Chapter 154
After that, Roy behaved himself for a period of time. Gordon felt happy and thought that even if he didn’t run the company, he could still manage to give his family a carefree life.
However, the good times didn’t last long. Soon, Roy hung out with his bad friends behind Gordon’s back, but this time Roy was smarter. He wasn’t discovered by Gordon and even stole the property documents in the safe at home.
Later, Roy suddenly came home and said that he owed money again. It was too late for Gordon to know everything.
After knowing that Roy lost all the family property in gambling, Gordon’s wife was so angry that she got sick and died in a month. Gordon was devastated and his hair turned gray overnight.
After his mother was dead, Roy felt very sad, but soon he went to gamble again as soon as his friends tempted him.
In the end, even the Rodney family’s villa was lost. Everything was ruined. And Roy was afraid that Gordon would blame him, so he just ran
away.
There was nothing at home. Gordon was alone and had no place to live. In the end, he remembered that he still had this shabby apartment in Central District.
This was the dormitory building built by the old electronics factory for the employees, which was left to Roy by his mother. Unexpectedly, it had become Gordon’s only residence now.
The thought of the past tore Gordon’s heart out.
He had been working hard for a lifetime, but this was how he ended.
“Maybe this is my retribution. I almost made the Jansen Group go bankrupt and killed your father. Now that I have been reduced to such a situation, it must be God’s punishment for me.”
Gordon sighed helplessly, with regret and self-remorse in his eyes.
Rosalind didn’t expect that Gordon would tell the truth honestly. He had no intention of concealing anything at all. The questions Rosalind had prepared were not asked.

Chapter 154
Although Rosalind sympathized with Gordon, she didn’t forget the reason she came here today.
“I’m sorry for what happened to you, but I think you must know why we came here. We are here today to ask about the goods you bought from. Brooks Group. I hope you can tell us the details.”
The reason why they came here today was to find the person who sold the poisonous cloth to Gordon. Rosalind had to figure it out.
“Guess today is the day…”
Gordon smiled bitterly and looked up at the ceiling as if he were recalling. what had happened back then.
“After learning that my son Roy owed a huge amount of gambling debts in Coastton, I originally wanted to sell off the family’s property and help Roy pay the debts.
“But I was dissuaded by Clifford Wilson, a driver I knew at that time. He knew I was afraid that my son would be bullied in Coastton, so he asked me to misappropriate the purchase budget to save Roy first..
“I was panicked at that time. I hurried to redeem Roy from Coastton, so I agreed and used the purchase budget first to repay the debt.
“Later, I was going to raise money slowly, but it was a huge amount. If I sold all my real estate at that time, I would lose a lot of money, which made me feel reluctant.
“My driver had an idea, saying that his brother-in-law was working for Brooks Group who happened to know that Brooks Group had a batch of goods to be sold at a very low price, which was just like the goods that we needed, so he suggested that I should buy the goods.
“If I bought that batch of goods at a low price, I didn’t have to repay the previous misappropriated budget. I was tempted at that time.
“After all, the inferior materials of Brooks Group were very popular in the industry. It was well-known in the industry that there was no problem with making ordinary products with such materials. Many people wanted to buy such materials but they didn’t know how.
“The goods of the Brooks Group were highly-demanded. If I hesitated for a long time, they might be taken away by others.
“So I asked Clifford to contact his brother-in-law. In the end, I decided to

buy the goods.
“Although I made the decision, I was still afraid that this news would be fake. After all, it was just hearsay, so I inevitably worried about the validity and made an appointment with Clifford that he should deliver the goods to me at Brooks Group’s warehouse. I wanted to go to inspect the goods myself.
“I remembered that day when I was going to check the goods, my car broke down, so I went late. When I arrived at the gate of Brooks Group’s warehouse, most of the goods had been loaded into the car, and only at little remained unloaded.
“I checked the last batch of goods and thought that the quality was good.
“In addition, the goods were indeed loaded at the gate of Brooks Group’s warehouse and the loaders seemed to be very familiar with the warehouse keeper of Brooks Group, so I had no doubt about the deal.
“It was not until the goods entered the factory of Jansen Group and were. made into clothes smoothly that I felt relieved.
“But I didn’t expect that something would happen to this batch of goods. in the end.
“This batch of cloth was originally about to be shipped overseas, but some fabrics were mistaken by the personnel and made into domestic products.
“A few days after the products were sold out, someone exposed that Jansen Group’s clothes were poisonous and several customers had been poisoned. One of them even died.
“The news media scrambled to report this incident of Jansen Group. They called Jansen Group a black-hearted company that used poisonous materials to make clothes, and the share price of Jansen Group dropped again and again.
“In such a situation, your father was always calm and began to
investigate. I panicked and knew that he would find out the truth sooner or later.
“So when your father talked to me, I couldn’t help but tell him everything I had done. I knew that I made a big mistake and my greed might destroy the Jansen Group, but I was also afraid that your father would expose my deeds and put me in jail.

Chapter 154
“Nafis was very disappointed in me at that time, but he didn’t send me to jail immediately to change the public opinion. Instead, he suspected that there was something wrong with the whole thing and said that I might have been used.
“When I thought about it again, I also felt that I was used by others. The first person I thought of was the driver Clifford.
“At that time, I was angry and decided to ask Clifford about it. But shortly after I left the company, I heard the news of Nafis jumping off the building.
“I didn’t believe it at that time. Nafis was so determined to find out the
truth before I left. How could he commit suicide? But all news media in Haldorin reported the next day that Nafis committed suicide because he couldn’t bear the pressure to face those poisoned consumers.
“I suspected that Nafis didn’t commit suicide but was murdered. But I couldn’t say it because I was the last one to stay with Nafis. If I said so, others would probably suspect that I had murdered him.
“After all, I was the person who had misappropriated 20 million dollars. and caused the Jansen Group to go bankrupt at that time.
“I even felt a little lucky in my heart. Since Nafis was almost dead, no one would continue to investigate this case. Would I be fine then? No one would know about the 20 million dollars’ misappropriation.”
