?Chapter 1250:


    Outside, dusk draped the sky in blood-red streaks.


    Sadie had just wrapped up her final task for the day and was about to pack up when her office door flew open with a bang.


    Tina rushed in, panic etched across her face, her hair damp with sweat.


    “Sadie—bad news!” she gasped, trying to steady her breath.


    Seeing her so flustered, Sadie quickly poured water into a ss and handed it over.


    “Breathe. Tell me what happened.”


    Tina took it, not even minding how scalding it was, and gulped it down before she could speak clearly.


    “The old shareholders who dumped their stakes in Wall Group—they’ve all shown up. They’re downstairs, demanding answers… and they’ve dragged a swarm of reporters with them!”


    A jolt of surprise left Sadie momentarily stunned.


    Regret seemed to haunt those shareholders who had once sold their shares without a second thought for their own interests. Watching Wall Group’s stock climb, they now scrambled to stir up trouble, desperate to w back what they’d lost.


    Some people, it seemed, never found satisfaction—greed only ever demanded more.


    A subtle smirk flickered on Sadie’s lips, betraying her disdain.


    Tina caught the look and hurried to fill in the rest. “That’s not all—they’re saying exactly the same thing, like they rehearsed it. They say that you bullied them into selling so you could snatch up the whole Wall Group for yourself. It’s just disgusting!”


    A wave of anger swept over Tina, and color rushed to her cheeks.


    Without letting herposure slip, Sadie said, “First, call the police. I’ll go down and see for myself what’s going on.”


    In one smooth motion, she swept her coat from the back of her chair, pulling it on as she strode for the door.


    It took Tina a moment to process what had happened.


    hosts great stories


    A swarm of shareholders and reporters waited below, and Sadie, alone, would be walking into a hostile crowd.


    Anxious, Tina bolted after her, gging down the first administration employee she saw. “Hurry—call the police right now! Then get every security guard you can find to the front entrance!”


    She didn’t waste a second exining, breaking into a run for the elevators. The young man, startled, just stood frozen, unsure what to make of Tina’s urgency.


    Instinct soon kicked in. He crossed to the window and peered down, heart sinking as he spotted the chaos spilling across thepany’s main entrance.


    Realizing how serious things were, he jumped into action.


    Meanwhile, Sadie rode the CEO’s private elevator straight to the lobby. As soon as the doors slid open, she was greeted by a blinding storm of camera shes, the air alive with the relentless snap of shutters.
