Chapter 1647 Where Is Fredric
While a few suppliers' suspension might not have been a major blow to the Whitman family, a large-scale disruption could severely impact both their production and distribution. Ultimately, the Whitmans would face significant consequences.
When the Whitman Group's market capital continued to plummet, several shareholders expressed their discontent.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"The market cap has dropped because of your family affairs, Mr. Whitman Senior. Do you think this is acceptable?" one of the shareholders inquired.
"We've heard that the Whitman family was kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce. I suggest we find a way to restore our reputation. We still have time, but the employees don't," another echoed.
In truth, both shareholders had colluded with Edison and remained in the company to stoke the flames. Some shareholders had even offered to sell their shares.
However, Reuben calmly instructed Noah to reclaim the shares at the market price from the first half of the year. Meanwhile, Edison was basking in the praises and admiration within the Chamber of Commerce. When he learned of Reuben's decision, he let out a haughty laugh.
"The Whitman family is on the edge. Just wait they'll be announcing bankruptcy in less than half a month!"
Despite having once supported Edison, Stetson now regarded him with disdain. "The Whitman family has weathered storms in the past, so they won't go down easily. That said, they'll suffer greatly. Here's a piece of advice-it's not over as long as Reuben remains alive."
Edison didn't seem bothered by Stetson's warning. "You're getting worked up over nothing, Mr. Leftnan. We both know how he's been scrambling for help in the past few days. My men even saw him nearly collapse from a heart. attack. That's all he's capable of now."
He picked up a pastry from the table and added, "Reuben may have once stayed ahead of the curve and accomplished a lot of things. But look at the Whitman family now they're so fragile that a single pinch could crumble them."
Stetson chose not to argue further, believing that Edison's viewpoint wouldn't impact the broader situation. However, he couldn't help wondering why Fredric hadn't given any instructions yet.
"That means we're doing a good job! Aren't you tired of overthinking, Mr. Leftnan?" Edison chuckled.
Still, Stetson sensed something was amiss. He wouldn't feel assured unless he got in touch with Fredric, so he instructed Edison to contact Fredric and inquire about the next steps.
Edison remained unconcerned. "Mr. Monty's probably busy with the new secretary, who's also the current head of the province. I doubt he'll answer my calls. Let me send him a message."
With Stetson's consent, Edison sent a message to Fredric. Thanks to that, the person monitoring Fredric was spared the task of extracting evidence. Instead, he simply picked up the phone and showed Fredric the message. Since his detainment, Fredric had remained silent and refused to answer any questions. Yet, Edison's message ruined everything.
How Fredric wished he could strangle Edison, that imbecile. He had warned Edison countless times not to contact him during critical moments, but Edison went ahead and sent the message anyway.
Worse still, his message smugly reported that the Whitman family had been taken care of, and there was nothing to worry about.
As Fredric trembled in anger, a member of the Special Unit entered the room. They inquired coolly, "How's the interrogation going?"
"We have solid evidence," came the reply.
"In that case, I'll be taking him. Boss wants him to identify his superior," the member stated.
Hearing that, Fredric swiftly raised his head as his eyes widened in disbelief. He thought that it was impossible for them to have discovered Judah so quickly.
