A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 123

No matter whether it is planned or an accident, it is Louis who jumped on her to protect her, which led to the injury of his legs, so she should be partly responsible for his injury.

Lily is so firm that Jessie couldn’t persuade her, and she says, "If you need me, just tell me! Even though I'm only a planner, I'm still smart."

Lily couldn't help laughing. "Yes."

Jessie has a quick mind. Last time she helped Lily draw the map and help the Smith Group a lot.

When they get back to the apartment, it is 5,00 in the morning. Jessie is so sleepy that she has to sleep for two hours, but Lily doesn't feel sleepy.

As soon as she closes her eyes, she would think of the conversation in the car with Louis, and the car rushed out in the opposite, and then Louis jumped to protect her.

"Lily, I know how smart you are. I trust you."

"If something happens to me, please help me take care of the Smith Group."

"..."

His words and his appearance are always lingering in Lily's mind, and her heart is convulsed. Gradually, she finds that Louis's reaction was too calm to panic and fear when the accident happened.

Even though when he asked her to take care of the Smith Group, he remains convulsed and is sure she would do as he says.

A terrible thought crosses Lily's mind, but soon she gets rid of it.

Louis is always calm when facing any crisis.

She's just freaking out.

Lily lies in bed thinking for a long time, staring at the diamond castle, thinking of the morning headlines and how the Smith Group would react to it.

After daybreak, Lily gets up, washes herself, changes the medicine, and puts on a suit.

After going to the kitchen to get breakfast ready, Jessie gets up.

When seeing Lily look so smart, Jessie says, "Wow, are you getting back on your feet?"

Lily just says, "Come on, there is a lot of work to do today."

After driving to the Smith Group, Lily finds out that the situation is worse than she thought. Numerous media and reporters block the exit doors of the Smith Group. Some people are carrying cameras to broadcast live.

Lily pulls into the underground garage and parks the car. Jessie has been tweeting about the news and telling her what she's seen on all the news sites.

The headlines are all about Louis's car accident.

"That's too bad. The Smith Group's stock has fallen to eight dollars since last night." Jessie shows Lily the chart and says anxiously, "Lily, can you do it?"

"I have to bite the bullet." Lily straightens her tie in front of the elevator mirror.

She dislikes suits, which are too restrictive, but now she finds suits could indirectly make her feel confident.

After arriving at the planning department, Jessie leaves and repeatedly warns Lily to be careful. As the elevator slowly ascends to the top floor and the doors opens on both sides, Meghan greets her, "Lily, good morning."

As Soon as Lily gets out of the elevator, Meghan follows her to her office. "Mr. Louis says Regulators can deal with everything in the Smith Group. Now that Mr. Louis is not here, everything happens would be reported to you."

Lily nods and keeps walking.

There are only a few people in the Regulators Department. Some of them have not returned from the vacation. Knowing about Mr. Louis's car accident, they stand up immediately as they see Miss Lily, as if to ask her what to do now.

Lily just gestures to them and takes Meghan into the manager's office.

"Lily, here are the papers and other items from the car." Meghan puts the crumpled paper and gift box on the table. "The paper is a little crumpled, but is not wet from the rain."

"In addition, the police have checked the monitor and arrested the driver who was driving the wrong way. The driver was drunk driving and hit and ran away. He is currently imprisoned, but has not been sentenced."

Meghan sorts out everything in a businesslike manner. Lily compliments her composure. Taking the box, she opens it and the French Néonatal comes to her eyes.

Does it refer to her, or the Smith Group?

Lily runs her fingers over the diamond plate, then takes it out of the gift box and wears it around her neck.

Instead of checking the documents, she tells Meghan, "The driver is not just hit-and-run. He is suspected of intentional homicide. He wants to kill the CEO of the Smith Group."

"Contact several media, ask them to spread the news on the Internet, then contact the Smith Group's lawyers and watch the outcome in court."

"Yes, I'll get in touch." Meghan bends over and says again, "I received news this morning that a food company owned by the Smith Group is suspected of using expired ingredients and producing in large quantities. They have been shipped and the food factory involved has been closed down. This has been widely reported in the media and is unlikely to be suppressed."

How does food problem come out at this time?

Lily doesn’t believe that so many things are just coincidences. She just sneers and asks Meghan to deal with the accident first.

After Meghan leaves, Lily goes out to have a meeting with her colleagues at her department. She has them gone through all the department files and calls back the colleagues who are on leave. They're short of staff now.

Louis’s car accident has sent a wave of panic through the Smith Group.

Not only Lily's department is busy, but the PR department is also busy. They hold a press conference and try to explain to the media that Louis just had a fender bender and will be back in a few days.

However, there are a few troublemakers among the reporters, saying that they inquired in the hospital that Louis is still unconscious, and whether he could stand up in the future is still a problem. They ask the Smith Group Public Relations department why they lied.

No matter how powerful the public relations department is, it can't resist the troublemakers' harsh questions and is messed up by them Soon, the news coverage is quickly posted on major news websites.

In just one afternoon, the shares of the Smith Group fell by nearly 15 dollars, causing huge loss of $30 billion.

Soon, Miss Olivia arrives at the Smith Group.

Miss Olivia is not a shareholder in the Smith Group, so it's clear why she would come here. Lily leaves her work and goes to receive her, but she sees Katherine talking to Miss Olivia from a distance down the stairs.

When Katherine is just transferred to the Smith Group as the planning manager, she looks aggressive, but very low-key. But now she is really aggressive and wears ambition on her face.

Lily greets her, "Miss Olivia."

Olivia, who is kind and gentle but doesn't seem to see Lily, gets into the elevator while talking to her niece, Katherine.

Lily receives the message from Meghan, saying that half of the shareholders of the Smith Group come to hold the shareholders' meeting, and all senior executives are allowed to attend.

Lily takes another elevator to the high-rise conference room.

Most of the shareholders of the Smith Group are to get dividends. Now the general meeting of shareholders allows high-level managers to participate in the meeting, which means they are going to change the CEO.

After all, Mr. Smith, the chairman of the board, is still in the hospital, so the shareholders have the final say.

After Lily swipe-cards into the high-level meeting room, the vast and spacious meeting room are filled with people. Many of them are unfamiliar to Lily. Samson and Mr. Gill are also there.
