Chapter 334
Henry was still the head of his family, and there was no one better to ask Isaac to return.
That was why the entire board pinned their hopes on him-his very appearance at this moment gave them hope!
’Henry..."
Though Henry was taken ill from stress by recent events, he rushed here anyway because he heard about the board meeting, and was worried that Ian could not keep the board in line.
Even so, he was still very sick. He was very pale, and he would not be standing if Moneypenny was not helping him.
On the other hand, the board did not care-their money was at stake.
They swarmed Henry right away
'You're the head of the family. You have to give us something to work with after what happened."
Henry did not come unprepared, naturally.
Quincy had given him a call before she was arrested, insisting that she would take responsibility for what happened to Light Group.
He also learned that Ian had signed an agreement with her to that effect. It additionally stated that she had made all company decisions and was hence culpable for all consequences, including the Eastdawn investment.
However, even though Henry showed the piece of paper in question to everyone, they understood that Quincy was merely scapegoating herself for her son's sake.
Obviously, that would not satisfy the board.
'Henry, surely you don't think this is over with just a scapegoat? The company has suffered serious losses..."
'Well, who else would you want to take responsibility after what happened? Ian? Or perhaps me?"
Henry was still able to keep the board in line, and they were silent just as he continued, "None of us wanted this, but it happened anyway. All we can do is work together and weather this-if this is about losses, my family has suffered the most."
None of the board members could say anything against that.
The Jeffersons were the majority shareholders, which was why they had control over the company.
That was why none of them could deny what he was saying.
"May I offer a suggestion?" one of the board members asked just then.
'What is it?" Henry asked.
That in turn made the departments involved turn their crosshairs on Light Group.
As such, the board was getting more vocal as they voiced their wishes to bring Isaac back, but there was no way Henry could have put aside his pride to beg the man!
Irene had just returned from the hospital when she saw James.
She was not actually surprised-he had been coming in and out of the mansion so often lately that Tommy became accustomed to him.
The baby did not cry or pout even in James's arms, and was happily fiddling with his little toy.
After washing her hands, Irene held out her hands. "I'll carry him."
James passed Tommy to Irene and said, "When I get married and have a daughter, let's have our children get married."
Irene was left at a loss of words-Tommy was just a baby!
’Tut, tut..." Stan heard that from the door and pursed his lips. "Keep dreaming."
James rolled his eyes at him. "I've been here for ages. What took you so long?’
