Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 636

Naturally, such responses sparked public outrage. Other investors were preparing a class-action lawsuit, accusing Bianca of financial fraud and demanding an official investigation into PerseTech.

Claire Chase sent Noreen a message: "That jerk Seth is going bankrupt this time, right?"

If Seth Harcourt continued to use Aurelion Group to cover this shortfall, he would indeed be facing bankruptcy. 51x leverage—how had Bianca dared?

But so far, Seth hadn't made any public statements. No one knew if he would ultimately step in to save her. Not even Noreen.

Meanwhile, in Rivercrest City, Bianca had been hiding in her house for five days. She hadn't even dared to step outside. The curtains in her room were always drawn, and she kept the lights off. Her world had become as dark and hopeless as the room she was in.

Yvonne brought a bowl of fish soup to her room. Bianca had no appetite.

Yvonne tried to coax her for a while, but it was no use.

"Still no word from Seth?" Yvonne finally asked, putting the soup down. She asked this question almost every day, but the answer was always the same.

"What on earth is he so busy with?" Yvonne asked, unable to comprehend. "Things are on fire here in Rivercrest City, and he's still running around overseas!"

"He said he's trying to raise capital," Bianca's voice was dry and raspy. "The hole is just too big."

Hearing this, Yvonne's expression softened slightly. "He's certainly taking the long way around! The Harcourt Group is right here in Rivercrest City, yet he has to go abroad to raise funds."

"Seth and the Harcourt Group are separate entities. There's no financial entanglement, so he has no right to touch the Harcourt Group's funds."

"Is this really the time to worry about that? The Harcourt Group is his, isn't it? What difference does it make if he takes the money now or later?"

Yvonne just didn't get it.

"He signed an agreement with Wade Harcourt when he first started his own business."

Yvonne's eyes narrowed. "So what? He's Wade's only son. Who else would the Harcourt Group's money go to?"
