The One I Should've Married (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 87

Even though Vivienne didn't understand the intricacies of corporate management, she knew the US expansion was a project Lawrence had poured his soul into.

The Sinclair Group had injected massive amounts of capital into it. If it collapsed, the entire empire would be dragged down with it.

Hearing that Lawrence was barred from entry, Vivienne gasped. "If you can't even get in, won't those failing projects just completely implode?"

Lawrence closed his eyes in frustration. "Implode? That's putting it mildly. If this continues, we are completely finished."

Arthur and Vivienne both fell dead silent.

Those partnerships had taken three grueling years to secure, and the projects had only just launched this year.

Now they were completely collapsing!

With so much money tied up in it, this disaster threatened to bankrupt the entire Sinclair family!

Arthur shot a lethal, venomous glare at Julian.

Julian's heart lurched violently under that stare. He swallowed hard. "Grandfather..."

Why was he looking at him like that?

Yes, things had ended disastrously with Stella, but they couldn't possibly blame him for everything!

How could anyone suggest that a massive international corporate crisis was caused by his divorce?

It was impossible. Stella didn't have that kind of power.

So this absolutely couldn't be pinned on him...

The overseas crisis was enough to send the entire family into a panic, but then Lawrence dropped an even more suffocating bomb.

"It's not just the US projects. Several major partners right here in the city have signaled they want to terminate their contracts too!"

Arthur, Eleanor, and Vivienne were completely stunned.

Julian was speechless.

The air in the room didn't just feel heavy—it felt completely paralyzed.

Absolute panic washed over everyone's faces!

Arthur's expression turned pitch black. "You're telling me things are falling apart in the city too?"

"I'm certain this has something to do with Stella Channing!" Lawrence declared.

He couldn't blame her for the overseas catastrophe—he didn't believe she had that kind of reach—but the local crisis? That was definitely her doing!

Lawrence's tone was absolute.

Julian's face drained of all color. "That's impossible. She doesn't have the power to pull that off!" he blurted out instantly.
