You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 136

Indeed, the crisis at Tyson Corporation was the Smallwoods and the Wynters’ doing.

However, they only intended to exert some pressure on Tyson Corporation, thus impacting Matthias and the Tysons.

Subsequently, they would exert more pressure on Matthew, leaving him with no choice but to agree to marry Shermaine.

Even if he refused to marry Shermaine right away, at least it would give the two of them a chance to improve their relationship first.

But after executing their plan, the outcome was completely out of their expectations.

Tyson Corporation’s crisis was spread all over the news and many of the reported details were nothing like what they had imagined.

Demolition accident? Corruption?

We aren’t the ones behind this!

Shermaine was panic-stricken after finding out about this.

Asking her mother was pointless, so she went straight to the Wynters’ residence. The moment she stepped into the house, she saw the gloomy look on Jacque’s face. Upon her arrival, his face darkened even further.

Meanwhile, Hannah had guilt and regret written on her face.

Shermaine’s heart missed a beat and she banished any thoughts of questioning the Wynters.

She was wearing a sad and apologetic expression on her face, but she quickly kept her emotions in check and trod with caution.

“Grandma, Uncle Jacque, I’m sorry. This is all my fault.”

She did not know what the Wynters was discussing before she arrived, but it probably had something to do with the crisis at Tyson Corporation.

Since I’ve apologized, they won’t blame me for this, right?

Sure enough, her red-rimmed eyes as well as the anxiety and remorse lining her features tugged at Hannah’s heartstrings.

“Don’t cry, Shermaine. It’s not your fault. Who would’ve expected something like this to happen? Not even I did. Jacque, don’t blame Shermaine. At that time, you also agreed to teach Matthew a small lesson, right?

When Jacque heard his mother’s words, he couldn’t help but refute angrily, “Yes, I did, but I certainly did not agree to let those people be the ones to do it. Didn’t I say to let me handle this matter? But you just couldn’t wait. Now, look at what happened. The Tysons and us-”

He choked on his own words, barely holding back his temper as he spoke.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Our family is closely tied to the Tysons. If something were to happen to them, do they really think that the Wynters can walk away unscathed?

Everything’s a mess now. Regardless of the final outcome, we’ll be at risk of falling out with the Tysons, and it’s all because of Shermaine.

In fact, I’m the one who stands to lose the most if this really happens.

The Wynters’ plan had utterly backfired on them.

The consequences Jacque would suffer from falling out with the Tysons would be worse than the current predicament the Tysons were in.

As Hannah looked at the distress her son was in, remorse overwhelmed her.

“It’s all my fault, Jacque.”

“Uncle Jacque, please don’t blame Grandma. Grandma only did it for my sake, so if you want to blame someone, blame me. I don’t know what happened, but if you’re mad at Grandma because of the matter regarding the Tysons, then it’s completely my fault. Grandma, I’m so sorry for implicating you.”

Tears streamed down Shermaine’s face as she spoke and it was a pitiable sight.

Sadness washed over Hannah and she started crying as well.

Jacque’s wife, Sandra, had remained quiet this whole time.

However, the sight of Shermaine and Hannah hugging while crying together grated on her nerves.

For so many years, Sandra had carried out her duties in the Wynter family to perfection. She respected the elders and cared for the children, not to mention looking out for her husband, never once causing him any trouble.

Back then, when her sister-in-law, Kayla, eloped with James, it had caused the family quite a lot of trouble.

However, it was no use dwelling on the past. At present, the family was reunited, but she never expected Kayla’s daughter to be a troublemaker just like her.

To marry a man who clearly had no interest in her, she resorted to using all kinds of underhanded means.

Sandra despised women like her the most and her resentment grew when they had sought Hannah’s support and implicated Jacque after the stunt they pulled on the Tysons backfired.

Kayla and her entire family are so revolting.

When Sandra perceived the heartache on her husband’s face as he watched his mother crying, she quickly spoke up before he went soft on them.

“Mum, Shermaine, crying now is useless. Since things have already gotten to this point, we should focus on finding a solution instead. Jacque, you should meet with Matthias first and take care of the matter. Hannah, you shouldn’t worry about these things at your age. Jacque and I will handle it. By the way, isn’t it the holidays now? Clark said that he wants to bring you back to the countryside to relax and enjoy the fresh air. Alright, here’s the plan. When Clark gets back, you should let him take you out for a bit. Moving around is good for your frame of mind.”

The purpose of Sandra’s suggestion was to temporarily separate Hannah from Shermaine’s family, lest Kayla tried any tricks to win Hannah over again.

This way, the matter would be left to Jacque and her. Naturally, she did not plan to help Shermaine with anything either.

And of course, she made sure to keep her thoughts to herself.
