My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 242

In the afternoon, a press conference was held in Breezy Express.

Arthur personally apologized to the public and Victoria at the press conference. He stated that although Cayden was his grandson, he did not hold any official position in Breezy Express.

He also claimed that this matter had nothing to do with the competition between Breezy Express and Perry Express and stated that he hoped for the media and world at large not to speculate about it.

However, Arthur's clarification barely did anything to help the situation.

In the next month, the stock price of Breezy Express continued to decline, eventually reaching a market value of only 10 billion dollars.

Breezy Express went from being a top logistics industry giant to a second-tier company worth only half of Perry Express.

It was the 25th of December, Christmas Day.

Cayden bought a gift for Hailey, but she didn't even bother to open it.

Hailey asked, "Cayden, why hasn't the stock price of Breezy Express risen yet? Isn't your grandfather very resourceful? How come he doesn't have a remedy for this? Breezy Express has now become a second-tier courier company, and my friends don't even use Breezy Express anymore."

Hailey was obviously more concerned about the situation of the Huxleys' company than the little gifts.

Cayden was also a lot more haggard than he had been a few months ago. His face was now covered in beard, and he hadn't shaved or groomed himself for days.

"Rest assured, Hailey, Breezy Express will definitely rise again next year. Now that my grandfather has reorganized the management and gone into deep cooperation with several companies, the stock price will surely rise to its previous position next year."

Cayden assured Hailey.

"Let's hope so."

Hailey said scornfully with displeasure.

As the Huxleys gradually fell into the doldrums, Hailey began giving Cayden the cold shoulder.

Now, the Huxleys were worth only about 10 billion dollars. There were two male heirs in Cayden's generation, so he would be entitled to an average of about 4 billion dollars of the inheritance.

After the development over the past six months, the Camdens' net worth was close to 4 billion dollars!

In comparison, the Camdens and the Huxleys were almost on par, so Hailey saw no need to bow down and accommodate Cayden.

"Hailey, it's Christmas. Nate and the guys have set something up, and we happen to have some business to talk about, so I won't be coming home today."

Cayden put on a jacket and prepared to go out.

Hailey frowned and chastised, "You're not even going to be home with me on Christmas! Throughout my pregnancy, how many times have you taken care of me? Are you even fit to be my husband?"

Cayden thought, 'You're not pregnant with my baby, so why should I care for you? Go get Jordan Steele to take care of you!'

However, he didn't voice his thoughts out loud and instead said gently in a warm voice, "Well, your mother is staying here too. Since she's taking care of you, I can be at ease."

Hailey's mother, Sylvie, had already moved in with them for a long time so that she could take care of the pregnant Hailey.

Hailey muttered, "You're always mentioning my mom. I don't see your mom coming to take care of me."

Cayden smiled and said, "Well, I'll get going now. Merry Christmas."

As soon as he walked out the door, Cayden murmured, "You want my mom to come here to take care of your and Jordan's bastard child? Hailey Camden, you don't deserve that!"

Just as Cayden walked out the door, Hailey's mother, Sylvie, made her way downstairs.

Seeing how disgruntled Hailey was, Sylvie asked, "What's wrong, my dear daughter? Have you had a tiff with Cayden again? Don't fight with Cayden all the time. Just be more accommodating."
