Chapter 378: The Collapse

The meals were still delivered on time, but the flowers were gone. Callie held several meetings in succession, discussing the layoff list with Shamar's overseas managers. The company charter was also being revised, adding an extra layer of protection against the takeover.

"Check if the foreign company has already sold off their shares." Her colleague soon confirmed it was indeed the foreign company. After calmly considering the situation, Callie guessed that Nelson had no idea she had Jaquan's one billion dollars in aid. If he missed this calculation... it would actually give her an advantage. Playing short? Not an option. She immediately informed Shamar's trader, "Keep an eye on the stock market. Buy as many shares as the foreign company sells." The trader hesitated at such a direct confrontation.
