The heart-warming scene in the ward melted Lucian's heart.
“Lucian, do you really not want to go in?” Jonathan asked when he saw the change in Lucian's expression.
Lucian's face darkened again. “No. I'll do so after I crush Jack.”
Only after Jack had paid the price for his actions would Lucian have the peace of mind to stay by Roxanne's side.
If he were to go in now, he expected himself to go soft again because of Roxanne.
Knowing Lucian's thoughts, Jonathan stop persuading him and glanced at his phone instead. “The plan has been set in motion.”
Lucian looked as if he was unsatisfied with the current plan. He fell into deep thought and said coldly, “Next, Farwell Group and Queen Group will attack Damaris Group's stock overseas. On top of that, expose Damaris Group to the organizations overseas so that they, too, can join us in bringing down Damaris Group's share price.”
Jonathan nodded in acknowledgment and gave the orders immediately.
At one in the morning, an uproar broke out on the internet.
One headline read: Breaking news! Century-old Damaris Group inflated profits, cheating shareholders!
Another read: Damaris Group is overvalued. Prospects are grim!
All sorts of negative headlines flooded the news.
Moreover, there were even parties who began unleashing personal attacks on the employees of Damaris Group.
“Damaris Group is a hypocritical company. Their annual medical consultation is nothing but a PR stunt, as they increase their drug prices every year!”
“Despite being a self-style century-old traditional medicine family, they don't have any ethics at all. At the end of the day, they're just a greedy profit-driven family!”
Damaris Group's retail shareholders engaged in heated discussions with each other, unable to sleep after looking at the share price.
Within an hour, Damaris Group's stock price fell off a cliff, dropping by sixty-five percent due to the attacks by various factions, and it was still dropping.
Many of the panicking shareholders tried desperately to sell but simply froze like a deer in the headlights. In fact, some even suffered a heart attack from the shock.
