Chapter 58
The Gardner Group faced a crisis as the public questioned their products and credentials.
Netizens are clamoring to boycott their products. Over 400 out of their 500 nationwide
stores have closed in less than a week.
The remaining few barely survived. They resorted to flash sales. They rather sell at a loss
than keep the remaining inventory.
Andrew, already physically weak, fell seriously ill as he watched the substantial daily
losses. Rosaline visited her sister to ask for help. But Sophia was afraid to intervene and
could only watch from the sidelines.
“Newton Beckett has issued a final ultimatum. He will ruin anyone who helps the Gardner
Group. Sophia, I’m part of the family, and it’s tough to say how bitter I feel about this
situation.”
Sophia sighed, comforting her sister by holding her hand in her palm. “Although the
Beckett family can’t help, I have asked Javier to pick a date for Liana and Jasper as soon as
possible. How about scheduling it on the first weekend after Grandfather’s eightieth
birthday?”
“What? We have to wait until his 80th birthday?” Rosaline asked impatiently. She could
wait, but the Gardner Group was in a crisis now!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Well, I wish Liana and Jasper could get married tomorrow too. But Grandfather insists on
waiting until his 80th birthday to have the wedding. I can’t do anything about it,” Sophia
lowered her voice, “By the way, I heard that Alice hooked up with the President of the KS
Group after leaving Jasper. She was taken away by Mr. Jonah the day she left the Seaview
Manor, and many people saw it.”
Rosaline had heard some details from her son last time and was jealous of Alice’s ability to
win over men. She hated that her daughter couldn’t secure Jasper. Yet, this girl had made
a comeback. She’d married into a wealthier family than the Beckett family after divorcing
Jasper.
‘I can’t help but wonder if this time KS Group is targeting Gardner Group because Alice
spoke badly about us to Mr. Jonah,” Sophia innocently continued to fan the flames.
Rosaline sat up from the couch in revelation, her eyes red with anger when she heard
Sophia’s words.
“That girl… not only did she delay Liana’s marriage, but now that she has divorced Jasper,
she still wants to sabotage us! Does she think no one can touch her after she found a new
man to support her?”
“She’s not easy to deal with,” Sophia clicked her tongue, “After all, Alice is the apple of Mr.
Jonah’s eye. The Taylor family is so powerful. Who could afford to offend her?”
“Yeah! The Taylor family is so influential. How did someone as insignificant as her get
involved with them?” Rosaline fumed, her mind
racing with a plan.
“Huh, so Alice pretended to be obedient and devoted to Jasper in front of Mr. Beckett
Senior. But behind his back, she must have been colluding with Mr. Jonah for a long time.
Otherwise, how could she have won him over so quickly? Imagine the commotion it would
cause if this was exposed on Mr. Beckett Senior’s birthday!”
Sophia smiled without saying a word, picking a teacup and sipping her tea. It was a
brilliant idea that Rosaline thought of herself. Sophia
had nothing to do with it.
Meanwhile, in the General Manager’s office of the KS World Hotel.
Alyssa had just finished screening the documents. She was now enjoying her favorite
computer game. The scene was brutal, filled with screams, and she was blowing up fish as
a butcher.
Just as she knocked down a survivor, Sean approached. He happened to witness the
gruesome scene. He quickly turned his head and
closed his eyes in fright.
“If you have something to report, speak up. Otherwise, leave.” Alyssa’s fingers remained

“Miss, I have two interesting news to report.” As he spoke, Sean covered the screen with
one hand and quickly placed the documents in
front of her with the other hand. Then, he retreated to a safe distance.
“My God! Are you kidding me? Your nerves are so weak. How are you going to protect your
girlfriend in the future? Next time, I’ll bring you

+15 BONOS
With that, Alyssa returned to her butchering game and knocked out another person. The
screen was once again covered in blood.
“That’s exhilarating!”
Sean grimaced, his features twisted dramatically.
After finishing the game, with no survivors left, Alyssa finally exited the game. Then, she
picked up the documents.
“Isn’t this the record of pawned items from our family’s pawnshop? Why did you give this
to me?”
“These jewelry items were brought to our pawnshop by Liana’s mother through someone
she sent. They were sold.”
