"Lisa... husband, quickly let Lisa know! Quickly get him to rescue Leo!" Mother Manoban hurriedly said, then she added, "And also that girl..."
She closed her eyes, mumbling in her trembling voice, "Thank goodness Leo isn't alone this time... At least, he won't be as scared with that girl around... I can't imagine if Leo was alone..."
Tears started falling out of her eyes.
She felt like killing herself when she thought about how she could have allowed this to happen again, about the magnitude of psychological trauma Leo would go through. and also if Jennie had not gone with him.
"It's me... It's my fault... I didn't protect Leo... Why didn't I hold onto Leo tightly? Why did I take Leo from Jennie just now? If Jennie had been holding onto Leo..." she was flooded with guilt.
Father Manoban did not say anything, but he was not feeling any better than her. If it had not been for his impatience to bond with the Guan family, they would not have come to Fahua Temple today and given the opponent a chance.
Diana helped her up carefully. "You shouldn't blame yourself, Aunty. It's not your fault. It's my fault... I was too shocked to react and didn't take Leo away in time..."
"Master, Madam, we shouldn't stay here too long! Let's go back and plan it out! Another second later means more danger to the Little Master!" Xing Wu quickly reminded them.
"Return! Quick!"
...
On the way back, Father Manoban could not reach Lisa's phone, so he ordered Xing Wu to go straight to the company.
The moment they got out of the car in the underground parking lot, they saw Lisa's special assistant Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng stepped out of his car while taking a phone call. He was grinning and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Cheng Feng!" he called out to him.
Cheng Feng hung up and looked at the elders and Diana in surprise. "President? Madam? Why are you all here this late?"
"Where's Lisa? Why isn't he picking up the phone?" Mother Manoban went up and demanded.
"CEO is working hard right now!" Cheng Feng reported to them excitedly. "President! The Kwon Innovative Investment Group is done for this time around!"
"What did you say?" he was stunned.
"The Kwon Innovative Investment Group had issues with a big order and they failed to deliver the goods up to the promised standard, so they needed to pay a huge penalty, but they've been using all their money to purchase our shares and have no ready cash now.
"If they want to keep the company, they have to sell whatever Manoban Corporation shares they have. They spent money several times more than the market value of these shares. If they sell them at a lower price because they need the money, they'll suffer a huge loss even if they manage to keep their company safe. Most importantly, their threat towards the Manoban Corporation will then be solved!"
"Furthermore, President, please look at the stock market..."
Cheng Feng opened the stock charts of the several shares Kwon Innovative Investment Group had invested in on his iPad. All of them started with a strong performance, but their stock was now declining sharply.
