Naturally, such responses sparked public outrage. Other investors were preparing a ss-actionwsuit, using Bianca of financial fraud and demanding an official investigation into PerseTech.


    ire Chase sent Noreen a message: "That jerk Seth is going bankrupt this time, right?"


    If Seth Harcourt continued to use Aurelion Group to cover this shortfall, he would indeed be facing bankruptcy. 51x leverage how had Bianca dared?


    But so far, Seth hadn''t made any public statements. No one knew if he would ultimately step in to save her. Not even Noreen.


    Meanwhile, in Rivercrest City, Bianca had been hiding in her house for five days. She hadn''t even dared to step outside. The curtains in her room were always drawn, and she kept the lights off. Her world had be as dark and hopeless as the room she was in.


    Yvonne brought a bowl of fish soup to her room. Bianca had no appetite.


    Yvonne tried to coax her for a while, but it was no use.


    "Still no word from Seth?" Yvonne finally asked, putting the soup down. She asked this question almost every day, but the answer was always the same.


    "What on earth is he so busy with?" Yvonne asked, unable toprehend. "Things are on fire here in Rivercrest City, and he''s still running around overseas!"


    "He said he''s trying to raise capital," Bianca''s voice was dry and raspy. "The hole is just too big."


    Hearing this, Yvonne''s expression softened slightly. "He''s certainly taking the long way around! The Harcourt Group is right here in Rivercrest City, yet he has to go abroad to raise funds."


    "Seth and the Harcourt Group are separate entities. There''s no financial entanglement, so he has no right to touch the Harcourt Group''s funds."


    "Is this really the time to worry about that? The Harcourt Group is his, isn''t it? What difference does it make if he takes the money now orter?"


    Yvonne just didn''t get it.


    "He signed an agreement with Wade Harcourt when he first started his own business."


    Yvonne''s eyes narrowed. "So what? He''s Wade''s only son. Who else would the Harcourt Group''s money go to?"


    Bianca''s mind was a mess; she hadn''t thought about any of this.


    Yvonne knew she was under a lot of pressure, so she stopped pushing and just urged her to eat a little.


    She tried to soothe her, "Don''t worry, we''re not at a dead end yet. We still have a way out."


    "What way?"


    "You''ll see," Yvonne said vaguely.


    After leaving Bianca''s room, she called Lana and gave her an assignment.


    The next morning, the driver was taking Wade to the hospital for a check-up. As the car neared the hospital, a ck sedan suddenly fost control and barreled straight toward them.


    The driver barely had time to react, yanking the steering wheel and


    swerving toward the curb. He


    Couldn''t avoid the Collision entirely and the side of the car was heavily dented.


    The driver was injured but managed to stumble out of the car. Passersby and other drivers rushed over to help.


    The driver waved them off. "There''s no one else in the car. I''m fine."


    Byparison, the other car was much more severely damaged. The driver had to be carried out.


    When Lana learned that Wade wasn''t in the car, she frantically called Yvonne. The n had failed!


    Wade wasn''t in the car! Even his caregiver wasn''t there! Only the driver had sustained minor injuries.


    "He''s got a lucky star!" Yvonne seethed, grinding her teeth in frustration.


    Her n had been to have Wade die in an "ident," which would allow Seth to inherit the Harcourt Group without anyplications. Bianca''s currem problems would be solved in an instant, And without Wade in the way, Seth could finally marry Bianca.


    The root of all their problems was Wade. So, getting rid of him would solve everything.
