Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 541

"Yeah."

Lucius stood just outside the boardroom, glancing towards the doorway with a troubled expression, "They're in the middle of a shareholders' meeting. The whole debacle with the M398 chip has blown out of proportion. Gregory initially wanted to halt production immediately, but several major shareholders disagreed. There's probably someone pulling strings from behind at PL Group too, refusing to negotiate and pushing for a lawsuit instead. This led to our stocks plummeting eight points as soon as the market opened today. Mr. Ford and his faction are using this as an opportunity to try and oust Gregory from Ford Enterprises again."

The situation was a classic case of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

"Damn, talk about a stab in the back."

Clarence cursed, a sentiment anyone could understand. With such a headache-inducing situation, it was no wonder he missed a call from Jane.

But Clarence hadn't forgotten what was important, "Anyway, you need to barge into that meeting right now and tell him his wife's in trouble. It's an emergency."

"Jane's in trouble?!" Lucius knew all too well how much Gregory valued his wife. His expression tightened, "I'm on it. Gotta hang up now!"

Pushing open the boardroom door, the immediate shift of everyone's gaze towards him made his legs go weak for a moment.

Not because he was afraid of interrupting the meeting.

But because if anything happened to Gregory's wife, he didn't even want to think about where Gregory might send him as punishment.

Gregory sensed something was off, his aura turning frosty as he fixed his eyes on Lucius. "What happened?"

"Boss..." Lucius leaned in, whispering in his ear, "It's about your wife... something's happened..."

Before he could even finish, Gregory was already on his feet, striding towards the door!

Lucius, startled, quickly followed him.

"What's the meaning of this, Mr. Gregory ? The shareholder's meeting isn't over yet! With the company facing such a crisis, don't you think you owe us an explanation?"
