Chapter 1426 Ryan’s Predicament
The company's hallway was deserted as all the employees had left for the day. Kendrick and Darcy were the only
ones there.
Unseen by Darcy, a smirk played on Kendrick's lips.
Meanwhile, Roxanna relayed the news of the successful collaboration to Chloe. With the transfer of 28 million,
talent acquisition had begun, marking a significant transformation for the medical base.
Alone in his room, Ryan read the latest news and slumped in despair with his hands clutching his head.
The stock had been on an upward trajectory, so why was it plummeting now? Was Colton hell-bent on dragging him
down too?
As he watched the continuous decline of Gardner Corporation's stocks, his phone buzzed incessantly. It was a
message from Kendrick, indicating that it was time to make his move.
What good was this information now? He had already acted, and his plan was teetering on the brink of failure.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWho could guide him out of this mess? He certainly could not confide in Kendrick. If he did, Kendrick would
undoubtedly shift all the blame onto him. He could not shoulder that burden alone.
Ryan's expression hardened. Staring at the plummeting stocks, he gritted his teeth and sold all his shares.
It was the only option left.
Meanwhile, in another country, Colton sat in his room and watched as his company's stocks continued to fall.
Anxiety gnawed at him.
He was engaged in a psychological battle. He could withstand the fall, but Ryan couldn't.
If he did not act promptly, all his efforts could be for naught. However, if Ryan dared to gamble and risk everything,
then he could potentially win this psychological warfare.
Colton kept a close eye on the stock market's fluctuations. At the last minute, Ryan sold all his stocks.
"Do it."
At his command, Beryl, who had been sitting next to him, immediately started buying back all the stocks, causing
their value to rise again.
Relieved, Colton instructed in a slightly hoarse voice, "Tell our people back home to prepare for the final move."
"Understood."
Beryl nonchalantly nodded as he messaged their contacts back home to prepare for the final move. This maneuver
was enough to land Ryan in jail.
Soon, the news reached Kendrick.
"What do you mean that Ryan has been arrested? Didn't he just make his move?"
Kendrick's frown deepened as his voice dropped to a whisper.
Sitting across from him, Darcy put down her cutlery. Kendrick's tense expression gave her a premonition that
something was amiss.
Could it be related to their operations in Restrad?
"Make sure all the blame falls on him."
Kendrick snapped before abruptly hanging up.
These fools could not even keep tabs on one person. They had acted prematurely without even warning him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrustrated, Kendrick had to admit that his information network in Restrad was lacking. If he wanted to expand, he
needed to penetrate the Restradian market.
"Kendrick, what's wrong?"
Darcy looked at him with concern. It had been a long time since she had seen him this agitated. This situation must
be serious.
Would she still stand by him if he went bankrupt?
Darcy had pondered this question before, and her answer had always been yes. However, she now found herself
wavering.
"It's nothing. Finish your meal. I'll take you home later."
He reassured her with a slow shake of his head.
Although she had been involved in the early stages of his plans, she was oblivious to the potential consequences. It
was best not to involve her further at this point.
After all, he was prepared to sacrifice her as a pawn if necessary.
He casually picked up his cutlery and resumed eating his steak, but his mind was preoccupied with the wait for
further news. He could not afford to be outmaneuvered by someone like Colton.
