Chapter 70
“Fine. Go ahead and call the police. They will seek justice for ordinary people like us!”
The leader of the group pped her thigh and sat down on the spot. She wailed, “What a bunch of
bullies! Sorelle Group killed my husband, yet they are still dying thepensation as well as the
court case!”
Immediately afterward, she took out some certificates from her bag and presented them in front of the
media. “Everyone, take a look at these. Myte husband’s name was Craig Carter. He died in vain on
the construction site just to take the me for Sorelle Group. In the past six months…”
The woman angrilyined that she was left alone to take care of the two children after her
husband’s death. Furthermore, she had to look after her eighty-year-old mother. Because of all that,
she was desperately in need of thepensation.
Much to her dismay, Sorelle Group did nothing topensate for her loss.
In an instant, the whole ce erupted into chaos once again.
The reporters kept pushing their cameras in front of Joseline’s and Hanson’s faces as people continued
to hurl insults at the duo.
“Enough! Stop filming me!” Hanson roared. He had never been humiliated like this before. Reaching
out in a fit of anger, he shoved the camera away.
Seeing Hanson’s aggression, the reporters decided to add fuel to the fire. “Look! The CEO of Yiurk
Group is venting his anger on someone because of his guilty conscience!”
Hanson’s expression instantly darkened like a raging storm. Balling his hands into fists, he suppressed
his rising anger and left the scene with Joseline one after another.
Seeing that, Angeline turned off the television.
Nancy was perplexed. “Why don’t you continue watching?”
“It’s pointless to do so,” Angeline replied in a deep voice.
“You must be feeling great seeing this pair of scoundrels suffer like this.” Nancy stretched her back and
let out a chuckle. “Since both Yiurk Group and Sorelle Group have suffered such a huge blow, you’re
one step closer to reiming your shares.”
“It isn’t the right time yet.”
A smirk crept up Angeline’s face as she got up from the couch. She walked to the floor-to-ceiling
window, fixing her contemptuous gaze at the neon lights not far away.
You reap what you sow. Even Lady Luck is on my side. Everyone will now see Joseline’s true colors. I
wonder if Hanson still wants to marry her. Let’s see if Grandpa can ept the fact that his most
beloved granddaughter has such a vicious personality!
Angeline could not help but feel pleased at the thought.
Turning around, she leaned her back against the floor-to-ceiling window. Since the windows were not
shut, a gentle breeze blew in through the gaps, making her feelfortable.
Angeline took out her phone from her pocket and found Jonathan’s number.
She texted: Did you hire those women?
Soon, he replied: No, I didn’t hire them. They really have debts to collect from Joseline.
His reply affirmed Angeline’s suspicion.
Jonathan was indeed behind this. However, the usations from those women were true. Joseline did
break thew!
Ayer of sweat covered her palm as she gripped the phone tightly. She began to realize just how
terrifying Jonathan could be.
How did he manage to get hold of so much information? Just how deep is his grudge against Hanson
for him to do such a merciless thing?
Meanwhile, Hanson had to shower repeatedly in the bathroom to get rid of the stench on his body.
Then, he came out wearing a new set of clothes.
The assistant walked over and exined solemnly, “I have bad news, Mr. Yiurk. The stock prices of
Yiurk Group have plummeted after the chaos earlier. Things aren’t looking great at the moment.”
Flipping through the sales performance report handed over by the assistant, Hanson gritted his teeth
as his face contorted in anger.
He was nning to use this month’s performance to hype up the anniversary celebration while
reiming the bid of Project Serenity from Evander’s hands at the same time.
However, the situation took a turn for the worse.
All my efforts are now in vain!
Hanson became more irritated at the thought. “What’s the point of hiring you guys if you’re just waiting
for me to deal with it? Contact the other major departments and tell everyone to work overtime tonight,”
he ordered coldly.
“Yes, sir!”
After the assistant had left, Hanson went to his desk and switched on hisputer to work.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door before entering the office. It was Joseline.
“Get out!” Hanson ordered coldly without sparing her a nce.
Joseline shuddered at his thunderous voice. Biting her lip, she took a few steps forward and stood in
front of his desk. “Hanson, are you still mad at me? I know I did something wrong. However, I was left
with no choice,” she uttered pitifully.
“You still insist on denying it, don’t you?”
Hanson took the sales performance report on the table and flung it at her. “Look at the losses you’ve
caused just for that tiny profit!”
Joseline did not dare to look at the report. Instead, she walked to Hanson’s side and sat on hisp
before he could say anything.
“Hanson, please give me another chance. Help me and Sorelle Group think of a way to solve this,” she
pleaded.
Joseline deliberately unbuttoned her clothes and rubbed her body against Hanson’s arm from time to
time. Nevertheless, her seduction failed miserably as he grabbed her arm and clenched it tightly.
“I’m warning you. You’d better be honest with me. If Yiurk Group suffers huge losses because of this
matter, I’ll publicly break off our engagement!”
Joseline was startled by his threat as a trace of terror shed across her eyes.
She had never seen Hanson this furious before. Worse, she could not stand it when he threatened to
break off their engagement.
“No! We can’t break off the engagement. Hanson, I’m willing to use fifteen percent of Sorelle Group’s
shares to make up for your losses,” Joseline stated.
Fifteen percent of the shares…
Hanson’s ears perked up at those words. Since Joseline could not use the twenty percent shares jointly
owned by both of them for the time being, she only had thirty percent of thepany’s shares.
If Joseline wanted to give up fifteen percent of her shares, it meant she was willing to sacrifice
everything.
However, she only cared about her designer handbags, and Sorelle Group was bound to be ruined in
her hands sooner orter.
If I can get her shares, I will have the capital topete for the tender of Project Serenity. Is there a
reason for me not to ept her offer?
Two dayster, the filming of the period drama, The Journey, officially started. The entire production
team members began to arrive one by one.
This show boasted a powerful lineup as the main and supporting characters were all yed by veteran
actors.
In contrast, Angeline had only burst onto the scene in recent years. Despite that, she directly secured
the role of the lead actress. As a result, people began to discuss among themselves.
“I don’t understand why the investor chose Angeline as the lead actress for The Journey. She must
have brought in a huge amount of start-up funds for the drama.”
“That’s right. She hasn’t been involved in that many shows before this. However, there are a lot of
rumors about her on the inte.”
“Please don’t say that. I’ve seen the movies she yed in. She’s a capable actress.”
Angeline nced around and greeted the director, Derek McKenna, and other actors. She handled the
situation effortlessly.
She was well aware of her current standing in the film crew. Instead of wasting time arguing with them,
I should focus on ying my role well.
Right then, a ck minivan pulled up in front of the set. The bodyguard opened the door as a young
man in his early twenties got out of the vehicle.
