"Nothing. I'm worried about you, so I come to see how you were doing," said Jared, gazing lovingly at Amber.
Amber's eyes flickered. She looked away in silence.
Jared knew she was avoiding him, feeling a bit stuffy in his chest. He pursed his thin lips and said, "It's quite personal, so you don't have to feel pressured."
Amber bit her lip. "I know, but …"
"Mr. Reed, bad news!" Before Amber finished, Sheila stormed into the office.
Amber was getting serious when she saw Sheila's nervous face, "What's wrong?"
"Makenna… she…" Sheila patted her chest to slow herself down before she blurted in one go. "Makenna wants to start a livestream to tell the public how you set her up."
"Really?" Jared's eyebrows wrinkled into a knot.
Sheila nodded. "She has made a notice on her social account. It's at eleven ten."
"Eleven ten …" Amber pulled a long face as she checked the time on the computer. It was already eleven.
There were still ten minutes before the livestream started.
"Mr. Reed, what should we do now?" Sheila looked at Amber, "Should we do something to silence it?"
"Of course not!" Amber and Jared said in the same breath.
Sheila blinked at Amber and then at Jared.
When did they become so in tune?
Amber and Jared were surprised.
After a moment, Amber quickly pulled herself back from the surprise.
But Jared snickered happily.
Did this mean that they were in sync?
"Mr. Farrell is right. We shouldn't do anything." Amber furrowed her eyebrows and said with a poker face, "Makenna wants to tell people about my scheme. What will everyone think about if I silence her now? Am I too obvious?"
"But then, Goldstone's stock market might undergo a new round of crash." Sheila's face was full of concern.
Amber rubbed her temples, "Let me think about it."
She did not expect Makenna to come back with this move after Jared put out the heat about her scandals on the Internet.
And this move caught Amber off guard.
"Delisting the stock seems to be the best option we have." At this time, Jared suddenly opened his mouth and spoke.
Amber narrowed her eyes, "Delisting?"
"Yes, Goldstone has an unsteady development, and it has recovered from the bankruptcy, so it is hard to survive in the stock market at the moment. If the state allowed companies to snipe each other in the stock market, Goldstone would have been knocked down by the Trident Group." Jared looked at Amber.
Amber pursed her lips thoughtfully.
He did point out the cruel fact.
If the state didn't enact this rule, Trenton would have attacked and crushed Goldstone. Perhaps, there wouldn't be a Goldstone at all.
But the laws granted one company to acquire broken lots from the other company in its decline.
As Amber kept quiet, Jared softened his tone, "Goldstone won't be disturbed by the stock market after the delisting. And we don't have to worry about the attackers who fabricate a scandal to cause the stock crash and acquire Goldstone's broken lots. It will never be too late to relist when Goldstone has a steady growth."
Amber changed her mind. She said, "But it takes time. Goldstone might not survive till we go through the procedures."
"It's okay. I make a call, and the company will delist today." Jared lifted his chin as he spoke.
Amber knitted her brows and wanted to refuse Jared's offer.
