Hansen was smoking a cigarette and sitting in the chief- officer chair, staring motionlessly at the computer.
However, his mind was churning.
Some time ago, in order to avoid risks, he had given Jenna 60% of the shares to operate overseas. Hansen wondered what happened to her?
Obviously, this storm was not just in Europe, but a global one. However, the situation elsewhere was slightly better than in Europe.
But what would happen to her?
Picking up the phone on the table, he discovered that the phone was turned off.
D*mn it!
His mood was so bad over the past few days. He had plunged into an unprecedented anxiety, and even dared not call Jenna. He didn't know how to face her.
He felt ashamed over his actions.
How could he face her?
Just thinking about this, he put down the phone again.
In the past, when Hansen could have had Jenna, he felt that he was the person who suffered the most in the world, and he was cruel to her.
Then, when he desperately wanted to have her, he found it harder than reaching the sky.
Grandma's words told him that the relationship between them was likely to end.
No one else could be blamed for this. He was the one to be blamed for all this as he was ignorant about what was right and wrong.
Grandma was right. No one could help him with the mistakes he made. He could only pay for his absurd mistakes.
He was afraid that he would lose her in this life.
Of all, Jenna was hurt the most. From the beginning to the present, she suffered countless times more than him.
To put it bluntly, he contributed to all of her pain.
He couldn't even beg for her forgiveness.
Thinking of this, he squeezed the phone in his hand and closed his eyes.
Even if he gave her everything, it would be irreparable.
"D*mn, it's plunged again, and it will be over if this continues," a company executive uttered a low cry of surprise and panic.
"Dragged by the international financial sector, the index fell again and hit the lowest number in nearly a decade. It was the so-called Black Wednesday. Security companies are all green and the market is covered under a gloomy veil,” the TV announcer announced the news with a usual tone.
"The continued downturn in the stock market has caused some people to lose everything overnight, and companies with insufficient funds have declared bankruptcy. The market has started panicselling and a vicious circle has led to a further decline in stock indexes."
The phone rang everywhere in the office.
After a while, the office fell silent.
"Mr. Richards, due to the impact of the financial crisis, several orders were terminated." After receiving the call, Nathan, the marketing manager, took the lead in opening the topic.
"Mr. Richards, the orders for luxury cars have a lot of refund requests because they are unable to pay."
"Mr. Richards, some shareholders called to ask what's going on, and some asked to withdraw their shares."
Hansen took a deep puff of his cigarette and sat still, as if he didn't care about what happened.
Retribution, this was retribution.
Maybe if there was nothing, everything would be better.
If he could exchange everything for Jenna, he would be very happy.
He should have nothing. Given his behavior, why should he have a successful career and a status that would make everyone envious?
Career, family, marriage, predecessors; everything was twisted together.
There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, which actually gave one the feeling that he was watching a joke from the sidelines.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't understand his expression.
After Jenna got off the plane, she felt more serious.
It seemed that after returning to A City, the atmosphere of panic had become stronger.
She saw that many shops had signs advertising that they were letting out their shops, and shopping malls and restaurants were lifeless.
Without thinking about these things, Jenna rushed to International Kinsey Center directly after taking a taxi.
There was an ominous premonition that the Richards Group were encountering unprecedented trouble. Hansen must be in a state of exhaustion now, that was why he hadn't called for so many days.
Even if he didn't call, his dad was next to Jenna. A few days ago, as long as he had time, he would call her and ask about his dad warmly. Now, the atmosphere was completely wrong.
When she opened the door of the conference center.
She saw the smog in the meeting room. There was a cloud of smoke inside.
The strong smell of smoke wafted over, and the depressing air made one suffocate.
Jenna's eyebrows were slightly tensed.
The moment the door of the conference room was pushed open, a breath of fresh air wafted in.
Everyone saw the light of hope.
