Claire certainly knows who that person is, but even if she tells Luke now, the company's crisis will not disappear and it will be more complicated. Claire doesn't tell the truth.
"At present, the company has not received liquidated damages but has to delay the construction period of all projects. In this way, we have to pay a lot of liquidated damages. After all, we can't find reliable suppliers in the short term. Advertising planning can not be done in the short term."
It's serious enough to destroy Howard Group.
"Now that Howard Group is in crisis, Wilson Group can't ignore it. After all, they are politically married."
Conan is uncomfortable with it, but it's true. And he thinks it happened after Leo lost his memory, so it doesn't count.
Luke hears Conan and gets more upset.
"They stand by and even add fuel to the fire when the company is in crisis." Luke looks resentful.
"What? You mean..."
Luke nods and says, "instead of helping, they took part of the money from Howard Group."
"How can they do that? Does Wilson Group want to watch Howard Group fall? It's about their interests." Claire can't understand.
Luke spreads out his hands and says helplessly, "Tracy must have done it."
Claire now regrets saying that to Tracy. If she encumbers Howard Group, she will only feel more guilty.
"What shall we do now?"
Luke shakes his head. He can't think of a way. Before that, he tried to contact Wilson Group, but they don't agree to meet him.
Then Luke's cell phone suddenly rings. When he takes out his cell phone and sees the name of the call, he frowns.
Maybe something happens to the company.
Luke answers the phone and throws it on the table. He falls on the sofa with his head in his arms.
"I wish Leo can wake up right now. He will have a way."
It seems Luke is desperate.
"What happened?" Claire asks anxiously.
"There are several projects that must be operated today, but after this incident, Party A of Howard Group has begun to urge. They didn't dare to do that when Leo was there."
Luke says angrily, "they heard that Leo is seriously ill, so they begin to find fault. You know Leo's approach. He usually oppresses them, so they are venting now."
Luke tries to stand up and tidy up his suit. He perks up and says, "I have to deal with these people anyway. Please take care of Leo."
Seeing Luke's almost unsteady figure disappear, Claire is also in despair.
She picks up her cell phone and calls Juan directly. Although she knows it is no use begging, she wants to try.
Unfortunately, Juan doesn't even answer his phone.
Since Juan starts attacking Howard Group, Claire and Conan have become as depressed as Luke. Conan has been competing with the hackers and wants to know about Juan's plans.
But even if he is gifted, he can't fight with five people. Besides, Juan has installed many security systems in the company, and this time Conan really can't help. He can only stare at the flashing computer screen with his red eyes.
...
Luke is busy in Howard Group. Howard Group has lost a lot of money before the event has fully started.
Without new funding, Howard Group will collapse.
...
At the board meeting.
"Mr. Luke, please ask Mr. Howard to come out and solve the problem quickly."
"Now the company is almost dead. On the surface, we just lost money, but in fact, 90% of the projects are on hold and losing money continuously."
"If we don't get new sources of supply or funds, we can't solve it at all. But now it's said that Mr. Howard is ill. Even the big banks don't help us."
"Mr. Luke, you say Mr. Leo is OK, but it's said that he's going to die. Is this true?"
Those shareholders speak, but Luke sits in Leo's position and holds his forehead and is silent.
"I've said many times that Leo is OK now, but he can't show up for special reasons. Don't believe the rumors."
Luke can only repeat this lie. If he really says Leo is seriously ill, Howard Group will really close down.
Someone wants to keep asking, but Luke slaps the table and says coldly, "I did get the agency of the company. In other words, I'm Leo here. If someone continues to say that, I don't mind firing him."
Everyone is silent.
Luke is satisfied and looks at them and sneers, "hasn't anyone from Wilson Group arrived?"
The secretary reminds him, "Wilson Group is ready to divest so it's no longer a member of the board."
Luke stands up and says to them, "it's really hard for the company right now, but you have to work together. After all, Howard Group is yours. If it can't be solved, you can only collapse with this building."
"Maybe we can choose to withdraw..." Someone retorts in a low voice.
Luke sneers and says, "Wilson Group has divested and now Howard Group has no money for you. In other words, we are now partners. I don't need to tell you what to do, do I?"
Luke tries to imitate Leo's methods and style. Unexpectedly, it really works. These guys give in.
What's more, even if it's stone, they can only choose to eat it.
