Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1172

"I agree with the comment above. The police really should investigate the other big companies under The Smith Group too."

...

The Lee family's reputation was already in ruins thanks to Nicholas Lee's scandal. Now, after the police released the latest news, things had only gotten worse. Their stock price hit a historic low, and the Lee Group's name was completely trashed. People wanted nothing to do with them. It was obvious to everyone that the Lee family was about to lose their spot among the top ten families for good.

The Lee Group went into crisis mode that night. Their PR team rushed out statements, trying to distance the company from the Lee family to protect NextGen Technologies' interests. After a tense emergency meeting with the shareholders, they decided to cut the Lee family out completely. All three of them were kicked out of the company's inner circle, and power was handed over to the second-largest shareholder from The Smith Group.

Back at home, Camila was sitting at the table, coloring with her little one and chatting with Sarah Brown on her phone. Even with a new boyfriend, Sarah just couldn't resist keeping up with the Lee family drama, sending Camila every juicy update she found online.

Sarah sounded way too happy as she messaged, "The Lee family is done for. The three of them will end up in prison, and I doubt anyone will mess with you again."

"Let's hope so," Camila replied. Now that the person behind all her troubles had been exposed, she could finally relax. Aside from her memories still being a bit foggy, her life was peaceful and she felt pretty happy every day.

Meanwhile, Aaron was giving Dennis Williams a rundown of everything that had happened.

"The Lee family took a huge hit," Aaron explained. "Even if they somehow manage to stabilize things, their assets are going to shrink by a huge margin. Everyone in business now knows what they did. No one will want to work with them. The Lee Group won't completely go under, but it's definitely going to be a second-rate company now. A lot of their overseas projects are collapsing too because their funding fell apart. They'll probably have to shut down a bunch of subsidiaries. The family's personal assets and shares have been taken to cover the company's losses. Basically, they have nothing left."

Aaron shook his head and added, "The worst part is, it's not just the Lee Group staff that hates them. Everyone outside is eager to kick them while they're down. Even if we stop now, plenty of people will make sure they never get back up again."

Dennis nodded, looking satisfied. "What about Nicholas Lee's two illegitimate sons?"
