Gold Corporation was in a huge product and trust crisis.

Netizens were clamoring to boycott Gold Corporation. Of the 500 stores across the country that Zekewas so proud of, 400 closed down in less than a week. The remaining 100 stores or so were hangingby a thread. They went on a fire sale just to clear their stock, even if they were selling below their costprice.

Seeing the huge losses day by day, Patrick, who was already in poor health, collapsed.

Jean went to her sister’s house to ask for help, but Shannon dared not intervene. She could only sitback and watch.

“Nigel has given us an ultimatum. If anyone helps the Gold family, he will disown us. Jean, I really can’thelp you this time.”

Shannon sighed, took her sister’s hand, and comforted her. “Although I can’t help your company, I haveasked Greg to settle on a wedding date for Rose and Justin as soon as possible. It’s scheduled to bethe first weekend after Nigel’s birthday. What do you think?”

“Do we still have to wait until his 80th birthday?” Jean asked impatiently.

Jean could wait, but the company could not.

“Sigh. I wish Rose would marry Justin tomorrow, but Nigel insists on waiting until after his birthday, sothere’s nothing I can do about it.”

Shannon lowered her voice and added, “I heard that Anna Brown had an affair with the president of KSGroup after she left Justin. On the day she left, Mr. Thompson picked her up. Many servants saw it.”

Jean also heard something like this from her son last time. She felt extremely jealous.

She hated that her daughter was not so skilled in fishing for a good husband. Rosalind could not evenget Justin to marry her, but Justin’s ex-wife scored a second time with the Thompsons, which wasequal to the Salvadors.

“I was just wondering if Anna was the one who persuaded Mr. Thompson to target your family.”Shannon looked confused and continued to fan the flames.

Jean was immediately enlightened by this suggestion. She sat up on the sofa, and her eyes turned redwith anger.

“That damn bitch! She delayed Rose’s marriage and interfered even after she was divorced from

Justin. Does she think that no one can touch her now that she has found a new backer?”

“Sigh… She’s really invincible now.”

Shannon clicked her tongue and continued, “After all, Anna is now Mr. Thompson’s favorite. No one

will dare offend her because of the Thompson family’s status.”

“Right. But just look at the disparity between them! The Thompson family is one of the top families inthe country. How could she dream of marrying Mr. Thompson?!”

Jean was furious. A cold gleam flashed in her eyes. “Hah! Anna was very good at pretending to beJustin’s devoted wife, right? I bet she’s been hooking up with Mr. Thompson for a long time. Otherwise,how could she get together with Mr. Thompson so quickly? Shannon, don’t you think it’ll be exciting toexpose her true colors on Nigel’s birthday?”

Shannon smiled and said nothing. She picked up the expensive teacup and sipped on the black tea.

That was indeed a good idea.

On the other side, in the general manager’s office of the KS World Hotel, Bella was playing a goryvideo game.

Bella was very talented and efficient. She had finished approving all the documents and was taking abreak by playing her favorite game. She always enjoyed a killer game.

As soon as she slashed a monster, blood spilled all over the computer screen. Steven came in just intime to see this scene. He was so frightened that he turned away and closed his eyes tightly.

“Spit it out. If not, then leave.” Bella clicked her mouse and keyboard rapidly. Her dexterity was

incredible.

“Ms. Bella, I have two interesting things to report to you.”

As he spoke, Steven used his hand to block his eyes from seeing the computer screen, quickly put adocument in front of Bella, then retreated far away.

“OMG! You’re such a wuss! How will you be able to protect your girlfriend in the future? Next time, I’lltake you to a haunted house to build up your courage!”

After saying that, Bella, who was the butcher, chopped down another person. Once again, the wholescreen was covered in blood.

“Yes!” She cheered.

Steven’s eyes widened in shock.

Bella only quit the game after she killed all the monsters. Then she picked up the file.

“Why are you showing me pawned items from the Thompson Pawn Shop?”

“Rosalind’s mother sold jewelry to our pawn shop. Sold, not pawned.”
