Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart

After having a high fever, William was dazed. It took him a long time to understand what had happened.

"Mr. Duncan, you have had a high fever. The doctor said you must take a rest."

Lainey came in with a bowl of porridge. Why did things happen like this at the beginning of the New Year? Master Duncan had been ill and Mr. Duncan followed him. He had a high fever and didn't eat anything. No one could stand it after a few busy days.

"You are still young. If you have not recuperated completely, you will suffer from the illness when you are old."

Lainey said painstakingly. But William had not taken in a single word.

The shareholders' meeting would begin soon. He must attend it.

The underwater hotel project would be voted on during the shareholders' meeting. He had taken painstaking efforts on the project. Jane would mess it up on the meeting. "Be relieved. Madam will attend the meeting on behalf of you."

William almost fell in a faint. It was Jane whom he was worried about. He had spent five years of effort creating the project.

According to the rules of the Duncan Group, if the shareholders' meeting rejected the proposal, it could not be put on the agenda again in three years.

He was anxious. He called Jane. But Jane gave him her last hit.

"Jane, answer the phone!"

Before William finished his words, Jane hung up.

William was speechless.

Jane didn't understand the project. How could she be the opponent to the foxy shareholders? He must be present!

William wanted to pull the needle out of his hand and get off the bed. He was stopped by the bodyguards from outside.

"Madam had told us that Mr. Duncan must take a good rest. If he is disobedient..."

William was dazed. He vaguely heard Lainey talking to the bodyguards. He wanted to sit up. But he didn't have any strength.

"If he doesn't behave, just knock him out."

Lainey emphasized that it was what Madam said.

The bodyguards were speechless.

There was nothing to be a president. He had to be in bed as everybody when he was ill. He would even be stunned. What a miserable man.

On the other side, Frederic followed Jane's idea. He had already opened the live broadcasting software and typed in the words "shareholders' meeting of the Duncan Group". The idle netizens were enthusiastic about the meeting. The news spread quickly.

If it was an ordinary company, the netizens would not care at all. But the Duncan Group was different.

In a few minutes, the news of the shareholders' meeting being broadcasted was known by everyone in the circle. The Carts received the message the first time.

"Why isn't Mr. William here?"

Daisy opened the software and found that the excited netizens had already started to flood the screen.

The President of the Duncan Group is a man. Who is the beauty in the principal position?

--It seems to be Mrs. Duncan. She has introduced herself.

--Really? Her skin is smooth. It was said she had blocked the hurt of a knife for her husband. In that picture she was double-chinned.

--Will mistress appear on such an occasion?

Netizens did not understand what was said at the shareholders' meeting and began to comment on the shareholders. The number of people who came to watch the meeting continued to increase. Almost everyone praised Jane's appearance and wearing.

She was praised as an able woman in the new era. She was not pretentious and harsh. She must be good-natured for she had been smiling all the time.

They had always thought that wealthy women were dictators with high taste.

--You must be blind. Is she beautiful? She is an old woman who has a child.

The screen was full of compliments, which made Daisy unhappy. There had been enmity and malice between her and Jane since the jewelry charity dinner party. Because Daisy hadn't get the first place, her friends in the circle ridiculed her whenever they talked about the party.

In the upper-class circle, there was no real sisterhood. They were only together to compare with each other.

Daisy had always been the princess in the circle. She hadn't expected to be laughed at one day.

All of this was thanks to Jane.

--Upstairs, you are jealous.

When Daisy insulted Jane, some netizens immediately repined.

--I know Jane. If she hadn't climbed upon Mr. William's bed, she would not be able to marry him. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

On the Internet, everyone wore a mask and could slander people without fear.

Daisy wanted to let out her anger. After saying this, she was satisfied.

--You have spoken too far. Are you in the circle? You're just a rat in the sewer!

Lainey was watching the live broadcast. When she saw someone cursing Jane, she retaliated angrily.

She asked all the servants of the Duncan's to take out their phones. The praise for Jane occupied the screen again.

Daisy was not stupid either. She knew how to buy the water army. With the competition between the two sides, the popularity of the live broadcast had been soaring.

"In this shareholders' meeting, the proposal to build an underwater hotel at the southern island will be voted on."

The main event finally came. According to the rules, the project proposal would be passed if it was approved by at least two-thirds of the shareholders.

"Please allow me to express my stance first."

Tony stood up and expressed his disapproval.

The Duncan Group did take real estate as its main business. But it hadn't been involved in the development of tourism projects.

Investing rashly would not beneficial to the development of the Duncan Group.

"Yes, 40 billion isn't a big sum. But we shouldn't pay for Mr. William's dream."

There might be many difficulties in the construction of an underwater hotel. Once an accident occurred, it would not be a minor one. It would affect the reputation and the subsequent development of the Duncan Group.

"The Duncan Group is important to the Asian economy. If the stock price of the Duncan Group falls because of the underwater hotel, it will definitely bring about a financial storm in Asia. Have you ever thought about this?"

The financial storm could be solved with 40 billion dollars. Many people would lose their jobs. It would be a big shock.

Tony looked like a country bumpkin. After all, he was a shareholder of the Duncan Group. Everyone sitting there was capable.

The shareholders nodded repeatedly when Tony explained his reasons rationally and emotionally.

"That's right."

The Duncan Group shouldn't be self-willed in each investment. They should consider the risks.

Therefore, the Duncan Group had been steadily moving forward. It had never invested in projects with too much risk.

"Every coin has two sides. Please look about the benefits the underwater hotel will bring to the Duncan Group once it is built."

Andrew can't sit still anymore. He didn't want to be led by the nose by his opponent. Otherwise, in the end, he would be the only one left to support the project.

"I believe it is inappropriate."

Some shareholders were conservative. They disagreed with the projects with too much risk. What was more, technical problems and the long construction period were all not good for the development of the Duncan Group.

The Duncan Group had so many projects around the world. It was mainly involved in the retail industry and real estate. It should not invest too much in a risky project. "Higher risk, higher return."

Andrew pleadingly looked at Linda, the only female shareholder present. After reading the data, Linda believed that the project was potential and feasible.

"Linda, please help me."

Andrew prayed in a low voice, "William has had this project in his mind for a long time. He isn't present today for his illness. If it is disapproved, he won't have a chance in three years."

There might be many changes in three years. Perhaps some multinational groups would value the underwater hotels and start the construction ahead of time.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
