No Way Back

Chapter 458

Jack’s trusted aides received news of the trending topic and were all shocked. After arriving at the company, they confirmed with Henry in a hurry whether it was true or not. Henry replied in silence.

“Oh my goodness! How could Jack do such a thing… That is impossible! That is absolutely impossible! Jack and I have been best friends since university. I know well about his temper and personality! There must be a mistake we are unaware of!”

As Jack’s trusted aides and founders of Fowler Corporation, they wouldn’t believe the news they heard. from the trending topic.

However, Jack had been arrested by the police, and from his narration, one could tell he had indeed done such a thing.

So, even if they were unwilling to believe it, they had to admit it..

“Everyone, now is not the time to argue about whether my father has been bribed or not. We have to prepare for the shareholders’ meeting tomorrow and appease the major shareholders. The Fowler Corporation is going to face long-term hardship. I have to keep it because it is my parents’ painstaking effort.

“If you believe in my parents’ character and that there’s more behind my father’s accident, please help me! Please!”

With that, Henry bowed deeply.

“Henry, you’re being too serious. We have been working hard with your parents, and we will never just stand by and watch the Fowler Corporation go bankrupt just like that. Moreover, we believe in Jack andNôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

that there must be a reason behind it. If one day, Jack cleared his name and was released from prison but found that the Fowler Corporation was gone, how could we still be his friends?”

“That’s right. Let’s start preparing the information for tomorrow’s shareholders’ meeting. I feel like I’ve returned to the days when I was young and worked hard in the company day and night. I am quite energetic!”

“Alright, don’t be too emotional. Be careful not to have high blood pressure again. You’re no longer young and about to become an old man…”

“You son of a **********!”

Henry was touched. “Thank you, everyone!”

Next, he began to organize the information.

With the help of Jack’s right-hand man, even though the situation had reached a critical state, Henry could still work methodically. For a **********, the atmosphere was somewhat relaxing.

Under such an atmosphere, he believed that a miracle would come.

Suddenly, someone clicked his tongue.

“It is strange. Why did the Fowler Corporation lose so many shares recently?

“What’s going on?”

Hearing that, Henry and the others gathered.

After they took a look at the data, their expressions turned solemn.

Indeed, too many shares had been lost.

What was more, they were bought at different times by different companies.

It was hidden and hard to notice to buy them separately.

When the shares were accumulated to a certain extent, they would become a force that could not be

Chapter 458 ignored!

Unless the buyers could predict that there would be a big problem with the Fowler Corporation…

It was useless for them to purchase so many odd-lot stocks.

Sooner or later, their actions would be found.

Henry thought for a *********and then suddenly shouted, “Terrible! The rumors about my father spread quickly. Tomorrow, the stock price of the Fowler Corporation will fall to the limit. When the time comes, these institutions will buy the shares on a large scale, and the right of control over the Fowler Corporation may be snatched away by someone else.”

Even if Henry tried his best to buy the stocks now, it would be in vain.

If Jack could not prove his innocence and save his reputation in a short period of time…

The money that was spent on buying shares would be immeasurable, and the low-price shares would only be a waste.

Moreover, the buyers would not give Henry a chance. They might sell their shares in exchange for a huge profit.

It was not a problem of several million dollars, but billions. With the current working capital of Fowler Corporation, it was impossible to pay so much money.

If Henry did not buy the shares back, the mastermind would buy them at the lowest price.

In the end, he would own the most shares in the Fowler Corporation and obtain absolute authority.

“Could it be that… the mastermind behind the acquisition of the odd-lot stocks is the culprit behind Jack’s accident?”

A vice-chairman hit the nail on the head.

Suddenly, Henry saw a familiar name on the list of companies that were acquiring the shares of the Fowler Corporation.

He pursed his lips and took out his phone, saying, “Please don’t make a sound. Listen quietly. I want to confirm one thing.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Henry dialed Micheal’s number.

Beep…

Micheal picked up the phone quickly.

“Henry, it’s so late. What’s the matter?”

Micheal’s voice didn’t sound tired from being woken up after falling asleep.

Obviously, he was still awake and seemed to be waiting for someone’s call.

“Mr. Laton, are you the mastermind behind the secret acquisition of the shares of the Fowler Corporation?”

Henry went straight to the point.

What?

The others were shocked when they heard Henry’s words.

It was actually Micheal Laton, the president of the Crown Group?

Wasn’t Micheal Jack’s good friend?

Micheal pretended to be confused. “Henry, I don’t understand what you mean.”

“Mr. Laton, I saw a familiar company on the purchasers’ list. I remember that it’s a company specializing in building materials under Crown Group. A few years ago, I even collaborated with it under my father’s recommendation. Moreover, it’s impossible to buy so many shares that can shake the

Fowler Corporation without sufficient financial resources.

“Mr. Laton, you did it secretly and planned to make the Fowler Corporation yours, right? Since you will soon come to Fowler Corporation to attend the shareholders’ meeting, there is no need to pretend to be confused.”

“Henry, you’re indeed smart. No wonder Jack thinks so highly of you. I also admire you.”

Micheal’s words were equivalent to a tacit agreement.

“Mr. Laton, I know that there’s no friendship but only benefits in business. I just want to ask you one thing. Is there something else about my father accepting bribes? Did my father really do it?”

“Trust your father. He won’t do that. But he can’t escape it.

“Also… Henry, the Fowler Corporation doesn’t belong to you anymore. Take advantage of the

opportunity and leave with your brothers and mother. If you continue to fight, you’ll only lose everything, and no one can save you. You won’t be able to defeat me.”

Micheal hinted.

After that, he hung up the phone.

The office fell into silence.

In the end, even Jack’s trusted aide sighed.

“Henry, keep whatever you own now. Where there’s life, there’s hope. As long as one is alive, there will be a day when he makes a comeback. You have to endure it for the time being!”

Henry was indignant. “But I still want to try my best…”

“*********!”

Jack’s friends, who were originally treating Henry kindly, suddenly scolded him angrily.

Henry was stunned.

“The Crown Group has set up a trap for so long. If you want to protect the Fowler Corporation under its plot, it’s no different from a kick against the pricks. Something happened to Jack, and he was involved in such a shocking scandal. We didn’t even realize that so many shares had been bought. We’re far behind others and completely defeated this time!”

“It is not brave but *********to fight the battle that you will lose! If Jack was released, could you bear to leave a debt-laden family for him? That way, you will never be able to make a comeback! If you

accumulate the remaining strength and bide your time, you will take back the Fowler Corporation one day! If you lose everything this time, you can never turn the tables for the rest of your life!”

“Don’t forget your father’s expectations for you. Even if you give up on the Fowler Corporation now, you can still preserve the remaining strength and make achievements overseas that the Crown Group can’t reach. Do you still decide to make a *********choice? If so, we will look down on you!”

I

“I’m sorry. I know I was wrong.”

Henry lowered his head and bit his lips tightly.

In the end, his lips were bleeding, and the smell of blood filled his ***********.

He felt indignant, guilty, and humiliated!

Henry had worked hard and thought that he was extraordinary and capable enough to handle the crisis.

However, the enemy had lurked around him long ago. Only at the last ************did he realize that he had been fooled.

This time, Henry and the Fowler Corporation were indeed defeated.

Even if Micheal was despicable…

He led the Crown Group and found the weakness of the Fowler Corporation…

In business, there were no open and aboveboard methods.

There were only winners and *********.

Winners could set up the rules and celebrate their success.

***********could only run away humbly and would never be known again.

As for the Fowler family…

It was the latter!

Henry attended the shareholders’ meeting as planned.

He was eloquent and played the role of being able to turn the tide. With the support of Jack’s old friends, he managed to stabilize the shareholders’ and investors’ confidence in Fowler Corporation temporarily.

Someone questioned the matter of Jack Fowler taking bribes.

Henry did not explain it explicitly and chose to give a perfunctory answer.

He proposed to wait for the final decision of a fair law.

Henry knew that he could not stop the Crown Group from annexing the Fowler Corporation.

Among the shareholders present at the shareholders’ meeting, many of them had probably been bribed by Micheal to transfer their shares of the Fowler Corporation.

If Henry decided to stay in the country and save the Fowler Corporation, the Crown Group could just abandon it and benefit from the difference in stock price.

To keep the Fowler Corporation, Henry had to accept the price set by Micheal which might be much higher than the market price.

In the end, even if Fowler Corporation was saved, it would only be an empty shell on the verge of bankruptcy.

On the contrary, the Crown Group would make a lot of money and leave.

After the meeting, Henry and Jack’s friends took stock of the resources and capital that the Fowler Corporation could accumulate after the liquidation.

After confirming it, he gave up the right to control before the corporation collapsed.

After finishing all the procedures, Henry ***********to the hospital.

Aaron and the others were guarding Anna’s ward. When they saw Henry rushing over, they hurriedly said, “Henry!”

Henry asked, “How’s **************?”

“The doctor is treating ********. She can open her eyes but can’t speak. It is better. It is great.”

Originally, they were all in despair from waiting.

But Anna woke up from the ultimatum of being a vegetable.

It was truly a blessing amidst misfortune.

Henry heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Aaron, when ************condition becomes better, pack your things and go to Meridonia to look for Raymond. I’ve got someone to arrange it. We can set off the day after tomorrow at the earliest.”

“So fast? Henry, is the company…”

“We’ve fallen into a trap. After I calmed down, I found that we could only give up on the Fowler Corporation. When we accumulate strength in Meridonia, we can come back to Crucsia and snatch Fowler Corporation back.”

They were going to lose Fowler Corporation…

Aaron and the others were quite disappointed.

They had such a premonition.

However, they did not expect that it would happen right in front of them.

And it was so difficult to accept.

The Fowler Corporation was the painstaking effort and the pride of Jack and Anna.

They thought it would accompany them for the rest of their lives. Unexpectedly, they were caught off guard and suffered a huge ***********************!
