True Love Waits

Chapter 1393 Screwed Things Up

Someone in the crowd quickly changed his tune. "Yeah, you're right. The next step is more important. Go ahead, Young Master!"

"True. I think we need to get the big picture! It's just a file. Why can't Mr. Huo's son tell us what's in it?"

Everyone shut up, even the haters. They'd given him a task, so they decided to listen.

Boswell opened the sealed document, skimmed the contents, and then read it out loud. "Senior executives and shareholders, to ensure cooperation with Strange Island Company, the next phase is to purchase its strongest competitor, Forever Poet Co., Ltd."

That part of the meeting only took five minutes. Everyone held their tongues during that time. Only the child-like voice of Boswell could be heard, announcing major decisions that affected more than a dozen companies.

After the announcements, the once quiet meeting room was in an uproar. "Mr. Huo, that can't be right. Forever Poet Co., Ltd is a well-known company with a long history..."

"Yeah. Traffic on the Sail site is at an all-time low. Why did Mr. Matthew Huo decide on that course of action?"

Paige stood beside Boswell, motioning for everyone to be quiet. "I don't think we need to question how and why he does things, do you? Really, has he ever let you down? Now we have to carry out the contract with Innocence."

Based on what Matthew said, this was a done deal. Once the cooperation was declared, dozens of factories would be all over it.

While the meeting was in full swing, Matthew drove the car and told Erica, "My phone's dead. Call Paige and ask her to go to conference room 3. She can stall them till I get there."

"Oh! Okay!" She did as he asked. It didn't take Paige long to pick up, and Erica relayed Matthew's message.

Hearing that, Paige smiled. "Mrs. Huo, please tell Mr. Huo that Young Master has already announced our contract with Innocence."

"What? I must be hearing things!" Erica exclaimed in surprise.
