Chapter 515

Chapter 515:

A cold, cruel glint flickered in Noah’s eyes. “What about the Howe Group?”

Samuel’s expression turned grim. “The Howe Group has reached a collaboration agreement with the Perry Group. Aliza and Alex are engaged to be married.”

“And Susannah?” Noah spat out, his voice laced with venom.

“Susannah has been staying at home for the past few days. She hasn’t gone outside, so our men… well, they had no reason to act.” Samuel lowered his head.

Noah fell into a heavy silence.

“Mr. Wall, perhaps it’s best if you return to the company for now,” Samuel urged once more. “The doctors and nurses here are very competent. Everything will be fine. Besides…” His voice dropped to a whisper as he added, “We’ve been keeping Mrs. Wall’s situation from Mrs. Stewart and Averi, but the boy keeps asking where his mother is. I’m afraid we may not be able to keep it a secret for much longer.”

Noah stiffened when he heard that.

He had been so consumed by Sadie’s condition that he had completely forgotten about her son.

“How is Averi?” Noah asked.

“He is doing well, but he misses his mother,” Samuel replied softly. “Every day, he comes up to me and asks when she will be back. At this point, I’m running out of excuses to give him.”

A flicker of guilt passed over Noah’s face. He owed Sadie so much.

He slowly got to his feet. “Let’s go.”

He took one last glance at Sadie before turning away and walking out of the hospital room.

Samuel followed quickly on his heels.

“Bring Averi over,” Noah suddenly said as they strode down the hallway.

“What?” Samuel was momentarily stunned, but soon understood Noah’s intention. “I understand, Mr. Wall.”

“Wait.” Noah stopped short. He looked like he wanted to say something but second-guessed himself at the last second. “Never mind. Let’s wait until she wakes up.”

Samuel stared at Noah’s back and sighed to himself. He knew that Noah was worried about Averi’s reaction if he saw his mother in such a state. They didn’t want to frighten the child.

Once back at Wall Group, Noah dove right in, handling the backlogs with his usual efficiency.

Just as Samuel had warned, several senior shareholders made their move during the next shareholders’ meeting. They criticized Noah for his absence and bluntly called for his removal from the position of CEO.

“Where have you been these past few days, Mr. Wall? The company is facing so many issues, yet you, the CEO, disappeared without a word. How can we entrust the future of this company to you?” This came from a senior shareholder with gray hair.

“He is right, Mr. Wall! Your actions have been highly irresponsible.”

“Indeed. We chose you to be the CEO because we have faith in your abilities. That doesn’t give you the right to just up and go as you please.”

“I agree.”

Soon enough, the other shareholders chimed in with similar sentiments. They collectively attacked Noah and questioned his qualifications as CEO.

Noah sat silently at the head of the long table, his face blank as he listened to their accusations.

These geezers were simply trying to seize more power, and they all knew it.

“Are you done?” Noah finally spoke once the commotion started to die down. Although his tone was calm, it commanded the room with his distinct air of authority.
