Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!

Chapter 137: Crash again 3 Chapter 137: Crash again 3 After hearing her mother’s words, Clara still remained vigilant. “My mother is locked up here, still worrying about me. As her daughter, I haven’t found a way to save her yet, and I feel terrible about that.”

“Husband, can you find a way to help save my mother, please?”

Seeing her like this, Terry Garcia’s expression didn’t change, but deep down he couldn’t help but doubt whether Clara was hiding something from him.

“We’ll definitely save your mother. We’ve already found a lawyer for her. We’ll go to court together, and she’ll surely win this lawsuit, be released, and return home with us. Our lives will return to normal.”

Clara leaned her head on his shoulder and replied sweetly, “It’s so good to have you, my husband.”

Taking advantage of the moment, Terry gently pulled her arm and opened the car door for her, saying softly, “Let me take you home to rest first.”

Clara didn’t notice anything unusual and happily got in the car.

On Wednesday, the stock market opened.

Due to Brown Group’s announcement that all major shareholders would not reduce their holdings and the company would buy back shares to stabilize the stock price, Brown Group’s stock price began to rise as soon as trading started, soaring up to seven percent.

Such strong performance temporarily steadied the hearts of all major shareholders and even retail investors.

By the end of the morning session, Brown Group’s stock price had risen by 6.5 percent.

Terry watched the numbers with secret delight.

But just as he reveled in his success, a video began circulating on the internet, causing an uproar.

The Deputy CEO of Brown Group, Terry Garcia, was caught in a dispute with a rich businessman over a young model.

This headline instantly triggered a series of reposts from major websites, with the video receiving over ten million clicks within ten minutes. The video content itself was incredibly sensational.

Millions of viewers were shocked to see that Terry, who usually appeared loving and affectionate with his wife Clara, became physically aggressive out of jealousy for a young model, a far cry from his usual low-key and elegant image in public with Clara.

After the video surfaced, Brown Group’s stocks were massively sold off in the afternoon session, sending the share price tumbling from a 6.5 percent gain to a 5 percent loss within ten minutes.

Caught off guard by this turn of events, Brown Group’s PR team was helpless as their strategies couldn’t stand against the bombardment of millions of netizens.

Seeing this disastrous situation, the group’s shareholders became restless.

Some major shareholders even secretly began reducing their holdings.

By the closing bell, Brown Group’s shares had hit the limit down again.

Three consecutive limit downs left Brown Group’s stock in terrible shape.

During the Shareholders’ Assembly, the ire of the shareholders turned towards Terry Garcia; however, Terry couldn’t attend this time because one of the largest shareholders was interrogating him with a fruit knife.

“Tell me, who is the shameless woman in the video? Why would you do such a thing behind my back?” Clara cried out.

Terry was dazed by her waving the knife and tried to speak in a gentle tone, “Wife, don’t get excited. This video might be a plot against me, a scheme to harm our company so they can manipulate our stock price.”

At this point, Terry marveled at his quick thinking.

“You think I’m a fool? You’re telling me that such an obviously real video is deliberately staged to trap you? Only a fool would believe you,” Clara snapped, her intelligence sharpening when it came to matters involving other women.

Terry insisted, “Haven’t you thought about why this video was released just when our stock price was rising? It’s clearly a malicious act. If you fall for it, the schemers will be even more successful.”
