Missus Jefferson went over immediately and hugged her son, crying. Wilson stayed up all
night and could barely hold on. He stood up, supporting his weight against the wall.
Just as he wanted to see his son, his company’s vice CEO rushed over to him with his face covered in
sweat. “Mister… bad news!”
The vice CEO stumbled and almost tripped. Wilson supported him and asked sternly, “What’s wrong?
Tell me!”
” The building collapsed. The project is gone. Many workers were crushed.”
Wilson’s heart sank. “How did it happen? Go… Hurry up and see… How many casualties?”
“Two dead.”
Wilson’s footsteps stopped. Things would turn bad, knowing that someone died. He said with a grave
face, “Quickly contact the family. Cover the news and negotiate privately!” “It’s too late.”
The vice CEO said, “The building collapsed severely. The workers caused a riot and disturbed the
surrounding residential buildings. The media have rushed over. Many reporters are outside the
hospital.”
Hearing that, Wilson ran out quickly, his heart pounding violently.
Before he could run far, his phone rang again. Another vice CEO from his company called.
As soon as the call connected, the other party reported, “Bad news! The CFO ran away. The whole
marketing department resigned collectively. They are suing the company for violating labor laws by
defaulting on wages!”
“Our stock has crashed! Jefferson Group is over…”
Bad news came one after another and hit Wilson hard. He clutched his heart as his vision went black
“Chairman!”
“Wilson!”
Jace was brushing his teeth when Yoel barged in. He gripped his pants and shouted, “Help!
Emergency”
Then, he hurriedly stood by the toilet. Once he was done, he raised his neck and let out a satisfied
hum.
“Where are your manners?”
Yoel flushed the toilet and pulled up his pants. He gave Jace a toothy grin, “Well, I was in a hurry.”
Jace turned over in disgust. He gave Yoel a cold glare, turned on the tap, rinsed the foam from his
mouth, and washed his face.
Yoel squeezed the toothpaste and brushed his teeth lazily while swiping his phone.
Then, he swiped to the news and saw various headlines about the Jefferson Group, such as’ Jefferson
Group Stock Crash’, ‘Jefferson Group declared bankruptcy’, ‘Wilson Jefferson died of a heart attack’,
and ‘Missus Jefferson charged and detained’. His sleepiness went away at once. He kept chanting
frantically, “F*ck, f*ck, F*ck…” “What the h*ll is going on?” He spat out a mouthful of toothpaste and
showed his phone to Jace. “Jefferson Group has gone bankrupt? Wilson is dead?” Jace wiped his face
with a towel and answered with a faint hum. He had received the news early in the morning. Yoel
scrolled through the news. He knew Jefferson Group’s fall would come sooner or later, but he did not
expect it to be so soon. He turned to Jace and asked, “Did Sage do this?”
