Chapter 204 There’s No Need To Hide It From Us (1/2)

Jean returned to her spot and seemed to be thinking about something. Suddenly she noticed that Maranda was glancing at her anxiously.

Jean waved her hand, gesturing for Maranda to come over silently.

Looking somewhat confused, Maranda pointed to herself. After Jean nodded her head, Maranda walked over to Jean.

”What's the matter?” Maranda asked in a low, discreet voice.

”You told me earlier that the Lei Group withdrew their money, right?” Jean asked in a serious tone, looking directly at Maranda.

”Yes, the source is reliable.” Maranda nodded confidently and then leaned towards Jean. She whispered, ”Don't tell anyone that it was my cousin who gave me the news.”

”Your cousin?” Jean asked, looking quite bewildered.

”My cousin is in the marketing department of his family's company. So he always gets the news first-hand and fast. It is said that Ethan Lei was taken back to the Imperial City after he was found. It was the current CEO of the Lei Group who took action to withdraw their money from our company. I was so worried, because there's a very high possibility that it's all true, ”

Maranda said with a look of helplessness.

”But boss didn't mention the Lei Group's withdrawal of money in the meeting room just a moment ago. If what you said is true, then how come our company hasn't reacted since that happened?” Jean asked, tilting her head slightly and appearing confused.

”That's exactly what I'm curious about. How did our company survive the crisis?” Maranda said, sharing Jean's thoughts.

Jean frowned. She suddenly recalled that her boss had glanced at her in the meeting room in an unusual, inexplicable way. What did that mean? John also appeared to be holding back his words. Jean began to realize that something was wrong.

Perhaps...

No way!

A thought came to her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. She shook her head, unwilling to believe that it could be true.

”Jean, did you figure it out?” Maranda asked excitedly, her eyes fixed on Jean, after noticing the complicated look on her face.
