Chapter 301 They Went Bankrupt
It was another busy night. What an eventful time!
Mr. Edwards and Isolde were standing at the door of the operating room with anxious faces.
Hearing Luca's screams from the operating room, Isolde only lelt a pain in her heart She covered her mouth and sobbed, "Oh, my poor son!"
Newell was distraught, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said impatiently, "Okay, our son isn't dead yet. Why are you crying?"
"He's my flesh and blood. How can I not feel sad?" Isolde sobbed. The more she thought about it, the angrier
she got, and she said, "Hailey is so vicious. She beat Luca up and even broke his hands. What are we waiting for? We should call the police and arrest her."
"Do you think I don't want to? Didn't you see how badly your son hurt Eve?" Newell looked cold and sneered, “1 knew that bastard was up to no good. He said he was going to see Eve to get back together with her. I thought it was a good idea. If they could get back together, then our family and the Newman family would still be related. For Eve's sake, Hailey wouldn't make things difficult for us. Maybe she would cut us some slack. But he beat Eve and she lost the baby...
Speaking of which, Newell couldn't wait to pull his son out of the operating room, "Even I want to beat him, let alone Hailey!"
"Whose father are you? How can you defend an outsider?" Isolde was not happy, and she tried to defend his son, "I know Luca's character. He's gentle like a lamb. If you talk to him nicely, he will not lose his temper. Eve must have said something unpleasant to annoy him, so he hit her. Don't feel sorry for the baby. We haven't done a paternity test, and we don't know if the baby in Eve's belly is our grandson. Probably it's not." "But there is still a possibility. What if it is?" Newell was very angry, "Don't try to defend your son. He has become like this because you've spoiled him! You're an indulgent mother!"
The old couple was talking and quarreling again. The nurse came out and reminded Newell with a frown, "This is in the hospital. Don't make any noise."
Newell felt dizzy with anger. He sat down on the bench, waved his hand, and said, "I won't argue with you. When Luca comes out, we have to take him to the Newman family to apologize. We have to put it to rest." "Why should we apologize? Why should our son apologize?" Isolde's eyes widened, "Hailey hit my son. I'm nice enough not to ask her to apologize. She wants us to apologize to her. No way!"
"You... you're so shortsighted!" Newell's head ached. He rubbed his brows, and said tiredly, "The current Newman family is not the Newman family three months ago. Hailey is no longer the innocent girl we met three years ago. Don't you feel scared when you see her? In just three months, I haven't heard much, but she joined Mr. Moore from North City and Mr. Holland from Belindao City and built a racecourse."
Speaking of the racecourse, Isolde became interested, "Are you talking about the racecourse in the northern
suburbs?"
"Yes." Newell nodded heavily.
Isolde looked unhappy and said, "When I think of it, I'm angry. Today I originally invited some friends to play mahjong, but they all stood me up. They said that there was a racecourse opening in the northern suburbs, and they all went to participate in the event. They asked me if I had received an invitation letter, and I was so embarrassed. Even Mrs. York from the fireworks factory was invited. I'm the wife of the chairman of
Freaktube Group, but I was not invited. It's outrageous!"
Newell smiled sarcastically and said, "I'm the chairman of the Freaktube Group, and even I wasn't invited, let alone you. Hailey made it clear that she didn't take us seriously."
“I just said that this little bitch is too arrogant. Does she think that the current Poya City is the world of the Newman family? It belongs to our Edwards family now, okay?" Isolde's face was full of disdain and arrogance. Newell looked at her irritably. His wife was still immersed in her dream of being "the richest man's wife". Little did she know that the richest man in Poya City had already changed. They had now become heavily indebted, let alone the richest.
Luca's hands were severely broken, and it took more than four hours for them to be reconnected during the operation. Luca was finally pushed out of the operating room.
He was their son, and they certainly cared about him.
Isolde greeted Luca immediately, holding him and crying. Newell had stayed up all night, and he was too tired to hold on anymore. He stood up against the wall and was just about to go over to see his son when the vice president of the company ran over in a hurry, and his face was covered in sweat, "Chairman, it's so bad... something happened!"
He staggered and almost tripped. Newell held him up and said with a stern face, "What happened? Tell me!"
"The building collapsed, and the project was shut down, and many workers were buried."
Newell's heart sank, "How could this happen? Let's go and take a look... How are the casualties?"
... Two men died."
Newell paused, knowing that once someone died, things would be bad. He said with a sullen face, "Hurry up and contact their family, block the news first, and negotiate privately!"
"That's too late." The vice president said, "The collapse was too severe. It caused a riot among the workers and disturbed the surrounding residential buildings. Now the media have rushed over, and many reporters have come outside the hospital."
Hearing this, Newell ran out and his heart was beating violently.
After a few steps, his phone rang, and another vice president of the company called.
As soon as he answered the phone, the man said, "It's so bad, Chairman, the financial director ran away
overnight. The marketing department collectively issued a resignation report, and they also sued the company for arrears of wages and violation of labor laws!"
"Stock crashed! Freaktube Group is over..."
Such news hit Newell's heart like one hammer after another. He covered his chest and fainted.
"Chairman!"
"Newell!"
Owen was brushing his teeth when Matthew rushed in with his trousers down in his hands, "It's an
emergency!"
It wasn't until he stood by the toilet that he raised his neck, let out a satisfied sigh, and shivered. "Where are your manners?"
Matthew flushed the toilet, put on his pants, and grinned, "I was in a hurry."
Owen tilted his head in disgust and gave him a dirty look. He turned on the faucet, rinsed the toam in his mouth, and washed his face.
Matthew squeezed some toothpaste on his toothbrush and brushed his teeth while lazily reading online news on his phone.
When he read the news, such as "Freaktube Group stock crash", "Freaktube Group declares bankruptcy"",
"Mr. Edwards died of myocardial infarction", "Isolde was detained in a lawsuit for murder", his drowsiness Listen to the rest of the chapter in audio
