Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 280

"Don't sweat it. It's just a temporary hiccup." Ethan comforted, patting Ines' shoulder.

"Hope the Galeana Group's stock prices bounce back today." Silas sighed.

At this, Ines also seemed a bit uneasy. Yesterday, due to her incident, the company's stocks took a nosedive as soon as the market opened, causing a lot of people to dump their shares and resulting in a major loss for the company.

Ethan wasn't worried at all, "Don't worry, today we might see more than just a recovery. We might have to worry about a spike."

Ethan saw Silas returning, claiming he needed to head back to the Meyer Group to handle some stuff. Ines didn't suspect anything until a call from the Base came in, revealing the severity of the situation. Ethan hadn't returned to the Meyer Group. He had returned to the Base and was now arguing with Phillip in his room. She didn't need to guess what the argument was about. Apart from the car accident, she couldn't think of anything else.

"What's going down, Ashley?"

The one on the phone was Ashley, who had been hanging around the Base, sneaking behind Jacob's back as she didn't have many classes recently. Phillip spoiled her a bit, so he didn't mind.

Ashley, staring at the closed door, whispered, "I'm not really sure what's up, Ethan stormed back all pissed off, grabbed Grandpa and headed into the study. They're having a massive row now. I can hear stuff getting tossed around inside. I tried knocking, but they were totally ignoring me. Izzy, you might need to come back. I can't think of anyone else who can calm them down."

Hearing Ashley's words, Ines started to fret. She handed her work over to Silas temporarily and had the company driver take her straight to the Base.

Ashley was pacing anxiously near the staircase when she saw Ines come in. Rushing over, she said, "Izzy, finally, I didn't know what to do. They've never blown up like this before. It's really freaking scary."

"How long have they been in there?"

"About half an hour now."

On hearing this, Ines frowned and quickly headed upstairs. Ashley, noticing Ines' pregnant belly, quickly followed suit.

Due to the Meyer family's special status, the study was designed for utmost privacy. It was specially decorated using imported materials. The soundproofing was top-notch, so even if they were shouting inside, one couldn't hear anything from outside.
