The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 843

Chapter 843 Refuse To Acquire Them

Meanwhile, at the Damaris residence, Jack was leaving the study after his conversation with Hector. On his way back to his room, the butler suddenly approached him with his phone. “Mr. Damaris, a call for you.”

Half an hour earlier, Jack’s phone had been ringing off the hook. However, the butler dared not answer the phone on his behalf while Jack was still discussing matters with his grandfather in the study. He ended up waiting at the stairwell until Jack left the study.

Jack acknowledged the butler’s message with a nod and furrowed his brows slightly when he saw the caller ID. It was a call from Dean Lacroix, the CEO of Herbscape Group.

Why is he calling me at such a late hour? The butler explained helpfully, “He’s been calling you non-stop for half an hour.”

Jack’s heart sank. He answered the call with a frown. Before he could utter a word, Dean’s panicked voice drifted through the receiver.

“Mr. Damaris, thank goodness you’ve answered your phone! Herbscape Group is in trouble! Please help us! You’re the only person I can think of right now!”

If Dean had known the Damaris residence’s address, he would have knocked down their door in the middle of the night after failing to contact Jack for half an hour.

Puzzlement flitted across Jack’s gaze as he asked, “What happened?”

He had been talking to Hector in the study the whole time and was blissfully unaware of the disaster that had unfolded on the internet.

Dean was in disbelief at Jack’s complete ignorance of the matter.

Nonetheless, he did not have the luxury to explain everything to Jack.

“Someone published Herbscape Group’s past scandals on the internet, and it’s going viral. I’ve received word from both the State Taxation Administration and International Trade Administration. They’re sending men over to investigate my company!”
