Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 1136

Foster reported, "Murphy has visited several directors recently, and within two days, people started selling off their shares. It has triggered a panic among a segment of investors, and with the recent news about you, some of the retail investors are beginning to dump their stock as well."

"Is that so?" Sebastian said, his voice laced with a chilling cold. "It seems high time for a thorough housecleaning at Empire Group. Otherwise, too much garbage lying around will only breed parasites."

With that, he tossed the documents onto the desk and commanded, "Starting now, buy up every single share of Empire Group available on the market. Take in as much as there is. I also want a complete background check on every connection these individuals listed here have within the company, regardless of their position. I want to see exactly how much leverage they have been quietly building behind my back."

"Understood," Foster replied with a serious expression. "But how should we handle Murphy for the time being?"

Sebastian tapped his long fingers gently against the desk, falling into contemplation for a moment before speaking. "Let him keep lobbying. Leave him be. Ever since I shot down his proposal at the last board meeting, his loyalty has shifted, and he has been looking for any opportunity to bring me down. My current situation gives him the perfect opening."

Foster hesitated. "But if we leave him to it, it is highly likely that even more people will dump their shares, causing a massive panic. When that happens, I am worried..."

"There is nothing to worry about," Sebastian said in a low voice. "Just buy up whatever is out there. This not only allows us to buy back the shares at a discount, but it also helps us flush out the fair-weather opportunists. It kills two birds with one stone. Besides, if I am not mistaken, Murphy will be making a major move very soon. With the company in such turmoil, my prolonged absence, and the media saturated with rumors of my impending death, he will definitely lose his patience. He is bound to try everything to throw the company into total chaos. That way, he can pry out the answers he wants and potentially turn a massive profit. After all, as the second-largest shareholder, he is tired of playing second fiddle and wants to claim the top spot."
