Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3621

The man narrowed his eyes, a mocking, ice-cold smile curling his lips. He raised his hand and threw the diamond ring into the nearby lake.

With a soft splash, the sound was strikingly clear in the quiet, freezing winter night.

The ring sank to the bottom of the lake. It was just like his romance—once dazzling and passionate, yet suddenly extinguished. It had been so intense, yet so fragile. It couldn't withstand a single blow. When the storm came, it shattered into pieces and quickly plummeted into the abyss.

Perhaps to maintain the facade of their continued alliance, Carson Foster no longer targeted the Evert family's other industries, but focused solely on Marina Evert's company.

Investors pulled their funding, and ongoing projects were indefinitely suspended.

He didn't explicitly demand that other companies boycott Marina, but businessmen were experts at reading the room. Seeing the fallout between Carson and Marina, they immediately drew a clear line and distanced themselves from her.

Marina's company struggled to survive, hanging on by a thread.

It felt like returning to the time when her company had first faced a crisis. No, this time it was even harder with Carson's deliberate suppression. She was completely besieged on all sides.

Just like last time, her uncle's family didn't help. Instead, they kicked her while she was down, snatching two of her biggest clients in succession.

This time, Marina wasn't going to take it lying down. She went straight home to confront them.

Charlotte Evert took shamelessness to a whole new level. "People know our Phoebe is going to marry Carson, so they're rushing to curry favor with us and insisting on working with us. You're throwing a tantrum and looking for someone to blame, but what good does coming to us do?"

"Besides, you were the one who insisted on breaking the engagement with the Foster family and almost dragged the whole Evert family down with you. It was Phoebe who stepped up to clean up your mess. You should be thanking her."

The broken engagement hadn't been announced, and the new engagement party hadn't even happened yet. How would outsiders know? It was obvious that Charlotte had been spreading the news herself to steal Marina's business.

Marina raised her hand and threw a glass of water right into Charlotte's harsh, worldly face. "Having someone like you in the Evert family is our true misfortune!"
