Chapter 381 Prepared To Face The Consequences
Noah stood to the side, watching Sadie and Averi’s tight embrace, his heart a maelstrom of emotions.
As Sadie’s condition steadily improved, Noah returned to the Wall Group.
The atmosphere in the CEO’s office was oppressively tense.
Noah sat behind the expansive desk, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the surface, the dull thuds resonating ominously.
His face remained as impassive as a frozen lake, yet his eyes smoldered with an intense fire, casting a chilling presence.
Standing before him, Samuel delivered the latest findings of their investigation.
“Mr. Wall, we’ve discovered that the Howe and Perry families have been collaborating closely, secretly acquiring various small to medium–sized businesses. They are also attempting to lure away our core technology team.”
Samuel spoke in a low tone, bracing for Noah’s potential reaction.
“Really? They think forming an alliance against me will bring me down?” Noah scoffed, a sharp smile playing on his lips.
“Do they actually believe this will defeat me?”
His voice, though not loud, carried a formidable authority that chilled the room.
“Mr. Wall, what’s our next move?” Samuel inquired with caution.
“What’s our next move?” Noah pondered, rising slowly to approach the floor–to–ceiling window.
“If they want a game, I’ll give them one,” he declared, turning to face Samuel with a piercing gaze. “Let it be known that
Wall Group is venturing into the new energy sector, focusing on key initiatives…”
He paused, his eyes gleaming coldly. “I want them to cough up everything they’ve taken.”
Samuel felt a surge of adrenaline.
Noah’s responses were always swift and decisive.
He was determined to exact a steep toll on those who dared harm Sadie.
As the stock market opened, a covert battle commenced.
Wall Group unexpectedly announced its foray into the new energy market, pouring significant investment into several ventures. This move sparked widespread controversy.
Stocks linked to the Howe and Perry families tumbled dramatically, leaving market watchers dumbfounded.
Simultaneously, a deluge of negative publicity involving the Howe and Perry Groups–ranging from quality lapses to tax evasion and unfair competition–saturated the media, plunging both corporations into a deep crisis.

Chapter 381 Prepared To Face The Consequences
“What… What’s happening?” Terrance stared at the plummeting stock prices on his computer screen, his complexion turning pale, sweat forming on his forehead.
He had never expected Noah’s counterattack to be so immediate and severe.
“He’s trying to destroy us,” Terrance said, his voice quivering with a hint of despair.
In the Perry Group’s chairman’s office, Elbert was similarly taken aback.
He hadn’t foreseen Noah’s response to be so rapid and merciless.
“Dad, we can’t keep going like this. We need to find a way to counteract Noah,” Aliza said, her voice tinged with worry.
“I know! I know!” Elbert responded irritably, waving his hand dismissively. “But what can we possibly do?”
Both Perry and Howe Groups were facing intense pressure.
Just then, Elbert’s phone rang; it was Terrance on the line.
“Hello, Terrance. What’s the matter?” Elbert answered, his tone showing impatience.
“Elbert, this situation can’t go on!” Terrance’s voice was filled with urgency and panic.
Elbert scoffed. “Do you have a plan?”
“We…” Terrance started, but Elbert cut him off. “Terrance, listen. We’re in this together, and there’s no escaping it,” Elbert’s
tone was harsh and firm. “If you even think about backing out now, don’t expect any mercy from me.”
A chill ran through Terrance.
“Elbert, what… what do you mean?” Terrance stammered.
“What do I mean? My meaning is clear,” Elbert stated coldly. “Either we stand together, or we fall together. The choice is
yours now.”
“You…” Terrance was so furious he trembled, yet he felt utterly powerless.
“Terrance, I suggest you act wisely. Know when to bend rather than continue futile resistance.” Elbert’s voice carried a
veiled threat. “Or be prepared to face the consequences.”
With that, Elbert ended the call.
Terrance listened to the disconnect tone, his expression darkening, his despair deepening.
Meanwhile, in the hospital’s VIP ward, Sadie cradled Averi, softly humming a lullaby.
