Chapter 334

Henry was still the head of his family, and there was no one better toask Isaac to return.

That was why the entire board pinned their hopes on him-his veryappearance at this moment gave them hope!

"Henry..."

Though Henry was taken ill from stress by recent events, he rushedhere anyway because he heard about the board meeting, and wasworried that lan could not keep the board in line.

Even so, he was still very sick. He was very pale, and he would not bestanding if Moneypenny was not helping him.

On the other hand, the board did not care-their money was at stake.They swarmed Henry right away

"You're the head of the family. You have to give us something to workwith after what happened.”

Henry did not come unprepared, naturally.

Quincy had given him a call before she was arrested, insisting that shewould take responsibility for what happened to Light Group.

He also learned that lan had signed an agreement with her to thateffect. It additionally stated that she had made all company decisionsand was hence culpable for all consequences, including the Eastdawninvestment.

However, even though Henry showed the piece of paper in question toeveryone, they understood that Quincy was merely scapegoatingherself for her son's sake.

Obviously, that would not satisfy the board.

"Henry, surely you don't think this is over with just a scapegoat? Thecompany has suffered serious losses..."

“Well, who else would you want to take responsibility after whathappened? lan? Or perhaps me?"

Henry was still able to keep the board in line, and they were silent justas he continued, "None of us wanted this, but it happened anyway. Allwe can do is work together and weather this-if this is about losses, myfamily has suffered the most."

None of the board members could say anything against that.

The Jeffersons were the majority shareholders, which was why theyhad control over the company.

That was why none of them could deny what he was saying.

"May I offer a suggestion?" one of the board members asked just then.“What is it?" Henry asked.

'We think Isaac is the right man to lead us. What do you think?"Henry's gaze darkened.

He stayed silent-but it was no silent approval.

It was not as if he had never thought about it... but there was no goingback for him now!

He had burned all bridges when he chose to side with Greg's manner,inadvertently cutting his own means of escape.

It was even less possible for him to go begging to Isaac!

Eastdawn's debts amounted to over 2 billion, and because lan held80% of the shares, his debt was relative to that amount.

And with James keeping a keen eye on legal proceedings, lan andQuincy's agreement meant nothing, because James and lan'sagreement was signed before lan signed one with Quincy.

And Quincy was incarcerated and awaiting trial.

There was solid evidence implicating her role in murder. Even if Gregdid survive, Kathy was killed, and the fact that she was pregnant onlydoubled her guilt.

Given how it affected society as a whole, it would not end well forQuincy- especially not when Isaac himself saw to it.

And now, lan would be punished by law if he did not pay his debts,because the capital he played with was no laughing matter. He was theCEO of Light Group at the time, meaning that he was the company'srepresentative.

That in turn made the departments involved turn their crosshairs onLight Group.

As such, the board was getting more vocal as they voiced their wishesto bring Isaac back, but there was no way Henry could have put asidehis pride to beg the man!

Irene had just returned from the hospital when she saw James.

She was not actually surprised-he had been coming in and out of themansion so often lately that Tommy became accustomed to him.

The baby did not cry or pout even in James's arms, and was happilyfiddling with his little toy.

After washing her hands, Irene held out her hands. "I'll carry him."James passed Tommy to Irene and said, "When I get married and havea daughter, let's have our children get married."

Irene was left at a loss of words-Tommy was just a baby!

"Tut, tut..." Stan heard that from the door and pursed his lips. "Keepdreaming.”

James rolled his eyes at him. "I've been here for ages. What took youso long?’
