The stock of Acma Corporation had fallen for three days consecutively and was still suffering from a limit down. Its domestic stock was not the only one who took the hit as its foreign stock had also decreased by thirty points due to this incident. The company published numerous statements to save its reputation but to no avail.
The provincial investigation team decided to take Devon into question about his attempted bribery as he made his way back to Ruthorham.
The objective of the team was to find out the relationship between him and Gurmit, the authenticity of the footage, as well as whether Devon had received the large sum of bribery funds into his bank account.
Devon had made a smart move as the money went through Declan’s account instead of his.
The authority did not find anything fishy after commencing a search on the bank accounts of Devon, Raelyn, Natasya, and Talitha. The investigation team then decided to summon Gurmit for further inspection as the recording was somewhat questionable.
However, it was later found that Gurmit had ended his life by jumping off the roof from his company’s headquarters.
There was no evidence to prove that it was a homicide case, but his death had gained massive public attention.
The team immediately investigated the death of Gurmit but it was later assumed that it was a suicide case. His wife submitted a record of her husband’s treatment in the hospital and proved that he was suffering from depression. The possibility of him taking his own life was high as he was suffering from this sickness.
The case eventually came to an end despite the team was being skeptical about it. They could not take things further as there were no witnesses and no evidence to prove that it was a homicide case.
Devon was suspended from his position and the investigation had come to an end.
Abbie was accompanying Valeria to pick up her birthday gift for William when the news of Devon’s suspension was being released.
Abbie saw the news and told Valeria about it, “Valeria, Devon is suspended. Natasya and Talitha, those b*tches, as well as Raelyn have finally lost their trump card.”
Valeria immediately took a glance at the news and was feeling extremely satisfied, “My husband’s efficiency level is out of this world.”
Abbie was not aware of the incidents that broke out and was feeling confused, “Your husband is behind this?”
“Yes! Natasya, that shameless b*tch wanted my husband to publish a statement to admit their relationship as a couple. Pfft!” Valeria was feeling furious as she thought about it.
She then told Abbie everything that Natasya had done and Abbie frowned, “What a shameless woman. Is she looking for trouble? We can’t let it go just like this.”
“I have the same thought too, but I’m afraid of messing up my husband’s plan,” Valeria sighed.
“Are you just going to sit back and do nothing while she tries to seduce your husband over and over again?” Abbie then continued, “Isn’t it too over the top? How could you bear this?”
Valeria sighed. “I can’t and I really want to teach that b*tch a lesson. I actually have a plan but I’m not sure whether it would work or not.”
“Tell me what your plan is about then.”
“My husband’s birthday is coming soon, right? That shameless woman must be desperate to celebrate it with him. I want to sezie the opportunity and would like to invite her to the party.”
“Do you want to mess her up at the birthday party?”
“Yes, I want to tell the whole world that she is the shameless woman who is trying to ruin my relationship with William.”
“I think the plan is doable but I’m afraid that your husband might disagree with it. Why don’t you discuss it with your husband first?”
“He would definitely not agree on this idea,” Valeria sighed.
“How about this? You can try your luck first and I have come up with an idea to annoy Natasya for now.”
Valeria was interested in it, “Really? What’s your plan?”
“Isn’t that shameless woman thinking about seducing your husband? She must be desperate to come up with ideas and let’s arrange for someone to cause a scene like how we did last time when she was in the hospital.”
Valeria knew what exactly was on Abbie’s mind as she was aware of the incident that happened in the hospital. It was said that a women’s jealousy is the most intimidating and uncontrollable thing in the entire universe.
Valeria loved William deeply and she knew that he had no feelings towards Natasya at all. However, Valeria could not help but feel enraged when she thought about how Natasya was greatly interested in her husband.
Natasya must have had the same thought when she imagined the couple was madly in love with each other.
Alright then, Valeria thought to herself. She decided to arrange for someone to tell Natasya in an exaggerating way of how William adores Valeria so much and Natasya would definitely go bonkers about it.
Valeria and Abbie discussed and finally came to a conclusion by arranging for someone to head over to the hotel that Natasya, Talitha, and Raelyn were temporarily residing.
William had been paying attention to the news updates within these few days and Devon’s suspension had gone according to his plan.
The demise of Acma Corporation was also part of his plan. Marcus then came to report on the latest progress about Devon’s stripping of position and the situation of Acma Corporation. Marcus smiled and said, “Mr. Howard, Acma Corporation is still suffering a limit down and I reckon it would still continue to decrease by ten points before things start to get better.”
“It won’t happen.” William shook his head and continued, “Acma Corporation would go under if its stock continued to drop in such an amount. How is it possible for them to sit back and do nothing about it? They would definitely come up with a way to deal with it.”
“Inject more funds for share repurchase? Or announce more positive business decisions? These are the only ways to save themselves for now. However, it seems that they are running tight on their cash flow as they have yet to make a move to buy back their shares. On the other hand, who would be foolish enough to have a business relationship with them?”
“I don’t think so, as someone may be planning to jump on the bandwagon. See for yourself if you’re feeling doubtful about it!”
Marcus was curious about it and asked, “Who could it be? Mr. Howard, mind dropping some hints for me?”
“It would undoubtedly be the mysterious man or someone related to him. He would offer Hardy a helping hand either by himself personally or someone who has the ability to do so.”
“Really?” Marcus glanced at William and asked. William nodded confidently and said, “Yes! I’m sure about it!”
“Does it mean that we can only sit back and see how it goes for now? We could get ahold of the mysterious man’s identity as long as he starts making a move, right?” Marcus was very excited about it.
“I don’t think so, as he does not act rashly. He would not have used Hardy to get rid of me if he decided to reveal himself from the very beginning. The man is still hiding behind the mask as his time to shine has not come yet. He would definitely arrange for someone that is related to him in helping Hardy to get back on his feet and continue to mess with me. We can only guess but not come up with an exact conclusion about the man for now.”
“Really?” Marcus sighed and said, “Mr. Howard, Hardy was able to get himself out of trouble rapidly and sacrificed his company, Mexicorp, had proven that he knew Declan was alive beforehand. Have you come up with a suspect in the Floyd family then?”
“Speaking of this, I have yet to confirm this matter. Shall I now make a call to check it out?”
