Outcast Queen: Her Return from Hell novel Chapter 292

"Mr. Lu, don't rush," Silas smirked, completely ignoring their arrogance. "You are all highly respected shareholders of the company. I wouldn't dare play a joke on you. The truth is, a major event occurred tonight, and I need all of you to take a vote."

"What major event?"

"He called us all here, so it must be serious."

The shareholders began to murmur among themselves.

None of them could figure out what Silas was playing at.

"Wait! If this is so important, where is Pierce? And why hasn't Arthur Sterling shown up? What is going on here?"

Suddenly, the entire room realized how dire the situation was.

For a meeting of this magnitude, Pierce was suspiciously absent. Even if Pierce couldn't make it, Arthur should have stepped in to take charge.

Instead, Silas was running the show.

While Silas held a small percentage of company shares, it was nothing compared to the heavyweights in the room.

He was mostly viewed as a mid-level director who held no real authority.

"This is entirely about Pierce and my father, Arthur," Silas sighed, forcing a look of deep sorrow. "I just received word that Pierce was ambushed. He's severely injured and missing."

"My father suspected Elysian Manor was involved and went alone to demand answers, but now... we've lost contact with him too."

The room erupted in shock.

Who was Pierce? He was The Reaper of Cloudhaven. Who would dare touch him?

And with Arthur also seemingly in danger, these two disasters combined were enough to shatter the foundation of the Sterling Group.

Panic set in immediately.

For years, Pierce had governed the company with an iron fist, driving their profits through the roof.

Now, with their core leader gone and the patriarch missing, the stock prices would undoubtedly plummet the moment the news broke.

"Silas, what do we do about this?"
