Chapter 139 I Will Not Admit Defeat
Ylah and Lane sat opposite each other in the corner of a coffee shop not far from the hospital, and they had ordered their own cup of coffee respectively.
“Mr. Jordan, if you had anything to say, you might speak up.”
Lane smiled and said, “Mr. Marshall asked me to tell you there is nothing wrong with being ambitious, but you must also have the strength to match your ambition. Otherwise, you would suffer from your own consequences.“.
Ylah’s expression froze. “I don’t understand. What does Mr. Marshall mean by that?”
“You were the one who asked someone to blow up the picture of Mr. Marshall and Ms. Forbes at the theater, weren’t you?
“Don’t rush to deny it. I dare to say this to you clearly because Mr. Troy has asked someone to investigate it.”
Ylah’s face was pale.
“Also, you had been in contact with Renard and Paul.”
Ylah’s breath hitched. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
She never thought that Troy had let his men investigate everything in such a short time!
Lane smiled confidently and said calmly, “Renard, Paul, and the other four shareholders have been arrested by the police.”
Ylah still refused to back down. “So what?”
“What you did was indeed secretive, but as long as you did a bad thing, people will eventually know about it! Do you really think Mr. Marshall’s men are for nothing?”
Lane knew that people in Troy’s standing would always have somewhat shady methods in their hands.
He knew there was a young man around Troy who was having a one–way communication with Troy, and he seemed to have been in jail before.
Ylah’s face was ghastly, and she slumped on the chair. “Sarah ordered me to do it!”
She wouldn’t want to be Sarah’s scapegoat to enter the jail!
Only at this moment did she understand that they could do some things in the past not because they could threaten Troy, but because Troy was playing favorite and turning a blind eye on them.
But now that Troy no longer favored Sarah and refused to overlook her, there was nothing they could do.
A few days ago, the results of the administrative review came out. The original decision was maintained, and the surveillance video was released.
Sensing that the situation didn’t look good, Renard contacted Jarvis‘ secretary in private, telling him that he wanted to settle the matter privately.
When the incident happened, Jarvis intended to compensate as much as possible and cover up incident.
Renard disagreed and worked with the media to blow up the matter.
At this time, it was impossible for the Marshall Group to agree to settle matters privately again, indicating that it would wait for the results of the work–related injury identification and the
the
10-15
division of responsibilities before making compensations according to the responsibilities. According to the existing evidence, the identification of work–related injuries had a high probability of being unsuccessful, and the deceased was mainly responsible. Therefore, the compensation amount paid by Marshall Group was definitely not as much as that proposed by
Jarvis.
Renard was furious.
Ylah contacted Renard at this time and analyzed it with him. She said, “It will take at least a month for the identification of work–related injury to complete, and compensation negotiation will also take time. Moreover, you have caused so much trouble for Troy, so he certainly doesn’t want to give you the money conscientiously. Likely, he will deliberately delay the negotiation time, lower the amount of compensation, and leave you with no choice but to file a lawsuit. From the submission of the complaint to the trial, it will take another several months. Marshall Group’s lawyer isn’t for nothing, so there’s a chance that it’ll be delayed further. By the time you get the compensation, it might have been a year or two later. Your father is responsible, and you might not get much money, so
money, so Troy will also probably sue your father and use the property under his name to compensate the company’s losses. This is how capitalism works. You can’t imagine how despicable they are!”
What she said made Renard get more furious. He hated Troy deeply, and the desire for revenge surged inside him.
Simultaneously, Marshall Group’s stock price continued to drop. By last Friday’s closing, some agitated shareholders ran to the square in front of Marshall Building to stage a protest.
Paul Lester had been hanging around in the stock market for a long time. Eager to get rich overnight, he risked all his net worth, causing him to almost go bankrupt in the end and his wife to run away with his child. Afterward, with Ylah promising him some benefits, he went to harm Troy.
Back in the ward, Ylah sighed and said to Sarah, “Sarah, Mr. Marshall will send you abroad and ask
you to never return. But my parents are still in the country, so I can’t leave with you. Take care of yourself in the future.”
Ever since she met Sarah abroad, she had been determined to make Sarah Troy’s wife while she would return with great glory and trample down all the people who bullied her before.
But now she understood that becoming Troy’s wife was not the key to becoming the most powerful person, but it lay on Troy himself.
Even if Sarah became Troy’s wife, with Troy disliking her, she would still have to roll around at the bottom.
Just like when Troy removed Sarah from her role as the heroine of Cloudwater City and took down all of Sarah’s endorsements, it led to all other notices on Sarah’s contract being terminated accordingly, and she still failed to keep everything.
Ylah’s words were like a blow to the head, leaving Sarah in a daze. “Ylah, are you leaving me, too? Don’t leave so quickly! I won’t admit defeat!”
Sarah’s tone was anxious, and she struggled to sit up, but her movement caused her to pull on the wound, and she had to lie back down due to the pain.
“Troy’s heart is no longer yours, and it’s useless to do anything. In fact, going abroad may be good for you, as you may have a chance to make a comeback there. But I can’t accompany you anymore, so you must take care of yourself”
Then Ylah left the ward.
She didn’t want to go to jail, and she would have to bear living miserably in the future.
“Ylah! Ylah!” Sarah became agitated and shouted Ylah’s name.
Sarah watched with wide, red eyes as Ylah left.
Even Ylah stopped helping her.
Could it be that being sent abroad was her only future?
Sarah’s mother, Samara Page, was putting the soup on the table in the ward. As she filled the bowl, she muttered, “Look at you. You have made yourself like this, yet Troy didn’t even show up.”
Sarah leaned against the bed irritably and said nothing.
Samara sat down by the hospital bed. As if she didn’t notice Sarah’s expression, she would continue to mutter, “You and Troy have been in love for so many years, but why are you still lost to Imogen? I don’t understand why you insisted on going abroad back then. If you didn’t, you’d be Troy’s wife by now! Listen, you can’t be too uptight. If he wants something, you should…” “Can you stop talking?!” Sarah interrupted her.
If she had a choice, she wouldn’t want to go abroad at that time. However, she had no choice… “I’m your mother, and I’m doing it for your own good. What’s wrong with me reprimanding you?” Samara pouted in displeasure.
She fed Sarah a few sips of soup and said, “It’s not that I’m blaming you. Everyone knew that you two were together, yet it turned out like this, and you immediately went abroad not long after you just returned. Your father and I are too ashamed to meet other people. I don’t know how I should act if my friends asked about it.”
Sarah closed her eyes. She tried to be patient and asked, “Where is Dad? What is he doing these days?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
His father had clearly promised to help her deal with Imogen, but what came out of it?
She knew that her parents were unreliable!
“Your father? Don’t count on him. I reckon he’s having his sweet time with some woman out there!”
Sarah stopped talking.
Why did she have such parents?
Her father liked to do grandiose things to impress others, but he couldn’t voice out his opinions at all in the company, only knowing how to have fun and support his mistress.
On the other hand, her mother was narrow–minded and unable to grasp things clearly, always arguing with her husband every few days and only knowing how to complain.
She was even a little envious of Imogen.
She had gone through hardship for the past ten years, yet she took the position of Troy’s wife without any effort!
“Your father is unreliable at all. You might as well tell me if you needed anything.”
Sarah glanced at her mother but still said nothing.
Samara was dissatisfied. “What was that look?”
Sarah was slightly irritated. “I didn’t mean anything else. Don’t overthink.”
Not Admit Defeat
After bickering with Sarah, Samara returned home with a sullen face and threw her bag on the
sofa as soon as she arrived.
Bill hadn’t come back yet. Samara didn’t know which woman he was fooling around with right
now!
At this moment, Ethan came in with a document “Mrs. Samara Page.”
“Bill is not here *
“I know. Mr. Bill Page asked me to bring the documents to the study.”
