Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 694 Health

Charles was taken away for investigation, causing chaos at the Davis Group. The company's stock plummeted even faster than the Cloudex Corporation did in the past.

There were no secrets in the business world. It was clear to everyone that the Davis Group, which was heavily in debt and facing lawsuits, had lost its credibility and had no chance of recovery.

However, what puzzled people was how Charles and the Davis Group had fallen so much. After all, they were once one of the powerful top four giants of the business world.

Wasn't the Xanther Group doing well? People still remembered the legendary tale of how the Xanther Group's Initial Public Offering was done in just three months. How could the Davis Group collapse so suddenly when the Xanther Group still existed?

This question quickly led to analyses and discussions by self-proclaimed online experts and influencers. Some speculated that Charles's series of poor decisions, such as investing in a failing real estate market, had led to the losses.

Others suggested that he was betrayed by his peers, citing the fact that the Middleton, Swanson, and Beathan families had acquired his shares in Xanther Group at a low price during the Davis Group's troubles.

There were even theories about his key staff being poached, shareholders fleeing with their investments, or Charles moving assets overseas.

Those were the ones that were considered as reasonable speculations. The most outrageous claim was that Charles had become addicted to gambling, losing hundreds of millions in a single night.

Emelie laughed at that theory. "That reminds me of when I first met Charles on a business cruise. We played a few rounds of poker together."
