Chapter 634
Joseph found himself rooted to the spot, his mind a blank canvas. He had no memory of the events being discussed. Given the whirlwind of recent happenings, it was not surprising that certain details had slipped through the cracks of his memory.Megan, on the other hand, was seething internally. She had not anticipated Cassie to have such influential connections. Her initial plan had been to obliterate Cassie entirely, but the unexpected association with the large construction companies had thrown a wrench in her plans.A glint of cunning flashed in Megan's eyes as she feigned concern. "But surely, a mere senior relationship wouldn't compel him to stand against Joseph. After all, isn't he afraid of going up against Joseph?"Joseph's handsome features contorted at her words. Would a senior really risk a confrontation with him for Cassie's sake? Could it be possible that Cassie had sold herself for this?
The mere thought of Cassie being intimate with another man ignited a fury within him, a primal urge to overturn the table.Nathaniel was left dumbstruck. Megan's knack for sowing discord was unparalleled. He regretted having opened his mouth in the first place.A sudden thought struck Joseph. "By the way, find out who was behind the low-priced acquisition of Peace Group shares this time," he commanded, looking up at Nathaniel."Okay," Nathaniel nodded in agreement. It was a simple task; a quick phone call to the relevant department would suffice. He returned to the restaurant after a while, his mood a complex mix of emotions. "The person behind the acquisition is Cassie and Carter Harrison."Megan's eyes widened in realization. "So, Cassie had it all planned out. She deliberately stirred the shareholders of Peace Group into a frenzy, only to buy back the shares at a discounted price. Now, Peace Group belongs to her and Carter Harrison, who is under her control."Nathaniel confirmed, "That's correct. The market estimate suggests that Peace Group's stock price will be frozen for at least eight days, which means that the market value of Peace Group will skyrocket to 130 billion dollars after this."With a swift motion, Joseph flung his spoon onto the plate, the sharp clatter echoing around the room. He rose abruptly, knocking over the chair in front of him. A chilling frost seemed to envelop his face, making him resemble a demonic figure emerging from the shadows.He had severely underestimated Cassie. His initial plan had been to annihilate her completely. But she had outsmarted him, losing billions of dollars on the surface while discreetly acquiring the shares of the unruly shareholders behind the scenes.
Cassie had effectively dealt with the dissenters in the company, becoming the sole authority figure and boosting the company's market value by several hundred billion dollars.Megan was seething with rage, her teeth grinding together. She had thought she could easily dispose of Cassie, just like she had done three years ago. But now, she knew better than to underestimate her.The following morning at ten o'clock, the Chairman of Peace Group was already fuming at the door. Edward, in his rage, smashed a vase and bellowed, " Cassie, you've played us all. You've partnered with Hazle and Mason behind our backs. We sold our shares at low prices out of fear, only for you to snatch them up cheaply. How could your mother birth such a deceitful daughter?"The shares must be returned, or this matter won't be put to rest," the other directors chimed in, their fists pounding on the table in anger.
