Chapter 54 What Else Can We Do?
Soon, the banquet came to an end.
For many people, that night was undoubtedly a restless night, including Scott, Lana, Simon, and Ruth.
The members of the Sadler Group were striving to salvage the group’s reputation to minimise the impact of Anna’s incident. However, several business partners decided to directly terminate their cooperation. Scott was deeply troubled, feeling increasingly irritated as he looked at Lana’s face.
Could the Lowe Group be easily toppled? Since they had managed to win over Hendrick’s secretary, they should have been prepared before taking any action! Now, they were caught off guard and had to find a scapegoat.
Nevertheless, everyone had already formed their own opinions. Some partners‘ trust in the Sadler Group had diminished significantly.
This was an irreversible setback.
As for Ruth and Simon, they were experiencing the pain of having to liquidate assets.
Ruth reluctantly sold some of the luxury items she had acquired from Kate. Simultaneously, her frustration boiled over when she learned that Holly had returned empty–handed from Summer Estate.
“That d*mn Kate! Does this girl have some hidden agenda? Why did she suddenly change?”
Ruth clenched her fists tightly, her face twisted in anger.
Across from her, Holly frowned as she eyed the designer bags and other items on the coffee table. With concern in her voice, she asked, “Are you really going to sell all of these for cash?”
Many of these items were painstakingly acquired by her from the Summer Estate. The eccentric Eric had purchased numerous pieces of jewellery, bags, and clothing for Kate, but Kate had simply stored them without using them. Uncertain of the total value, Holly would bring out some each time she took a break from the Summer Estate.
However, this time, she was caught by the security guards and unable to bring anything out.
Listening to Holly, Ruth resentfully said, “What other options do we have? That little schemer wants to return the private hospital, claiming Eric wants it back! And the previous buyer demanded three times the original price to sell it back!”
“Triple the price? We sold it for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and now they want four hundred and fifty thousand dollars to buy it back!”
