Chapter 604


    Chapter 601 He Should Have Lost His Memory


    Bailey red at him. “Do you think I''ll trick you?”


    Justin could not help butugh.


    He was, after all, scared.


    If Scarlett ended up getting pregnant with his child, his rtionship with Veronique woulde to an


    end.


    Veronique had suffered a lot. He did not want her to be sad anymore.


    “All right, I''ll leave this to you, then. I''ll go back to put on my act.”


    “Okay.”


    Ever since Victor announced he was going to sell thepany, chaos erupted at Saunders Group.


    The shareholders from the board of directors strongly disagreed with the announcement and constantly


    waited in the CEO''s office for Victor to return.


    As shareholders, they naturally had a share of thepany''s profits.


    Once thepany was sold, all their shares would lose their value. It would be a major loss for them,


    so they would not agree to it that easily.


    Even though Victor did not show up, they did not leave. They waited in his office every day for him to


    return.


    Sadly, the oue was the same for the next few days.


    In the end, Victoria could not hold it in anymore and went to thepany.


    The moment she saw thepany in a mess, her eyes reddened.


    The receptionist hurried forward and asked Victoria about the purpose of her visit before advising, “Ms.


    Saunders, it''s best if you don''t go upstairs. The shareholders are gathered in the CEO''s office now. I''m


    afraid they might get emotionally agitated and identally hurt the baby in your belly.”


    Victoria fell silent as she tried to process the situation.


    Indeed, it was inappropriate for her to show up at that moment. Remembering that Lionel would be


    handling the higher-ups of Saunders Group, she walked out.


    As she stood on the steps in front of the building, tears streamed down her cheeks.


    After all, thepany was a family business her ancestors had worked hard and passed down for


    many generations. Yet, it took less than a month for Victor to ruin it.


    Back then, she had acted nonchnt about it. Now that she had witnessed the situation with her own


    eyes, she realized she was not as strong as she thought. She could not bring herself to put on a smile


    while watching thepany go bankrupt and the Saunders family fall from grace.


    As she lowered her gaze, she saw Lionel walk over from the outdoor parking lot. Immediately, her lips


    curled to form a bitter smile.


    In the past, he had been the desperate one whose family had been destroyed. And now, the tables had


    turned. Victoria had taken his ce.

    He had managed to make aeback and rebuild the Gezmond family. Victoria could not help but


    wonder if she could do the same.


    “What are you thinking about?” Lionel wrapped an arm around her waist and pressed his forehead


    against hers. “Saunders Group isn''t bankrupt yet. What are you crying for? I''m here. Your family that


    existed for over twenty years won''t be destroyed just like that.”


    Victoria hung her head slightly and asked in a hoarse voice, “Why are you here?”


    “I was worried about you. I''m d you didn''t go upstairs. Vicky, I''ll do everything in my power to protect


    whatever you care about, including Saunders Group.”


    Victoria bobbed her head with a smile. “Let''s go. I know what you n to do. Let''s go upstairs


    together.”


    “Okay.”


    With that, Lionel took her hand and strode into the lobby.


    They used the CEO''s elevator to ascend to the top floor. Sure enough, a group of shareholders


    crowded around the couple the second they arrived.


    “Ms. Victoria, you arrived right on time. Mr. Victor has sold off thepany without our consent. This is


    too much.”


    “Exactly. You guys aren''t the only ones who own thispany. We own part of it, too. What gives him


    the right to sell off thepany without getting our approval?”


    “Since you guys are here, give us an exnation.”


    “Yeah! We want a reasonable exnation.”


    Victoria scanned the crowd and said casually, “Victor has no right to sell thepany because he''s not


    the biggest shareholder of Saunders Group. Neither is he the director anymore.”


    Silence ensued.


    The crowd was stunned, and they cast her confused looks.


    “What do you mean, Ms. Victoria?”


    “Yeah, what do you mean? Mr. Gezmond has transferred all his shares to Victor a month ago. He''s


    currently the biggest shareholder. What makes you say he''s not?”


    Victoria turned to the finance director, who had been silent the entire time. She said tly, “Tell them.


    It''s time to let them know.”


    The finance director had been looking forward to Victoria fixing the mess. Naturally, he was happy at


    that moment. Now that she had given him the order, he had no reason to disobey.


    “Mr. Victor has sold off his shares of forty percent at a low price. This was done secretly, so none of you


    know about it.”


    The shock was written on all the shareholders'' faces the moment he said that.


    “W-What? He sold off all his shares?”


    “Oh my goodness. If these shares fall into the hands of someone with ill intentions, that person will


    have the power to decide for thepany. We won''t be able to do anything if he wants to sell off the


    “Exactly. How could Victor make such a mistake by selling almost half of Saunders Group''s shares to a


    stranger? Is he trying to destroy the Saunders family''s century-old business?”


    “That useless descendant...”


    Waving her hand dismissively, Victoria digested theirments and said nonchntly, “It''s true that he


    sold off the shares, but the buyer is Lionel.”


    “Really? Mr. Gezmond bought all of them?”


    “Indeed. There''s no reason for me to lie to all of you. Lionel currently owns forty percent of the shares.


    If any one of you would like to be the biggest shareholder, you may buy it from him at twenty billion.”


    The shareholders nced at each other and shook their heads in unison.


    There was no way they could fork out so much money.


    “Ms. Victoria, since you and Mr. Gezmond are getting married soon, that means he''s going to be the


    Saunders family''s future son-inw. Nothing''s better than having him as our director.”


    “I agree! I believe Mr. Gezmond can turn the tides around and help Saunders Group restore its former


    glory.”


    Lionel nced at Victoria, and she nodded at him.


    Only when he received her consent did he step forward and say, “All right. I shall take over the


    director''s position. From now on, I shall be in charge of Saunders Group. Please do your best to


    cooperate with me so we can help Saunders Group restore its former glory.”


    “All right.”


    “Of course.”


    “All right.”


    When Justin returned to the Xuereb residence, he saw Olivia cooking in the kitchen.


    Seeing he had returned, Christopher approached him with a smile. “Your mother''s making your favorite


    dishes.”


    Justin instantly narrowed his eyes and asked grimly, “Didn''t you say she''s ill? So, you lied to me?”


    Christopher cleared his throat and said with augh, “No, no. Your mother''s worried you wouldn''te


    back. That''s why I had no choice but to use this method. Mothers and sons shouldn''t hold grudges


    against one another. Your mother prepared so much. Stay for a meal before you leave.”


    Justin''s expression was tense.


    Although he had purposelye back to put on a show, he could hardly bear it anymore.


    When Christopher saw Justin not budging, he quickly reached out and pulled thetter into the living


    room.


    Meanwhile, Artemis passed out from drunkenness and woke up the next day at the headquarters of


    Tarragon.


    Yvette was sitting on the bed and staring at him nervously.


    He should have lost his memory, right?
