Chapter 372 Land Incident


    Elliot''s voice came from the other side of the phone." Are you still sleeping?"


    "Hmm..." Yvonne hummed and turned over.


    Elliot screamed, "It''s almost ten o’clock and you’re still sleeping?"

    His loud voice gave Yvonne a slight headache that the blue veins on her forehead thumped.


    "What''s wrong with you?"


    Perhaps Elliot heard the impatience in Yvonne''s tone. He coughed softly and quickly adjusted his


    attitude." Well, there’s bad news."


    "What''s the bad news?" Yvonne yawned and asked.


    Elliot piqued her curiosity. "Do you remember thend that Mr. Lancaster bought some time ago?


    The one that belongs to Mr. Wright."


    "Yeah. What''s the matter?" Yvonne opened her eyes.


    Elliot said happily, "Something happened to that piece ofnd!"


    "What?" Yvonne jumped out of bed abruptly. She was half asleep butpletely awake now.


    She held the phone tightly and asked eagerly, "What happened?" "Ancient tombs were dug out of


    thend by excavatorsst night and it has been reported," Elliot answered.


    Yvonne was stunned. "Ancient...ancient tombs?”


    "Yes. Isn''t that surprising?" Elliotughed.


    But Yvonne was very panicked. "How can there be ancient tombs? Henry clearly asked Joe to


    inspect thend before buying it. There was no problem at all. But now..."


    "It''s not absolute," Elliot interrupted her.


    Yvonne didn''t understand what he meant.


    He exined, “Mr. Wright’snd was passed down by his ancestors. Even Mr. Wright himself didn''t


    know that there were ancient tombs underneath, so the buyer definitely didn''t know about it. Most


    buyers will just check on the surrounding environment and will not explore the underground area,


    so..."


    "So what?" Yvonne pursed her lips.


    Elliot chuckled, "So it''s hard to find out if there are ancient tombs underground. Although this


    situation has happened before, it''s very rare. Furthermore, every time a tomb is dug out, no


    operation can be carried out. Therefore, the billions of dors Mr. Lancaster amounts to a total loss."


    "How can it be..." Yvonne muttered with her dull eyes after hearing this.


    There were so many problems at the construction site and a few billion was wasted every time.


    Even if the Lancaster Group wasrge and wealthy, they couldn’t withstand these losses.


    "Elliot, now that thend can''t be constructed, can it b e sold to others?" Yvonne asked.


    If it could be sold to others, perhaps Henry could recover little losses.


    However, Elliot told her regretfully, "No. There''s no one who will buy this piece ofnd after knowing


    there are ancient underground tombs. As I mentioned earlier, someone reported this incident. So


    this piece o fnd will be expropriated by the state, but they should give somepensation to Mr.


    Lancaster."


    "How much will it be?" Yvonne bit her lip. "Is thepensation ording to the market price?"


    Elliotughed, "How is that possible? You think too much. The piece ofnd will mostly be


    expropriated b y the National Archaeology department, which is the poorest department. How can


    theypensate based on the market price? At most, it might just be a ten thousand dor with a


    medal? Hahaha..."


    Listening to the gloatingughter on the other end of the phone, Yvonne was very angry. "Stop


    laughing!”


    "Okay... Alright. I won''tugh anymore. Hahaha....” Elliot agreed but he continued tough


    intermittently.


    Yvonne was furious. "What’s so funny about it?”


    "It’s funny, really funny. You know what? I’ve never seen Mr. Lancaster suffer a loss or run a loss-


    making business. But it happened twice in a month. Of course, I have tough about it. Luckily I got


    another piece ofnd and gave this to Mr. Lancaster. Otherwise, I''d be the one at a loss now," Elliot


    said gratefully.


    Yvonne couldn’t listen to him anymore and she hung u p the phone.


    After hanging up the phone, she rubbed her hair irritably then went online to search for the news.


    After searching, the news was indeed on the inte and it made headlines. The following shares


    andments had exceeded ten thousand.


    Yvonne roughly scrolled through thements. Some of them were gloating like Elliot while some


    were sympathetic with the Lancaster Group, and others were just spectators. All in all, these


    comments were mixed together and made people ufortable.


    "Not sure how he''s doing now. He must be very angry." Yvonne was worried about Henry while she


    muttered.


    This tomb incident would certainly cause turbulence i n the Lancaster Group’s share market again.


    And the directors of the group would make a fuss and doubt Henry’s management skills and ability.


    Even worse, some of the directors might jointly remove him from the president''s post.


    With this in mind, Yvonne clenched her mobile phone and decided to make a trip to the Lancaster


    Group. She would not be at ease if she did not see Henry in person.


    So Yvonne quickly jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom.


    Half an hourter, she arrived at the Lancaster Group.


    Outside the CEO''s office, Yvonne raised her hand and when she was just about to knock on the


    door, it opened.


    Joe came out from inside. He was a little surprised when he saw her. "Why are you here, madam?"


    "I already know about that piece ofnd. I came here because I''m worried about him..." Yvonne


    didn’t hide and told him the reason.


    Joe finally understood and pushed his sses up. "I see. But sadly, Mr. Lancaster is not in the


    office."


    "He''s not here?" Yvonne frowned. "Where did he go?"


    "He''s in the conference room. This incident caused our group to lose another few billion. So those


    directors mored to ask Mr. Lancaster for an exnation," Joe replied with a wry smile.


    Yvonne clenched both of her hands.


    As expected, she got it right. Those directors really came to Henry.


    "I need to see them!" Yvonne turned around and walked towards the elevator.


    Joe stopped her. "Madam, calm down. I know you''re worried about Mr. Lancaster, but what can you


    do if you go now? And this is not something you can


    participate in." "I know, but I''m afraid they''ll remove Henry from his CEO position." Yvonne frowned.


    Joe chuckled, "Madam, you think too much. Mr. Lancaster is the biggest stakeholder of the


    Lancaster Group. His shares alone are more than theirsbined. They can''t simply depose him.


    So don''t worry, madam."


    After hearing this, Yvonne calmed down a little and took a step back. "You''re right. I''m too impulsive


    to forget this. But after this incident, the group will no longer listen to Henry''s decision right?"


    Joe was silent for a moment and nodded. "That''s right. Those directors will begin to question Mr.


    Lancaster''s decision in the future, but it doesn’t matter. All this while, Mr. Lancaster has always led


    them to follow his decision and he will definitely be able to do so in the future."


    "Is it..." The corner of Yvonne''s mouth twitched, showing that she was barely convinced. "Joe, you


    should get back to work. I''ll go in and wait for him."


    Joe nodded. "Okay. I’m bringing these documents to M r. Lancaster. I''ll inform him that you’re here."


    "Alright, thank you," Yvonne smiled at him gratefully and walked into Henry''s office.


    It wasn''t long until she heard noises outside the office.


    Yvonne quickly stood up and stared at the door.


    The door opened and Henry''s tall figure came in.


    Yvonne looked at him, took a deep breath, and said," You''re back.''''
