After Katelyn took control of the Wheeler Group, the weight of managing so many employees fell on her shoulders. She had to keep the company running smoothly. What shocked her was how well Neil had handled the Wheeler Group all these years. There were barely any financial problems, both within the company and externally. It was clear that Neil had an exceptional knack for business. Despite her dislike for Neil, Katelyn couldn’t ignore this truth.

Like any other day, Katelyn arrived at the Wheeler Group headquarters. The moment she stepped out of the elevator, her new assistant, Cassie Miller, called her.

Katelyn looked at the phone but chose not to answer, picking up her pace as she headed toward the CEO’s office. Just as the call was about to end, Katelyn noticed Cassie in the office.

The moment Cassie saw Katelyn, she quickly spoke up, her voice filled with worry.

“Ms. Bailey, something major has happened.”

Katelyn furrowed her brow as she walked toward the desk, her tone turning serious.

“What’s going on?”

Cassie rushed over, handing her a document with a trembling hand.

“Please take a look at this. There’s a mysterious consortium buying up our shares.”

A mysterious consortium?

Katelyn was taken aback. Why would such an unknown group suddenly show interest in their company? It didn’t make sense to buy up Wheeler Group’s shares right now. The company was thriving, with business booming on all fronts. Anyone trying to purchase shares would be paying a steep price.

As Katelyn flipped through the document, Cassie quickly added, “And just this morning, we’ve seen a huge wave of order cancellations. Our partners are even willing to pay penalties to break their contracts.” In that instant, Katelyn realized why the mysterious consortium had chosen this moment to act. Once they started buying up shares, it would send a signal to the retail market and partners that something was seriously wrong, making them think the Wheeler Group was on the verge of collapse.

It was natural for people to cut their losses when things went wrong. This situation couldn’t be avoided. As retail partners pulled out and canceled orders, the value of the shares would inevitably drop. This would give the mysterious consortium the perfect opportunity to take control. Considering their ability to manipulate the situation, it was clear that this consortium had significant power.

Katelyn quickly stood up and ordered Cassie, “Set up an emergency shareholders’ meeting right away.”

The first thing to do was calm the shareholders and deal with all the cancellations from both retail and partners. Every move had to be made quickly.

Cassie nodded without hesitation.

“Understood.”

With the chaos surrounding the Wheeler Group, the shareholders wasted no time in showing up, all demanding answers from Katelyn. If she didn’t give them a convincing explanation, they could start dumping their shares for a fraction of their worth.

Katelyn spent the entire day at the office, handling the crisis, without taking even a moment to eat.

The office was empty by the time the last employee left, and darkness had already settled outside.

Just then, Katelyn’s phone started ringing. She glanced at the screen— it was Vincent. Without hesitation, she picked up the call.

“There’s something off about this mysterious consortium,” Vincent stated.
