Chapter 239
“Never mind. It doesn't matter anyway.” Angeline felt a lot better and looked much more approachable than before.
Seeing that, Hanson bent down to pick up the jug and poured Angeline a cup of water.
“I heard that Evander has made his relationship with you publicly known. When did this happen?” he pretended to ask casually.
“It just happened not long ago. We were forced to do that because of certain circumstances. Our identities are unique, after all.” Angeline took a sip and smiled in resignation.
Even though she had mentioned nothing more, Hanson could still see a happy smile on her face.
It seems that she has a really good life with Evander. Hanson clenched his fists and pursed liis lips at the thought. There was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
The woman he once had a crush on in his youth not only had nothing to do with him anymore but also became the woman of his business enemy.
There was no way he could let it slide.
“Let's stop talking about this.” Angeline sensed that the atmosphere wasn't quite right and promptly changed the subject, “You share the same bed with Joseline and should have known everything in Sorelle Group well. How did it fall from grace all of a sudden?”
“Well, there were already signs before that.” Hanson picked up the cup and nibbed it between liis palms. A hint of wisdom flashed across liis eyes as he said, “I did remind Joseline to be cautious in
everything she does. However, she constantly did things that benefited no one, all for insignificant rewards.”
Words eluded Angeline.
Not getting any response, Hanson continued, “In truth, the previous incidents were unable to cause much harm. The lethal blow only happened after Old Mr. Sorelle's death. After the company lost its backbone, all the debtors came banging on the door demanding payment while everyone's guard was completely down.”
Hanson smiled hopelessly. His eyes were cold, and there was not even the slightest mercy to Joseline in them.
Apparently, he had no intention of helping her clean up the mess, even from the beginning.
Angeline stared at Hanson intently and tightened her grip on the cup. How pitiful! No matter how problematic Joseline is, she still used to be Hanson's wife. How could he sit aside and ignore her plight now? He's so cold-hearted...
Having that thought in mind, Angeline couldn't help but be thankfill that she had left him early.
However, her heart wrenched when she thought of Sorelle Group. Sorelle Group is the fruit of Grandpa's blood, sweat, and tears. He must be disappointed to see it has been ruined now. Is there really no solution to this?
Back in the hotel, a shrill female scream rang out.
“Ahh!”
A woman with disheveled hah could be seen standing in front of the balcony. She looked as though she had gone crazy, sweeping all the bottles and cans on the table onto the floor.
The television was still playing the news about Sorelle Group. Seeing how Hanson protected Angeline and even put all the blame on her, Joseline felt a chill shoot through her body as an indescribable pain filled her heart.
She wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it wdtli her own eyes.
At that moment, the good impression of Hanson she had in her heart crumbled to ashes.
Joey heard the noise and quickly entered the room. When he saw the messy floor, he pursed his lips and advised helplessly, “Ms. Sorelle, please calm down. Being angry is not going to solve anything.”
It was not the first time Joseline lost control of herself, though.
Since the day she was restrained in the hotel, she had an emotional breakdown every day.
Although Joey had gotten used to it, he still couldn't help but curse Joseline in liis heart. B*tch! Your company has already gone bankrupt, and you can't afford to pay the debt collectors. How dare you smash tilings here!
“Hurry up and get me a change of clothing. I'm leaving this place. I can't continue to be locked up here!” Joseline screamed at Joey hysterically, looking like a mad woman as her hair was in a mess, and her face appeared pale without makeup.
The past few days of being restrained in the hotel, watching the bad news spread like wildfire outside, and her phone being flooded with debt collection calls were almost driving her mad.
“You can't do that, Ms. Sorelle.” Joey opposed her suggestion almost immediately. His face was devoid of color as he spoke. “You're doomed if you were to go out now. By then, it would be difficult if you wranted to escape again. It'd be better to stay and avoid the limelight here.”
“B*stard!” Joseline forcefully slammed a pillow on Joey. Then, she clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth in a fury. “How much longer should I hide here? There's still a lot of wrork waiting for me to deal with in Sorelle Group. I can't continue being a coward!”
Her wrords made Joey sneer. He couldn't help but surreptitiously roll liis eyes before reminding her, “Ms. Sorelle. please be rational. With the current situation, you can't even pay the smallest of debts. Soon, the court will send someone to take charge of the company. Besides, all the orders were canceled yesterday.”
“What?” The harsh truth dealt a heavy blow' to Joseline, causing her to stagger backward wdiile widening her eyes in disbelief.
I've been hiding in the hotel and never made an appearance. Although it's safer, it also gives those cunning old foxes in the company an opportunity. They will certainly divide all the money left in the company when I'm not around and leave me nothing.
Joseline felt helpless at that thought and reached out to cradle her forehead. Once again, she broke down and yelled.
It was then she finally understood that Wilfred had always been on guard against her.
On the surface, it looked like he had passed Sorelle Group on to her, but in reality, he had set up traps for her.
Wilfred was incredibly wise and knew that Sorelle Group would eventually fall to grace.
It was his final revenge, catching Joseline off guard wdiile she was still feeling smug from inheriting the company.
What a joke! Joseline cursed her own foolishness.
Meanwhile, at Golding Group, Evander, playing with a pen in liis hand, sat in liis office chair and gazed at the newrs playing on the television.
After the news ended. Sylas turned off the television with the remote control and nodded at Evander respectfully. “Mr. Golding, the photos of Hanson and Ms. Sorelle behaving intimately have spread all over the internet. Should we help to suppress the news?”
Evander's expression darkened when he heard that. Then, he extended liis hand toward Sylas and said. “Show me.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Yes, Mr. Golding.” Sylas nodded respectfully. Immediately after, he searched for the news on liis phone and handed it to Evander.
