Just as he was about to leave the country, Jeremy was informed that, until the company went public, he was barred from traveling abroad. However, if he did not seek Iris and Hailey to explain the situation, there was no way the IPO could succeed in the company’s current state.Hailey had blocked all contact with him, so he could not reach her at all. Eventually, he managed, with great effort, to get Iris’s private contact information, and he called her repeatedly. Alas, nobody answered. He even sent text messages and emails, but there was no reply. Despair crept in, slowly gnawing at him. He could not just sit there and do nothing, watching the company’s IPO plan crumble before his eyes.The financial officer reminded him, “Mr. Fisher, we need to be proactive. Since the last audit failed, we should approach another firm and try to complete a second audit before the IPO.”Jeremy was jolted awake.

Can you give me a chance to make it up to you?” Jeremy’s voice trembled.“Mr. Fisher, I thought I’d made myself perfectly clear,” she said, her tone calm and cold. “It’s over between us. Please stop doing these meaningless things.”“It’s not over! It’s never been over for me!” Jeremy burst out desperately, bloodshot eyes staring at her. “Hailey, I know you resent me, but that’s all my fault. I admit I was a jerk, blinded by greed, but I never meant to truly leave you! Our divorce was fake.
