Chapter 24

fter being discharged from the hospital, he lived like a soulless shell, a walking corpse.

le completely neglected the affairs of Harrison Industries. Panic spread throughout the company, and its performance plummeted.

le couldn’t accept that Evelyn had truly left him for good, that she was now another man’s wife.

he feeling of completely losing control was driving him insane.

le was like a wounded beast trapped in a cage–agitated, furious, and desperately needing an outlet.

ind so, a foolish and insane idea formed in his mind–he would crush Ashworth Corporation

le would use every business tactic at his disposal to push the Ashworths to the brink of collapse.

le wanted to leave Evelyn with nowhere to turn, forcing her to come back and beg him for help.

le paranoidly believed that only by doing this could he get a hold of her again, proving that he still had the power to control her destiny.

Use all our resources! Spare no expense! I want Ashworth Corporation’s stock price to be cut in half within a month!” Theodore roared at his executives, his yes bloodshot, his voice hoarse and crazed.

he executives exchanged looks, angry but afraid to speak up.

veryone knew that under the joint management of Evelyn and Adrian, Ashworth Corporation was no longer the company it once was. Backed by the Ashworth amily’s unfathomable resources, a full–scale war by Harrison Industries would be suicidal.

ut Theodore was beyond listening to reason. Like a gambler on a losing streak, he frantically mobilized Harrison Industries‘ massive capital, launching hostile akeovers of Ashworth shares, spreading malicious rumors, poaching key personnel, and even resorting to underhanded, shady tactics to sabotage their rojects from all sides.

t first, Ashworth Corporation did feel the impact, and its stock price fluctuated.

When Theodore heard the news, a long–absent, almost twisted smile appeared on his face, as if he could already see Evelyn coming back to him, humbly

egging for his help.

[owever, he had underestimated Evelyn, and he had underestimated the resilience of the Ashworth family.

fter everything she had been through, Evelyn’s will was as strong as iron. Faced with Theodore’s aggressive business attacks, she didn’t panic in the slightest, istead, she was remarkably calm. She worked closely with Adrian, with one of them managing internal affairs to stabilize the company and boost morale, hile the other focused on external strategies, forming alliances and seeking partners.

With her ever–growing business acumen and the resilience forged through hardship, Evelyn managed to persuade several prominent families who had old rievances with the Harrisons to secretly support Ashworth Corporation

t the same time, she precisely identified several weak points in Harrison Industries‘ capital chain and strategic blunders that Theodore had exposed in his renzy, and launched a sharp counterattack with her allies.

war without smoke or fire erupted between the two corporations.

ut the situation quickly became one–sided.

heodore, due to his unstable mindset and chaotic leadership, coupled with the management loopholes that had formed within Harrison Industries from his ong neglect of its affairs, quickly found himself on the defensive.

he massive funds he poured in were like throwing money into the ocean, not only did they fail to crush Ashworth Corporation, but they also left Harrison ndustries‘ own capital chain in a precarious position.

Chapter 24

The malicious rumors he spread were debunked one by one by Ashworth Corporation with solid evidence, which in turn damaged Harrison Industries‘ own

reputation.

Most of the talent he tried to poach was retained by Ashworth Corporation with better offers and more promising career prospects.
