Chapter 259 Utter Ruin
[Seriously! What makes Perez even more disgusting is that he knew all about the poisoned code and happily helped them pull the trigger!]
[Did you hear him screeching about how Carter Group stole his work and claiming our domestic neural system belonged to him? Shameless b*stard!]
[He was literally trying to activate the backdoor exploit on stage! Repulsive behavior!]
[He wanted to sabotage Carter Group’s launch and make them crash and burn!]
[You’re thinking too small! He didn’t just want to ruin their launch–he wanted to steal the entire neural system for himself!]
[Classic Oskarian gentleman, right? Straight–up colonial piracy at its finest!]
[Where are all the Perez fanboys now? Come out and say something! Enjoy that slap across the face!]
[Bootlickers are always the worst!]
[Hey barking shills, your foreign master just got hauled off in cuffs!]
The internet was in absolute pandemonium.
Nobody had anticipated such an insane turn of events.
Jeremy had plotted to hijack Carter Group’s system and humiliate them on stage by triggering a malicious exploit!
Every dirty detail was now dragged out into broad daylight for the whole world to see!
Powell Group was finished! Bexley Group was done for!
And as for the traitors within Carter Group…
All eyes shifted toward Audrey and Darren standing in Adrian’s VIP box.
Audrey and her father stood paralyzed in shock the moment G1 subdued Jeremy.
If Gl could catch falling iron beams with ease, Jeremy’s hired thugs never stood a chance, getting pinned by Carter Group security before they could even step forward.
Audrey’s face was as white as a corpse.
Her father, Darren, had been bragging arrogantly to prominent tech moguls moments ago.
Witnessing the sudden collapse of their plot, his mind went blank with terror.
“Oh, dear God!”
He shrieked in horror, “Our funds!”

Chapter 259 Otter Ruin
Finished
His eyes rolled back as he nearly collapsed into a dead faint.
Audrey had leveraged every last cent of their liquid capital.
They were left with practically nothing to their names.
And since Carter Group’s launch was a runaway success, it meant their entire gamble had blown up in their faces!
The thought of being rendered penniless–and Audrey having embezzled from the overseas treasury— shook him to his core!
Snapping out of his dizzy spell by sheer willpower, he grabbed Audrey to flee, only to find their path blocked by company security and uniformed officers.
“Ms. Audrey Carter, Carter Group has filed criminal charges against you for fraud and embezzlement of corporate and overseas assets. Please come with us.”
Officers escorted Darren and Audrey away by both arms.
On the other side of the room, Adrian and Marcus looked as good as dead.
With their conspiracy exposed, they had become public enemies overnight, sending Powell Group and Bexley Group shares into freefall.
Both had poured nearly all their liquid capital into shorting Carter Group, leaving them powerless to prop up their own crashing stocks.
Worse, as Carter Group’s stock rocketed to the daily/ceiling within minutes, their short positions faced massive margin calls and were wiped out clean.
Powell Group and Bexley Group shares triggered emergency halt circuit–breakers at the bottom limit.
“We’re done for… It’s over!”
Adrian’s face drained of color.
He had taken out hundreds of millions of dollars in bank loans; with their stock crushed and his short positions liquidated, the banks would seize and auction Powell Group’s prime assets!
It was the end!
