Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 859

EchoWave... Dalton Ramirez's company.

Vesta hadn't seen or heard from Dalton since Dr. Lucas's disastrous gala.

When the other investors had started threatening to withdraw, she had wondered if Dalton would follow suit.

She swallowed hard. "What exactly did EchoWave say?"

"Mr. Ramirez's secretary said they'll send a representative over later to discuss the withdrawal terms."

Send a representative...

That meant Dalton wasn't coming himself.

In the past, he had handled every single negotiation with her in person.

Vesta pulled herself together. "Understood."

By that afternoon, Vesta was drowning in damage control.

Henley and the rest of the family had caught wind of the mass exodus.

Neural Nexus Tech was valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, but it wasn't publicly listed yet. With investors fleeing and equity frozen, if the company couldn't stay afloat, all that value would evaporate into thin air.

Every dime they had poured into it after taking over would be gone.

If Neural Nexus became worthless, Hawkins Technology would be saddled with debts they couldn't pay, even if they sold everything they owned.

Henley's expression was grim. "Vesta, we can't drag this out any longer."

No matter what, they desperately needed an answer from Thorne.

If he was truly cutting ties with them, they had to start mitigating their losses immediately to save whatever they could.

If they kept waiting...

The mood in the room was incredibly bleak, and even Jacques's return couldn't lift their spirits.

Maureen quickly walked over. "Your sister and dad have been swamped with work lately. So many headaches at the office. And I wasn't feeling well today, so..."

Jacques knew he was the golden child of the family. He wasn't actually furious.

Hearing they were busy deflated his annoyance, and his focus shifted to Maureen. "Are you sick, Mom? You okay?"

"I'm fine, much better now," she soothed. "We were just waiting for you to have dinner. Let's eat."

"Okay."

They moved to the dining room. As they sat down, Jacques suddenly remembered something. He looked at Vesta, a hint of complaint in his voice. "Hey, I came back today and Thorne isn't even here? Is he on another business trip?"

Vesta and everyone else froze.
