"Alright, alright, I''ll be careful. Joanna. It would be too humiliating if this got out.
Divorcing Wendy right after she went bankrupt... if people found out, I''d be drowned in criticism."
He really didn''t want to do this. If Wendy hadn''t gone bankrupt, he truly wouldn''t have wanted to divorce her.
Wendy''s parents had been really good to him, but Sophia''s parents were very materialistic.
Nathan felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Joanna sneered. "Dad, you''re ashamed of what you did, but you''re still afraid of what people will say? You''re the one who tricked Wendy into marriage, and not only that, you had so many children, and now I have to deal with them one by one."
"Hey! It was nice having a lot of sons, but one by one they all became useless..."
Nathan couldn''t continue. His four children might not have been exceptional, but they were good to him. His eldest son was abroad, only asking for money each month and nothing else. If it weren''t for his business acumen, Nathan wouldn''t have given him all the money he''d worked so hard for.
Just as Nathan was feeling sentimental, he got a call from hispany.
"Sir, uh, it''s bad. Ourpany has been sold."
"What?" Nathan was shocked. "How could it be sold? I''m still in charge of thepany! Who would dare sell mypany?"
"It was... it was Wendy. She''s the legal representative of thepany. I heard she has a lot of debts, and someone came to acquire thepany today, so she sold it."
"Impossible! I''m the legal representative! How could it be her?"
"Sir, don''t you remember? You weren''t feeling well a while ago, and you were worried something might happen to thepany, so you transferred the legal representative title and all the shares to Mrs. Scott. You gave the order yourself."
"I... I didn''t. When did I ever give her thepany?"
Nathan remembered. A while ago, there were some documents that needed his signature. He hadn''t been well those days, constantly hallucinating. Was it during that time?
And he had given the instructions himself?
He roared in disbelief, "Impossible! That''s impossible! How could I have given her thepany I worked my whole life to build?"
He was so angry his face turned red, veins popping on his forehead. His eyes bulged, filled with rage and despair.
"Someone must be behind this! It''s a conspiracy! This is a conspiracy!" he yelled, waving his arms, his voice nearly hoarse.
The people around him were shocked by his outburst but didn''t dare to intervene.
Joanna was also stunned by his shouting and shot him a look of disgust, embarrassed by the scene he was causing.
Nathan''s mouth was twisted with anger. "Mypany! I poured so much of my heart and soul into it, all my sweat, to get it where it is today. How could I just hand it over to someone!" he continued to roar, his body trembling with agitation. Cóntent
He suddenly shouted, "I''m going to find out what happened! I have to find out what really happened!" He was panting like a wounded Deast Teady to tear someone apart -
"Sir, we''re being cleared out now. I''ve hidden the ount books showing the tax evasion. With all the taxes you''ve evaded over the years, even selling thepany wouldn''t be enough to cover it if you re found out."
"Should I give the books to you, or to someone else?”
Nathan was stunned.
It was true what they say: when it rains, it pours. He looked out at the snow-covered city, his heart filled with sorrow.
Hispany was gone.
“Bring... bring them to me. Don''t let anyone find them.”
"But the people who bought thepany have already found out. They said if we don''t leave, they''ll report us to the authorities."
"Then what are you waiting for? Get out of there! Are you waiting to go to jail? Get those ledgers to me now, or we''re both finished!"
