Chapter 58
Gold Corporation was in a huge product and trust crisis.
Netizens were clamoring to boycott Gold Corporation. Of the 500 stores across the country
that Zeke was so proud of, 400 closed down in less than a week. The remaining 100 stores
or so were hanging by a thread. They went on a fire sale just to clear their stock, even if
they were selling below their cost price.
Seeing the huge losses day by day, Patrick, who was already in poor health, collapsed.
Jean went to her sister’s house to ask for help, but Shannon dared not intervene. She
could only sit back and watch.
“Nigel has given us an ultimatum. If anyone helps the Gold family, he will disown us. Jean,
I really can’t help you this time.”
Shannon sighed, took her sister’s hand, and comforted her. “Although I can’t help your
company, I have asked Greg to settle on a wedding date for Rose and Justin as soon as
possible. It’s scheduled to be the first weekend after Nigel’s birthday. What do you think?”
“Do we still have to wait until his 80th birthday?” Jean asked impatiently.
Jean could wait, but the company could not.
“Sigh. I wish Rose would marry Justin tomorrow, but Nigel insists on waiting until after his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbirthday, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Shannon lowered her voice and added, “I heard that Anna Brown had an affair with the
president of KS Group after she left Justin. On the day she left, Mr. Thompson picked her
up. Many servants saw it.”
Jean also heard something like this from her son last time. She felt extremely jealous.
She hated that her daughter was not so skilled in fishing for a good husband. Rosalind
could not even get Justin to marry her, but Justin’s ex-wife scored a second time with the
Thompsons, which was equal to the Salvadors.
“I was just wondering if Anna was the one who persuaded Mr. Thompson to target your
family.” Shannon looked confused and continued to fan the flames.
Jean was immediately enlightened by this suggestion. She sat up on the sofa, and her
eyes turned red with anger.
“That damn bitch! She delayed Rose’s marriage and interfered even after she was
divorced from
Justin. Does she think that no one can touch her now that she has found a new backer?”
“Sigh… She’s really invincible now.”
Shannon clicked her tongue and continued, “After all, Anna is now Mr. Thompson’s
favorite. No one
will dare offend her because of the Thompson family’s status.”
“Right. But just look at the disparity between them! The Thompson family is one of the top
families in the country. How could she dream of marrying Mr. Thompson?!”
Jean was furious. A cold gleam flashed in her eyes. “Hah! Anna was very good at
pretending to be Justin’s devoted wife, right? I bet she’s been hooking up with Mr.
Thompson for a long time. Otherwise, how could she get together with Mr. Thompson so
quickly? Shannon, don’t you think it’ll be exciting to expose her true colors on Nigel’s
birthday?”
Shannon smiled and said nothing. She picked up the expensive teacup and sipped on the
black tea.
That was indeed a good idea.
On the other side, in the general manager’s office of the KS World Hotel, Bella was playing
a gory video game.
Bella was very talented and efficient. She had finished approving all the documents and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas taking a break by playing her favorite game. She always enjoyed a killer game.
As soon as she slashed a monster, blood spilled all over the computer screen. Steven
came in just in time to see this scene. He was so frightened that he turned away and
closed his eyes tightly.
“Spit it out. If not, then leave.” Bella clicked her mouse and keyboard rapidly. Her dexterity
was
incredible.
“Ms. Bella, I have two interesting things to report to you.”
As he spoke, Steven used his hand to block his eyes from seeing the computer screen,
quickly put a document in front of Bella, then retreated far away.
“OMG! You’re such a wuss! How will you be able to protect your girlfriend in the future?
Next time, I’ll take you to a haunted house to build up your courage!”
After saying that, Bella, who was the butcher, chopped down another person. Once again,
the whole screen was covered in blood.
“Yes!” She cheered.
Steven’s eyes widened in shock.
Bella only quit the game after she killed all the monsters. Then she picked up the file.
“Why are you showing me pawned items from the Thompson Pawn Shop?”
“Rosalind’s mother sold jewelry to our pawn shop. Sold, not pawned.”
