Chapter 58 Susan Goes Crazy
The Powell family in Capital.
Toby Powell looked down at his phone absently, his brow furrowed, feeling vaguely jittery.
It is reasonable to say that news should have come from the Sea City, and whether that bastard Kevin is dead or alive, there should also be a letter, how come it has been a few days and still no news?
He suppressed the unease in his mind and smiled at the old man in front of him.
His grandfather Angus Powell was not happy to see him like this and as he was just about to reprimand him, someone ran in with a panicked look and shouted as soon as he entered, “Bad news! Bad news!”
“What’s the rush? What’s happened?”
Angus was a soldier for a few years when he was young, and even at an older age, his aura is still there.
When he saw the visitor’s anxious look, he was displeased and scolded with a stern face.
The old man took a moment to catch his breath before speaking, “Mr. Angus, the Powell Group is going bankrupt.”
“What!?”
Even if Angus was calm enough to hear these words, he stood up abruptly and looked at the person in front of him with round eyes, even suspecting for a moment that his ears were faulty.
The Powell Group is going bankrupt?
Even if the Powell family is not the top family in H Country, it is still ranked among the top families in the capital, plus there are all kinds of in-laws in the capital, and the interests are colluded. If you want the Powell family to go bankrupt, unless those few big families in the capital who never meddle in affairs step in, but even they can’t make the Powell family go bankrupt!
The old man wiped his cold sweat: “Just, just now, all of the Powell Group’s suppliers suddenly called and said that they wanted to break their cooperation with us, and that they wanted us to immediately pay back all the money we owed for goods before. In addition our partners have also terminated their cooperation with us.”
“The factory in the south of the city was seized after it was found to have excessive emissions and dangerous operations.”
“Our KTV was found to have people dealing drugs and now it’s been closed down as well.”
“There was also that project with the municipal government, which was reported to have cut corners and used inferior materials, and a large amount of inferior materials were found at the construction site. Now the government department wants to hold us responsible for breach of contract.”
“Mr. Angus, it is really, really finished.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
After the old man finished speaking, Angus fell onto the sofa, and in an instant it seemed as if he had aged a lot.
“Why, how is that possible?”
If it was a coincidence that all sorts of problems were occurring at the same time, he would not believe it.
Angus has at least been in business for many years and knows that there must be someone behind the scenes to mess with the Powell Group.
He shuddered, feeling powerless for the first time.
“Then the Bailey Duncan …” The Bailey Duncan and the Powell family were in-laws, and the only thing Angus could think of right now was to seek the help from the Bailey Duncan to get through this time.
“Mr. Angus, the Bailey Duncan, from the very beginning, let the word out, saying that this time it was our Powell family who had offended the big shot, and they would not help us.”
“Big shot?” Angus seemed to have grabbed the straw that saved his life, “Investigate it, now! Find out who is really trying to mess with the Powell family! Make sure you find him out!”
As long as he knows who is behind it, there is a slight chance of salvation.
The Powell family must not fall, at least not in his hands.
Toby’s face changed slightly at this time, not knowing why, he always felt that it might have something to do with him.
He was just a member of the side branch of the Powell family, and if it wasn’t for his luck that he got into King University and entered the research institute, following Dr. Moore in his research, it’s unlikely that Angus would have brought him into the main family.
Ever since those people in Sea City delayed contacting him, Toby had already sensed that something was wrong, and at this point, seeing that something had happened to the Powell family again, he really panicked.
**
Sea City.
After sending Kevin away, Ruby went straight back to the Harold’s.
Just as she entered the door, she heard the sharp voice of Susan come out.
Ruby could not help but raise her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth curved as she walked into the house.
Susan’s left arm has been amputated, and at this moment, sitting there crying and fussing, Spencer only felt headache.
“It’s you! It’s you! Ruby, you bitch! What the hell have you done to me! What the hell have you done to me!?”
As soon as Susan saw Ruby return, her eyes turned red and she lunged towards her.
Ruby avoided her by turning slightly sideways. Susan was so strong that she failed to brake for a moment and her whole body lost its balance and moved forward, ending up on the ground.
She was in a state of disarray, hideous and crazy, with no semblance of a noblewoman’s manners.
“Susan, what are you doing!?” Ruby stood there, looking at Susan with an innocent face.
Susan gritted her teeth in hatred when she saw this look: “How dare you say you didn’t come back and hurt me that day? Now that my hand is gone, are you happy? Happy?”
“What! Susan, you lost your hand? How did that happen? What has happened?” Ruby came forward with a surprised look on her face and reached out to help Susan.
Susan now hated and feared Ruby, and as soon as she reached out, the image of Ruby disabling her left hand came to her mind, and she immediately turned pale with fear and backed up desperately, “You, don’t come over! Don’t come over!”
“Susan, what’s wrong with you? Let me help you up.” Ruby leaned forward cautiously and extended her hand towards Susan.
“Ah – you get away! Get away! Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!”
Susan broke down and cried out, waving one hand to keep Ruby away.
Ruby stopped moving with an innocent look on her face and turned her head to look at Spencer: “Dad, what’s wrong with Susan? Is she alright?”
Spencer was tired of that, and when he heard Ruby ask, he coldly ordered the maid to come over and pull Susan away.
“Dad, Susan is emotionally unstable, but you’re having your birthday party tomorrow, will she cause any trouble?”
Ruby knows that Spencer value his reputation the most. Now Susan is crazy, he will definitely not let Susan attend his birthday party, even today he will send Susan away.
Sure enough, just as her words fell, Spencer’s face changed, looking at Susan’s crazy and screaming appearance, the disgust in his eyes became heavier and heavier: “She is stimulated, I’m afraid she can’t stay at home, I will send her to a sanatorium.”
“The sanatorium at North Mountain is quite good.” Ruby suggested kindly.
Spencer nodded, his mind already made up.
That afternoon, Susan was forcibly sent out of the house and to the North Mountain Sanatorium.
The North Mountain Sanatorium, which is said to be a sanatorium but is actually a psychiatric hospital, is the kind of place where it’s hard to get out.
Ruby watched indifferently as Susan cried with resentment, and finally she was shoved into the car and sent away. The corners of Ruby’s mouth hooked up in a smile, and she turned around and went back to her room.
This is only just the beginning.
What the Harold family owed her, what they owed her mother and her grandparents, she would always get back, little by little.
