His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 618

Elmer had already learned about the predicament The Thomas Group was facing from the news online. But as Niamh ate her pizza, he didn’t mention a single word of it. Instead, he told her jokes while she ate. Elmer wasn't a man who enjoyed telling jokes, nor was he particularly good at it, but Niamh knew he was doing it for her. It wasn’t until she had finished both boxes of pizza that he finally asked, “The Thomas Group’s stock has plummeted. The shareholders are definitely going to demand an explanation. What are you planning to do?”

Niamh fell silent for a moment, then decided not to lie to him. “Although the board of directors was overhauled when I took over, many of the shareholders still have ties to the Thomas family…”

The mere mention of “the Thomas family” made Elmer frown.

“Just before I came upstairs, I got a call from Jonathan… He suggested I bring in a white knight.”

“Absolutely not!” Elmer’s objection was immediate and forceful. His voice was sharp. “Jonathan is up to no good! Suggesting you bring in capital from the Thomas family at a time like this? He’s clearly trying to take advantage of the crisis to get his hands on the company.”

“But Sharman Tech is continuously buying up our stock. I’m afraid…”

“Even if Sharman Tech is staging a hostile takeover, you think the Thomas family isn’t? Jonathan’s just trying to seize this opportunity to take back The Thomas Group. Nia, you can’t fall into his trap.” When Niamh went quiet, Elmer pressed on, “That company Jarrett worked for was collaborating with Jonathan from the start. For all we know, Jarrett was a corporate spy sent by Jonathan to push you into a corner, making it seem perfectly logical for you to accept a white knight.”
