Chapter 1114
Wendy strutted in all high and mighty but slinked out with her tail between her legs. The secretary stood by the
door, chuckling as she watched Wendy’s confident departure.
Ms. Summers, you’re something else!
Although she wasn’t quite sure what had happened, it sure seemed like a whole lot of drama had unfolded! Most
interestingly, Austin, who was badmouthing Ms. Summers just now, was on the brink of bankruptcy.
And who the heck was this Damon guy Ms. Summers kept talking about?
By the time Chloe returned to her office, Austin’s company stocks had hit rock bottom. News quickly followed that
the Harper Group had snapped up Austin’s Hardware for a mere 5 million dollars. It took everyone by surprise.
How many people wished they could have shared in the spoils with the Harper Group? If they had known the Harper
Group was gonna pull a move like this, they would have bought some stocks in advance. But it was too late for
regrets now!
The Harper Group made their move without giving anyone a heads up!
Chloe smirked, turned off the news, leaned back in her chair, and looked out the window. Her smile gradually faded,
replaced by a serious expression. After some contemplation, she got up, put on her jacket, and hurriedly left the
office.
Meanwhile, Melinda called Makenna to confirm they had left the hotel and went straight home. Inside the luxurious
villa, the living room was a complete mess as soon as she stepped in. Not one of the expensive items was left
intact.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe living room was filled with relatives. Tiffany and Austin were kneeling on the floor, covered in dust and dirt.
There were spots of blood splattered around, and the room was filled with angry shouts and cries.
When Makenna saw Melinda return, she called out to her loudly, and her sobs suddenly got louder.
“Melinda!”
Her piercing cry made Melinda’s ears ring. And it also added fuel to the fire. Her eyes immediately locked on
Tiffany, who was covered in dust. She was wearing a sheer purple nightgown that did nothing to cover her up but
instead revealed some key areas, making her look even more provocative!
She gritted her teeth, rushed forward, and grabbed Tiffany by her hair, lifting her head up. Just as her raised hand
was about to come down, she let out a scream, pushed Tiffany away, and stepped back herself.
She was filled with terror!
That face… She clutched her chest, staring at Tiffany’s figure, her face filled with horror. The face was covered in
bloody cuts, clearly made by something sharp.
She was disfigured!
She took a couple of deep breaths, then slowly calmed down, a satisfied smirk creeping onto her face. She rushed
forward and kicked Tiffany hard. “Serves you right, you slut! You dared to seduce my dad, why don’t you just drop
dead!”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She used to think of Tiffany as her little sister, helping her dress
up, and giving her advice, only to have Tiffany use the charm she helped create to seduce her own father!
“Look at how you’re dressed! You’re a shameless whore!”
Melinda wished she could kill Tiffany right then and there! How could there be such a shameless person in the
world? She kept kicking Tiffany again and again, each time harder than the last.
“Stop…please…”
Tiffany sobbed weakly. She had already been beaten to the point of dizziness. If they continued, she was afraid she
would be beaten to death.
But Melinda didn’t listen and kept hitting her harder. “You seduced my dad! You slut!”
All the people in the room just watched as she beat Tiffany, and no one stepped forward to stop her. Austin had
already been beaten up pretty badly and was in no position to help Tiffany. His phone was blowing up, but every
time he tried to answer, he was beaten again.
When his phone rang again, Austin desperately wanted to answer, but everyone glared at him angrily. But then
Melinda picked up his phone!
“Melinda!”
Several people glared at her unhappily.
“At a time like this, you still want this bastard to answer the phone!”
Melinda frowned, “The company must be affected by all this drama! If you won’t let him handle it, how are my
mom and I supposed to live!”
No one said anything, so Melinda answered the call, put it on speaker, and held it up to Austin’s ear.
An anxious voice immediately came from the other side.
“Mr. Austin! The company…the company’s stock…the company has been acquired!”
Everyone froze at these words.
“What are you babbling about! Acquired? I don’t know anything about it, how could it be acquired?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Our stocks have plummeted, and all the shareholders have sold their shares! The shares you had in the hands of
the shareholders are all gone! They
tried to call you many times, but you didn’t answer, and the situation was urgent. Not a penny was retained!”
“What did you say…”
Austin was stunned, and so was everyone else in the room. Even Tiffany, who had just been beaten, raised her
head. Her disfigured face was full of panic. “Austin… this isn’t true, right?… It’s not true… I need money for plastic
surgery. I need money for plastic surgery…”
When her face was slashed by her aunt, she was desperate. But then she calmed down. Austin was rich after all. As
long as he had money, she could make herself even more beautiful than before with plastic surgery.
But how could the company be acquired? If it’s acquired, wouldn’t the company belong to someone else?
Austin was in a panic, hoping it was all a mistake. But a sense of unease was creeping up on him. He asked
nervously, “Who…who acquired it?” “It’s the Harper Group!”
Austin’s face, which had been hopeful, instantly turned pale. His lips trembled, “It’s over…”
Makenna was also stunned, her face as pale as Austin’s. She collapsed onto the sofa.
Seeing this, Melinda quickly asked, “Mom, what’s going on? Why is our company being targeted by the Harper
Group?”
Tears rolled down Makenna’s face. “It’s all over, totally screwed up! It’s all your dad’s fault, that total jerk! He…
totally deserves it, a real taste of his own medicine! He’s got a mistress, messing around with Tiffany, and even
tried to smear the CEO of Starlight International! He’s bankrupt, serves him right!” Melinda frowned, “Chloe? What
does this have to do with the Harper Group buying our company?!”
