章 437: Cox Industries (8)

Stacey waited for Timothy to come back from the study for what seemed forever. Lindsay and Scarlet were on the sofa, playing some online game on their phones.

Timothy came back from the study with a blank expression. He got himself another full glass of whiskey and plopped on a one-seater sofa chair. He didn't care that some of his drink got spilled on a fine tan fabric of the armrest. He watched as the material absorbed every drop.

Stacey sat across from Timothy and stared at him, waiting for him to speak. Anxiousness in her was rising, and she was afraid to ask what he found out. His expression was not good.

After some time, he sighed. "Company is gone." This was his biggest pain. He lost his company, position that carried prestige. And he was humiliated. That was the worst part.

"We can get it back, right?" Stacey blurted out. She was not sure if she tried to comfort her husband or to see if getting the company back is possible.

"They are shutting it down. It's gone."
