Chapter 158 Downfall

• "Hale Group's stocks are forced to suspend trading and delisted by the securities exchange. As a penalty, your company's stocks can never be listed again!" Erin, Nicholas, and every guest and media outlet in attendance were utterly dumbstruck.
• This was more devastating than bankruptcy. Regardless of its former might, when a company's stocks were forcefully delisted without any hope of reversal or future relisting, it was akin to a total expulsion from the business arena for Hale Group. This spelled out a complete disaster for Hale Group.
• Nicholas froze briefly, his mind blank. He was acutely aware of the glaring gap in the company's financial records— the staggering funds worth one billion and fifty million that Erin had transferred to Raven when working together. This was a grave financial breach, compounded by Erin's failure to resume cooperation with Raven.
