Besides the Capital Circle Bigshots, Cornelia couldn’t think of anyone else.

Marshall sighed, “It’s not impossible. Go and pack up your things, it would be best if you can leave the country overnight. If not, you mother and daughter should go out and hide for a while.”

Cornelia also realized the seriousness of the situation, nodded and immediately went upstairs to pack.

All of Xia’s family’s funds were in the bank.

There wasn’t much available cash.

But adding jewelry and other items, going abroad wouldn’t be a problem.

The mother and daughter packed their luggage, brought their passports, and arrived at the airport late at night to buy tickets for the nearest flight to Uron

Country.

The next day, the news reported the bankruptcy of Xia Group.

The founder, Marshall, was jailed due to the tainted milk powder scandal.

And Mortimer, with conclusive evidence, was directly arrested and jailed, awaiting trial in court.

From then on,

The families of the victimized girls finally saw the dawn of sunlight.

At the same time, they believed in a saying.

Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

The sudden misfortune of the Xia family left the people in the industry shocked.

After all, the Xia family was a century-old household in River City.

The fact that the Xia family could suppress the news of their son’s wrongdoing showed that they had enough power.

But now,

Not only Mortimer’s old case had been dug up, but the entire Xia Group was also implicated, proving the enormous power of the big shot behind the scenes.

Another crucial reason was,

Why did the big shot target the Xia family?

Who had the Xia family offended?

For a time, everyone was in fear, afraid that they might offend the Bigshot hiding in the shadows inadvertently.

Especially those who had been friends with Marshall in the past.

Su Corporation.

Trevor Sherman was sitting in his office.

At this moment, the door to the office was pushed open from the outside.

“Trevor. ”

The person who walked in was none other than Derek Swantz.

Although Derek Swantz was an illegitimate child and his reputation in River City was not good, he was indeed capable,

Trevor was never a go-with-the-flow kind of person.

He only befriended those with real abilities.

“How did you find the time to come over today?” Trevor looked up. Derek continued, “Do you know about the Xia family affairs?”

Trevor nodded.

He was a businessman.

He was well aware of such a significant event in the business world.

The incident with the Xia family not only shocked the entire circle but also left Trevor astonished.

Derek narrowed his eyes, “Who do you think it was?”

“I’m not ruling out the Capital Circle Bigshots,” Trevor said.

For the time being, there should not be any family in River City that could directly cause the decline of the Xia family.

Derek nodded in agreement, “l also think it’s the Capital Circle Bigshots. I don’t know what the Xia family did to offend them, but they dealt such a fierce hand! 1 heard Mortimer was sentenced to death straight away in the first trial.’

Mortimer and Derek also had some connections.

It was hard to accept their friend’s fate from the past.

Trevor narrowed his eyes.

He did not speak.

Derek knocked on Trevor’s desk as if remembering something and said, “Did you meet that expert?”

Derek was referring to the expert who stepped in to solve the crisis of Su Corporation.

“Not yet.”

Mentioning that, Trevor also felt a headache, raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.

“Is it because the terms you offered weren’t attractive enough?” Derek asked.

Trevor sighed, “l can’t think of more superior conditions than letting him name what he wants.’

“So, what’s the situation?” Derek asked with a slight frown.

Trevor shook his head.

“Don’t worry, there will be a way to solve it,” Derek said.

“Hmm.” Trevor looked up at Derek, “How about your family? What’s the current situation, and did Adam Swantz agree to the marriage alliance?”Derek Swantz shook his head.

Trevor Sherman laughed, “Your dad is interesting too.”

What was the saying? You couldn’t force a cow to drink water.

Moreover, with Adam Swantz’s good-for-nothing, incompetent nature, even if he really entered into a business marriage with a woman to support him, he still wouldn’t have the ability to hold up a family.

Clearly, Derek Swantz was more suitable for a marital alliance.

Derek lit a cigarette with a complex expression.

Over the years, he had expanded his network in River City, such as connecting with Trevor Sherman, Felix Coriell, and others….

But even though Matthew Swantz said he trusted him, he never considered letting him enter into a business marriage.

Even if he had endless capabilities, without a powerful support behind him, it would be difficult for him to hold up Swantz Group on his own.

Could it be…

Did the old man plan to leave the Swantz Group to the good-for-nothing Adam Swantz?

Seeing Derek Swantz’s worries, Trevor Sherman laughed and patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, the old man shouldn’t be so muddled.”

“Mhm.” Derek nodded.

Trevor Sherman looked at Derek, “I’ve just finished my business too, shall we go for a drink?”

“Let’s go.” Derek stood up.

The two went to a bar together.

The noise inside the bar was overwhelming.

The suddenly bright and suddenly dim lights were dazzling.

Trevor Sherman and Derek Swantz didn’t find it noisy at all; in fact, they felt more relaxed in such an atmosphere.

Living their days in the treacherous world of business, their ways of unwinding were naturally different from ordinary people.

The next morning…

Right as Viola Thompson got up, the doorbell rang urgently.

Mantou rushed to open the door.

Perhaps because he saw an unfamiliar person through the peephole, Mantou didn’t directly open the door but meowed at the peephole instead.

Who had arrived?

Viola raised her eyebrows slightly, walked over, and opened the door. Strangely, when she opened the door, there was no one outside.

At that moment, Mrs. Thompson, with a head full of silver hair, suddenly appeared in front of Viola, holding a bouquet of flowers.

“Viola! ”

“Granny Thompson! ”

Seeing Mrs. Thompson, Viola was also pleasantly surprised.

“Happy weekend!” Mrs. Thompson handed the fresh flowers to Viola.

Viola took them with both hands, “Thank you. You should have let me know ahead of time so I could pick you up at the airport.”

“No need, no need.” Mrs. Thompson smiled, “1 can make it here by myself.”

As she spoke, Mrs. Thompson walked into the flat with Viola.

A cozy two-bedroom apartment.

It was well-decorated.

So clean that the windows sparkled.

No one would have guessed that a young girl who had just come of age lived here.

There was even a small garden outside.

There was no winter in River City, so the roses in the garden were in full bloom. A gentle breeze blew, carrying a faint scent of flowers.

There was also a swing chair in the garden.

Through this scene, one could almost imagine the young girl napping on a lazy afternoon.

Mrs. Thompson’s mouth corners lifted slightly.

If only she was her real granddaughter!

Viola put the flowers in a vase and turned to look at Mrs. Thompson, “Granny Thompson, you haven’t had breakfast yet, right? I’m just about to eat too, but I can only cook instant noodles, I hope you don’t mind.”

“l don’t mind, I don’t mind.” said Mrs. Thompson.

Viola went to the kitchen to prepare instant noodles for Mrs. Thompson, then poured two hot cups of milk and placed them on the dining table.

“Granny Thompson, breakfast is ready.”

“Coming, coming.” Mrs. Thompson walked over.

“What a lovely aroma, Viola has great cooking skills.” Mrs. Thompson sniffed the bowl of instant noodles and complimented it.

The instant noodles were served with a sunny-side-up egg and vegetables, looking very appetizing.

Mrs. Thompson was indeed a little hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and took a big bite.

After one bite, Mrs. Thompson froze.

Seeing her like this, Viola curiously asked, “What do you think of the taste?”

Mrs. Thompson: . ‘ If only people had no sense of taste!
