CHAPTER 70: BACKUP PLAN

The KSAN Co. released a statement regarding the issue about their new product which is the 'Beau collection'. Aside from releasing a public apology towards the Enchanteur chemicals, they also pulled out their products from the market.

Such a big company would never dare to do that since it can greatly affect their image. And knowing Mr. Jack Mo, he wouldn't back down so easily. But why did he suddenly lay down his arms without a fight? Marcus was in deep thought as soon as he finished watching the latest news.

As for Jade, she didn't even finish her food because she has to answer a lot of calls. Different media outlets are now calling them to get Marcus' opinion about the matter. 

"Mr. Hanes, even our customer service lines were cueing right now. I'm sure they won't stop unless they would hear something from you."

"Tell them to wait for our press conference. That would be two days from now." Marcus voiced.

"Two days from now?" Sonny didn't understand why Marcus wanted to prolong the conference when he can obviously do it this afternoon.

"I just need to confirm something before I release a statement." Marcus replied. "Do not mention it to Jade as well."

"Yes, Mr. President." Sonny left as soon as he received the order.

"Mr. Mo, what are you planning?" He was in deep thought when his phone suddenly buzzed. It's the chairwoman calling. She must have seen the news by now.

"Grandma…" He voiced as soon as he picked up his phone.

"Marcus, I saw the news. Did you do something that made him changed his mind?"

"No, I never even had the chance to show the evidence that they stole our formulas."

"Then something might have happened. Be careful and be vigilant, Jack Mo isn't the kind of person who throw in the towel without giving a fight."

"Don't worry too much grandma. I will handle this" He assured the old woman.

"By the way… Uhm, these past few weeks… Did you observe something different around your surrounding? Maybe someone tailing you?"

Marcus didn't understand why his grandmother was asking him a weird question. Was she worried that Mr. Mo might have sent someone to harm him?

Marcus chuckled tauntingly. "Don't worry Grandma, even if they send thugs to harm me, they won't succeed anyway."

Suzette heaved a heavy sigh and Marcus could sense her uneasiness in her tone.

"That's good then. Take care always."

Suzette hanged up immediately. He was not pertaining to Jack Mo when she asked the young man. She was worried that Barry might be tailing his son since he arrived in the country. What will she do if Marcus learnt about his father? Dang it! She's running out of time.

ON THE OTHER HAND, Jack Mo, the KSAN Co. CEO, was sulking inside his office after releasing a public apology for the Enchanteur Chemicals. Also, his secretary was flooded with a lot of calls. The investors were probably in chaos at the moment. 

Now he's preparing himself to lose billions because of his actions!

Why did he even succumb to Barry's plan in the first place? Now he's regretting his decision.

And speaking of the devil, he just entered his office without knocking.

"I knew you would be acting like this that's why I came to see you." Barry went straight to sit on his favorite couch.

Jack Mo didn't say a word. He's more than upset at the moment.

"Didn't I told you not to worry?"

"You're not in my position that's why it's easy for you to say that." He snorted.

"I understand how you're feeling right now, but I assure you, you won't lose that much. And even if you do, I'll make sure you'll be compensated seven times." Barry emitted a confident glow.

"What are you thinking?"

"Call for an executive meeting. I'm sure they're waiting for your explanation too."

"And?"

"If you allow, I would like to speak during the meeting. I'll make sure to maintain the peace among the boards." He smirked when he thought of his plans.

Jack Mo studied the man carefully. He's becoming vicious as days passes by. Would it really be okay to trust him one more time?

"It was I who told you to back off but I didn't suggest it without a backup plan. Didn't I tell you before? I have the best backup plan." He smirked sarcastically.

"I know you still have an issue about trusting me and I don't blame you for that. But I will surely work hard to earn your trust once again." Barry uttered as he stood up. "Then I should be going. The renovation of my new office should be done by now. See you later." He sneered before leaving the old man.

******************

She heaved a sigh of relief. 

Looks like she and her family would be safe now. Seeing how the KSAN Co. gave up on the Beau Collection, Jackie was relieved from the fear she's been keeping the past few days. 

"Mother, I'm so glad that I trusted the right people. I couldn't imagine what would happen to us if I betrayed my company." Joy was evident in her tone as she talks to the unconscious woman. "Mother, the KSAN Co. gave up. We won!"

"Mom, you should wake up now. Mr. Hanes said that a heart is already available for you. Can you imagine my superior to arrange everything for you? For us? Also, Father will be released next week. Good thing Mr. Hanes gave him the best Lawyer in the country."

She teared up as she recalled how lucky she was. She never thought that her loyalty would be repaid tremendously. 

"I will surely repay their goodness someday." She made a strong resolve to serve Mr. Hanes and the company at all cost.

Unknown to her, someone was plotting an evil scheme against her and her family.

The man sneered in contempt while looking at a specific room from the outside.

"If you think you could get away from what you did to me, then you're wrong. I'll make sure to ruin your life just as you have ruin mine!" He was gritting his teeth in anger.

"I will never stop unless you pay it with your own blood!"
