Her Return, His Regret novel Chapter 150

[Ryan Kingsley is in his last days and the future of the Kingsley Group remains uncertain.]

[The Kingsley Group’s stocks keep dropping following Ryan’s declining health. Could this be the end of the Kingsley Group?]

[The Kingsley Group is on the verge of collapse as Ryan Kingsley approaches his end.]

The news of Ryan’s deteriorating health spread through the city like an angry wildfire. Ryan was going through his phone, reading the headlines when Lora grabbed his phone from him.

He was better now but to avoid getting another infection, he still stayed in the isolation ward. Lora was there for her daily visit when the internet went crazy with the news of Ryan’s condition.

“I don’t think you should read the news. It will just stress you,” Lora remarked as she put the phone away.

“It’s funny how quickly these reporters get wind of information about me. I’m guessing this is Celeste’s doing,” Ryan replied, his eyes turning cold at the thought. “She just won’t let this go until I make a move to deal with her.”

“Grandpa said he will deal with her,” Lora said. “You don’t have to worry about anything. Just focus on getting better.”

Lora’s phone suddenly buzzed and her expression changed when she read the message she had received.

“What is it?” Ryan asked.

“Um… it's nothing-”

“Tell me the truth, my love… please,” Ryan requested.

Lora sighed heavily. She responded reluctantly, saying, “It’s Lawrence. He’s saying Grandpa is having a hard time calming the board members. Apparently, they had called for an emergency meeting since the current news has shaken the company to the core.”

Ryan’s eyes flashed coldly. He knew the company was very vulnerable and was at risk of a hostile takeover in its current state.

“I need to go there…” Ryan said as he pulled out the IV on his arm gently.

Lora’s eyes widened when she saw Ryan getting down from the bed.

“Hey, no you can’t. It’s risky-”

“It’s ok… I’ll wear a mask. I need to deal with this. Someone will take advantage of the company’s weak state to take control of it. I can’t let that happen. This is our family’s legacy,” Ryan replied.

Lora pursed her lips into a thin line as she watched Ryan put on his suit. She didn’t like the idea of Ryan risking his health by going out there. However, she understood why he wanted to protect the company.

She would do the same if her family’s company which had been there for generations were on the verge of collapse.

Thus, she wasn’t going to stop her husband but support him.

“I’ll go with you,” Lora offered, a smile crossing her lips. “I know you would stand by my side if something happened to Davis & Co. too.”

Ryan glanced at Lora lovingly, a warm smile on his lips. He replied, “Let’s go and put things in order.”

…

Meanwhile, in the conference room at the Kingsley Group, intense tension hung thick in the air.

Shareholders sat around the long oak table, their faces a mix of concern, fear and greed.

Charles Kingsley and Miles shared a look, sighing heavily from exhaustion. They had been having a hard time for close to an hour, trying to calm the shareholders.
