The Gorgeous Substitute Wife of Mr. President

Lucas Hawk suspended the meeting, "If they want to terminate the cooperation, let them do so. Remember to recover the liquidated damages."

Cater Wood was stunned, "do you really want to terminate the contract? These projects are very important-"

"Don't worry. The progress of the projects will not be affected even after the contract is terminated." I will arrange someone to take over these projects." Lucas Hawk interrupted him. Cater Wood doubted him. He didn't know who else could help them, but he didn't inquire further. He nodded, "Yes, Sir."

He turned around and arranged the termination.

Half a day later, the news about the contract termination between major companies with the Hawk Group spread wildly on the internet.

As soon as the news spread, the stock price of the company, who was already red, fell even lower again.

"The Hawk Group is really over. Many companies will be in a mess if they terminate the contract."

"The damn Hawk company. I spent half of my hard-earned money in that company."

"Have your shares on the company crash?"

"Now all the money has gone for nothing. It's a grievous loss."

"Why do you still hold shares in The Hawk Company? Now, everyone is withdrawing their shares from that company. The price is not bad. If you don't sell them yet, you have to hurry."

After these different comments appeared on the internet, the major shareholders who originally was still calm, came in unison and asked to log in into the stock market.

Lucas Hawk got the news just after the meeting.

"It's okay. Let them withdraw their funding. Just focus on your job."

Lucas Hawk didn't care about the news at all. He arranged several things for Cater Wood to handle.

In the evening, when Lucas Hawk arrived home, the housekeeper came to inform him, "Young Master, Madam just sent someone to tell you that you can have your dinner in the main house tonight." Lucas Hawk nodded, "I see."

He went upstairs to change his clothes, then went to the main house.

"Devin, haven't you heard anything from the Industry and Commerce?"

In the main house, The Old Man Hawk was sitting on his chair and questioning Devin Hawk calmly. Recently, public had bad opinion toward The Hawk Company and he was worried.

"Not yet. It's coming soon, but I don't think it will be good news. So, let's get ready."Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

That moment, Mother Hawk saw Lucas Hawk coming in and called out, "Lucas, come over."

Lucas Hawk approached them and sat down on the sofa, "Hello Grandpa, Dad, and Mom."

"What's the current situation of the company? After the termination of the cooperation, will the projects continue to operate or shut down instead?"

Old Man Hawk was more concerned about the company, so he inquired to Lucas Hawk.

"Grandpa, don't worry. I have arrange people to take over those projects. It will have no impact on our internal."

Lucas Hawk explained that he didn't worry about what others were worrying about. The only thing he cared about was the mastermind behind the plan.

Old Man Hawk didn't know what Lucas Hawk was thinking, but he was relieved that it would not affect the company. However, he thought of what Devin Hawk just said and he started to worry again.

"Just now your father and I were talking about the Industry and Commerce. We were feeling that the result wouldn't be a good news. It may even lead to closure and rectification of the company. The deficit in the accounting book is also huge."

Lucas Hawk was silent for a moment. He hesitated for a while and finally failed to say what he really wanted to say, "No matter what the final result of the audit is, we can bear it."

He narrowed his eyes.

"Lucas, do you have any plan?" Old Man Hawk was curious.

"I know something, but I don't have conclusive evidence yet. I'll let you know when I have the exact evidence." Lucas Hawk didn't deny him.

Grandpa Hawk and the rest understood him.

Mother Hawk breathed a sigh of relieve, "Since Lucas said that it will be okay, then we don't have to worry about it. Let's have dinner. The meal is ready."

"Okay." Grandpa Hawk and Devin Hawk nodded and got up.

That time, Grandpa Hawk noticed a missing person, "Lucas, where is Nora?"

"She went home to the Davis."

Lucas Hawk didn't plan to talk further about her. So, he responded casually and walked to the dining room.

Grandpa Hawk frowned and looked at him. He noticed there was something wrong with Lucas Hawk.

Just as he wanted to stop Lucas Hawk, he heard Mother Hawk said, "I know that this woman cannot be relied on. She runs back home once something happens here."

Old Man Hawk frowned again. He planned to talk about it alone with Lucas Hawk later in his study.

Lucas Hawk planned to go home right after meal.

"Lucas, come to my study with me. I have something to ask you." said the old man.

Lucas Hawk looked sideways at the old man and nodded, "Okay."

Grandpa Hawk and Lucas Hawk sat down on the sofa once they came inside. The butler offered them tea.

"What is Grandpa going to ask?" Lucas Hawk asked with a cup of tea in his hand.

"Lucas, did you fight with Nora?"

"Why do you ask this?" Lucas Hawk frowned slightly while looking at the old man.

"I heard that Nora is often go home recently. Has she been staying home as well?"

Lucas Hawk was silent. He didn't know how to explain this to his grandpa.

His silence was misunderstood by his grandpa, "Lucas, are you angry with Nora because of my previous arrangement?" "No." he shook his head.

"If no, then why does Nora often go home?"

Lucas Hawk pursed his lips and asked, "Grandpa, how much do you know about Nora Davis and her family?"

The old man was stupefied, "What's the matter?"

"Just asking." Lucas Hawk smiled.

The old man frowned, "Is something wrong?"

"Something happened, but I don't know how to say it. Grandpa, don't worry about Nora Davis at the moment. When this time is over, I will explain everything to you."

Lucas Hawk looked at him solemnly.

The old man knew that he couldn't ask further question. He compromised, "Well, I won't bother you this time, but you will have to agree with me on one thing. You shall not bully Nora. She is a good girl." Lucas Hawk smiled satirically, "I know."
