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 spiteher.” Laying a hand on her flat belly, Megan knew her baby was no longer in her. Upon witnessingthe hatred in Megan’s eyes, Meredith opted to remain silent. When she left the ward, she heaved asigh upon glancing back at Megan.
In the meantime, there was an uproar in the meeting room in Yard Group’s office building. As thechairman of the board of directors, Roland felt like he was going nuts.
“This is all your fault! Our company’s sales have been in decline ever since you hired your daughteras our designer!”
“That’s right! Just look at the clothes that she designed! Nobody’s gonna take them even if you offerthem up for free! I wouldn’t have agreed to hiring her if it wasn’t because she was getting marriedinto 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 aboutthe fact that your eldest daughter is the president of JNS Corporation, and your daughters will bemarried to Pierre and Finneas respectively. While you were able to rely on your three daughters forsustenance, 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 place! It’s better to have sons after all, sincethey’ll always be in the family, whereas daughters will eventually be married off! They ain’t worthnothing 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,Roland had nothing to say in his defense, as they were all telling the truth. He used to assume thatMeredith giving birth to twin sons for Pierre would help secure her spot as his wife, but Selenastepped in and snatched Pierre away. It made things worse, as Selena hated him through andthrough.
The board knew Selena could help them get over the hurdle that they were faced with, but judgingfrom 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 ourstocks in the warehouse are piling up. Some of them are no longer sellable as they’re alreadydamaged by mold! Meanwhile, the warehouses are still requesting payment from us!”
All eyes were immediately on Roland.novelbin
“The only way to go is to file for bankruptcy as well as selling off our assets, or else we might reallyend up penniless,” one of the shareholders suggested. Before Roland could say anything, the boardstarted quarreling again.
“Alright, that’s enough!” Slamming his hands on the table, he let out a roar. He was already at theend of his wits, nor did he have the courage to risk it all for the slim chance of coming out on top. Ifhe were to file for bankruptcy, he would at least get some of his money back, or else he would endup penniless.
With everyone’s attention on him, he nodded grimly. “I agree to file for bankruptcy.” In the end, hedidn’t have the guts to fight. Therefore, Yard Group was officially bankrupt, with all of its assetsbeing put up for auction by a third party.
Back in Fowler Residence, John was fiddling with his tea set while watching TV. Both of hisgrandsons were beside him. While Joaquin was observing John’s movements closely, Jamesonheaved a sigh. “I’m so bored. I want to play with Juniper and have some of the food that her mothermakes. The cooking at home is just awful.”
Upon hearing that, John put down his tea pot before turning to look at Jameson. “Who would thatgirl’s mother be?”
“Juniper’s mother is Miss Yard! The fried chicken she makes is the best!” Jameson was alreadydrooling when he spoke. At the same time, Joaquin gave him a kick under the table.
