Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 313

"We have appeased the buyers. But this incident will surely leave a dent in the Lancaster Group's reputation. In fact, many media outlets were already there and doing a live broadcast before I arrived," Henry sipped his tea and replied.

Yvonne's eyes widened. "So that means the incident has already been disclosed to the public?"

Henry hummed in response.

Yvonne frowned. "That's pretty quick. How did the media catch wind of it?"

"It was a tip-off." Henry's eyes turned frosty.

"By who?" Yvonne looked at him.

Henry's expression hardened. "Joe found out that the manager in charge of developing the villas was related to the spy who had stolen some confidential information from the company. Both of them fled immediately after the incident and no one could track them down. Who else could they be aside from the enemies of Lancasters?"

Yvonne drew a sharp breath. "So, that manager deliberately embezzled the material fund and developed the villas poorly with inferior materials just to damage the Lancaster Group's reputation?" "Yes, they stole the money and achieved their goal.

They really killed two birds with one stone." Henry set his teacup down on the coffee table heavily.

Yvonne looked at the few drops of spilled tea and sighed inwardly. "Henry, it seems like that old man wants to slowly destroy the Lancaster Group."

Henry pressed his lips together. "I won’t let him get what he wants."

"The Lancaster Group took quite a huge loss, right?" Yvonne looked at him.

Henry narrowed his eyes. His face turned gloomy but h e remained silent.

It was as she said-the Lancaster Group did make quite a huge loss. The embezzled fund was more than a hundred million dollars and they still had to rebuild the villas. From the way things were going, they wouldn't be able to meet the scheduled launching date. This meant they would need to compensate the buyers and that would be another one hundred million dollars.

With all these added up, they made a loss of several hundred million dollars. The other shareholders of the group were already in a panic.

"Henry, are you okay?" Judging from his silence, Yvonne could already guess that the Lancaster Group had really suffered a huge loss. Otherwise, Henry wouldn’t show such an expression on his face.

Henry took a deep breath and replied tiredly, "I’m okay."

Yvonne was still a little worried. "Such a huge loss, will Grandpa..."

"I haven't told him anything about it. I asked Frederick not to tell him too." Henry massaged the bridge of his nose.

Yvonne lowered her gaze. "But how long can you hide i t from him?"

Henry pressed his lips. "For as long as I can. Grandpa will be extremely upset if he finds out about it now. I'll settle this matter as soon as possible and recover the losses. I won't be able to join you for tomorrow's fashion show."

"It's alright, I can go by myself. Take care of the serious matters first and don't worry about me," Yvonne waved her hands and said with a smile.

She was happy enough that Henry could at least remember his promise of going to the fashion show with her when the Lancaster Group was going through troubled times.

Besides, she wasn't an immature person either. She understood that the Lancaster Group was his priority a t a critical time like this.

"I'll make it up to you next time." Henry reached out and pinched Yvonne’s nose.

Yvonne slapped his hand away. "That hurts!"

Henry chuckled, "Have you done reading that?"

He pointed to the book on her lap.

When he went off to shower, she picked up a fashion design book to read. 1

"Not yet." Yvonne held the book up and showed him that she still had more than half to read.

However, Henry snatched the book away, snapped it close, and threw it on the coffee table. "Stop reading that, it's time to rest."

He pulled her up by her hand.

Yvonne couldn’t beat him, so she had no choice but to follow him upstairs.
