Chapter 953 The Revenge Of Richard
Kate had tapped on the speaker button, so Alex heard Woody’s claim about their company’s impendingbankruptcy.
“What happened? Last I checked, the company was operating just fine. How could such at thing havehappened so suddenly?” Kate asked worriedly.
The Sutton family of Lumenopolis was the source of her confidence. Without it, she wouldn’t have anysupport.
Woody explained on the phone, “I don’t know about the details, but the businesses under the Grantfamily suddenly announced their refusal to collaborate with us. Once the news spread, manycollaborating companies began refusing to work with us. Even the ones with functional contracts haveall reneged. With all these breaches of contracts, our company can no longer operate smoothly. Arepresentative from the bank dropped by and requested us to pay back our previous loans. I’m at mywit’s end! That’s why I’m calling you. Please think of something, Kate, or our family will be ruined!”
Once she understood the origin of the problem, Kate’s fingers clenched rightly over the phone. Her gripwas so tight that her fingers started to turn white from the pressure.
A flashback of her confrontation with Richard at the castle played in her mind. So that old man did allthis because he was worried about a comeback from me. He didn’t have to, though. Just announcinghis fallout with the Sutton family is enough to pitch all the individuals toadying up to them to single outus. With enough power, one can crush any hated existence at their whim and fancy. Destroying asecond-class family is easy enough.novelbin
Kate knew how weak and powerless she was, but she had never suffered such aggrievement. Theresentment fueled the anger she felt.
When Woody didn’t hear any response from Kate, he panickily questioned, “Kate? Why aren’t yousaying anything? Are you listening to me, Kate? The government will seize our company if we don’thave ten billion within three days. We’ll really lose everything by then!”
Suppressing her rage, Kate bit down on her lower lip. Upon tasting the coppery tang on her tongue,she assured, “Dad, calm down. I’ll think of something to solve this.”
Right after she hung up her phone, she couldn’t hold in her tears and began weeping.
“Alex, the Sutton family is a goner. I’ve lost my right to be with you, haven’t I?” Kate said helplessly witha pitiful look.
He sighed at her remark. The situation had turned out to be out of his expectations. He honestly didn’tthink Richard would take out his anger on the Sutton family in his urgency to protect his granddaughter.
The Revenge Of Richard
“Don’t cry. We’ll find a way to solve this. Your crying isn’t helping with anything.” Alex consoled as hegently patted Kate’s shoulder.
Kate lunged forward and began sobbing against his chest. Feeling tired from crying, she started, “Thishappened because of me. I can’t just watch my family fall into ruin like this. I can’t let the Sutton familybe destroyed in my hands even if I have to beg Old Mr. Grant on my knees and suffer any humiliationthey put me through.”
Releasing her grip from Alex, Kate wiped her tears away and said, “Emma is still sleeping in her roomand might wake up in a while. Please help me watch over her. I have to go and meet Old Mr. Grantnow.”
Kate turned around to leave when Alex grabbed her arm and guided her to sit in a chair. “Leave thismatter to me. All you have to do is stay home and watch over Emmalyn.”
“But the issue with the tech dome isn’t resolved yet, so how can I trouble you with this? Please let mego and beg Old Mr. Grant. Once he’s vented his anger on me, perhaps he’ll spare the Sutton family.” Atroubled look crossed Kate’s face.
Alex patted her shoulder. “Just stay at home. I can deal with this.”
Kate nodded, putting on an act of perfect obedience as she sent Alex out of the door.
The facade Kate put on disappeared the minute the door shut behind Alex. Her sad expression earliervanished into thin air and was replaced with a malicious look.
How dare that old man from the Grant family try to destroy my family! What a shameless old man!Nevertheless, this is a good chance since it’ll make Alex hate the Grant family. He might even feeldisgusted toward Maggie at the end.
At that moment, Kate’s phone rang once again. Vinson’s name flashed across the screen.
