Chapter 334

Henry was still the head of his family, and there was no one better to ask Isaac to return.

That was why the entire board pinned their hopes on him-his very appearance at this moment gave them hope!

’Henry..."

Though Henry was taken ill from stress by recent events, he rushed here anyway because he heard about the

board meeting, and was worried that Ian could not keep the board in line.

Even so, he was still very sick. He was very pale, and he would not be standing if Moneypenny was not helping him.

On the other hand, the board did not care-their money was at stake.

They swarmed Henry right away

'You're the head of the family. You have to give us something to work with after what happened."

Henry did not come unprepared, naturally.

Quincy had given him a call before she was arrested, insisting that she would take responsibility for what happened

to Light Group.

He also learned that Ian had signed an agreement with her to that effect. It additionally stated that she had made

all company decisions and was hence culpable for all consequences, including the Eastdawn investment.

However, even though Henry showed the piece of paper in question to everyone, they understood that Quincy was

merely scapegoating herself for her son's sake.

Obviously, that would not satisfy the board.

'Henry, surely you don't think this is over with just a scapegoat? The company has suffered serious losses..."

'Well, who else would you want to take responsibility after what happened? Ian? Or perhaps me?"

Henry was still able to keep the board in line, and they were silent just as he continued, "None of us wanted this, but

it happened anyway. All we can do is work together and weather this-if this is about losses, my family has suffered

the most."

None of the board members could say anything against that.

The Jeffersons were the majority shareholders, which was why they had control over the company.

That was why none of them could deny what he was saying.

"May I offer a suggestion?" one of the board members asked just then.

'What is it?" Henry asked.

'We think Isaac is the right man to lead us. What do you think?"

Henry’s gaze darkened.

He stayed silent-but it was no silent approval.

It was not as if he had never thought about it... but there was no going back for him now!

He had burned all bridges when he chose to side with Greg's manner, inadvertently cutting his own means of

escape.

It was even less possible for him to go begging to Isaac!

Eastdawn's debts amounted to over 2 billion, and because Ian held 80% of the shares, his debt was relative to that

amount.

And with James keeping a keen eye on legal proceedings, Ian and Quincy's agreement meant nothing, because

James and Ian's agreement was signed before Ian signed one with Quincy.

And Quincy was incarcerated and awaiting trial.

There was solid evidence implicating her role in murder. Even if Greg did survive, Kathy was killed, and the fact that

she was pregnant only doubled her guilt.

Given how it affected society as a whole, it would not end well for Quincy- especially not when Isaac himself saw to

it.

And now, Ian would be punished by law if he did not pay his debts, because the capital he played with was no

laughing matter. He was the CEO of Light Group at the time, meaning that he was the company's representative.

That in turn made the departments involved turn their crosshairs on Light Group.

As such, the board was getting more vocal as they voiced their wishes to bring Isaac back, but there was no way

Henry could have put aside his pride to beg the man!

Irene had just returned from the hospital when she saw James.

She was not actually surprised-he had been coming in and out of the mansion so often lately that Tommy became

accustomed to him.

The baby did not cry or pout even in James's arms, and was happily fiddling with his little toy.

After washing her hands, Irene held out her hands. "I'll carry him."

James passed Tommy to Irene and said, "When I get married and have a daughter, let's have our children get

married."

Irene was left at a loss of words-Tommy was just a baby!

’Tut, tut..." Stan heard that from the door and pursed his lips. "Keep dreaming."

James rolled his eyes at him. "I've been here for ages. What took you so long?’
