...

The development of the Nash Group’s going bankrupt was much faster than Margaret had thought.

It had only been five days since the accident happened.

Before the Anderson family could take the next step, the Nash Group went bankrupt.

It made the four major families feel that it was unfair to win since they had just started and the Nash Group was already over.

Did they do it too cruelly? It was said that the Nash Group could last for a week, but it actually failed on the fifth day.

...

Margaret and Riya had an appointment to do the prenatal checkup together in the afternoon.

Their husbands just followed them step by step as if they were the knights to protect their princesses.

Margaret held her not- fragile waist and said, "Amelia is really too pitiful. In the future, she has no her own family anymore, and her life must be very hard."

Riya turned to look at her and could not help but say, "You are such a hypocrite."

Margaret rolled her eyes and didn’t care.

Instead, she even showed a smug smile.

"It’s she herself who offended a woman she couldn’t afford to offend at all. How dare she drugs such a noble lady like me."

Riya looked at Margaret with disdain and walked past her.

Margaret swore that if she had known earlier, she would not have helped her.

After Riya went far, she looked at Julian and asked with dissatisfaction, "Does she despise me?"

Both of them were young ladies of noble families. She didn’t think that she was inferior to Riya at all.

Was it because her husband was not good enough?

She glanced at Julian and thought that it was all because the Jorgansen family was too poor!

Julian seemed to not see her warning gaze and just said lightly, "Your number is in front of her."

He was implying that if Margaret was still immersed in such boring topics, Riya would see the doctor earlier than her.

Margaret hurriedly walked to the consulting room. She then asked, "Is my prenatal period ahead of hers?"

Julian replied, "Five days earlier than her."

Margaret felt it so great. She must give birth to the child before Riya.

In this way, her child would be older than Riya’s.

At the thought, Margaret felt happy.

She turned around and patted Julian on the shoulder, "I find that you are quite reliable."

Julian and she did it ahead of Stefan and Riya.

She was satisfied!

Julian was not that excited. He just thought that it was useless even if he calculated the days carefully.

After entering the examination room and getting checked, Margaret was told that everything went well. Riya looked at the child’s health diagnosis and heaved a sigh of relief as well.

She had been worried for a long time when she was told that her child was growing slowly.

Recently, Riya had been taking good care of her child. Now that the child had grown up smoothly, she felt that her hard work had not been wasted.

The fish that she disliked but still forced herself to eat was not in vain after all.

Margaret took the check-up list and whispered in her ear, "Let’s compare it."

Riya frowned, "Compare what?"

"Isn’t the data on it? Let’s compare it and see if it will be the same."

Margaret had a curious look on her face. Before, her belly was clearly much bigger than Riya’s. Now, she guessed that the difference ought to be even bigger.

Riya packed up the list and raised her head to Margaret, "Sorry, I don’t want to do such a boring thing. The one in my belly is the only child of the Key family. If something is wrong with it, can you afford it?"

Margaret was speechless.

How could she not afford it?

She just didn’t think that the child of the Key family was so important. After all, she was pregnant with the first child of Julian’s.

Her eldest child!

Margaret imagined that after her child grew up, he or she would definitely be much stronger and healthier than Riya’s child!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but turn her head and tell Julian, "When our child is born, you must teach him and do exercises with him!"

When the time came, their children must be able to defeat Riya’s and Stefan’s children! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

In the Jorgansens’ villa.

Because of the Nash family’s matter, the Jorgansen also suffered a lot of losses.

Some of the projects that were originally set up had already been completed halfway.

With the Nash family going bankrupt, these projects had to be canceled.

Brittany sat in the chair seriously.

Listening to Sophie’s words, she became even gloomier.

She did not oppose the fight between the descendants of the Jorgansen family. After all, only those who had the great ability were qualified to inherit the Jorgansen family.

However, if they hurt the interests of the Jorgansen family, it meant that these descendants were so useless.

How could she allow such a thing to happen?

"Madam, Julian is here."

The housekeeper reported in a low voice after entering the room.

There was no expression on Brittany’s face, but the flesh on both sides that had already drooped down still showed a trace of heaviness and solemnity.

In the Jorgansen family, Brittany was still the one that nobody could ignore.

She did not participate in any of the company’s internal affairs, but the 35 percent of the shares of the Jorgansen family in her hands was enough to shock the entire Jorgansen family.

The old lady had said that these things could only be given to the heir of the Jorgansen family, and no one else would be able to get a single cent.

Even if they had any ideas, it would be impossible for them to change this old lady’s mind.

She would not allow any outsider to take away the Jorgansen family’s property and power.

The old lady slightly nodded. Soon, there was a sound coming from outside.

Julian came into the room. Before he got close, Brittany had already said, "Kneel down!"

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was especially low and deep.

There was no joy or anger in her tone, but these two words were enough to make everyone serious.

In addition to some special etiquettes, if one violated the family rules, he would be asked to kneel.

Julian stopped walking. Following the old lady’s words, he knelt down in front of her.

The stiff floor on the ground was cold, just like everyone in the family.

The uncles and aunts beside him watched and did not intend to help him.

After all, Julian was not their son. He was lucky enough to be one of the heirs of the Jorgansen family.

The Jorgansen family’s eldest son was Marcos. Now he was paralyzed at home and had no fertility anymore.

Even though he had received an elite education and had good business methods, he had no children and was still disabled. Therefore, he was already doomed to lose the possibility of inheriting the Jorgansen family.

Among the other sons, only Julian was old enough. John and Alice had two sons, but they were all disappointing.

Therefore, they could only watch helplessly as Julian held power and inherited a lot of the Jorgansen family’s shares.

"Tell me. Is the Nash family’s matter related to you?"

Brittany asked coldly.

The news that the Nash family suddenly went bankrupt came so quickly and accurately. Brittany was not a fool.

It was impossible for a large corporation to fall so quickly without anyone behind it.

This person definitely had a relationship with the four great families.

Otherwise, how could the Anderson family alone defeat the Nash family so fast and completely that they had no power to fight back?

It was terrifying.

Such a person made Brittany so worried and afraid.

She could not let such a horrible thing happen to her Jorgansen family.

"Of course, it is related."

Julian replied calmly. Sophie gritted her teeth in anger secretly and sneered, "You finally admit it. The Nash Group and the Jorgansen Group have been working together for so many years. The relationship between the two families is so close. However, you actually cooperated with other companies to gang up on the Nash family because of a woman!"

Sophie’s voice was full of anger and resentment.

Her voice also got much louder, "Since you dared to attack the Nash Group with outsiders, one day, you may turn to scheme against your own company."

This sentence really worked.

Everyone’s expression changed, and they subconsciously looked towards Brittany.

Although no one spoke for a while, there was tension in the air.

The old lady’s expression was visibly gloomy as if she was extremely dissatisfied.

After a while, Alice smiled and said, "Sophie, aren’t you being too harsh? You can’t blame Julian for everything just because the Nash family went bankrupt. It’s you who asked for trouble at first.

"Your Nash Group is bankrupt, but our Jorgansen Group may not be like it." No matter what, Julian was surnamed Jorgansen, not Nash.

Alice thought that the reason why Julian was so cruel to attack the Nash family took was that he didn’t have any relation with the Nash family.

No matter what, Julian had no reason to help outsiders and scheme against his own family.

It was true that Alice’s words were unpleasant and made Sophie unable to keep calm. Even the countenance of others presents changed as well.

John then whispered to Brittany, "Mom, it’s better to ask this carefully. Julian doesn’t seem like he would harm our Jorgansen family."

Julian was already the successor of the Jorgansen family, and now he had the backing of the Anderson family.

Everyone knew that as long as nothing unexpected happened, the Jorgansen family’s new head must be Julian sooner or later.

Sophie sneered and said, "John, Alice, isn’t it too early for you to say this so firmly? "Did our Nash family ever harm the Jorgansen family?"

John was questioned by Sophie, his younger generation, and he immediately felt so embarrassed and upset.

Then, he snorted and replied, "It’s hard to say."

All these years, the Nash Group and the Jorgansen Group, had a lot of cooperation, and there were more and more projects. Therefore, there were more and more deep dark secrets in it.

Everyone kept quiet, but in their hearts, they were more or less aware of this matter.

It was really impossible for the Nash Group to annex the Jorgansen Group by just making Sophie marry into the Jorgansen family.

"John, what do you mean by this?"

Sophie became irritated at once.

Her expression also became a lot gloomier.

Julian just watched quietly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He didn’t even need to say anything, for he knew that these people would soon have no mood to blame him.

Sure enough, the few people were about to start arguing.

"Your Nash family went bankrupt, and you want our Jorgansen family to stand up for you. But you have to remember that it was your family that offended others and got revenge. The Anderson family and we are relatives by marriage, but we have nothing to do with your Nash family.

"Although your Nash family is in trouble, it’s your own affair. We won’t offend the Anderson family for this. Besides, we still don’t know what happened to the Key and Marley families. Sophie, you are not trying to get our Jorgansen family involved in your family’s awful messes, are you?"

John’s words got more and more displeasing.

The old lady was getting more and more displeased as well.

Sophie then said angrily, "You are just talking nonsense. How do you know that they are not aiming at your Jorgansen family by attacking our Nash family first? Without the Nash Group, how long can the Jorgansen Group live well?"

Sophie was in a hurry to get the Jorgansen Group involved with the Nash Group.

At this time, only when the Jorgansen Group treated the Nash Group as a warning could they help the Nash family out of trouble.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The grudge between the Anderson family and the Nash family has nothing to do with the Jorgansen family. If you were not jealous of Julian’s wife, how could you offend the Anderson family? To put it bluntly, you are the one who caused trouble for the Nash family. Just don’t try to confuse the fact."

"Stop!"

When Brittany saw this, she coldly interrupted them, causing everyone in the room to instantly quiet down.

Sophie was so anxious that she could not understand what the old lady meant.

In the beginning, she obviously wanted to help her, but now ... she couldn’t understand her thoughts.

Brittany’s gaze fell on Julian, who was kneeling on the ground, and then she said in a deep voice, "Go ahead!

"How do you want to deal with the projects with the Nash Group? Are you going to ask the Jorgansen Group to pay for it?"

As soon as the old lady finished asking, Sophie felt that something was wrong.

Her expression immediately turned pale.

She realized that Brittany was asking about the Jorgansen family’s losses.

After all, once the Nash family went bankrupt, many projects had to be shelved, and the project funds that they owed previously were all lost.

Brittany only cared about these things. She only wanted to know whether the Jorgansen family suffered losses or not. As for whether the Nash family was one with them, she didn’t quite care about it.

Sophie became much paler as she listened.

She knew the old lady’s ruthlessness, but she did not expect that after so many years, she would actually not show any affection to the Nash family.

She could not help but clench her hands into fists.

These people only cared about themselves, and no one cared about her and the Nash family.

Once the Nash family was completely finished, these people probably would think that she had no value anymore and would soon kick her out.

Julian, who was still kneeling on the ground, did not seem to feel guilty when faced with the old lady’s question.

He just said, "The Anderson family has agreed. The Anderson Group will be responsible for all the projects from the Nash family. The Key and Marley families have already made a new project agreement and will sign the contract soon.

"As for the Nash Group’s debt to our Jorgansen Group...

Julian glanced at the pale Sophie and said, "Jorgansen Group’s law department will invite the court to cooperate with us to press for payment from the Nash Group."

Sophie immediately gasped in astonishment. She was afraid that the Nash Group was really finished!

The others in the room also were shocked.

It was such a big mess in the Nash Group, and the Jorgansen family surely had to pay much money.

They just hadn’t expected that the Anderson family actually accepted it so frankly. And what about the Key and Marley families? When had Julian made friends with them?

Everyone looked at each other, and they all had complicated feelings.

How come, Julian, who usually looked so polite and calm, could take action so fast and accurately?

It was already surprising enough that he had a good relationship with the Anderson

family, let alone with the Key and Marley families.

It was said that officials from the government department would also investigate the Nash family’s matter. It was obvious that someone really wanted to doom the Nash Group to death.

Thinking so, these people present no longer dared to offend Julian.

Brittany’s eyes were narrowed slightly.

No one could tell what she was thinking at the moment. The old lady nodded slightly and replied, "It’s good that everything went smoothly. I’m also tired now, and I’ll leave these to you. Alright, get up."

Everyone was surprised because this old lady actually finished this discussion so suddenly.

Not only did she not say a single word of reproach, but she did not even care about what would happen then.

By saying that she would leave those matters to Julian, Brittany was obviously delegating some of her power to him.

The hidden meaning in this sentence was too shocking. Julian would soon become the true head of the Jorgansen family.

Sophie and Andy’s dreams were broken!

Sophie just stood there in a daze, watching the old lady get up and leave. From beginning to end, she did not look at her or say a single word to her.

The Nash family was over, so ... her value in the Jorgansen family was gone as well.

In the eyes of the Jorgansens, Sophie was less important than a maid.

Thinking so, Sophie sneered.

She realized that the Jorgansens were all heartless devils!

This time, she was the loser!
