My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 345 Allen Recovered

The shareholders of the HD Group were smart. After hearing from Richard that there was a risk, they all began to hesitate again. When Jacob was ready to issue shares, all the shareholders began to hesitate and shirk again.

"What do you want? I've already made it clear, and you've already gotten the benefits, yet why don't you believe me?" Jacob was impatient at this time. The money he borrowed upon usury was due for repayment. If he did not have the funds to repay the loan, then those people would very likely destroy him.

"It's not that we don't believe you, Mr. Carter. I'm having liquidity problems. My wife used my money for investment and hasn't gotten it back yet. I don't have money for the time being," A shareholder said to Jacob.

"Yeah, yeah. I also lent out all the money we had. It's not time for payment yet and they are all people we are close with, so I can't suddenly ask them to repay us," Another shareholder said. The rest all had various excuses, but the gist of it was that they had no money.

"Our stock will be public after issuance. They'll go up, and once they do, you can sell them. You'll make a lot of money from selling. Haven't you all made a lot of money at the HD Group?" Jacob wanted to

swear.

"We did make a lot of money at the HD Group, but the President at that time wasn't you. You made us lose money," Someone spoke out to remind everyone.

All the shareholders thought about it and realized that it was true. Back then, Halbert let his sons take turns being the President for a few months. The first son and the second son all lost money. It was only until the youngest son took office that they received dividends and profits.

"Oh right. I almost forgot about that. It's been a long time, but that year was truly risky. We almost lost money." Some people started to miss Richard.

"What's past is past. What's now is now. It's different now. I'm mature, and I also have my personal connections." It did not matter how Jacob explained himself anymore. All the shareholders came up with excuses to leave, and the shareholders meeting ended on bad terms.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Jacob smashed a few teacups. But watching the teacups fall to the ground and shatter did not diminish the anger he harboured at all.

"Someone, come here. Take these all down. We won't be having another shareholders meeting anymore. They are all just old and stubborn," Jacob said with resolution and anger. Why was Richard always profitable? Because of Richard, he could no run the business anymore. It was all his fault! All his fault!

Jacob went to the bar alone with a bad headache. He called Allison, but she never answered. He had no idea what she was doing.

"Dad, mom, I want that." Allen could already walk on the ground. Amy had been telling him stories about soldiers, which made the kid dream about becoming a soldier.

He began getting past the traumatic experience. He was still young and able to adapt and forget things quickly.

Allen started smiling brightly again.

"Did Allen want this?" Amy pointed to the toy gun in the book.

"Yeah, I just want this. I want to learn to shoot." Allen listened to the inspirational stories his mother told every day and wanted to protect his country and the people he cared about. He wanted to be an upright

man.

"Okay, mom will buy it for you right away. There is an open space in the garden. How about we set it up to be your shooting range?" Amy said to Allen.

"Okay. Mom, you're the best. Dad, teach me." Allen's head was still wrapped in gauze, but it did not affect him much. He ate and slept well and was close to recovering emotionally.

"Okay. Mom will be responsible for buying it, and dad will be responsible for teaching me. We'll collaborate as a family." Richard was in a very good mood. He had a lot of time every day to spend with his wife and his kid. He wished he could live every day this way. But his responsibility was to protect his family, so he could not live such a relaxed life for the time being.

"Richard, do you have something going on recently? You look very busy recently," Amy asked Richard softly while Allen played with his toys.

"I'm not very busy lately, but I'll become busy soon. The HD Group will become mine again soon. I'm spending more time with you guys now because I won't have time after a while. It'll take me a long time to clean up that mess," Richard told his wife honestly about the latest situation.

"Richard, you could've started over. You'll do much better than HD, yet why are you waiting for HD to become yours again and clean up that mess?" Amy just did not understand.

"Amy, the HD Group belongs to the Carter family. It's also founded by my grandpa and dad. I can only lead it to success instead of letting it go bankrupt. Since I can grow other businesses, I can also continue growing the HD Group." Richard touched Amy's hair. Her hair was beautiful, soft and smooth.

"Okay, I see. Richard, I'll support you." Amy nestled in Richard's arms.

Jacob's shares were not issued. Almost everyone in the group refused to pay for his shares. There were still three days left for Jacob to repay the loan that he borrowed upon usury. He could not get in touch with Allison, so he went directly to Field Group to replace Hadrian.

"Mr. Field, I want to replace Allison, but she's not answering my calls," Jacob said to Hadrian. The Field Group was not very big, at least incomparable to the HD Group. Jacob would not have come to Hadrian if it were not for Allison.

"She has been very busy recently trying to rescue Mr. Philip. As you know, Mr. Philip went to jail, so she needs to manage the Philip Group." Hadrian had already contacted Allison. He knew that Jacob came to ask Allison for money. Allison did not have that much money to give him now. Even if she did, she would not give it to him.

"Then I would like to ask Mr. Field to help me ask Allison when she plans on replaying the HD Group. I can barely stay alive now." Jacob was indeed going to be on the brink of death. He had no idea where he would be in three days.00000000
