Chapter 163 Worried About Being Exposed

She turned and walked towards the conference room door, her steps firm and resolute. As Melinda left, the atmosphere in the room shifted, and everyone exchanged uneasy glances.

Could the Lowe Group be on the brink of collapse?

After the meeting, Emily stormed into Leo's office, fuming. "Leo, did you see how arrogant Melinda was? She actually dared to threaten me!"

Leo frowned at Emily, feeling a wave of irritation himself. He had thought he could easily control the Lowe Group, but Melinda's sudden involvement was making things increasingly difficult.

"Emily, calm down," Leo said, trying to keep his own anger in check. "Melinda can't cause much trouble. She's just a researcher; what does she know about running a company? Don't worry, the shareholders won't agree with her."

Emily felt slightly calmer after hearing Leo's words, but she still said bitterly, "What if Melinda has some kind of scheme? You need to investigate this immediately!"

Leo nodded. If Melinda really took over the company, his plan to siphon off the Lowe Group's funds would be in jeopardy. A determined look flashed in his eyes. He had to find a way to get rid of Melinda to fully control the Lowe Group.

Meanwhile, Melinda had returned to the hospital. She lay exhausted on the couch in the hospital room, her eyes closed. Just then, Raymond walked in. Seeing Melinda asleep, he quietly sat down by the bed and began reading a document.

After a while, Melinda woke up and saw Raymond. She reached out to hug him. She didn't really understand business, but she had to fight to prevent Bobby and Emily from succeeding.

Melinda told Raymond about Leo and Emily's plans to get married and take over the Lowe Group. Raymond wasn't surprised. He had been secretly investigating Connie's poisoning. The drug was imported from abroad and hadn't passed animal testing, so it couldn't be sold legally. Some criminals were selling it illegally. It was used to treat mental illnesses.

"Don't worry, with me here, I'll secretly buy up shares from the small shareholders and some on the market. That way, you'll have twenty percent and won't be at Bobby and Emily's mercy," Raymond said gently.

A week passed quickly. Emily hadn't caused any major trouble, and Bobby, worried that Raymond would help Melinda take back the company, pretended to be ill and had Leo temporarily take over his duties, though not as president.

That day, Melinda, accompanied by Raymond and a carefully selected professional manager, walked into the Lowe Group. Her high heels clicked crisply in the hallway as she headed straight for the finance department. The employees whispered among themselves, speculating about what was about to happen.

Melinda wasted no time. She directly announced that as a shareholder and Connie's daughter, she had the right to audit the accounts. Her voice was cold and firm, exuding an undeniable authority.

The employees exchanged glances, some fearful, but most resigned. At Melinda's command, Raymond's team quickly began auditing the Lowe Group's accounts from the past three years, leaving no stone unturned. Melinda sat calmly on the side, observing everything. The other finance department employees were ushered out of the office.

Her gaze was sharp as an eagle's. When Leo heard the news, he rushed to the finance department, furious at the scene before him. He glared at Melinda, his face dark, but she remained unfazed, giving him a cool glance.

She turned and walked towards the conference room door, her steps firm and resolute.

"Don't worry, with me here, I'll secretly buy up shares from the small shareholders and some on the market. That way, you'll have twenty percent and won't be at Bobby and Emily's mercy," Raymond said gently.

Melinda felt much more at ease with Raymond by her side. "Alright, I'll listen to you!"

"Melinda, what do you think you're doing?" Leo shouted. "What gives you the right to audit the accounts?"

"As a shareholder of the Lowe Group, I now own twenty percent of the shares. I have the right to know about the company's current operations," Melinda replied coldly. Leo was left speechless by her words.

Just then, Melinda's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered. An excited voice came through: "Ms. Sharp, good news! Rufus has been sentenced to death! Celestia and her accomplices won't escape justice either!"

Hearing this, Melinda felt a surge of satisfaction. She knew these people had finally received their due punishment.

Leo, seeing the look in Melinda's eyes, felt a shiver run down his spine. He realized he might be exposed soon. Glaring at Melinda one last time, he turned and left the finance department.

However, Leo wasn't ready to give up. He returned to the president's office, thinking of ways to get rid of Melinda. He knew he had to act quickly, or the Lowe Group would fall into Raymond's hands. But he was wary of Raymond's power and didn't dare to act rashly. He fell into deep thought, searching for a breakthrough. Meanwhile, Melinda showed no sign of joy. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He could use the brainless Emily as a pawn! This way, he could divert Melinda's attention and get rid of her at the same time! With this thought, a sinister gleam appeared in his eyes...

Leo glanced at the stack of pending documents on his desk, feeling a surge of satisfaction. However, this satisfaction didn't last long. The phone rang, breaking the office's silence. Leo looked at the caller ID. It was Isaiah from Prestige Realty Group. He frowned.

Isaiah's voice was cold as he said they couldn't proceed with their collaboration with the Lowe Group for now. Leo's heart tightened, but Isaiah didn't give him a chance to persuade him and quickly hung up.

Before he could process this sudden blow, several more clients called. They all wanted to renegotiate their projects, and some even outright canceled their collaborations. Leo felt a wave of panic. He tried to reassure the clients, but it was to no avail.

In one day, multiple clients canceled their deals, and even the big orders Bobby had secured were mostly withdrawn. Leo felt a suffocating pressure. He knew this wasn't a coincidence; someone was definitely behind this. The first person he thought of was Raymond. Only Raymond had the power and means to put the Lowe Group in such a predicament.

Leo took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm. He left his office and went to find Melinda in the finance department.

Melinda was busy with the accounts. Seeing Leo enter, she looked up and gave him a cold glance.

"Ms. Sharp, I know you're busy, but I have something important to discuss with you." Leo tried to keep his voice steady.

"Can you talk to Mr. Thomas and ask him to stop targeting the Lowe Group? I know the client cancellations are related to him."

Melinda looked at Leo coldly. "Leo, I don't know what you're talking about. How can you be sure it's Mr. Thomas? Where's your evidence?"

Leo was at a loss for words. He suddenly realized that Melinda didn't seem to care about the Lowe Group's fate. But he did, because once he married Emily, he would become the largest shareholder. Moreover, Emily planned to transfer Bobby's forty percent stake to him. If the Lowe Group went bankrupt, he would be buried in debt and never recover.
