?Chapter 1484 The Montirs


    No matter which department the employees belonged to, they all felt a mix of disbelief and anxiety. If thepany''s ounts truly had no money left, what would happen to them?


    Within just half an hour, trending topics about the Wray family became overwhelming. Initially, there were threats of issuing legal notices, warningizens not to spread rumors.


    But then, a bombshell hit. ''Kenton Wray embezzledpany funds for personal stock trading, and the stocks he held have plummeted!"


    The entire Chamber of Commerce was in turmoil. What was bad wasn''t stock trading, but the fact that Kenton had used hispany''s funds.


    If the online rumors were true-that Kenton''s stocks had crashed-then the Wray family''s cash flow was definitely in trouble


    People in the business world weren''t fools. Everyone had their own ways of finding out the truth. After a little digging, it became clear that the information circting online was almost certainly true.


    "Those who followed him seem to be having financial issues these two days as well," someone from the Chamber of Commerce remarked


    "It serves them right."


    Businesspeople who had long been oppressed by Kenton finally had the chance to voice their opinions.


    "He even dyed paying his workers."


    "Let''s not dwell on it. It looks like the Wray family is done for this time."


    "Thank god I didn''t take his side." This was what some of the Chamber of Commerce members were relieved about.


    "Do you know who''s the luckiest? Orson ise, who followed Ms. Quinnell. Not only did she save his applesauce factory, but it has be a national brand now. Even my grandsones across them when he''s online."


    "That''s not all. Haven''t you heard? Others scoffed at Ms. Quinnell when she was trying to acquirend. But Orson invested a modest sum, and she brought him in as a shareholder. The ise family is set for life!"


    Everyone knew how things for Wynter had turned around, especially when contrasted with Kenton''s downfall.


    With news of the stock market crash spreading, the Wray family was now at the center of public scrutiny. The banks not only refused Kenton any new loans but also joined forces with the authorities to audit his ounts. Kenton was drowning in trouble. His n to wait for the stock market to recover and then withdraw funds was nothing short of a fantasy. Wray Group was now on itsst legs, struggling desperately.


    No longer was anyone dismissing the rumors as typical gossip about a bigpany. Instead, everyone demanded that Kenton be held ountable for the mess he had created.


    At the train station in Hawford, some of the construction workers, who weren''t familiar with buying tickets online, stood in line at the ticket counter.


    Staying another night in Hawford was too expensive, and they were eager to just go home. Moreover, the strain of trying to collect their wages had left them weary.


    Even a piece of bread felt too costly for them. Some merely nibbled on leftover biscuits, while others, with their thermoses in hand, drank cheap instant beverages.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    As they ate, one of them, who was scrolling through social media, came across a video. "Xavian! Look! It''s the Wray family! Look at this!"


    The video was clear enough for them to understand, and they froze in disbelief.


    Soren received a phone call at the same moment, asking if he was willing to continue representing the workers in their wage dispute. The case was going to be reopened for reexamination.


    The workers didn''t fully understand the legal intricacies, but they knew one thing for sure. After three long months, someone was finally standing up for them! There was a real chance they might get their wages back.


    "Xavian, that girl was right! Her words hade true!"


    Yes, it had. Everything Wynter said wasing true.


    It wasn''t just the Wray family that was affected. When Tamia received the news, her hand, which had been holding a bowl of lobster bisque, trembled uncontrobly.


    Very soon, a crash was heard. The delicate porcin bowl shattered on the floor.


    "What did you say? Say it again! What happened to the Wray family?" Tamia''s expression was twisted with rage, her face terrifying to behold.


    The person delivering the message stammered as he repeated his sentence, "The Wray family is under investigation. Most of Wray Group''s funds are tied up in the stock market, and they might not be able to get them out."
