Amy and Cathy both looked at Hilary, looking forward to the explosive news she was going to tell them.
Hilary drank the water and turned to Amy and her mother. She finally caught their attention.
"What is it?" Cathy was impatient. Seeing that Hilary was still silent, she became anxious. When she was anxious, Hilary found she was needed!
"Take it easy. Let me drink some water first, for my throat." Hilary took another sip of water.
"Well, the White Group went bankrupt very quickly today! It only took an hour. The bankruptcy was so thorough that nothing was left. Many people thought that we, the Carter family did that. In R City, we are capable but have no reason to do that. Still, Sophia is a Carter, isn't she? Therefore, it can't be us.
“So who was it? Very few families in R City are so powerful, but it couldn't be the Field family either. Since the White family is closely connected with the Field family, they will never do this.
"Then who did it?" Hilary paused for another sip of water. She was indeed thirsty.
"Who did it?" Cathy was curious, but Hilary stopped talking.
"Mr. Newell," Hilary said mysteriously.
"Mr. Newell? Impossible. He had been sitting here by Amy's side. He had never left. Neither of them had left." Cathy didn't believe it at all. How was that possible? How could he just sit here, doing nothing, and the White Group went bankrupt? It would need some super power.
"It's the truth. I went outside to nose about it when I heard this. I even bribed an insider. He told me that the person who suppressed the stock was from the Newell Group." When Hilary saw that her mother did not believe her, she added the evidence she knew anxiously.
Cathy and Amy looked at each other. No one could afford to offend Mr. Newell. Today, Sophia brought the disaster to her whole family for her offence to him. From now on, it seemed that they had to keep far away from him.
"We believe you. In this city, other than us and the Field family, only the Newell Group is capable to do so." Cathy nodded.
"Mom, but I think Mr. and Mrs. Newell are very sensible. If they were unreasonable, they would have come in to hit me directly today. But Mrs. Newell didn't do that. Instead, she just checked me first." Amy also felt the couple were very strange. Obviously, they were kind souls, but they did such a ruthless thing.
"I can't figure it out either. But who cares? The White Group's tragedy has nothing to do with us. All we need is just to mind our own business, so don't worry so much." Cathy was careless about other families.
The three of them returned home together and John had rested. Cathy had sealed the news, so he knew nothing about what had happened to his family.
When Sophia came back, filled with anger, she felt that her husband was really a loser and she would be despised by those rich ladies in the future.
Her family had gone bankrupt, but the Carters just stood by and laughed. No one lent a hand. Who did this to the White family? Could it be Mr. Newell? But he had been staying with Amy and hadn't left at all.
This was truly weird. Who did this to the White Group?
William was out, leaving Sophia alone in the house. She was watching TV alone in the living room.
Seeing the three women giggling as they entered the house, she felt vexed. Why were they so happy when she was unhappy?
