Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1744

“Calm down, everyone. What's going on?”

Hector could vaguely guess that Jack had caused some trouble. Still, that matter concerned Damaris Group, so he chose to step in ultimately.

Seeing Hector stepping up, the crowd toned down their anger to show their respect. “Old Mr. Damaris, this matter has nothing to do with you. Please have Jack come and speak to us.”

Everyone was well aware of Hector's character after his many years of involvement in the medical field.

Many of those present had even been on the receiving end of Hector's kindness, so they didn't want to distress him.

Hector glanced around the living room and noticed that the crowd comprised mainly superintendents of companies that had business relations with Damaris Group.

Some of them had collaborated with Damaris Group for many years, but even they were visibly enraged.

That observation further agitated Hector. He forced himself to stay calm before pressing on, “Jack isn't here at the moment. Why don't you tell me what exactly happened? If he did something wrong, I hereby apologize to all of you on behalf of Damaris Group.”

Everyone exchanged glances.

Nevertheless, the silence merely prevailed for a few minutes.

The room erupted in a commotion again when the crowd realized Hector had no intention of calling Jack out.

“Old Mr. Damaris, let's hear your take on this. Our companies cooperated with Damaris Group for so many years because we had faith in you and believed in Damaris Group's stable and long-term growth. But look at what's happening now! After this disastrous incident, all the money I invested has gone to waste!”

“This is all thanks to your grandson's doing! Everyone now despises Damaris Group. Under such circumstances, can we still receive the remaining balance Jack promised us? The project is already nearing its completion!”
