Chapter 266 Interrogation
Just after he finished his words, the board members
"What do you mean? You think the company belongs to you only? Ridiculous!"
"You've ruined this company! We're all doomed!"
"I think we need your explanation, Horace."
"Lawyer's letters just come flooding in. Do you know that? I can't believe it is you!‘'
…
All other people present couldn't suppress their anger and began to interrogate Horace. It had never
occurred to them that it was Horace who leaked their clients' information.
"I couldn't tell you why I did that. But I can promise you I will get our company back on track. I just need
some time." It was his fault after all and Horace now had no choice but to apologize to the them.
Thought the board members were quite angry at Horace, they knew that Horace was the biggest
shareholder of Solrace. The shares held by him was more than those by them combined. They could
do nothing with it.
After another round of useless discussion, they finally left as Horace had promised to them for several
times he would deal with the problem.
"They didn't say a word when they enjoyed their dividend. Now they are just creating more troubles for
us at this moment," after they had left, Isaac said with rage.
"That's human nature and it's my fault after all," Horace closed his eyes exhaustedly while pressed his
fingers on his temple.
How could he make it?
…
Clara didn't know what happened to Solrace until tomorrow. She had been quite tired these days and
she didn't have the time to check such messages online.
Today on her way to the toilet, she heard two nurses where chatting. And she heard them mentioned
"Solrace".
And then Clara stopped to listen to their words.
"You think how long Solrace could hang on?"
"Maybe just in a few days it would collapse. My cousin worked at Solrace. She told me a lot of clients of
the company have withdrawn their money. I used to be quite jealous of her job. But now she might lose
it soon."
"I didn't expect such a large company would collapse so soon. Do you know how much Solrace's stock
price has fallen? I felt it quite lucky I've already sold my shares. Otherwise…"
As they walked away, Clara was shocked by what she had just known. What happened to Horace's
company?
She rushed back to her wardroom and checked the news online about Solrace.
"A Crisis of Confidence for Solrace", "How to Prevent Solrace from Bankruptcy", "Horace Denied that
Solrace is Going Bankrupt", "Solrace Will Go through Bankruptcy Proceedings Soon", "See How
Horace Would Turn the Tables" …
Seeing all kinds of social media were teeming with news about Solrace, Clara couldn't believe her
eyes.
She clicked one of those headlines and read the article through.
"The information of all clients of subsidiaries of Solrace was leaked and that brought about an
unprecedented crisis of confidence to Solrace. According to a board member of the company…"
"Information leakage?" Clara murmured after she read the article. She had seen such news before and
she knew a crisis of trust was a heavy blow to a company.
Such information should be confidential. How could Horace be so uncareful?
Clara then checked other users' comment on the news.
"It's ridiculous for me. I didn't expect Solrace's firewall to be so weak."
"I'm totally crazy. Now how could I sell my shares?"
"I've worked with a lot of companies and Solrace is the first I saw which has leaked almost all clients'
information."
"Horace is just talking shit and making useless promises. He doesn't even care about us shareholders."
"I've just signed a contract with Solrace. Damn it! Now I couldn't even get my money back."
…
She browsed through the comments and found that almost everyone was cursing Solrace for the
problem. No one was willing to say something for Solrace or Horace.
Clara couldn't help but feeling worried about Horace. He must be quite busy dealing with such a
problem these days. Why didn't he tell her? Now Clara wanted to find him right now.
Clara quickly took off her patient's uniform and ran outside her room without even changed her shoes.
But then she ran into someone at the corner.
"Sorry, sorry," Clara apologized quickly without looking at the one who she ran into.
But before she went away, the man took her arm and said in a low voice, "Where are you heading?"
Clara instantly turned around as she heard the familiar voice.
"Horace!"
Noticing the bewilderment on Clara's face, Horace said a bit unpleasantly, "You haven't recovered yet.
Your cut might be torn apart if you run like this."
Now Clara had totally forgot her cut and she took a step over and took Horace's hand, "What happened
to your company? Why was clients' information leaked?"
Horace's face turned a bit pale as she mentioned his company, "Oh, so you knew it."
"Yes, I did. Why didn't you inform me? I was scared when I saw the news. Could you tell me what had
happened?" now Clara was eager to hear Horace's explanation.
Horace didn't answer her question and helped her get back to her room, "Have a good rest here. Don't Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
worry."
"How could I? It's about your career and I certainly…"
"Just don't bother."
As Horace fixed his solemn eyes on her, Clara didn't know what to say. She just followed Horace back
to her wardroom. But worry was written all over her face.
