Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 411

Lindsey felt that Soren’s words were a bit too euphemistic.

She was ready to be berated by the board of directors, so she was not surprised. She also thought of a countermeasure and finally appeased the few old directors. However, the situation at Denarius was far worse than she imagined.

It was not dawn yet. Lindsey was sitting in Zayn's office. Denarius' public relations team had always been the best in the industry and they put in more effort this time than ever before, but there were still no results.

Lindsey frowned and pondered over it. The secretary knocked on the door. "Ms. Juhl, your coffee."

"Mm, come in." Lindsey's eyes were still on the computer screen in front of her. She only lifted her head when she heard the secretary’s voice.

The secretary looked at the President's wife who had faint dark circles under her eyes yet still looked beautiful. She did not even have time to lament the injustice of God's creations because she was too busy with the company's current situation.

She put the coffee down and was about to leave when Quentin came in without even knocking on the door.

"Mr. Quentin." The secretary greeted him.

However, Quentin did not see or hear her. His hair was all messed up and his expression was unprecedentedly gloomy. "Madam, Denarius' stock has hit its limit down."

"What?!" Lindsey sat up at once. "It’s only been a few hours!"

Lindsey was working as a consultant before, so she was aware of market trends. Denarius was in a precarious situation, but there was no way they would suddenly hit the limit down within a few hours while their PR team was working hard to save the situation.

"Our corporate image suffered too much damage, especially because the President was arrested. The impact of this incident is too big, so be prepared for the worst," Quentin said in a deep voice.

Quentin was more familiar with the company's operations, so if he said so, this was really serious. Lindsey only felt immeasurable pressure.

"We still can't see Zayn now?" Lindsey frowned and asked.

Due to the sensitivity of the case, Zayn did not have the right to any visitors for the first 24 hours.

Quentin shook his head. "Not yet."

He actually kept something from her. Although Zayn was usually aloof and unsociable, he still got Quentin to make some arrangements for him. No matter how bad the situation was, there was no such thing as barring visitors. Quentin just held back because he was afraid that Lindsey would be more worried.

It was already bright outside. Lindsey was discussing with Quentin about holding a press conference. She did not even have time to go home to see Dezi, so she called Mrs. Wendy and told her not to send Dezi to school today. She would also be back later.

Last night, all the maids in the Guggenheim mansion witnessed this, but Mrs. Wendy was very calm because she had seen all sorts of situations in the Gu family. She only urged Lindsey to pay attention to her health and not to overwork or worry too much.

"The reporters outside have been there all night, so let's just invite them in. It’ll save us the trouble to make another appointment," Lindsey said somewhat tiredly.

Quentin nodded. He could not fathom what was Lindsey’s mood at the moment. He was already worried for his boss, let alone Zayn was Lindsey’s husband.

"Ms. Juhl, Mr. Quentin, it's not looking good. There are a lot of police cars at our main entrance!" The secretary's voice suddenly sounded. She did not even knock on the door this time and barged into the office.

He looked incredibly serious. At this juncture, having a Deputy Chief of Police visiting Denarius so early in the morning was not a good sign.

While they were talking, Quentin had already walked up to Felipe Jipson. His smile did not reach his eyes and he looked puzzled.

The people behind Felipe also looked serious. Felipe shook his head faintly at Quentin, then raised his right hand and moved his middle finger slightly. Someone behind him immediately stepped forward and handed a document with a big red official seal to Quentin.

Quentin frowned and swept a glance. He said incredulously, "What? You want to freeze all assets under Denarius?"

Behind him, Lindsey and Soren heard these words and instantly widened their eyes.

The reaction of the Denarius employees nearby was even greater than theirs and the whispers were incessant.

Lindsey took a few steps forward and did not think too much. She took the paper from Quentin's hand and quickly skimmed through it. It was clearly stated in black and white that not just Denarius, but all assets under Guggenheim Corporation were to be frozen and all projects would be temporarily suspended while they were under investigation.

She suddenly felt dizzy and clutched the paper so tightly that she almost ripped it.

A long, slender hand reached out beside her and held the corner of the paper with some force. Lindsey looked at the hand and lifted her head to meet a pair of scrutinizing eyes.

Felipe nodded slightly at her. “Mrs. Guggenheim.”
