My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 260 Changes of the Carter Family

Amy was talking to Andy about something. When Richard came in, the two stopped talking and both looked at Richard.

"I just came in to serve you guys water. Please continue your discussion." Richard put the tea down and went out. He even closed the door behind him on his way out.

"Well. Have you decided to do this?" Andy took a sip of tea and asked Amy.

"Yes. I'm going to do it. I don't want to flinch anymore." Amy nodded firmly.

"OK, I'll help you." Andy nodded. He would help Amy unconditionally as long as it was what Amy wanted to do.

"Mr. Carter, our goods were delivered last time, but the other party hasn't paid. This time, they directly rejected it because the goods are faulty." The sales manager rushed into Halbert's office, panting. "What? Faulty goods? The quality of our goods is always up to standard. Why didn't it reach the standard this time?" Halbert was surprised. HD Group had invested a lot of money in the goods.

"I do not know. This is the returned goods. I have checked it. They are indeed our productions. But our productions have been inspected." The sales manager had several unqualified goods in his hand. "Mr. Carter, bad news! Those quality inspectors are missing for no reason. They haven't come to work for several days." The manager of the HR department came to Halbert's office to report. Halbert had a headache. Each time the other party would pay for the first goods only after they received the second goods. If the second goods were unqualified, HD Group would get much less money for the first goods, and even have to compensate the other party for the second faulty goods.

"How can so many things happen at the same time? Is there someone behind it?" Halbert suddenly heard so many things and was a little overwhelmed. He had never encountered so many troublesome things at the same time.

"You go replace out what's going on. Get those quality inspectors back and ask who's behind it." Halbert almost roared to his men.

"Yes, I'll go check it out right away." The sales manager and the manager of the HR department then both went out.

"Halbert, look at your good son. What's going on? Why don't you even tell me about it?" Cathy came in with a newspaper in her hand. She slapped it down on Halbert's desk in anger.

Halbert opened the newspaper and saw the headline, "The second son of the Carter family has embezzled hundreds of millions of public funds." In addition, there were the photos of William and his mistress being taken on the street, and the photos of his luxury villa. Those were all exposed.

These things about the Carter family were spreading online. Soon, the hits were over 10,000, and still increasing.

"Dad, Dad, I am too ashamed to see anyone now. What should I do?" Sophia cried and ran into Halbert's office, showing the video on her phone to Halbert.

Sophia was drinking tea with some rich ladies at that time. She didn't know which bitch saw the video first and showed it to everyone. Then, those people looked at her with contempt. In a short time, they all kept a distance from her, as if she was a virus.

Halbert watched those things and a spurt of anger flashed through him. He felt a little dizzy.

"Halbert, you always tell me nothing. You brought your mother over to live and she messed my home. Do you really not know that William embezzled such a large amount of public funds? Just because he's your son, so you're so indulgent of him? Do you take me seriously? I'm disappointed in you. Let's divorce! "After Cathy finished her words, she turned around and left.

Her dear Richard worked hard for the company, but Addy's son slowly took all of this for himself. Now that her home was being overrun by Addy and Grandma Eva, what was the point of her staying in this family?

"Cathy! Cathy, listen to me!" Halbert's chest was aching with anger.

"Dad! Dad! What should I do? What should I do!" Sophia pulled Halbert's hand so that he couldn't get away.

"Be quiet! You guys leave me alone! Leave me alone!" Halbert covered his head. So many things happened at the same time that he didn't know what to do.

Halbert's head and chest were getting painful. He thought of Richard. His hands were trembling and he took his cell phone out of his pocket. Just as he dialed Richard's number, he fainted. Richard picked up his phone, but no one spoke on the other side of the phone. After he said "hello" a few times, he heard Sophia's voice. Sophia was crying and calling Halbert.

Richard didn't say goodbye to Amy and drove back to HD Group in a hurry.

When he arrived at HD Group, Halbert had been taken to the hospital. Richard rushed to the hospital then. Halbert was still in the emergency room.

Only Sophia was crying there. Richard asked her what happened. But she couldn't say anything clearly, making Richard anxious.

Richard called his secretary, who then told Richard about what had happened today.

HD Group suddenly suffered such a change, which upset Richard. What was going on? There must be a powerful person who could make HD Group suffer such a heavy blow.

Amy and Andy's recent frequent meetings made Richard suspicious. Could it be Amy? It was impossible. Why would Amy do that?

"The patient is in a bad condition. He can't be irritated. You guys can only say something which can brighten him. Be sure to remember!" Halbert was pushed out of the emergency room. The doctors were sweating nervously. The Carter family's head suddenly fell ill. If he did not save him, he might not be able to live well in R City.

"Well, I see. Thank you, doctor." Richard said to the doctor.

"Richard, what happened? Why did dad faint?" Hilary rushed over as soon as she got off the plane. She was anxious while hearing that her dad was sick.

Hilary had returned to her former life recently. She used to go to work to accompany Amy. Now that Amy no longer worked at HD Group, Hilary was free and often travelled with her friends.

"There is something wrong in the company. Dad was too angry and fainted. But now he is fine. Remember not to anger him." Richard told Hilary.

"OK, I see. That is Sophia, right? Why is she crying so sadly? Did someone have an accident?" seeing that Sophia cried so heavily, as if someone died, Hilary was a bit confused.
