Chapter 2385:

“There’s only one person I know who is likely to persuade Annabel. It’s already a dead end with the way we’re going, but even a sliver of effectiveness would go a long way.”

That was when Flora understood what he was trying to say. It hadn’t crossed her mind before, not because she was foolish, but because her panic had momentarily slowed her thinking.

She hurried off to see Bruce, knowing how effective his intervention could be in this matter. After much pleading from her, Bruce had no choice but to agree.

He didn’t like the way things were going with Rupert’s company, so he decided to meet Annabel and talk to her. He sincerely hoped he could convince her and work out a solution that would be best for both parties.

His sincere approach might be the one thing that could save Rupert’s company from the depths of bankruptcy.

However, Annabel had already made up her mind. She could not afford to change it. She did not want to meet with Bruce, for fear he might talk her into backing down.

She resolved not to see him, using various excuses to avoid contact. The pain from the past ran so deep that she felt no affection for them at all.

Bruce waited for her until the close of work before finally leaving her company.

Nonetheless, Annabel did not back down. She instructed her subordinates to acquire the remaining shares and even went so far as to contact some of the shareholders herself.

In just a few days, Annabel’s team had rounded up most of the scattered shares from outside shareholders.

However, not everyone was ready to cash out their stocks yet.

The current price was simply too low.

Those who considered selling felt they might still have a slim chance of survival.

They were not facing a total loss, but they were clinging to that last shred of hope and choosing to wait.

They hoped for a miraculous turnaround, a moment when they could cash in their shares without regret.

Despite their nerves and apprehension, they eventually made their decisions.

Seeing this, Annabel figured it was time to make her move.

It was a shot at keeping hope alive, no matter how slim.

Without that final push, even the onlookers online and the hesitant shareholders might not take action.

Annabel’s company then dropped the bomb: they were officially intending to acquire Rupert’s company.

As expected, this announcement sparked a flurry of rumors.

“You know what? It’s like Annabel is trying to save Rupert’s sinking ship. Without her, it would be gone by now!”

“That’s just Annabel being herself. She always has a good heart. We’re behind her all the way.”

Online, everyone had their own take on the issue. Some were fans of both Annabel and Rupert and crossed their fingers for the company’s survival.

With Annabel stepping in, they were thrilled.

Others took a more rational approach, carefully weighing the situation before commenting.

No matter where they stood, people and the media were glued to the unfolding drama.

Everyone was on standby, hoping for good news, especially those who still held shares.
