Chapter 171


    “Harry Crestfall?!”


    Anthony could not hold back his anger when he picked up the phone the second time. “ Stop calling


    me! The Crestfalls are doomed no matter what you do! If you call me


    again, I don’t mind ending your family right away!”


    He then hung up the phone abruptly.


    Back in Luna’s office, after Anthony hung up on him, Harry looked dispirited as he copsed on the


    chair.


    Luna had the same dispirited and pale expression on her face.


    It was over.


    Now that Anthony had made it clear, the Crestfalls could never make it out alive. The two of them fell


    into despair.


    If the CEO of thepany lost all confidence, her employees and subordinates would feel worse.


    “I’m resigning right away!”


    “The Hendersons areing for us! New Moon Corporation will be history soon.”


    “The death countdown is happening already!”


    “Run! At least, you can still save yourself now.”


    “I’m not staying here. You guys can be my guest.”


    The entirepany was in turmoil. No one wanted to work at the Valiant Institute project construction


    site.


    Messing with the richest man in Sumeria robbed the Crestfalls and New Moon Corporation of their


    status in the city. If the employees of thepany continued to stay, they would only be awaiting their


    doom.


    Luna had been troubled by the matter for a while now and still could note up with a solution. She


    thought of Halle, so she called her friend out for a drink.


    “Halle,e out and have a drink with me,” she said feebly.


    Halle noticed the sobbing and morose tone through the phone. She immediately asked, “Luna, what’s


    wrong? Did something happen?”


    Luna sighed and said, “Anthony Henderson made it clear that he’sing after New Moon


    Corporation. When the employees heard the news, they left… Thepany is empty, and so is the


    construction site. I don’t know how long I have to drink with you.”


    Halle noticed the despair in her tone. She immediately answered, “Of course. I’ll meet


    you at the same ce. Juste over.”


    “Mmm…”


    After the call, Halle called Andrius.


    “Andrius, Lama said the richest man in Sumeria, Anthony Henderson is going after the Crestfalls and


    New Moon Corporation. What is going on?”ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “It’s not a big deal. Anthony Henderson won’t be hopping around like a rabbit for long,” Andrius said


    indifferently.


    Halle’s worries were relieved after hearing what he said. She knew that Mayor Freely alone was


    enough to deter the Hendersons.


    Meanwhile, at River Helm, after knowing that Anthony was going after the Crestfalls and New Moon


    Corporation, manypanies and families called in to say that they would no longer work with New


    Moon Corporation.


    “Grandfather, don’t worry.” Suletta had a faint smile on her delicate face. “New Moon Corporation is


    tiny. We don’t need to do it ourselves. One word, and it’s enough to end them. Based on what I know,


    their employees left thepany when they heard we are going after them.”


    Anthony chuckled and asked, “What about the Timbends?”


    He did not hear an update on the Timbends from Suletta’s report.


    Suletta was slightly stunned. She said, “They haven’t taken sides yet. I didn’t receive at call from them.”


    “Then, I shall call them myself.”


    Anthony picked up the phone and called Bruce.


    “Bruce, I’m going after the Crestfalls and New Moon Corporation. What is your stance. on this? I want


    to know.”


    Anthony did not expect a strong reaction from Bruce on something this trivial.


    “Anthony, what did you say? You are going after the Crestfalls? No. The Timbends will not stand with


    you on this,” Bruce rejected Anthony decisively. He warned Anthony, “And, a piece of advice: take back


    your words. Do not mess with people that you can’t afford to mess with. Don’t push your family into the


    fire.”
