Chapter 1743 Hostile Visitors
The heart-warming scene in the ward melted Lucian's heart.
“Lucian, do you really not want to go in?” Jonathan asked when he saw the change in Lucian's expression.
Lucian's face darkened again. “No. I'll do so after I crush Jack.”
Only after Jack had paid the price for his actions would Lucian have the peace of mind to stay by Roxanne's side.
If he were to go in now, he expected himself to go soft again because of Roxanne.
Knowing Lucian's thoughts, Jonathan stop persuading him and glanced at his phone instead. “The plan has been set
in motion.”
Lucian looked as if he was unsatisfied with the current plan. He fell into deep thought and said coldly, “Next, Farwell
Group and Queen Group will attack Damaris Group's stock overseas. On top of that, expose Damaris Group to the
organizations overseas so that they, too, can join us in bringing down Damaris Group's share price.”

At one in the morning, an uproar broke out on the internet.
One headline read: Breaking news! Century-old Damaris Group inflated profits, cheating shareholders!
Another read: Damaris Group is overvalued. Prospects are grim!
All sorts of negative headlines flooded the news.
Moreover, there were even parties who began unleashing personal attacks on the employees of Damaris Group.
“Damaris Group is a hypocritical company. Their annual medical consultation is nothing but a PR stunt, as they
increase their drug prices every year!”
“Despite being a self-style century-old traditional medicine family, they don't have any ethics at all. At the end of
the day, they're just a greedy profit-driven family!”
Damaris Group's retail shareholders engaged in heated discussions with each other, unable to sleep after looking at
the share price.
Within an hour, Damaris Group's stock price fell off a cliff, dropping by sixty-five percent due to the attacks by
various factions, and it was still dropping.
Many of the panicking shareholders tried desperately to sell but simply froze like a deer in the headlights. In fact,
some even suffered a heart attack from the shock.
Soon, a huge number of them were cursing at Damaris Group.
In just one night, Damaris Group's reputation was destroyed and burned together with its stock price.
The panic that resulted spread unabated.
Late at night, Hector was awoken from his sleep by a knock on the door.
He had been sent back to Bellridge by Jack. However, due to Jack's concern that he would go and treat Roxanne,
Jack had him brought back to the main residence where he was being watched.
Hector was essentially imprisoned.
Never in his life had he been humiliated to this extent before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnfortunately, he was no longer the head of the Damaris family. In spite of his anger, all he could do was bear with
it and live like someone without a soul.
When he heard the knock on the door, Hector assumed that Jack had returned to brainwash him again. He
subsequently turned his back to the door and ignored it.
A moment later, the bodyguard's voice rang out.
“Old Mr. Damaris, there's someone here to see you downstairs.”
Someone's here to see me?
Hector gradually sat up on his bed.
Jack has been preventing me from seeing anyone out of precaution, so what's going on now?
Hector staggered to the door and opened it. Just as he was about to ask the bodyguard who it was, he heard an
argument downstairs.
“Where's Jack? Tell him to come out. I demand an explanation from him today!”
“Get Damaris out here right now! Otherwise, we'll drag him out if we have to!”
The hostile voices caused Hector's heart to lurch as he gave the bodyguard a curious look.
The bodyguard lowered his head, not daring to say a word.
