His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1316

What was worse, other shareholders of the company flocked into Holley's office to criticize and accuse her. She felt frustrated by all the strange eyes and harsh words that were directed at her.

"Miss Ye, you must have already heard some rumors about you in our company. We think that what you have done has spoiled the reputation of Tarsan Corporation. You are no longer fit to sit in the position of general manager at all," one of the shareholders demanded.

"That's right, Miss Ye. If you know what's best for you, you'd better take the initiative to give up your position as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will drag yourself with embarrassment. We accept that you may have no respect for yourself to be doing such inappropriate things, but we won't allow you to damage the image of Tarsan Corporation nor affect the other shareholders' interest." The other shareholders all nodded in agreement.

Holley was shocked and startled. She remained speechless in response to these malicious persecutions at that moment.

She could only keep apologizing and begging them to give her a little time to make a decision.

"I'm so sorry. But these rumors are all fake slanders. I will have this fully investigated to resolve this matter as soon as possible. I hope you will give me another chance. I will give you and Tarsan Corporation a satisfactory answer." Looking around at every shareholder in the room, Holley assured them in a firm tone. But in reality, her heart was full of fear and in panic.

It didn't take long before the rumors had reached Black. He also knew that the other shareholders joined forces to press on Holley. This made him really angry. He thought, 'These old men are so shameless that they worked together to bully Holley, a weak woman.'

The office was gloomy when Black arrived Tarsan Corporation. Holley's sad and anxious face welcomed him as soon as he entered her office.

In fact, Black did not believe the so-called rumors at all. Holley was too beautiful and perfect in his eyes, and she couldn't be tainted. How could such a perfect lady do such a dirty deed for the sake of interests?

Someone must have designed a false accusation to Holley! He was almost sure of it.

"Holley, are you all right?" Black asked, his worried eyes set upon her. He noticed how Holley's haggard face, after she fell sick these last two days, became paler now.

"I don't know," she uttered. Holley's eyes looked confused, like a lost child, which made Black feel very distressed.

"I haven't done any of those things at all. I don't understand why people suddenly start accusing me. Whatever I have accomplished today, I've put much effort to get to where I am. But now they force me to step down and leave the company." Holley could no longer force herself to laugh and pretend that she did not care. Her strong camouflage no longer existed at this moment. She felt her heart grow heavy as tears flew down silently.

The sight of a lady in tears was enough to have Black extremely anxious. He felt very protective of her. He wiped Holley's tears away with his warm finger pulp and gently printed a kiss on her eyelids, quietly smoothing her wounds.

"Don't cry, Holley. Wait for me. I won't let you suffer in vain. As long as the company belongs to you, I will help you to keep it. So just hold on," Black said firmly as he held Holley in his arms, gently striking her hair.

Black made up his mind. He would do what he could to help her.

Hearing his assurance, Holley knew that he would find ways to help her solve her current predicament. Maybe he would ask his father, Rex, directly to help her. She felt a little relieved. After all, Black was always so considerate and kind to her. He almost satisfied all her demands.

Rex was writing calligraphy, but with his son bursting in unexpectedly, his pen stagnated, leaving a dark ink dot.

Rex didn't seem to care much about the ink dot. He just put down his brush and looked at his surprise visitor. "Why are you free to go home today? I thought you had already forgotten this home as you were too busy with those things in the company."

Black grinned and leaned on his father. "How could that be? I'm home now, right? I especially come home to accompany you, Dad," he stressed out.

Black always saw his father as a teacher or a friend. Rex had only one child. He had taught him how to run the business at a very young age and then handed over all his industries to him when the right time came. Therefore, their relationship was always good and peaceful.

"You're just talking nonsense. I'm your father. Do you think I don't know you? Come on, tell me. What do you want from your old man this time?" Seeing his son's abnormal appearance today, Rex knew Black must have something to ask from him.

"Dad, you really are smart," he complimented him with a smile. "I actually have one thing to ask from you today." Black felt a little embarrassed when his father knew his real intention at a glance.

"Okay, spill it. Then I'll think about it." Rex really loved his only son. He always made sure to meet his requirements as long as they were not excessive.

Black took his chance. "Dad, I heard that you bought thirty-five percent shares of Tarsan Corporation before, which now makes you one of its major shareholders. Have you heard about the rumors in Tarsan Corporation these days? Holley, their general manager, has been slandered with ulterior motive. And now she is being forced to give up her position by the other shareholders." Black explained everything to Rex.
