Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 446

Wendy escaped.

Everyone had seen it coming.

But most of them didn’t bother looking.

“I just want Emily back.” Grandpa Gale sat on the hospital bed, looking like a wreck.

The other day, his illness kept getting worse and he was suffering from intense mood swings.

But luckily, he sobered up the next day.

That was when Emily disappeared.

What was all over the Internet couldn’t be kept from him at all.

The old man was anxious, heartbroken, and completely freaking out.

They had sent everyone they could to look for her, even Joseph and Francis.

If it weren’t for the fact that all the Gales were too busy looking for Emily, Wendy could never have escaped.

Just as Wendy had said, the most important thing in the Gale family was each other.

That was why nobody cared where Wendy was. All they wanted was to find Emily.

“Brother, Hunter has called back all his people.” Francis told Joseph the news the minute he got it.

“That bastard doesn’t care about Emily at all. But who need him? We have plenty of people. We will find her,” Joseph snorted and said indifferently,

He was wrong about Hunter!

He had thought, deep down, Hunter still cared about Emily. But it turned out his feelings for her were fleeting.

That man only cared about himself after all.

“Brother, what about the contract?”

That contract wasn’t signed by Wendy at all, but by Carl Gale, the biggest shareholder of the Gale Group.

Wendy, that slippery snake, didn’t even leave a single door open for them.

Carl was from the Gale family as well as a major shareholder. He didn’t do anything wrong.

Therefore, even if something happened to Wendy, the contract was still valid.

“Brother, we’ve been played by them. We’re screwed!”

Compensation of 30 billion was a fatal blow to the Gale Group.

They had to sell their shares to make the compensation.

But in this case, all the shareholders would panic and divest themselves of their shares.

If they did, the price of the shares would drop. And the lower the price was, the more they had to lose…

In short, it was a vicious cycle. One downfall would lead the Gale Group into an irreversible catastrophe.

“Even if I sell my company, it will only be worth two billion, which was still not enough to cover the expense.”

Although Francis did fine with his company, it was still no match for the Gale Group.

“What do we do now, brother?”

“We can’t carry on with the projects in that contract. It requires more than we can take. It will end up as a disaster for us, too.”

Therefore, the only way was to raise enough money.

“But where are we going to get the money? Selling all our real estate was still not enough. Are we going to sell our own mansion as well?”

Francis thought for a moment and shook his head, “Even if we sell the mansion, we’re still short.”

Even the billions-worth mansion was not enough to cover the expense of thirty billion.

“Don’t tell grandpa about this…”

“You guys are hiding everything from me. Good kids! Both of you.”

Not far behind them, Mr. Gale was sitting in a wheelchair, staring at them.
