Chapter 323 

Ray pushed open the door of the hospital room, his expression serious. “Mr. Dashiell, there’s been a crisis.” 

Lizetta knew to step aside quietly at his words. 

“Spill it,” Remington commanded, straightening up in his bed. 

Ray stepped in. “News about Mr. West’s passing leaked prematurely. It’s all over the internet now, and the West family’s stock prices are nose–diving. Some investors are lashing out on the West family’s official website, demanding explanations. Others, more radical, have gathered in front of the West family building, protesting and even photoshopping Mr. West’s obituary photo.” 

He handed over a tablet to Remington, who tapped on a video. A rowdy crowd was amassed outside the West family offices, with a man at the forefront holding a black and white photo of Quentin, defaced with blood red paint that read “Gone too soon” below “The West family owes investors. Quentin, go to hell.” 

Watching the chaos, Remington frowned deeply. 

“Barbara saw all this and just had a bit of a turn, the doctors are with her now,” Ray continued. 

Remington’s face fell, he quickly threw off his covers and got out of bed.

“Hi, Remington.” 

“How’s Barbará now?” Remington asked with concern. 

“She’s stabilized now. She was just overwhelmed by the online backlash against Quinn. Wait, are you injured?” 

Martin noticed Remington’s hospital gown, his surprise

“Just some minor injuries. I’ll go in and see her,” Remington replied, brushing off his concerns. 

Accepting Remington’s assurance, Martin stepped aside, “Good, she listens to you. Try to comfort her.” 

Remington, holding Lizetta’s hand, led her into the room. 

Martin gave Lizetta a surprised look. 

Lizetta nodded at him, “Mr. Martin, I’d like to see how Mrs. Barbara is doing.” 

Without another word, Martin ushered them in. 

Releasing Lizetta’s hand, Remington quickly approached the bed.
