My Sleeping Beauty Husband By Lyanna Nichols Chapter 256
Chapter 256 A Cold World
“Jack Davis!” It was him!
Ivan called out the name angrily. He thought it would benefit them that Jack went abroad
and could not be contacted. Unexpectedly, Jack had colluded with Smith Group long ago
and sold all their evidence to them.
D*mn it. D*mn it!
“Tansy Group has treated him so well, yet he betrayed us. He’s really ungrateful.‘
David pushed his sses and said coldly, “Smith Group must have given him a lot of
benefits, so he betrayed us. But it’s not the time to talk about this. President Smith, Mr.
Ivan. We have to return to thepany as
soon as possible and figure it out sooner.”
re and Ivan looked at each other and nodded.
“Yes. Tell all the employees not to panic and believe that news, and keep working. Make
sure to stabilize thepany.”
They were about to leave when suddenly the manager rushed over, “The police are
re froze. They didn’t expect the police toe so quickly!
Ivan panicked and held re’s arm tightly, “Dad, what should we do now!”
“Don’t worry!” Although re was feared, he had to stay calm. He patted Ivan on the
shoulder and looked at
David with a severe face.
“The police will take Ivan and me away. Please help us to sort things out.”
re had helped David, so he was sure David would not betray him.
Sure enough, David nodded solemnly, “President Smith, Mr. Ivan. Don’t worry. I will help
youe back
safe.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the policeman walked into the room, “re Smith, Ivan
Smith. Someone reported that Tansy Group had evaded 14 million dors in taxes.
Come with us.”
re and Ivan did not refute and obediently followed the police into the police car.
It was a bustling area where many people were around. Someone took a picture of Ivan
and re getting into the police car and posted it on the Inte.
The news of the tax evasion was confirmed with the police’s presence.
Tansy Group saw a dramatic fall in its reputation. Its stock price dropped a lot in just a
few minutes. If they
couldn’t survive this time, Tansy Group would bepletely done.
David asked the people from the public rtions department to return to thepany to
work overtime. They didn’t dare toin. It was true that they were loose about what
had happened. They didn’t work in publicity immediately. As a result, it worsened, and
they couldn’tpensate for the loss.
After the people from the public rtions department left, David drove to Ivan’s
residence by himself.
The evidence of tax evasion was solid. re and Ivan coulde out if the tax was paid
up. Otherwise, they were likely to be sentenced.
Fortunately, Ivan had made preparations to transfer all the property to Hulda. Otherwise,
all the property under his name would be seized.
When David arrived at Ivan’s residence, the lights in the vi were still on. He was
anxious and rushed in.
Hulda was sitting on the couch in the living room, drinking coffee. She stood up quickly
when she saw David rushing in, “What’s the matter? What happened?”
“Hul… Oh, no. Mrs. Smith!” David quickly changed the address and said, “Mr. Ivan was
in big trouble. He was taken to the police station with President Smith. We need to pay

more than 14 million dors in taxes. Please take the money and follow me to get them
out.”
Hulda was stunned for a moment, then her face turned serious, and she held David
back, “No!”
David looked at her coldly, “Mrs. Smith? What do you mean? Mr. Ivan transferred all his
property to your name. Will you let him die and run away with the property?”
With a chill in his eyes, David thought, “Mr. Ivan misjudged her. She’s as greedy and vain
as before. She pretended to like Mr. Ivan!”
David sneered. “Did she think she could run away with the property if Mr. Ivan goes to
jail?” thought he.
He and Ivan had been prepared for this. Even if Mr. Ivan was in jail, Hulda could not take
away the property if
she betrayed him. She would need David’s signature to take out the property. Otherwise,
everything would be
in vain.
After hearing what David said, Hulda felt wronged and sad, “What are you talking about?
How could I betray
Ivan? Ivan did transfer his properties to my name, but I can’t take out more than 14
million immediately!”
“What!” David was stunned. How could Tansy Group not have 14 million? Hulda must be
lying.
“It’s true!” Seeing he didn’t believe her, Hulda felt even more aggrieved.
David didn’t think Hulda lied. He realized he had missed a critical problem. Before Tansy
Group’s ident,
Ivan discovered Cynthia had cut off several Smith Group’s projects and used all money
on other projects. Therefore, they didn’t even have seven million, not to mention 14
million.
David was dumbfounded. After reflecting on everything, he realized that Cynthia had
started to deploy
against Tansy Group and Ivan from the very beginning.
“What should we do? President Smith and Mr. Ivan were taken away by the police. They
can only get away if
we pay all the taxes. Otherwise, they will be sentenced to at least ten years!”
David covered his face, not knowing how to get the money.
Something subtle shed into Hulda’s eyes, and she pretended to be anxious and sad
and said, “We have no
choice. I can only sell the houses Ivan transferred to my name. Maybe we can get 14
million, and…”
As she spoke, she took out a bag from a corner and showed it to David, “This is all the
jewelry that Ivan gave me. I still have a few bags and some high–end clothes. You can
sell them all for the emergency to get President Smith and Ivan out.”
Seeing she was sincere and gave all she had without hesitation, David was moved and
ashamed instantly, “Mrs. Smith. I’m really sorry that I misunderstood you.”
“It’s okay!” Hulda smiled gently, “I know you were too anxious. I was also panicked when
I knew the police took Ivan and President Smith away.”
She showed the bag in her hand, “Because I was too flustered and didn’t know what to
do, I packed everything in advance. Hope they’ll be helpful.”
David felt warm but still a little worried. He reminded again, “You’ll have nothing if you
sell them all. No houses and cars…”
“It’s okay!” Hulda interrupted him directly, “It’s just things, and it’s nothing worth holding
on to. I have lived in a dpidated house and led an ordinary life for many years.
Besides, I do this for Ivan. As long as he and President Smithe back, and we can
keep Tansy Group, I will get them back sooner orter. I believe in them.”
David was relieved and nodded with satisfaction, “You’ve thought about it thoroughly.
You are right. We can take them back as long as President Smith and Mr. Ivan are here.”
After they finished speaking, they immediately held all jewelry, asked someone to pack
all the valuable things in the house, and were about to sell them. Second–hand luxury
goods couldn’t be sold high unless they were very rare.
Ivan didn’t trust Hulda before and didn’t buy her any valuable things, so Hulda’s things
didn’t even sell for
four hundred thousand.
The houses under Hulda’s name were also for sale. Because of the conflict between
Ivan and Smith Group and the rush to sell them, there were more watchers, but no one
bought them, even though they were sold at a reduced price.
David was anxious. When would they get 14 million dors?
It hadn’t bothered David when he dealt with hundreds of millions of money. But now he
found it difficult to get 14 million.
He and Hulda went door–to–door to borrow money from acquaintances, but those who
called re or Ivan “brother” rejected them.
They all knew Smith Group would bring down the Tansy Group, so they didn’t dare to
help Ivan. Otherwise, Smith Group would give their family a hard time.
David copsed. He didn’t expect those people would turn against Smith Group before
re was convicted. It was a cold world.
