Chapter 314 Earlier Leak
The Price couple were Jackson's godparents. The Price Family was different from the other wealthy families in Miracalia. The family's size had significantly decreased.
The Price couple were deeply in love. They only had one child, Henry, and he inherited the Price Group early on.
Dominic had been out of the business world for many years. Henry was the backbone of the Price Group and also Jackson's good friend.
Jackson and Henry's relationship was even better than that of his cousins from the Frane Family.
"Are these news reports fake? I saw a financial news report a couple of days ago about Star Tech under the the Price Group going public, and Henry personally attended the ceremony," Lillian was so surprised that she couldn't help but asked.
However, her voice gradually lowered because she remembered that when she saw the news, Henry was dressed very warmly in the photos and wore a large mask.
At that time, she was puzzled for a moment, wondering why Henry would cover his face at such an important and formal business occasion.
She thought maybe Henry had a cold and didn't want to infect others. He was always gentle, kind, and considerate.
But now, Lillian realized it could be that the figure at that time was not Henry.
Lillian looked up at Jackson in shock. Jackson's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was an unmistakable pain in his eyes.
Lillian's heart sank as she asked, "Could these news reports be true? Was the person at the ceremony a stand-in?"
Jackson looked at Lillian, nodded, and said, "Star Tech has been the most important investment project for the Price Group in the past five years and is the foundation for the future of the Price Group. It was founded and developed by Henry. Henry's death at this time would have a huge impact on the company. Dominic had no choice but to take this desperate measure."
Lillian was stunned and remarked, "Hiding the death of the actual controller could constitute economic crime!"
With his lips pressed he stated, "The Price Family needs to get through the current crisis first. Hiding the death of the actual controller itself is not illegal. It only constitutes a crime if it involves obtaining a large amount of illegal profits and causing significant economic losses. It depends on how things are handled afterward. It's just that the news of Henry's death was leaked earlier than expected."
Lillian felt sad thinking about the Price Family's situation.
Henry's death was indeed a devastating blow to the Price Group.
Harry added, "Mrs. Price is not doing well after seeing this news. The doctors are currently trying to save her."
Jackson's face hardened slightly, and he immediately got out of bed.
Lillian stepped forward to support him, worried about his injuries, and asked softly, "Can I go with you?"
When Lillian asked this, she felt a bit uneasy. Jackson used to not let her get too involved in his affairs.
"Let's go," Jackson replied without hesitation.
Lillian smiled slightly. She was his wife. At this moment, she wanted to be by his side instead of always being protected like a child.
When they arrived at Susan's ward, the doctors had already finished their treatment and left.
Susan lay pale and frail on the hospital bed, her eyes looking cloudy, and tears were silently streaming down her face.
Seeing this scene, Lillian felt quite uncomfortable.
Jackson carefully held Susan's hand, "Aunt Susan, I will handle this. I won't let Henry be cursed forever. With Uncle Dominic and me here, the Price Group will stabilize. Once the Price Group gets through this crisis and the stock price rises, the public will naturally bring peace to Henry."
A bit of vitality appeared on Susan's pale face when she heard it.
Dominic also stepped forward, gently smoothing Susan's hair, and comforted her. "Listen to what Jackson said. With me here, I won't let our son suffer endlessly. Even if you don't trust my ability, you should trust Jackson, right?"
Lillian watched this scene, visibly moved.
Susan and Dominic were known as a loving couple in high society.
Over the years, Susan had been blind and in poor health, and Dominic had never left her side, which was enviable.
Henry's death was heartbreaking.
Lillian stepped forward and said, "Aunt Susan, you need to take care of your health so that Henry can feel at peace in heaven."
Susan looked in Lillian's direction.
She held Jackson's hand and asked, "Who is it?"
Jackson took Lillian's hand and brought her closer, replying, "It's Lillian."
