wouldn't come close to covering all the mess they were in.

The shareholders fell silent.

Daly continued, "Let me be straight with you. The Robinson Group is about to invest in Morris Enterprises. When that happens, we'll be back on top-and better than ever!"

The shareholders exchanged glances, clearly believing him. After all, the last time Morris Enterprises was in crisis, the Robinson Group had swooped in to save them.

"That's a relief to hear, Daly. When are they investing?"

"It's already in motion," Daly assured them.
