The Gardner Group faced a crisis as the public questioned their products and credentials.


    Netizens are moring 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 sh 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,forting 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!


    “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 sonst 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 aeback. 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 mes.


    Rosaline sat up from the couch in revtion, her eyes red with anger when she heard Sophia’s words.


    “That girl… not only did she dy 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 n.

    “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 themotion 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 favoriteputer 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 on the


    keyboard and mouse as she clicked away, leaving no room for idle time.


    “Miss, I have two interesting news to report.” As he spoke, Sean covered the screen with one hand and


    quickly ced 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 exhrating!”


    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.”
