Chapter 176 Marrying Into Pierce, Anderson Group Revives
Brandon had only woken up, so he was no match for Eric’s strength. in a flash, Eric had him pinned to the bed and snatched his phone away Branden lay on the bed, gasping for breath.
Eric shoved the phone behind his back and said guiltily, “Brandon, don’t blame everything on Emily. Ever since Whitney came back, she’s already had it rough. If you betray her, she’ll be devastated.”
As he finished speaking, a slap came out of nowhere from behind. The blow sent Eric stumbling forward, and he collapsed to his knees by the bed. He was about to turn around and yell, but then he found himself staring at Edgar’s furious face.
Edgar gave Eric a hard kick in the ass. “What’s she got to be upset about? She’s already made the Anderson family miserable enough! What kind of spell did that little vixen put on you, huh? Why are you so devoted to her?”
As Edgar raged, he stomped on Eric twice more, his fury completely out of control. When Eric realized it was Edgar, all his bravado disappeared instantly. Eric yelped from the kick, but whimpered, not daring to say a single word.
“The Anderson family is about to go bankrupt. What she stole could decide the fate of our whole family.” Edgar gritted his teeth. “Call the police, right now. Once we catch her, I swear I’ll beat her to death myself!”
However, calling the cops didn’t help. Emily had vanished without a trace, as she’d never existed. There wasn’t a single clue to be found. The Anderson family waited and waited, but Emily never came back.
Instead, what they got was the news that all the major projects the Anderson Group had either finalized or were working on, their only shot at a comeback, had been released to the market and sold off for sky-high prices.
Their rival companies, using the Andersons’ painstakingly crafted project plans, swooped in and secured deals the Andersons had been pursuing for ages but had never managed to land. And finally, even the Anderson Group’s current losses were exposed to the whole world.
In a short time, the Anderson Group was reduced to nothing but an empty shell. Thanks to those losses, they were already on the verge of bankruptcy. Panic swept through the Anderson Group. Everyone was worried sick about whether they’d still have a job tomorrow.
Those projects and contracts were the very ones that went missing from the Andersons, the ones Emily took.
Edgar was so furious that he collapsed right then and there. But the Anderson Group’s board of directors didn’t care whether Edgar was on his last legs. They wanted answers and a reasonable explanation.
The recent scandals and rumors swirling around the Anderson family had already started to affect the Anderson Group’s day-to-day operations. And all the major project contracts had been leaked.
With such massive losses, the Anderson family would have to compensate the directors. Some board members started questioning whether Brandon was fit to be in charge, and whether Edgar was qualified to be chairman. So they all signed petition, demanding a change in leadership.
Brandon pleaded with the board for a little more time. But the board shot back, saying they’d already given him more than enough chances.
Ever since Emily returned from that reality show, the rumors had kept piling up, and the Anderson Group was sinking deeper and deeper. With the Anderson family in such a mess, unable to handle their own drama, how could they possibly run the company?
Because of their family drama, the group’s profits were getting messed up. How were they supposed to accept that? And now, they weren’t the biggest shareholders, in the Anderson Group anymore. But Edgar and Brandon didn’t hear that. Edgar, sitting in his wheelchair and leaning on his cane, slammed it hard against the floor. “Enough! I’ll handle the Anderson family’s mess myself, and I swear I won’t let anything happen to the Anderson Group.”
But the other board members weren’t buying it. They thought, ‘If you really could fix it, why haven’t you sorted things out after all these days? You say nothing will happen, but now all the Anderson Group’s projects and contracts have been sold off.
‘And we’re teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. How can you say that with a straight face? If you’re going to make empty promises, at least make them sound believable.’
Edgar used to shut the board up with a single word. Now, though, they were all talking over him, throwing shade and insults his way without holding back for a second
been paying attention to what’s been going on Edgar’s face darkened. He coughed hard. “I’ve g Successfully unlocked! online, you should know that my birth daughter, Whitney, has a pretty close relationship with Ryan, the heir to the Pierce family.”

As soon as Ryan’s name was mentioned, the board went dead silent. They all looked at each other, suspicion written all Cover their faces.
Edgar went on, “My birth daughter is going to marry into the Pierce family. With the Pierce family backing us, the Anderson Group will be back on top in no time, right?”
The other board members were stunned for a moment. ‘Is Whitney really going to marry into the Pierce family? So the Pierce family will become the Anderson Group’s backer?
‘If the Pierce family really backs us, it won’t just be the Anderson Group that rises again. Everr if we had ten bankrupt Anderson Groups, the Pierce family could bring every one of them back from the dead.”
The board had indeed been keeping an eye on the latest gossip about the Anderson family’s real heiress. Recently, she had been all over the internet, and it really did look like she was getting pretty close to the Pierce family’s heir.
The board members were instantly tempted. After all, it was the Pierce family. Who wouldn’t want to get in good with the Pierce family?
Seeing the board members’ faces light up with interest, Edgar clenched his fists tightly, already plotting how to persuade Whitney to get Ryan to invest in the Anderson Group.
To bring the Anderson Group back from the brink, they needed a powerful ally. If worst came to worst, he’d put Whitney in charge of the Anderson Group for now. Once she was at the helm, Ryan would definitely step in to help.
