Chapter 498:Injured (Part Seven)


    Rachel was about to take a sip of her coffee when she heard what her assistant said, her cup


    suspended in the air.


    "What did you say?" she asked, wanting to make sure she heard correctly. The assistant skimmed


    through the news and then saw the confusion on Rachel’s face.


    She remembered hearing from the senior employees that Rachel was once married to Victor, the CEO


    of Sullivan Group


    "As stated here, I’m afraid the Sullivan Group is currently in serious trouble."


    Rachel’s eyes darkened as she drew the cup of coffee to her mouth and took a sip.


    She didn’t say anything, and her expression remained stern.


    It was hard to decipher what was in her mind By three in the afternoon, the share price of Sullivan


    Group had dropped nearly thirty percent in the stock market


    The news about thepany’s employee jumping off a building became widespread Many people


    demanded that the authorities thoroughly investigate the project and that the Sullivan Group put out an


    official statement


    The controversial project was doing fine in the past few days after its previous issues gradually died


    down, but this unfortunate incident suddenly broke out, inflicting more damage to the Sullivan Group.


    The blow was even greater and utterly unexpected this time.


    The day the manmitted suicide was the day the investigation team came to inspect the alleged


    anomalies of the project Some people spected that the man killed himself because he feared facing


    the punishment and being put to prison, but others thought it wasn’t that simple.


    They suspected the man was murdered.


    The public had be suspicious and vignt more than ever.


    This had inevitably put the Sullivan Group in deep water After leaving the restaurant, Rachel went


    straight to thepany instead of going home.


    As soon as she sat behind her desk, she turned theputer on and looked up the issue about the


    Sullivan Group.


    Both thepany’s shareholders and the people online were apprehensive and high-strung.


    Rachel hovered the arrow mouse cursor on the top-most search results and clicked on an article with


    the headline,


    "Victor Sullivan, Come Clean Now!"


    Most of the people were moring for Victor toe out and release a statement regarding the


    incident.


    Some of them believed he was behind the death of the employee, despite not having solid evidence.


    The whole situation was starting to get out of hand as different opinions and sentiments from the public


    began to sh Rachel suddenly felt a headacheing.


    She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, trying to massage away the throbbing pain.


    A knock then came on the door.


    Her assistant pushed it open and found her in that state.


    "Miss Be," the assistant politely said as she put the folder on the desk.


    With head still throbbing, Rachel looked up at her. The assistant noticed the weariness in her eyes.


    "You don’t look well, Miss Be.Do you want me to reschedule the meeting so you can go home and


    rest?"


    "I’m fine," Rachel said softly.


    "No one’s rescheduling the meeting."


    Admittedly, business wasn’t Rachel’s forte.She wasn’t really good at it, so she felt pressured at times.


    It was far moreplicated than editing codes, in her opinion.


    On top of that, she was heavily put off by the fiercepetition among business people in the circle.


    But since she had already set herself up to bring the Be Group to its previous glory, she had no


    choice but to work hard.


    No matter how difficult the problem was before her, she had to find a way to solve it.


    The assistant didn’t persuade Rachel anymore and excused herself to prepare for the meeting. After


    her assistant left, Rachel took her phone and searched her contacts.


    After hesitating for a while, she called home.


    "Hello, Miss Be?"


    L’s voice came on the other line.

    "I might go homete tonight, L.Please look after Joey while I’m still out,"


    Rachel said as she opened the folder her assistant brought and signed her name at the bottom of the


    document.


    "Don’t worry, Miss Be.I’ll take care of Joey."


    L agreed immediately. Out of the corner of her eye, Rachel caught a glimpse of the top-search


    results on theputer screen.


    After a moment of silence, she said, "L…"


    "Yes, Miss Be?" L answered, slightly confused by Rachel’s tone.


    "Did they leave?"


    She had just finished signing her name when she paused to wait for L’s response.


    The ink from the tip of her pen immediately spread on the document, smearing the paper ck.
