Taylor called Emily as soon as she got the news. Part of Emily's memory had not recovered yet, and
with regard to her depression, Taylor was really afraid that she would have a relapse.
"How about I bring Amy there to keep you company? Louis is also very worried about you."
Although Emily had not seen Taylor for a long period of time, she had a general understanding of
Taylor's relationship with Louis. It was impossible for Taylor and Louis to come to her house at this
time, and whoever kept her company would be useless if she could not see Jacob.
"Are you together now?" Emily asked in a hoarse voice.
"Don't worry, Emily. I will bring Jacob there tomorrow." Louis took the phone from Taylor and comforted
Emily when he heard Emily's question.
He had been in business for so many years that he had developed some connections. It was not
difficult for him to make such a promise to Emily.
Emily was fully aware of Louis's connections and capabilities, so after hearing his promise, she did feel
much more relieved.
Nothing and no one could comfort her now except seeing Jacob safe and sound with her own eyes.
Emily was not able to sleep all through the night. Since getting up early in the morning, she had been
waiting for Louis and Jacob in the living room. Whenever she heard a noise at the door, she would
stand up and walk to the door to check if they were back. But every time, she just returned to the sofa
and sat down disappointed.
"Emily, I'm back."
It was almost noon, but Emily was still waiting for Jacob to return despite the repeated
disappointments. Upon hearing Jacob's voice, she actually thought she was having an auditory
hallucination.
"Emily, look who's back!"
"I'm so sorry if I worried you, Emily."
Suddenly, two voices rang from the door and attracted Emily's attention. Then, she quickly stood up
and rushed to Jacob, not caring about her slippers sliding off her feet as she ran.
"You are finally back." Emily held onto Jacob tightly and did not let him go. Jacob tried to free himself
for almost a minute, but it did not work.
He looked at Emily and kissed her head affectionately. Then, he nodded to Louis.
Louis was very satisfied with Jacob's love for his sister.
"In the past, under your regime, the directors of HT Group were more obedient. But considering your
current situation, you may have to rearrange the company's affairs as soon as possible."
Although Louis had a wide range of personal connections, he could only bail Jacob out for a limited
number of times. Before the truth was found out, Jacob still needed to cooperate with the investigation.
He could not take care of everything in the company for the next few days.
Jacob was not worried about this at all. Although David, who was his close friend, had left his company
to live a fun life, he was always willing to help Jacob when needed. But when he thought of the other
directors...
Suddenly, a beep broke the silence in the living room. Jacob looked down at the message on his phone
and winked at Louis.
"It seems that the directors are really restless." Then, he sent a message to Sam and called another
person.
Sam was relieved to finally receive Jacob's message. He adjusted his expression in front of the mirror
to make sure that he looked frightening enough.
Now that his boss could not attend to the company, the next major task was left to him.
In the meeting room, several directors were sitting together and had already begun to discuss among
themselves. They had no intention of waiting for Sam at all.
If Jacob were present, they might show some respect for Sam for his sake. But now, Jacob couldn't
even protect himself, let alone Sam.
"Although Jacob is not here, our company can't collapse. In my opinion, we should vote to decide
who's going to temporarily manage the company."
"Shouldn't a capable person be selected to manage the company?"
When Sam walked into the meeting room, no one paid attention to him. Only after he knocked on the
table did he attract the attention of all the directors.
"The boss is just unavailable to manage the company for the time being. I believe that the truth will be
found out soon. You don't have to be in such a hurry."
After all, Sam had been working for Jacob for several years. Although he was not as assertive as
Jacob, he could imitate him and stall for some time.
"As you said, Jacob is unavailable to the company for the time being. Who will manage our company
for the next few days? Or shall we just leave HT Group without a leader and without a direction?"
"Because of Jacob's management mistakes, we have lost a lot of money. How can we let the company
continue suffering losses without doing anything?"
"So many companies are now coveting HT Group. They all want to take advantage of our weakness
and take us down. Should we just let them?"
The directors began squabbling among themselves.
Sam did not join in their discussion. He just stood aside and watched them quietly. Only when the
directors were about to reach an agreement did he suddenly interrupt, making the atmosphere in the
meeting room tense up again.
He was just trying to buy some time anyway. What the directors were doing now could help him
achieve his goal.
Just when a director strongly demanded to exercise the management right according to the number of
shares he held at HT Group, the door of the meeting room suddenly swung open.
Several directors were about to lose their temper, but they were stunned when they saw the person
who had just come in. Sam was completely relieved. His task was finally completed.
"Well, I haven't come to visit here for a long time. I can't exactly blame all of you if you don't remember
me." David looked at everyone in the meeting room with a smile.
He walked to the middle of the meeting room, took a seat, and stretched out his arms. "I overheard one
of you as I came in. I think what he said makes sense. The management of the company's daily affairs
should be decided by the director who holds the most company shares."
Sam silently walked to stand behind David. The smile on David's face slowly disappeared and was
replaced by a serious expression. "Without Jacob here, I hold the most company shares among all of
us. From now on, I will be in charge of the company. Any objections?"
The directors looked at each other in total silence.
The shares in their hands were not enough to compete with Jacob's and David's. Now that David said
he wanted to manage the company, how could they dare to object?
In the CEO's office of HT Group, David anxiously looked at the quality inspection document in front of
him. It was clearly written on the document that the poisoning incident had been caused by the poor
food quality of HT Group's products.
He had never expected such a situation.
David and Jacob had founded HT Group together. They had expected that they would encounter
countless difficulties, but they had not expected that they would have to deal with a traitor.
"Sam, has the truth been found out?" David asked.
