Chapter 1115 They must not go on like this.
Alas, he had to keep it together for Charmine's sake and her illness... 2 Before he could do anything, however, something crucial happened the next morning.
The morning light shone into the bedroom and filled the space with warmth.
Ring! Ring!
The phone on the bedside rang urgently.
Charmine felt around for the phone before she answered the call, greeted with Adam's urgent voice, "Charmine, it's bad. All the companies under the Jordan Group were locked up. The construction sites are told to stop the work, and they just won't give US an explanation when we ask about it.
They only wanted US to call you."
The initially drowsy Charmine sat up straight away, awakened by the news.
She frowned. "The Association locked US down?" 'Yes. Our bodyguards dared not to resist, and they couldn't...â
Adam then warily asked, "Charmine, did something happen? Is someone against you?"
Charmine already had a vague answer within a short while.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal," she assured him. "Ask Grandpa to relax-l can fix it."
With that, she hung up.
A few news articles then popped up on her phone; they were the links sent to her by her company staff.
When she clicked on one of them, she read as the business section stated the following: [Divine Bird Project Halted!] [Jordan Group Forced To Lock Down!] [Who Did The Jordan Group Offend?]
These articles were the most searched on the business news page, and many debated on the topic.
[Everything went well so far, so why are they locked down? Didn't the Association support this project fully?] [Did some major incidents occur? There's no deadline to this lockdown, and it seems to be forever.] [Charmine knows so many moguls, yet nobody helped out? Maybe they can't even intervene for her sake?] [Look, all the Jordan Group shares are falling!] [Argh! What to do? We bought the houses. Will they be a goner in time?]
Reading them all gave Charmine a headache.
The Divine Bird Project was forced to stop, and even all of the Groupâs construction sites were locked down. The matter had taken a turn for the worse.
Although they had sold out the Divine Bird houses, the other sites were ongoing and were actively tried to be sold out.
If this went on, the Jordan Group would be in great loss.
At that moment, Grandma Granger called. Her hoarse and guilty voice came through as she began, "Charmine, have you read the news? Have you heard? I'm sorry, but I have to do this for my grandson. I can guarantee you that as long as Guy comes home, as long as you and your company stop taking his blood, I'll make sure this gets sorted out right away." 1 Charmine's hands clenched tightly. As expected, it was Grandma Granger again! 1 In order for Guy to not overhear, she stood up and walked to the study room. Closing the door, she then countered furiously, "Grandma Granger, you kidnapped Robert last night, and now you attacked my company.
Aren't you taking things a little too far? Don't forget that you started this by drugging me in the first place! I also told you that Iâll ensure Guy's safety!" "But Guy has a special blood type! How can you ensure his safety? If anything happens to him, what can you do?" fretted Grandma Granger in pain. She continued in a stern voice, "As I said, I have no choice; it's all for my grandson.
You can call me cruel or scheming if you want, but I only have one thing to say: If you don't let go of Guy, the Jordan Group will be locked down forever! Itâll close down! I hope you think things through carefully, Charmine!" 1 With that said, Grandma Granger hung up right away.
