Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272

Controlling the stock market would make Saunders Group's stock prices look as if they were rising steadily.

It would then attract a large group of shareholders to purchase the company's shares. Once the capital chain had ruptured, the stock market would implode.

Countless people would lose all their possessions once Saunders Group announced its bankruptcy.

Has Ms. Saunders gone mad? Mr. Victor was sentenced to imprisonment because he tried to control the stock market. Is she trying to walk the same path he took?

“No way! I can't just watch you violate the law. Ms. Saunders, let's just announce bankruptcy if the company can't hold on anymore. Don't control the stock market and sell the stocks for cash, all right? You'll end up going to jail!”

A bitter smile appeared on Victoria's face. That's the whole point. I want to go to jail. Since that man wants to get revenge, then I'll let him get his revenge properly. All of his suffering over the past few years will be accounted for once I'm sent to jail. I don't have the right to beg him to forgive the Saunders family. All I can do is satisfy his wishes—let Saunders Group go bankrupt and go to jail on behalf of my father.

“Lucy, I have my reasons for doing this, but I'm afraid I can't tell you about it. Whether you understand my intentions or not, please do what I've told you today. You're free to talk to the board if you want to expose me. I'll just blame it on myself for trusting you.”

With reddened eyes, Lucy hugged Victoria and cried, “Ms. Saunders, you're doing this because of Mr. Gezmond, aren't you? Why are you so foolish? Why would you send yourself to jail because of a grudge from the past?”

Victoria lay her head on Lucy's shoulder and said calmly, “You won't understand. You'll never experience the misery of watching the man you love standing before you with his wife. It hurts so bad. I'm in urgent need to vent it out, and I need to end this ill-fated relationship. When everything's over, I'll need you to help me return all the money I've transferred out to the shareholders. Don't let them face any losses. I-I just want to use them to help me get into jail.”

“Ms. Saunders, you—”

“That's enough. I've already made up my mind, so you can stop trying to persuade me otherwise. Please help me to clean up the mess once I'm in jail. I'm counting on you.”

In the meantime, Lionel was leaning against the window of the CEO's office in Fashionista. He was silently studying the southeast of the bustling city.

Standing among the sea of skyscrapers was a building that belonged to Saunders Group.

Right then, the office door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed in a suit entered.

“Mr. Gezmond, Saunders Group's stock price has plunged terribly. The executives are panicking, investors are withdrawing their investments, and collaborators are canceling their agreements. We've brought Saunders Group to its lowest. Yet, Ms. Saunders hasn't taken any action against this. I'm afraid Saunders Group will be announcing its bankruptcy soon if this continues.”

“Really? Then, let it be so. Tell the relevant departments to make preparations to purchase the company.” Lionel's voice echoed in the large office. It was cold and emotionless.

“Understood.” The middle-aged man turned around to leave the office.

He had only taken two steps when Lionel called out again, “Hold on. Have you done as I told you and collected the evidence of Vincent doing illegal transactions for the past few years?”

The middle-aged man shuddered. He turned around slowly and uttered with difficulty, “Mr. Gezmond, Mr. Victor has been sentenced to jail, and Saunders Group is going bankrupt soon. Isn't that enough? Vincent is old and terribly ill. He'll definitely die once he's sent to jail. You—”

Before the middle-aged man could finish, Lionel threw the former a chilling stare. “What's wrong? Are you feeling sorry for them?”

“N-No,” the middle-aged man answered. He quickly nodded and went on respectfully, “I've collected sufficient evidence to have Vincent imprisoned for life. I'll arrange them now and hand them to you.”

“Go on. No one in the Saunders family, apart from Victoria, will be getting a happy ending.”

The middle-aged man was speechless.

The news about Zoey asking the person in charge of Dyke Pharmaceutical to tamper with the new drug had caused quite a stir.
