A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 590

“No, it has nothing to do with her.” David finally uttered to respond. But he still had no courage to look at Louis, “Louis, I have been in a grudge against you. But I tried hard to put up with it during the past few years.”

“I could never be resigned to the fact that I could only serve you as your assistant regardless of my excellency! And you even condescended to lecture me! My jealousy burnt when I saw the Smith Group booming. Then I sold the confidential information to the rivals.”

Louis replied casually, “Do you know how much you have to pay for it?”

“It would be just a few years of imprisonment.” David smiled and shrugged. He then added, “But I have earned enough. The money I got from selling the information has gone far beyond the sum of my annual pay during these years. What I got is worth my time in the prison.”

“David, here is your last chance.” Said Louis.

“Confess to me if you want no bad consequence.”

“I have nothing to confess. I did commit it.”

The stalemate between them lasted for a few minutes.

As Louis noticed that David still insisted to commit the crime, Louis didn’t intend to argue anymore. He turned around and left, “You have to pay for your own choice.”

Seeing Louis walking away from the detention room, David let out a bitter smile.

‘Sorry, Mr. Smith, I have failed you.’

As Sofia was now pregnant, he decided to bear the price on himself.

The stock price of Smith Group had still been declining after David announced his crime in front of the press.

What was worse, another bombshell hit the group again a few days later.

The president of a subsidiary of Smith Group, with his induction of less than four years only, was involved in marital infidelity and domestic violence against his wife. Besides, it was said that he even had a three-year-old daughter with his mistress. In order to gag his wife, he abused her and threatened her with her own life.

The stock price of Smith Group flopped a great deal because of the two widely-spread scandals. It even hit the price of limit down.

Even though Smith Group had issued a declaration and also a punishment against both David and the president involved. The situation still worsened.

What was worse, some speculators started to purchase the stock shares of Smith Group in bulk, which cost hundreds of million.

Catherine also noticed something fishy. She hurried to tell Louis about it.

Catherine asked for permission, “Mr. Smith, shall we inform the Security Commission of it and require a limit of their purchase?”

Louis still looked composed while browsing the information of the purchase, including the date, the number of shares and also the sum.

It didn’t seem to be an impact on him.

“We don’t need to.” Louis closed the laptop and continued casually, “Just leave it. Has all shareholders arrived?”

“Most of them.”

Louis put on his suit blazer and walked out of the office with Catherine.

The profit shown on the earnings report during the recent two years had been promising. All shareholders were quite satisfied with it. However, the bombshell happening a few days ago also stirred up agitation among them.

After all, they earned only when Smith group did the same.

As soon as Louis entered the conference room, he was flooded with the complaint about the scandals from shareholders though in a euphemistic way. But some of them even accused him of dereliction of duty for hiring David as his PA.

But Louis stayed composed still. When it was time, he started the conference.

When the conference was about to come to an end, the door was pushed open.

Sofia, who was told by Catherine to enter, walked over beside Louis and asked formally, “Mr. Smith, what can I do for you?”

“Take a seat.” Louis pointed at a chair beside.

All shareholders were confused by the sudden arrival of this senior manager.

Louis then opened an envelope and took out a piece of file. Then he handed it to Catherine to show everyone in the room.
