From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 522

Rebecca tried to reassure her father. “Dad, please don’t worry. Daniel gave me his word—he wouldn’t go back on a promise. For all we know, he’s already making arrangements right now!”

Daly felt a small measure of relief settle in his chest.

Just then, a knock sounded at the office door.

“Come in!” Daly called out.

A few of the company’s shareholders entered, faces grim.

“Daly, the company’s on the edge of bankruptcy. Our stock has dropped another ten percent, and if this keeps up, you know exactly what’s going to happen.”

Daly’s brow furrowed. “So, what are you suggesting?”

“Someone’s offered to buy us out,” one of them said. “We’ve talked it over, and we think it’s time to sell.”

“No way!” Daly’s face turned hard. “You’ve all been with the company for years. We’ve weathered plenty of storms together—are you really going to abandon ship now, when things are toughest?”

Sell the company? Even if they did, the proceeds wouldn’t come close to covering all the mess they were in.

The shareholders fell silent.

Daly continued, “Let me be straight with you. The Robinson Group is about to invest in Morris Enterprises. When that happens, we’ll be back on top—and better than ever!”

The shareholders exchanged glances, clearly believing him. After all, the last time Morris Enterprises was in crisis, the Robinson Group had swooped in to save them.

“That’s a relief to hear, Daly. When are they investing?”

“It’s already in motion,” Daly assured them.

With that, the shareholders finally relaxed. No one mentioned selling the company again.

Evening fell quickly.

But there was still no word from the Robinson Group.

Daly grew anxious and drove straight home.

When Rebecca heard what had happened, she frowned, worry creasing her face. She couldn’t stay calm either.

A whole day had passed—why hadn’t Daniel given any response?

“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll call Daniel right now.”

She wasted no time in dialing his number.

When Daniel answered, his voice was thick with guilt. “Rebecca, I’m so sorry… My dad just stripped me of my position! But I promise, I’ll find a way to help you.”

Rebecca’s face drained of color.
