Chapter 1735 The Consequences
The Gold Group’s stock price took a dip in the next three days. Not only were their investments stymied by a bottleneck, but a few of their mega-projects were also canceled.
Nancy tried everything she could to salvage the situation but to no avail.
Knowing that these were all works by Nacht Group, she contacted Zachary and even tried looking for him at Divine Corporation, but Zachary refused to meet her.
On the fifth day, Gold Group’s share price had plunged to its lowest on record. All the projects were put on hold. Investors started retreating, and the capital chain began to rupture.
The bank had issued the final warning to get them to clear their debts. Otherwise, Gold Group would have to declare bankruptcy.
The Gold family put the blame on Nancy’s incompetence. They started pointing fingers at Nancy, who had only assumed Gold Group’s president position for not more than twenty days, for causing all the problems.
There was nothing Nancy could do, as things had gotten out of control, and she had no clue how to resolve the problem.
Nevertheless, she knew Zachary had total control over the fate of her company.
Only Zachary could solve all the problems he created.
Nancy waited at Divine Corporation for a few days, hoping to get a chance to talk to Zachary, but he did not appear. Left with no choice, she decided to wait for him at the entrance of the hospital where Charlotte was.
Even though he didn’t show up at the company, I’m sure he’ll come to the hospital!
She heard Spencer was already at the last moment of his life, and a few Nacht Group directors, including Johann, would be at the hospital tonight.
She was right. Zachary finally appeared.
She immediately got down from her car and tapped on his window. “Can we have a word, Mr. Nacht? Please, just ten minutes will do.”
“There’s nothing to talk about.” Zachary ignored her.
After the car pulled up, his men helped him to his wheelchair, and he was about to enter the hospital.
“Please give me another chance, Mr. Nacht. Please…” Nancy begged desperately.
Zachary continued to ignore her. His bodyguards then prevented her and her subordinates from walking up to Zachary.
Just when Zachary was about to leave, Nancy drew out a dagger and placed it on her neck out of desperation. She bellowed, “Zachary Nacht, you’ve done everything to destroy me, and now I’ll take my own life before your eyes!”
The uproar started drawing attention from the crowd around the hospital.
Not only did Nancy look haggard, but she was also emotionally drained. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she questioned Zachary, “I lent you a hand when you needed help. I betrayed my father to help you rescue your son, and my father even beat me up because of that. To strengthen the position of your company, you reported my father to the authorities. This is how you repay my kindness? Why did you do this to me?” she said between sobs as if she was the pitiable victim.
She had also insinuated that Zachary was an ungrateful man who had turned his back against his benefactor.
The crowd, who did not know the truth, started pointing fingers at Zachary and calling him an ingrate.
To Zachary, Nancy was nothing more than a laughing stock.
Ben stepped in and said, “You know what you have done, Ms. Gold. Now that your company is in trouble, you should do something about it instead of making an awful din here.”
“Do something about it? What else can I do?” Nancy exploded with rage. “Nacht Group kept oppressing us, and in just five days, Gold Group has completely fallen apart.”
She continued lamented, “I’ve done so much for you, yet this is how you treat me? Where’s your conscience, Zachary?”
Instead of continuing with the argument, Zachary pointed at the roof of the building and said icily, “You should have thought of the consequences when you pushed Chris down from the roof five days ago!”
