Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 168

Henry’s question was a reminder, knocking some sense into my thick head. I instantly recalled that Jane and Zoe were at their ice hockey practice. Then what was Leo doing here?

As Henry eliminated his only reason to be here, Leo chickened out, bidding farewell hurriedly.

“I was about to leave, Henry. Have a productive day ahead!”

Glaring hard at him, Henry made it sure that he was escorted out of the Villa and rushed to me.

“I have used buffers to stabilize the shares for some time. We must come up with a proper plan to avoid this doom, Laura.”

…

Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a method to tackle the market overnight, so the next day in office was quite tense. The atmosphere was grim with bleakness as everyone was scared, questioning the future of our agency. Henry suggested to me,

“Discuss this matter with your investors and sponsors. You must win their trust in this meeting.”

Brandon invited all our business partners for an official meeting and until afternoon, we welcomed the stern-faced capitalists. In the presence of the board of directors and Henry, I was a bit optimistic while elaborating on the company’s finances.

“LB corporation strives for the best in every field. We deliver on time, providing the best services to the clients. That’s why the graph of our earning is touching new heights every day.”

My presentation about the profit of this ice hockey season went on smoothly, the addition of a kids’ championship gave an ultimate boost to my organization. However, the sponsors weren’t satisfied, they expressed their distress in the question-answer session.

“According to your report, all is well in LB corporation. But look at the stock prices, it’s crashing continuously.”

Mr. Mario’s assistant handed me the file about the latest trends, trying to call me a liar before the stakeholders. Henry spoke up to support me immediately,

“We all know it’s temporary. Laura has managed her company’s reputation well. She won’t disappoint you.”

My brother’s statement gave me courage to face venomous queries after that, but a serious question from Mr. Hudson sent shivers down my spine.

“As I announced earlier, LB cooperation has achieved the target of profits in a miraculously short period, surpassing the old agencies. You are aware that my agency is the leading sports organization with the trust of the public and clients.

Someone had used dirty tactics to sabotage my reputation. And this report has clarified this misunderstanding that we aren’t at fault!”

“You are right, Laura.”

Seething in anger, Henry frowned and spoke sharply.

“It’s utterly unacceptable!

Those who can’t attract the clients are putting in their extra efforts to defame us. We will definitely make sure to defeat them.”

Author's Note: No matter when, Henry will always stand firmly by her side.
