The Twisted Obsession-Chapter 251: Unfortunate events

As they settled back into their seats, Remo took a deep breath, preparing to share his news. "Abby, there’s something I need to tell you. I’ve been working on something to help with our situation."

Abby looked at him curiously. "What is it?"

Remo leaned forward, his voice low and serious. "I’ve orchestrated a series of business failures for the companies under your uncle’s control. This will make the stakeholders angry and put pressure on him."

Abby’s eyes widened in surprise. "How did you manage that?"

Remo explained, his tone calm and methodical. "Your uncle’s businesses are vulnerable in several areas. I identified the weakest points—supply chain issues, customer satisfaction, and financial mismanagement. Then, I exploited those vulnerabilities.

"First, I arranged for key suppliers to delay shipments, causing production slowdowns and unmet deadlines. This created immediate tension with clients who rely on timely deliveries."

Abby nodded, impressed by the thoroughness. "That must have caused a lot of backlash."

"It did," Remo continued. "Next, I targeted their customer service. I hired people to lodge numerous complaints, both real and fabricated, about their products and services. This was amplified by negative reviews online, which damaged their reputation."

"That’s brilliant," Abby said, leaning closer to examine the reports.

"Then, I focused on their financial stability," Remo said, pointing to a series of graphs. "I made sure that certain payments were delayed, causing cash flow problems. This was coupled with strategic investments that turned out to be duds, further straining their resources."

Abby looked at him, a mixture of admiration and concern in her eyes. "You really went all out. But won’t this be traced back to us?"

Remo shook his head. "I covered our tracks. Everything was done through intermediaries and shell companies. It will look like a series of unfortunate coincidences rather than a coordinated attack."

Abby exhaled slowly, absorbing the enormity of what Remo had done. "This is going to make a lot of people very angry with my uncle. It might force him to make mistakes or even sell off some of his assets."

"Exactly," Remo said, his eyes gleaming with determination. "We need him to be desperate, to make rash decisions. That’s when we’ll strike and take control."

Abby reached out and squeezed his hand. "Thank you, Remo. You’ve done so much for me. I don’t know how I can ever repay you."

Remo smiled, his expression softening. "You don’t need to repay me, Abby. We’re in this together. Your fight is my fight."

Remo outlined the final phase of his plan. "Once the stock prices of your uncle’s companies start to plummet, I plan to buy up the shares. This will allow us to gain significant control without him realizing until it’s too late." freewebnoveℓ.com

Abby leaned in, her interest piqued. "How will you manage that without drawing attention to yourself?"

Remo smiled, anticipating the question. "We’ll use a network of smaller investors, all acting independently but in concert with our overall strategy. By spreading the purchases across various accounts and entities, it will look like a natural market reaction to the company’s declining performance."

Abby nodded, seeing the brilliance in the plan. "And once we have enough shares, we can influence decisions from the inside."

"Exactly," Remo said, his voice filled with confidence. "We’ll be able to call for votes, push for changes, and ultimately, undermine your uncle’s control. He won’t know what hit him."

Abby felt a surge of hope and determination. "This could really work. If we play our cards right, we could force him out and take over his empire."

Remo squeezed her hand reassuringly. "We will. But we need to stay vigilant. Your uncle is not going to go down without a fight, and we have to be prepared for anything."

Abby’s eyes hardened with resolve. "I’ve spent too long being afraid of him. It’s time to take control of my own destiny."

Remo nodded, his expression serious. "We’ll do it together. Step by step, we’ll dismantle his power and take back what’s rightfully yours."

James Harrison paced his opulent office, his face a mask of frustration and barely contained fury. His manager, a young woman named Sarah, stood nervously by the door, a stack of reports clutched tightly in her hands.

"Mr. Harrison," she began hesitantly, "the latest reports from our subsidiaries have come in, and it’s not looking good."

James whipped around to face her, his eyes blazing. "What do you mean it’s not looking good? Speak clearly, Sarah!"

Sarah swallowed hard, her hands trembling as she handed over the reports. "Our supply chains are severely disrupted. Key shipments have been delayed or canceled altogether. Clients are pulling out due to missed deadlines, and customer complaints are skyrocketing."

James snatched the reports from her, scanning them quickly. His scowl deepened with every page he turned. "How did this happen? We had contracts in place, guarantees. This shouldn’t be possible!"

Sarah took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. "It seems that several of our suppliers have had unforeseen issues on their end. It’s all very coincidental, sir."

"Coincidental my ass," James muttered, throwing the reports onto his desk. "And the financials? How bad is it?"

Sarah bit her lip, dreading this part. "Our cash flow is critically low. We’ve had significant delays in incoming payments, and some of our recent investments have not panned out as expected. We’re operating at a loss, Mr. Harrison."

James’s face turned a dangerous shade of red. "This can’t be happening. Not now, not after everything I’ve done to secure our position." He slammed his fist on the desk, causing Sarah to jump. "Who’s behind this? Someone must be pulling the strings."

"We’ve looked into it, but so far, we’ve come up empty-handed," Sarah said, her voice barely above a whisper. "It all seems to be a series of unfortunate events."

"Unfortunate events," James repeated, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "This is sabotage. Someone is trying to destroy me."

He began to pace again, his mind racing. "What about the stocks? How are they holding up?"

Sarah hesitated, knowing this would be the worst news of all. "The stock prices have plummeted, sir. We’re seeing massive sell-offs, and the value of the company has dropped significantly."

James stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "Who’s buying the shares?"

Sarah shook her head. "We can’t identify any single buyer. It’s a mix of small investors and anonymous accounts. It looks like a natural market reaction, but..."

"But it’s not," James finished for her, his voice a low growl. "This is a coordinated attack."

He turned back to his desk, grabbing the phone and dialing a number with shaking hands. "Get me our legal team, now. We need to investigate every angle, every possible leak. I want to know who’s behind this, and I want their heads."

Sarah nodded and quickly left the room to make the call, leaving James alone with his thoughts. He stared out the window, his mind a whirlwind of rage and desperation. Someone was trying to take him down, and he had a sinking feeling he knew exactly who it was.

"Abby," he muttered under his breath. "You think you can outmaneuver me? You have no idea who you’re dealing with."
