The next day, the stock market had just opened.
In Evan Palmer’s office at the Carter Clan.
"Vice President Palmer, recently our subsidiary, Carter Automotive’s stock price has plummeted tremendously.
There are rumors outside that Carter Automotive is going bankrupt, which has affected the stock price of our Carter Clan."
Evan Palmer’s secretary told him.
"It’s all Carlos’s fault, that kid is not cut out for business, yet he stubbornly insists on launching some new project."
Evan Palmer glanced at the stock market index, stood up, and instructed his secretary.
"Drive me to Love & Kindness Hospital; the Old Master is being transferred today."
Evan Palmer sneered inwardly, the Old Master was staying at People’s Hospital which was quite isolated from news, and he probably hadn’t seen the news about the accident with Carter Automotive’s new car, and naturally, he wouldn’t know about the drastic drop in Carter Automotive’s stock price.
As the Old Master’s favored son-in-law, he needed to inform the Old Master about Carter Automotive’s situation in time.
When Evan Palmer arrived at Love & Kindness Hospital, he prepared to handle the Old Master’s transfer procedures.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he found both Carlos and Emily Parker were already there.
The Old Master was muttering,
"Why do I have to be hospitalized for recovery?
There’s nothing wrong with my health.
If it weren’t for you two coming over today, I wouldn’t have agreed to this transfer."
He was speaking when he saw Evan Palmer approaching with bags full of nutritional supplements.
Evan Palmer’s scholarly face was full of smiles, he dutifully moved closer to the Old Master, trying to assist him, but the Old Master waved him off, he could never quite warm up to his son-in-law, always feeling that he was like a smiling tiger.
"I don’t need you here, having the nurse and Carlos is enough."
The Old Master increasingly felt Carlos and Emily made a good couple; he still didn’t know that they had already married, still trying hard to pair them up.
So today, he specifically contacted both of them to come and keep him company during the transfer.
"Dad, I brought some nutritional supplements, I see that yours are all finished."
The Old Master was just about to mention that the nurse had said he needn’t eat those when,
Emily took over the nutritional supplements,
"Grandpa, let me carry these for you."
Hearing the word "Grandpa", the Old Master’s face brightened and everything else was forgotten.
At that moment, a nurse called Carlos over to sign some papers.
Emily, carrying the items, supported the Old Master as they headed to the ward.
Evan Palmer followed behind the Old Master.
He signaled his secretary with his eyes, and the secretary anxiously said,
"Vice President Palmer, do you really intend to keep hiding it?
The stock price of Carter Automotive has been doing terribly.
Because of that, there are rumors that our Carter Clan is failing too."
Upon hearing "Carter Automotive," the Old Master perked up.
Emily slightly frowned; Carlos never told the Old Master about news related to Carter Clan due to his health.
The Old Master turned and asked,
"Did you just mention Carter Automotive? Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NoveI★Fire.net
Didn’t I entrust Carter Automotive to Carlos as per my directions? That kid just told me earlier that the car factory is doing quite well."
The Old Master’s health wasn’t as good as before, and he didn’t care about Carter Clan as much as before, but Carter Automotive was different; he had founded that automotive business himself.
It was like another child to him, and he cared deeply about it.
The secretary bowed his head promptly, looking scared to speak the truth.
The Old Master shouted.
Then the secretary stammered,
"Old Master, please don’t get angry.
Vice President Palmer didn’t want you to worry.
Recently, there was a mishap during the trial run of our new car at Carter Automotive, which caused some casualties, leading to a total halt in Carter Automotive’s stock price.
Not only that, but it also dragged down Carter Clan’s stocks."
The Old Master’s face shifted shades.
His chest heaved violently, and his beard trembled incessantly.
Seeing the Old Master distressed, Emily quickly pressed a few acupoints on his arms with two fingers, which steadied his breathing a bit.
Emily glared at the secretary,
"Who allowed you to spout nonsense?"
"I’m not speaking nonsense, I am telling the truth,"
the secretary, relying on Evan Palmer’s backing, did not take Emily seriously.
"You still won’t admit you’re spreading lies."
Emily then took out her phone, opened a stock app, and handed it to the Old Master,
Evan Palmer sneered from the side, Emily really did not know the severity.
The Old Master was already in this state; how could he bear to look at stocks?
The moment he saw the completely halted, extremely red Carter Automotive stock, he might just faint.
Evan Palmer waited for the Old Master’s reaction, but unexpectedly, the Old Master squinted his presbyopic eyes at the screen for a while, his breathing stabilized a lot, and his worried expression suddenly relaxed,
"Ha ha, I knew I wasn’t wrong, that rascal Carlos still has some capabilities."
Evan Palmer was utterly confused by the Old Master’s reaction, and he leaned in closer to see for himself.
