Jace looked at him indifferently. “I don’t know.”
Then, he went out of the washroom. Yoel washed up quickly and followed him back. He kept swiping
the news in surprise. “The Jefferson Group was destroyed overnight in such a grand way. Who else but
Sage has such power and courage?” Yoel muttered, “The media reacted so quickly. Even the media
from Nadeem City have reported on this…”
He looked up suddenly and saw Jace sitting on the hospital bed with a glass in his hand. Yoel
narrowed his eyes. “You didn’t take part in this, did you?” Jace drank a sip of water and said
indifferently, “I sped up the process. That’s all.”
Yoel was speechless and silently cursed in his heart. Sage and Jace made their moves at the same
time. They were so scary and powerful together. That explained why Wilson could not handle the bad
news and died.
At the same time, in the Norah Group Chairman’s office.
Hunter stood in front of Sage’s desk and reported the current situation. Sage was resting half reclined
in her office chair.
“I sent someone to the hospital and checked. Wilson has indeed died from a sudden heart attack. The
doctors couldn’t save him.”
Hunter put Wilson’s death diagnosis report on Sage’s desk. Sage did not take it. She rested in her chair
with her eyes closed and continued asking, “Why did the building collapse?”
Hearing Sage’s raspy and low voice, Hunter’s heart shuddered. He knew Sage would ask that, so he
had prepared an answer ahead.
“The collapse of the building was purely accidental. In fact, we have surveyed for the South Ridge
project before. The foundation was very unstable. That piece of land was not suitable for residential
buildings. Therefore, we did not grab it during the bid.”
Hunter said, “Wilson thought it was a big bargain. After winning the bid, he rushed to find a construction
team to build a building. He wanted to quickly recover some cash flow. A small area of the building
collapsed once, but he did not take it seriously…”
As a result, the building collapse became severe. After an on-site investigation by the relevant
departments, they claimed that the building collapsed due to unstable foundations and substandard
building materials.
The collapse led to five injuries and two deaths. Even if Wilson did survive his heart attack, he would
have to bear criminal responsibility.
Sage listened to Hunter’s long report and waved her hand softly to stop him.
“Okay. You don’t need to explain so much. I know you’re not a person eager for quick success. You
won’t risk people’s lives.”
She personally trained him and knew his character well.
Everything that Hunter had deployed recently was enough to make the Jefferson Group bankrupt. This
was not part of it, but it was just the Jefferson Group’s own negligence.
Hearing Sage’s feedback, Hunter breathed a sigh of relief.
Letting Jefferson Group go bankrupt was a small matter, but the lives of people were a big deal. He had
been working with Sage for so long. He knew what Sage could accept and could not accept.
They could use all means to win the business wars, but Sage would not allow anything that would hurt
her principles and bottom line. Hunter would not touch them either.
Sage then asked, “What about Missus Jefferson?
“Oh. I arranged for this.”
Hunter honestly reported to Sage. He had informed Sage that Missus Jefferson, also Jane Jefferson,
acquiesced to her brother’s loan sharking activities. However, her brother ended up with a lawsuit for
another’s death.
“Previously, her younger brother John Wadler took it all on himself and cleared Jane’s name. As a
result, she wasn’t detained. However, after further investigation by the police, they discovered that John
registered two companies, and her sister was the main shareholder with a controlling stake. When
John realized that he might be executed, he immediately changed his tune to reduce his sentence.
Now, he’s saying that his sister, Jane, instructed him to do all that.”
Hunter said, “I had people find out about the two holding companies and reported them to the police.
The lawyer representing John is our man.” Sage opened her eyes and glanced at Hunter. She moved
her crimson lips softly, “Hunter, you’ve improved.” Hunter fell silent. Was she praising him or scolding
him?
“Did Hunter do all these?”
Yoel was stunned to receive the latest information. After hanging up the call, he told Jace,” Sage’s
assistant is not a simple man.”
“He’s a top student from a top university in Mericque. How can he be a simple man? Do you think he’s
just a mere assistant?”.
Jace had never underestimated Hunter. Rather, he had never underestimated anyone around Sage.
“A man who can work with Sage for so many years is no ordinary man. Besides, Sage approved him as
her brother-in-law. I just didn’t expect him to be so strong. Sage must have trained him well.”
Yoel praised , “Sage is amazing. She daringly delegates power to her subordinates. It seemed like
she’s going to train him to be on the management team.”
Shortly after, in the Norah Group high-level meeting.
The meeting participants wețe all the key personnel and main shareholders of the Norah Group. The
high-level executives were all here, looking at Sage with bright eyes.
Almost all of them had not slept all night. They were called to a meeting early in the morning, but they
were in high spirits.
