A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"I just got the latest news about the HT Group's food poisoning incident. They're apparently suffering immense losses. Their stock price has been falling since the opening quotation today, and it has fallen several points by now."

Darren turned around, held his hand out, and said, "Well, it's just what I expected. Let me have a look at the documents."

It was known to all that the biggest mistake a food manufacturing company could ever make was to produce and release faulty products. It would not have been a big deal if it was just the taste or the texture being ordinary. According to reports, the snacks from the HT Group had directly caused food poisoning among its many customers, which was certainly unforgivable.

"It's just the beginning. If the HT Group does not give the public a satisfactory explanation soon, I'm afraid that a decline in reputation and stock prices will not be the end of it," Harlan said. As Darren quickly skimmed through the documents in his hand, he nodded with satisfaction.

He closed the file casually and threw it to one side. He then cleared his throat and asked, "What do you think Jacob is doing now?"

Harlan thought for a while and replied, "Considering the mess his company's in right now, he's probably losing his mind."

Darren disagreed with his answer. He waved his finger and said, "Don't underestimate him."

"Why? Do you think he has found a solution already?" Harlan was confused. He stared at Darren expectantly, trying to read his face.

"I heard somebody bailed Jacob out. Is the HT Group now under David's new management?" Instead of answering Harlan's question, Darren casually threw him another question.

"Yes."

Darren pressed his lips in a thin line at Harlan's short yet affirmative answer. He did not appear surprised at all, but he showed an expression of understanding.

He had to admit that Jacob acted very fast. It had only taken him one day to get out of detention and temporarily stabilize the messy situation at HT Group. If David had not returned to the company, the HT Group's stock price would have fallen even more.

Darren looked up at Harlan and then quickly turned his gaze away. Deep down, he felt upset that he had not harmed the HT Group as much as he had intended to.

David was Jacob's best friend, and he always had his back. But if Darren struck while they were still down, the resulting damage might be too severe for even someone like David to remedy. His loyalty would not be enough to stabilize the situation.
