A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 182

Sherry called William when she was in the car. He had to be worried to death and the only thing she could do for him right now was to give him her support.

But his phone was turned off. She tried to call him several times but to no avail. Sherry was on pins and needles, being unable to reach him. There was nothing else that she could do but to send him a message.

“William, no matter what happens, I believe that you’ll handle the issue well. You will be able to get through this, I believe in you! I love you!”

“Sherry, don’t worry. The Rowland Group is a huge company. A tiny rumour like that wouldn’t be able to take them down!” Keegan tried to comfort Sherry.

“I know!” Sherry nodded, “But I couldn’t help myself but feel worried. The newspaper said that they will be releasing more information on them. Keegan, do you know what might it be? Did the Rowland Group really pave their way to success through tax evasion and bribery?”

Keegan said, “Sherry, do you know how your father started his business?”

“How?”

“Smuggling,” said Keegan in a low voice, “Most businesses started dirty and would do charity after they succeeded. They did too many bad things in the beginning and they wanted to redeem themselves!”

Sherry was shocked, “So what if the information on the Rowland Group is true?”

“Then they’ll need to redeem themselves!” said Keegan plainly.

“Will they be able to?”

“Of course!”

At the Rowland residence.

John saw the newspaper and didn’t have much reaction towards it.

He looked puzzled seeing Sherry’s arrival, “What are you doing here?”

“John… I’m here to see you!” Sherry didn’t dare to mention the newspaper. Seeing John so calm, Sherry assumed that John hadn’t read the paper yet.

“You’re here because of the news, right?” John said gently. He didn’t think that Sherry would come to see him when things were going bad for him. The expression in John’s eyes turned softer, Sherry was such a kind soul! Will wasn’t wrong for picking her and John felt reassured.

“Have you read the paper?” Sherry was stunned.

John nodded, “Come with me!”

Sherry was puzzled but she followed John to the study room on the second floor.

John sat at his table and signaled Sherry to sit down as well.

Sherry sat down on the sofa and John lighted a cigarette.

“John, are you not worried?” She was super worried. Such malicious rumours would have the potential to affect the company’s stock, that would cause a huge turmoil and might bring forth more unrest.

“What are you afraid of?” John raised his brow. The arrogant look on his face reminded her of William.

Sherry thought about William and his different expressions, they were really father and son. She wondered what kind of face William would be wearing right now. She felt reassured seeing John so calm.

John made a phone call in front of Sherry unhurriedly, “Go investigate which newspaper offices took part in this report and find out the culprit! Be extra careful and take every information the person has on the Rowland group and bring it to me!”

Sherry’s heart started racing hearing John making the phone call.

He put down the phone and looked at the worried Sherry. He said, “Sherry, we must be sure that everything holds water when we do business, you understand?”

“What?” Sherry was dumbfounded.

“Also, stop being fidgety. Remember the first time I threatened you? You weren’t nervous at all. Why are you so scared right now?”

“John, this is different!” Sherry had no dreams back then and her heart was less fragile. But the problem right now concerned the Rowland Group, of course she would be worried!”

“It’s the same thing! Don’t worry!” said John as he pulled out the drawer.

Sherry was confused, “John, how are you so sure that the company wouldn’t be affected?”

***

“The company will be affected!” Their stock market and their trustworthiness would be highly affected, but John didn’t let it show.

Sherry was aghast, “Then what should we do?”

She had already subconsciously involved herself deeply with the Rowland Group and John was content with her reaction. “Well, we could only launch an investigation, there’s no way to seal them off. Though we can find out who is behind the scenes, and make them have a taste of their own medicine!”

“So you want to wait for that person to come clean?” Sherry came to a realization.

“Smart!” John nodded, “Let’s wait for that person to appear!”

Not long after, John’s phone rang, “Will! Talk!”

Sherry got nervous, was it really William on the other end of the phone?”

“Dad, I just got off the plane. I’ll head there right now! Don’t worry about the issue with the company, I’ll deal with it!” said William with a hint of reassurance in his voice.
