Chapter 467: Chapter 467: No Need for Nobility, Only Tactics (7)
“The estate in the news just now was overseen by your father, and this big accident happened. Gregory’s Enterprises must be in deep trouble now… What’s even more important is…” Lady Gregory hesitated for a moment before continuing, “That estate was a collaboration between Pristine’s Enterprises and your father. Steve funded all the capital… so I’m afraid Pristine’s Enterprises will also be implicated… Your father must have fainted from the shock when he received the news just now…”

“Besides, that construction company had been working reliably with your father for many years. Who would have thought that this time they would cut corners and produce a poorly constructed building!”

On the way to the hospital, Ruby Gregory sat silently next to her mother, her mind was a mess.

She always thought her family’s business was doing so well because of her close relationship with Steve Burton. She didn’t realize until now, hearing it from her mother, that Steve had actually invested such a huge sum of money in their company.

Now that such a sudden and unexpected accident has occurred, not only did Steve lose all his investment, but it also implicated Pristine’s Enterprises…

The news was spreading rapidly on the internet all over. With Pristine’s Enterprises being such a big corporation, the news was focused more on it than Gregory’s Enterprises. Despite not being directly responsible for the project, Pristine’s Enterprises faced quite a lot of repercussions due to the accident.

Ruby, sitting in the car, looked up the news on the internet. The reporting was using Pristine’s Enterprises as a selling point for this incident. As a result, the stock price of Pristine’s Enterprises plunged in just a few minutes.

With her phone clenched tightly in her hand, she turned toward her mother and said, “Mom, I want to hold a press conference right now to clarify this accident has nothing to do with Pristine’s Enterprises. It’s an issue with Gregory’s Enterprises only.”

“But in doing so, it might be impossible to save Gregory’s Enterprises…” Lady Gregory hesitated before nodding, “Okay then, I’ll go to the hospital to see your father; you go hold the press conference. With you stepping up to clarify, Pristine’s Enterprises can remain unharmed. This would show that we’re not dragging them into our problems, and your marriage with Steve won’t be affected. Besides, as long as Pristine’s Enterprises is doing well, there might still be hope for us after you marry Steve…”

Lady Gregory patted Ruby’s hand and said, “Ruby, you’ve thought this through better than me.”

Ruby forced a smile without saying anything. She hadn’t thought as far ahead as her mother.

She didn’t even consider whether her marriage with Steve would face any turmoil due to this accident. The only thing on her mind at that moment was not wanting to cause any problems for Pristine’s Enterprises and Steve.

–

On Monday morning, all shareholders attended Pristine’s Enterprises’ meeting, so Steve set his phone to mute.

He noticed Edward Woods waiting anxiously outside the conference room, constantly checking his watch as the meeting was nearing its end. Frowning, Steve paused the meeting.
