Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!
Chapter 882 Company Was in Trouble

In fact, ever since Elvis suddenly appeared and the Kent family had that accident, Nicole had an inkling that she no long had anything in control. Then something happened to Samuel even before this inkling grew into a concrete feeling.

She had to admit that Elvis moved fast and accurately. That Gerry was already dead, but what about the one who was still alive?

He was like a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, staring at Nicole and her family all the time. It set Nicole on edge.

After she relaxed for a while, her phone rang again.

Nicole glanced at it. It was Melissa. Apparently, Melissa got the phone number from her father.

Without even looking, she blacklisted Melissa's phone number.

Right now, she was upset about Samuel. She was in no mood to deal with Melissa.

Then, Nicole restarted the car and drove to the detention center.

She hadn't eaten much in the morning. After noon, she was not hungry at all. Now that the sun was about to set, but there was still no news. Nicole was a little anxious.

Did Elvis regret it?

Or did he have new plans?

Nicole called Heather. Heather told her that Elvis had never come out of the room.

Lucas also said that although the men from the Order of R had gone away, with some people left nearby, Elvis' men could still see them.

Nicole didn't know what was wrong, but she could only keep waiting.

However, she did not see Samuel come out. Instead, Jacob's call came.

"Mrs. Green, where are you?"

"Is anything wrong?"

Temporarily, Nicole was reluctant to say anything about Samuel.

Although such a big accident happened to the Green family, Nicole had blocked the news. And the press did not report it, because the senior leaders in the media industry had no intention to make it open. Now, Jacob's call made Nicole confused. So she asked directly.

Jacob hurriedly said, "Mrs. Green, can you get in touch with Mr. Green? Something happened to the company."

"What is it?"

Nicole's heart skipped a beat.

Jacob whispered, "Please come here now. If you can get in touch with Mr. Green, please tell him to come over as soon as possible."

After saying that, Jacob hung up.

Nicole rubbed her aching temples. Although she didn't know what had happened in the company, she heard Jacob's anxious tone and had no time for consideration.

She looked at the detention center nearby. Her beloved man was inside, but now she could not wait for him here.

Nicole sighed and called Ernesto, asking him to come and wait here. Then she drove towards Eternal Group.

As soon as she entered the company, Nicole felt something was different.

Although she didn't run the company, she heard from Samuel that the company had a few shareholders. Nicole looked around and noticed that these shareholders were sitting in the conference room, and they looked angry. Nicole frowned unconsciously.

"Mrs. Green, where's Mr. Green?"

Jacob did not see Samuel, so he hurriedly asked.

"Samuel was busy and can't go away. I'm here to check what happened."

As soon as Nicole said those words, the shareholders became unhappy.

"Who are you? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are Mrs. Green, you know nothing about the company. Do you know how to do business? Call Samuel back right now!" Nicole seldom came to the company, so she knew little about the company. Now she was criticized by these shareholders, she felt terribly embarrassed.

However, now under special circumstances, Samuel couldn't be here definitely. Anyway, she could only bravely say, "Samuel is on a business trip. He can't be here. What happened to the company? Can you tell me?"

"Do you have a stake in the company? Who are you? You have no rights to ask us about it. If Samuel can't make it back, can he give us a video call? Call him now. We need to talk to him."

The shareholders simply made things harder for Nicole.

Nicole was a little awkward.

Jacob hurriedly said, "Gentlemen, please calm down. This is our Mrs. Green. I know you all have underestimated her but she does have a stake in our company. She owns 25% of the company. Mr. Green had told me that if he was not here, Mrs. Green would have full authority to deal with urgent matters. Because his 25% is Community Property, and his wife has the right of disposal."

With Jacob's words, not only Nicole, but all the shareholders were surprised.

"What nonsense! How can he give away our shares randomly? Furthermore, these shares are not in the community property."

Mr. Bates was infuriated when he heard this.

Nicole was still dumbfounded.

When did she get 25% share of Eternal Group?

However, before Jacob could get time to care about Nicole, he hurriedly said to Mr. Bates, "Mr. Bates, Mr. Green has already left a document in the law firm. So please show some respect for Mrs. Green." Although Samuel didn't come, Jacob knew that if Nicole could contact Samuel, she wouldn't be here.

After all, Nicole was not interested in the company business, nor was she interested in the management. She did not even know about the 25%. So unless something happened to Samuel, or he was really busy, Nicole would never come here.

Now that Mr. Green was not here, Jacob could never let people bully Nicole. This was his duty.

Although there was a "vice" in Jacob's title, everyone knew that he was Samuel's trusted subordinate since he had been by Samuel's side for so many years. Jacob's words, though not as influential as Samuel's, were definitely valued in the industry.

Now that Jacob had been protecting Nicole, even if a few shareholders complained about it, they had no choice but to suppress all their dissatisfaction. After all, Nicole had more shares than them. Seeing that they were silent, Jacob said to Nicole, "Mrs. Green, here's the thing. One of our construction company had an accident not long ago, and a migrant worker died on the spot. According to the investigation, there was something wrong with our lift, and the worker also met with the mishap just on the lift. Someone posted it online right after it happened. Although our company's public relations department was responsive, the harsh public opinion still went viral. Our stocks are plummeting, and the family of the victim is seeking justice, asking us to offer an explanation and compensation. " Nicole frowned in worry.

Was it a coincidence that such a terrible thing happened at this time?

Or did someone did it on purpose?

In a construction company, accidents happened from time to time, but the news shouldn't spread so quickly. Now it seemed that it was getting worse and worse for them, as if someone was deliberately targeting them.

"Didn't you send someone over to negotiate?"

"Yes, but our people were kicked out at the door. Manager Benington, who was in charge of negotiation, is now hospitalized."

Hearing Jacob's words, Nicole squinted.

"So now we are having a meeting for what?"

Nicole looked at the shareholders.

This wasn't a big deal. If Samuel was here, he might be able to solve it quickly. But at the critical moment, Samuel wasn't here.

However, even if Samuel was absent, with Jacob's ability, he might also handle it well. However, not only did Jacob fail to settle it, the shareholders were sitting here with anger. There must be something wrong.

Nicole looked at the shareholders with sharp eyes.

The shareholders were dissatisfied with Nicole, who suddenly appeared and became a major shareholder. Now that they saw Nicole look at them with sharp eyes and question them, they were annoyed immediately.

"For what? Now our stocks have fallen off sharply, which has seriously affected our interests. Moreover, Samuel didn't come to deal with it and the group failed to handle such a small matter properly. We doubt whether Samuel has the ability to manage the whole group."

Mr. Bates spoke again.

Nicole sneered and said, "So you mean you want to replace Samuel? Then who will be the chairman? Do you remember that this group belongs to the Green family? Are you Mr. Bates, right? May I ask how many shares you have in Eternal Group? Do you have the right to change the president?"

Nicole asked an especially sharp question.

She had never abused her power and bullied others. But those shareholders were clearly kicking her when she was down.

No, perhaps it was not kicking her. They were simply here to make trouble for her!

Or perhaps they knew that Samuel could not come here, so they were so unscrupulous and fearless.

Nicole pondered on all the things, and she suddenly thought of Elvis.

She looked at Jacob and whispered, "Does this Mr. Bates have anything to do with Elvis?"

Jacob was surprised.

"Elvis? Do you mean Mr. Green's Uncle Elvis?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Bates and Elvis were once best friends."

Hearing Jacob's words, Nicole was suddenly enlightened.

Elvis was threatened by Nicole and had no choice but to release Samuel. However, he couldn't reconcile himself, so he planned to destroy the company. At that time, even if Samuel was released, the company would be in a mess and just an empty shell. Samuel would have no time to investigate him or Gerry.

Perhaps the accident at the construction site had something to do with Elvis.

Nicole went over all the clues in her mind quickly.

When Mr. Bates saw that Nicole and Jacob were whispering, he couldn't help but get angry.

"What are you talking about? Tell us all. Or are you plotting to exploit our interests? I think you should call Samuel out. Can a woman be in charge of so many important things? Stop joking! Where is Samuel? Has he done something wrong and gone somewhere to hide?"

As soon as Mr. Bates said those words, everyone turned their attention to him. When he finished speaking, Nicole was struck by his certainty and turned around to gaze at Mr. Bates.☐☐
