Chapter 41: The Board Meeting

Author: Archaengela
last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
After discussing the plan for fifteen minutes, the lawyer left the cafe. They made an appointment to meet again there in two hours. Samuel contacted a few stock brokers and asked them to buy the Jewelry Palace stock. He wanted to decrease the price in just a few hours.

So, when the scheme began, they started buying the stock, and the price increased quickly. It attracted more people to buy, so the price rose even higher. However, as Samuel ordered to do a major sale fifteen minutes later, the price plummeted, and there was a panic selling in the market.

It was all over the news, and as a result, the price dropped even faster. The board of commissioners had an urgent meeting right away. Tom Brooke was the most sought person for the meeting as they wanted to ask him how the price could drop.

Tom locked himself in the working room while his assistant knocked on the door. “Sir, you must attend the meeting soon.”

“Go away! I need time to think!” Tom said.

“But sir, the commissioners

    After telling Kelly she wanted to resign, Amy said goodbye to all. She didn’t tell Kelly anything about her marriage, and Kelly accepted her resignation well. Amy bought a newspaper from a stand nearby the cafe and checked the news. She was lucky that the reporters didn’t have her close-up photo. The only photo they posted was the intimate kissing photo that didn’t show her face. Miguel drove her to the hospital. The nurse who worked in the afternoon shift smiled at her. “Ms. Brooke, how are you? Oops, sorry, it’s Mrs. Hoffner now, right? Congratulations!” Amy blushed and smiled to hear what the nurse said. “Yes, I’m Mrs. Hoffner now. How is Jillian?” “The condition is still the same.” Amy closed her eyes as she didn’t want to shed tears before the nurse. After taking a deep breath a few times, she finally opened her eyes again and asked, “What did the doctor say?” “Doctor Benjamin said nothing is wrong with Miss Jillian’s brain or nerves. It’s still a mystery why she hasn’t be

    Samuel and the former chairman board assigned the vice CEO as the temporary CEO. The temporary CEO would assist Amy later to do the work. Amy was still too shocked because of knowing her uncle was the one who was responsible for her parents’ deaths. That’s why Samuel didn’t tell her about the future plan: to return Jewelry Palace to her and place Amy as the new CEO. But all the staff knew about it, and they supported the plan because regardless of her young age, Amy was the legitimate heir of Peter and Melanie. She had any right to continue her parents’ legacy. After dealing with Tom Brooke and returning the company to Amy (though she didn’t know about it yet), Samuel started thinking of a plan to destroy Jacob and Gwen. But before that, he remembered something. So, he called someone. It was 8 p.m. when Amy woke up. Samuel let her get rest and didn’t disturb her. After having dinner with Samuel, she checked her phone. There were ten missed calls from Caroline. So, Amy immediately ca

    The informant Samuel hired immediately reported what he heard to him. Samuel clenched his hand and muttered, “The woman invites a doom herself. Fine! I will give her what she wants!” He told the informant, “Spread the news in the college that Amy is the wife of a billionaire, but don’t spread my name. You can tell some general information. I want to see if this evil woman can still lift her head.” “Yes, sir!” The informant did what Samuel said. Soon, many people approached Gwen, as they wanted to get a hundred grand from her. Gwen frowned and shook her head. “Who is the billionaire’s name? I need clear information.” “It is said that the billionaire was one of the most eligible bachelors before marrying her. I also heard that the billionaire cares for her until he also takes care of her sister’s health care.” More frowns were on Gwen’s forehead. She knew about Jillian who was still in the hospital. So, the information might be true. But no one knew who the billionaire was. Gwen k

    Instead of helping, Tanya, Jacob’s mother, scolded Gwen’s father. She even said, “My son has ended his relationship with your daughter. Please don’t disturb me again!” Then she ended the call. Gwen’s father was too shocked to say anything. He put the phone on the table. His wife stared at him and impatiently asked, “What did Jacob’s parents say?” “It’s his mother who picked up my call. She said Jacob has already ended their relationship with Gwen.” “What?! But they will get married in a few months. How can he end the relationship so easily?” Gwen’s father said nothing. Since his wife kept complaining, finally he snapped. “Stop it! It’s your fault! You didn’t teach Gwen well. Now she is humiliating our family. She can’t even keep her fiance!” “Don’t talk to me like that! You, as her father, what did you do to teach her too? Huh? Why did you only blame me?” Gwen’s father rushed to leave his wife, but Gwen’s mother held his arm. He pulled his arm, but his strength to pull his a

    Amy stared at Samuel and asked, “Who are the ones you considered as my enemies?” Samuel shrugged. “Well, for sure, your uncle. He has been taken care of. Then, Gwen Johnson, you don’t need to think about her either. I have given her a lesson. But then, I’m surprised to see karma works even better than my plan.” “What did you do?” “Well, it’s enough to say that I wanted to give her a lesson, so she wouldn’t make trouble with you anymore. The last thing I heard is she wanted to ruin your name.” “What?!” Amy gasped. “But I have done nothing bad to her. Even after catching her with Jacob, I didn’t take revenge on her.” He let out a sigh and hugged Amy. Caressing her hair, he said, “You are too kind, darling. That’s why people can take advantage and trample on you.” “I believe everything will have a consequence, whether it is good or bad. I believe when we do good, then goodness will return to us. However, if we do bad things, we will pay for it too.” Samuel said nothing. He carrie

    The informants and guards whom Samuel hired could see what happened. They scratched their hair and shrugged as they suspected the worst. “Our boss won’t like this,” one informant said. “Hey, but there may be a good explanation for this. Mrs. Hoffner doesn’t seem like a foolish woman to me. You must see when she looked at our boss. I think she loves him. So, I’m sure there is a good explanation for this.” The first man rubbed his jaw. “It’s true. Also, I can see how much our boss loves his wife. I was shocked at first to know he was married. But then, after seeing her, I can see how suitable both of them are together.” “Hmm? How?” “Well, you know, our boss is wealthy and powerful. He is handsome too. Then our madam is young and quite pretty. She is nice and kind. I wonder if her appearance or character that attracted our boss.” “Maybe both?” another guard said. The first one shrugged. “Maybe. But I may ask her driver first. Who knows if he knows more information?” “Good idea!”

    Tanya locked her working room. She took all photos and spread them on her table. It was obvious Jacob had sex with the woman in the photo. From the date, it was before the fall of Gwen’s father from his position. How could her son dare to do such a thing? She inspected the woman’s picture. After a while, Tanya frowned and shook her head, but then she let out a sigh and sent a text message to Jacob. ‘Come to the modiste now!’ Jacob wondered why his mother wanted him to come there. He knew it was a peak season, so Tanya must be quite busy. But as she asked him to come, Jacob finally went there. When he went inside, some models grinned at him. One even touched his upper arm and whispered, “Hi Jacob, if you need someone to accompany you to a gala dinner or fashion show, let me know. I can help.” The model even winked and touched her chest to his arm. He scratched his head because he had never experienced it before. The models there usually were polite to him. But now it was differen

    Jacob called Amy, but she ignored it. After three times, he finally sent a text message. ‘Amy, I need your help badly. Can we talk? I promise I won’t take your time for a long time.’ Amy read the message, but she was torn between whether to reply or ignore it too. After thinking for a while, she decided to not reply to the message. However, Jacob sent another text message. ‘My family is in big trouble. It’s about life and death situations. Can you lend me money?’ She finally called him. “What happened?” “Oh, thank goodness! It’s my father. He is caught by someone. The one who caught him demanded so much money. If we don’t send it to them, my father will be killed.” Amy gasped. “Oh, no! How much do they ask?” “Twenty billion ….” “What?! How can they ask so much money?” “My father has a debt, a gambling debt. They sent my mother a piece of my father’s little finger.” Jacob’s voice trembled. “If you have it, can I borrow the money? I know it may take a lifetime to pay for it, bu

    Amy and Samuel spent most of their honeymoon enjoying Paris on the days and afternoons. They visited the Eiffel Tower again, but this time Samuel wore a medical mask to cover his identity since in the first honeymoon the reporters spotted him and ruined their honeymoon. Afterward, they visited the Louvre Museum. Enjoying so many great pieces of arts from paintings and statues, they also went to the Tuileries Garden and to the city cruise through the Seine River. They shopped for clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry for Amy, but also for Vivian, Jillian, and Caroline. Amy insisted Samuel buy some clothes and shoes too. She also bought an elegant watch for his husband. After ensuring Samuel wouldn’t be jealous, Amy bought Reese a watch and some coffee beans. They enjoyed lunch and dinner in the best restaurants in Paris. But when they didn’t want to go to the restaurants, they bought meals to eat in some gardens or in some parts of the city. After spending days and afternoons venturi

    The stewardesses smiled at Samuel and Amy. “Congratulations on your wedding!” “Thank you,” Samuel and Amy said. A stewardess carried a tray and offered Samuel and Amy champagne. Then she left the couple. They toasted and sipped the champagne. Samuel stared at his wife and grinned. “What?” Amy asked. She touched her face, wondering if there was a stain on her face. “Nothing. I only imagine what we will do there.” He bent forward and captured her lips with a lingering kiss. “I can’t wait to make love with you again, my sweet.” Blushing, she caressed his shoulder and whispered, “Me neither. I miss you a lot.” “Don’t worry. We can spend days and nights enjoying ourselves. How about a week of honeymoon?” Amy shook her head. “I can’t! I must go to work.” “No worries. I have already asked permission from the personnel manager for you.” “Really?” Amy raised her eyebrow. “But then, Shane and Jillian?” “They have my grandma, Tonny, and the nurses too.” He looked her in the eye and s

    “I wonder if we can have a date tomorrow. You can bring Shane too. We can go to the town and relax there.” Amy gulped because she must reject Reese’s invitation, but she was also nervous to tell him about her plan. “I’m sorry, but I can’t ….” “Oh, you’re busy? It’s okay. We can go next week.” “Reese …. I … I’ve been thinking about Samuel. I …” Amy couldn’t continue her words. “Amy, I know you love him. It’s okay if you want to return to him.” She held her breath. “You know? I’m so sorry ….” Reese said nothing for a while until Amy called him. “Reese? Are you still there?” “Yes. I know you will return to him, but I was thinking I might have a chance with you. But I’m happy for you. Samuel truly loves you. I’m sure Shane will be happy if you two are back together.” Biting her lower lip, Amy let out a heavy sigh. “Thank you for everything, Reese. You are a good friend.” “I’m glad I can spend time with you. I hope we can still be friends.” “Of course!” “Please send my congratul

    Samuel and Amy finally returned to the car. Miguel grinned at them, as he saw how they walked hand in hand as if they were a new-married couple. “Where to go, boss?” “To the airport.” Samuel said, still holding Amy’s hand. Amy raised her eyebrow. “Airport? Are we going abroad?” “Yes.” Then he called Vivian with a video call. “Grandma? Did Shane look for Amy or me?” “No, he is eating his lunch. Do you want to talk to him?” “Sure!” Then Vivian called Shane. “Your father wanted to talk to you, sweetheart.” “Yes, Granny!” The little boy ran and stood before the phone. “Hi, Daddy.” “Shane, if Daddy and Mommy go for three days, is it okay? You will stay with Granny.” Shane glanced at Vivian. “Granny, can I stay here? Three days?” “Sure, sweetheart. You can stay a whole year if you want. I will be happy if you are here.” “Granny said yes. Okay, Daddy, you can go for three days.” Then he giggled to hear what Vivian said.. “What?” Samuel raised his eyebrow. “Granny said Daddy wa

    Doctor Benjamin checked Jillian’s condition. After checking her pupils, tongue, and heartbeat, he smiled. “All vital status is good.” Amy sobbed and held hands with Samuel. He hugged her shoulders and waited for the doctor to finish to examine Jillian. The doctor checked Jillian’s feet and arms too. “Everything’s good. Welcome back, Miss Jillian.” The doctor smiled at Jillian. “Is Jillian alright, Doctor?” Amy held her breath. “Yes, Ms. Brooke. Miss Jillian will need to have physical therapy, for sure, to have a complete recovery. But other than that, she is healthy.” “Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much!” Amy shook the doctor’s hand while weeping. “Amy? Is that you?” “Yes, it’s me, little sister.” Amy held Jillian’s hand and kissed it. “I’m so happy to see you wake up.” Jillian sighed. “I’m thirsty.” Then she added, “and hungry too.” Amy glanced at Doctor Benjamin. “Can she drink water and eat anything she wants?” “Water is okay.

    The next day, Samuel picked up Amy and Shane. They sent Shane to Vivian’s house before going to a date. Shane jumped around in the living room and hugged Vivian when she showed up. “I just saw you yesterday, but I wonder if you are getting taller.” Vivian rubbed Shane’s head. Shane reached out his hands, and Vivian bent her body. He kissed Vivian’s cheeks and whispered, “I’m a big boy, Granny! Yes, I’m taller every day.” Vivian laughed when she heard the little boy’s comment. The proud parents stared at each other and shared smiles. “Why are you still here?” Vivian frowned. “Go! Have fun! No worries with your son. I’ll look after him. Besides, he’s a big boy already. Right, Shane?” “Yes!” Shane shouted. He ran to Samuel and Amy, kissing their cheeks. “Bye, Daddy. Bye, Mommy!” Tony approached them too and bowed his head to Samuel and Amy. “I’ll ask the maids to look after the young master too.” Samuel grinned and patted Amy’s hand. “Let’s go, then. It seems everyone wants us to

    “I have never meant to torture you. It’s ridiculous to think that.” Amy scooted to move farther from Samuel. However, Samuel moved too and pulled her body, placing her to sit on his lap. He cupped her face with both hands and looked into her eyes. “Then let’s remarry in three days.” “Samuel ….” He kissed her lips until she let out a sigh. “I won’t take a no.” “But—” Samuel kissed Amy’s lips again. This time, he used his tongue and sparked her passion while probing his tongue into her mouth, teasing her until she moaned and touched his chest. Then he caressed her bosom until her head tilted backward. When he bent his head to kiss her cleavage, Amy shook her head. Realizing Samuel didn’t see it, Amy cleared her throat and said, “It’s time for us to return to Grandma’s house. Shane may seek for me.” Reluctantly, Samuel lifted his head and placed Amy to sit next to him. He took a deep breath to calm his passion, and then he smiled. “You have changed.” “Well, it’s been five year

    They didn’t talk, but only stared at each other, and Samuel kissed her lips again. Amy hugged his waist and clung as if her life depended on it. Since they must stop for taking a breath, Samuel touched his forehead to hers. “Thank you for loving me so much until you took a difficult way.” Amy sobbed and nodded, but she couldn’t utter any words. He kissed her lips again, and she kissed him back. Then, after a while, Samuel brought her to the bed and lay next to her. They stared at each other. “I asked the detective to investigate the last threat message. Somehow, I found it related to Cecilia.” “Cecilia?” Amy widened her eyes. “Cecilia Smith, your ex-girlfriend?” “Nope, she has never been my girlfriend. We only dated a few times.” Shaking her head, Amy touched Samuel’s face. “She sent me the pictures of both of you in your hotel. I thought you had an affair with her.” “What?! I have never brought her to my hotel.” Amy smiled and nodded. “Yes, your grandma told me that.” “Gran

    The manager at the Cold and Sweet bowed to see Samuel enter the place. His eyes widened to see Shane who held his arms around Samuel’s neck and Amy who walked beside Samuel. Since the manager read the news, he knew Samuel had a divorce five years ago. But then he asked a server to come to the table and serve the billionaire. After asking their choice of ice creams, the server took a few minutes before returning with three bowls of ice cream. Samuel spoon-fed the ice cream to Shane. Then Shane suddenly did the same to his father. Amy who saw it could only smile with tears in her eyes. Some of the ice cream restaurant’s guesses saw Samuel sitting with a little boy and a woman. Only with a glance, they could see that the little boy was his son. Shane also spoon-fed Amy with his ice cream. Suddenly, the little one said, “Daddy, give ice cream to Mommy!” Samuel raised his eyebrow. “Oh, you want Mommy to try my ice cream?” Shane nodded and grinned. “Yes!” Then he smiled at Amy too. “Y
