My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 344

The Nightshade Estate, study room.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in."

Ethan pushed open the door and saw Samuel buried in a pile of messy documents. "Samuel, it's so late, and you're still working?"

"There seems to be trouble with the company."

"What kind of trouble?"

"It's not us; it's the Martinez Group. Rumors had it that over fifty of their shareholders have vanished mysteriously today, and even their families can't reach them. It seems that they've vanished to the same place.

"Moreover, James just found out that the 53% of the group's initially held by Matthew have been siphoned off bit by bit by his uncle under the guise of financing. Now that Matthew is in trouble, those shares are definitely not recoverable. I'm worried."

"Worried that the Martinez Group's stock will plummet and drag our company down with it?"

"We've had a very close partnership with the Martinez Group, especially this year, with Xan's tying us together in many uninitiated projects."

Samuel clenched his fists in frustration.

"Now Matthew's scandal and the internal turmoil in the Martinez Group will undoubtedly affect our company. But what worries me more is that someone might take advantage of the situation, turning the Martinez Group into a hollowed-out shell company. Such a blow would be fatal to us!"

He could already sense this mysterious and powerful force behind this, but who was it? And what was their goal?

"Alright, don't overthink it. I'll go with you to the Martinez Group tomorrow, and we'll sort this out."

"Okay."

Samuel nodded. Ethan walked over and turned off the desk lamp. "There’s been a lot going on at home and at the company these past few days. Have a good rest, and don't overwork."

"I know."

As they spoke of home matters, Samuel suddenly remembered Xan's unusual behavior at dinner earlier. But his mind was preoccupied with the Martinez Group, so he hadn’t given it much thought.

"Bro, did you notice Xan at dinner seemed a bit distracted?"

"More than just a bit. Considering what’s happened, it’s natural for her to be upset. I was actually surprised that she's been surprisingly composed. Just give her some time to process."

"Upset?"

"Yeah." Ethan frowned slightly. "Even though Matthew was a jerk, Xan genuinely loved him."

"I thought I heard her crying in the bathroom this noon. When she came out, she pretended to be indifferent and cheerful. I asked Ryan to keep an eye on her mood, but he didn't tell anything was wrong."

"What?!"

Samuel stood up in shock.

Xan had told him she wasn’t sad and even seemed happy in the morning, but then she turned around and cried alone in the bathroom!

So, she had been lying about not being sad!

"No, I have to check on her!"
