The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 315

Shareholders were standing and making their way towards the exit. Their stakes in the company might not have been massive, but if they started selling off, it would cause a complete panic amongst the small-time investors. Once the capital chain broke, it would be the end of Andersen Corporation.

Lucius had only wanted to vent a little, he hadn't expected the shareholders to actually start leaving. In a fit of panic, he flipped the table in front of him. "You greedy bastards, instead of helping the company, you're kicking it while it's down. Despicable!"

The table hit the floor with a deafening crash. The shareholders looked at Lucius with disdain. They thought he was beyond saving.

"Lucius, instead of reflecting on your own mistakes, you're blaming everyone else. It's pathetic!"

"The reason Andersen Corporation is in this state is all because of your lack of foresight, and you have the audacity to blame others? You're a failure as a CEO!"

"Hmph! Why waste words on this man? If we don't liquidate our assets soon, he'll devalue them all. Let's go!" The shareholders declared and headed for the door.

Shaking with rage, Lucius punched the shareholder, who had been the most outspoken.

"Did I say you could leave? You useless bunch!" The shareholder hadn't expected the punch and fell to the floor. The conference room descended into chaos as the other shareholders started arguing, some even started fighting back. With the advantage of numbers, they soon had Lucius pinned to the floor.

Just then, the door to the conference room swung open, and in walked Magnus, looking as sharp as ever. His commanding presence instantly subdued the room. The shareholders hadn't expected Magnus to show up, especially not looking so hale and hearty. They turned to look at him.

Magnus surveyed the room, his disdain for the shareholders clear. "This is a company, not a boxing ring. If you want to fight, take it outside!"

Seeing Magnus standing there so confidently, the shareholders suddenly felt embarrassed. They approached him.

"Mr. Andersen, what brings you here?"

"We heard you were ill. Are you feeling better now?"

"We need you back, Mr. Andersen. The company's stock has been tanking. If this continues, we're all doomed."

"Mr. Andersen, now that you're well, please take control again. We need you to save the company!"

There were no real friends when it came to business. These shareholders had lost all faith in Andersen Corporation but weren't about to let their investments sink.

Now that Magnus was here, they turned to him for help, completely forgetting about Lucius. Lucius was a mess, his face swollen and bloody.
