Chapter 205
“Don’t worry. I won’t kill myself. I think you’re right. I have to live my best life even if it’s just to spite
her.” Laying a hand on her t belly, Megan knew her baby was no longer in her. Upon witnessing
the hatred in Megan’s eyes, Meredith opted to remain silent. When she left the ward, she heaved a
sigh upon ncing back at Megan.
In the meantime, there was an uproar in the meeting room in Yard Group’s office building. As the
chairman of the board of directors, Rnd felt like he was going nuts.
“This is all your fault! Ourpany’s sales have been in decline ever since you hired your daughter
as our designer!”
“That’s right! Just look at the clothes that she designed! Nobody’s gonna take them even if you offer
them up for free! I wouldn’t have agreed to hiring her if it wasn’t because she was getting married
into the Lake Family! But now, she’s a nobody!”
“President Yard, I wish not to criticize you, but just look at you! Back then, you were bragging about
the fact that your eldest daughter is the president of JNS Corporation, and your daughters will be
married to Pierre and Finneas respectively. While you were able to rely on your three daughters for
sustenance, don’t pull us into your mess now that all of those prospects are gone!”
“He shouldn’t have relied on his daughters in the first ce! It’s better to have sons after all, since
they’ll always be in the family, whereas daughters will eventually be married off! They ain’t worth
nothing as soon as they get divorced! Not to mention that one of them didn’t even get married!”
They were either mocking him or reprimanding him with snide remarks. With his head hung low,
Rnd had nothing to say in his defense, as they were all telling the truth. He used to assume that
Meredith giving birth to twin sons for Pierre would help secure her spot as his wife, but Selena
stepped in and snatched Pierre away. It made things worse, as Selena hated him through and
through.
The board knew Selena could help them get over the hurdle that they were faced with, but judging
from the current circumstances, they didn’t think she would be willing to lend a hand.
“President Yard, why aren’t you saying anything? We’re suffering major financial deficits, and our
stocks in the warehouse are piling up. Some of them are no longer seble as they’re already
damaged by mold! Meanwhile, the warehouses are still requesting payment from us!”
All eyes were immediately on Rnd.
“The only way to go is to file for bankruptcy as well as selling off our assets, or else we might really
end up penniless,” one of the shareholders suggested. Before Rnd could say anything, the board
started quarreling again.
“Alright, that’s enough!” mming his hands on the table, he let out a roar. He was already at the
end of his wits, nor did he have the courage to risk it all for the slim chance ofing out on top. If
he were to file for bankruptcy, he would at least get some of his money back, or else he would end
up penniless.
With everyone’s attention on him, he nodded grimly. “I agree to file for bankruptcy.” In the end, he
didn’t have the guts to fight. Therefore, Yard Group was officially bankrupt, with all of its assets
being put up for auction by a third party.
Back in Fowler Residence, John was fiddling with his tea set while watching TV. Both of his
grandsons were beside him. While Joaquin was observing John’s movements closely, Jameson
heaved a sigh. “I’m so bored. I want to y with Juniper and have some of the food that her mother
makes. The cooking at home is just awful.”
Upon hearing that, John put down his tea pot before turning to look at Jameson. “Who would that
girl’s mother be?”
“Juniper’s mother is Miss Yard! The fried chicken she makes is the best!” Jameson was already
drooling when he spoke. At the same time, Joaquin gave him a kick under the table.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
