Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 840: 251: As simple as crushing an ant! _7

This feeling is very helpless.

Although they were five best friends who shared everything, she felt worlds apart from them.

Among the five of them, her and Diana Hershey’s family status was just a bit lower.

But Diana Hershey was too far superior to her.

After all, the Price Family owned a chain of milk tea shops in River City, lived in a villa, and hired a nanny.

She was like a mere leaf among the flowers.

Now she couldn’t even participate in their discussions about skincare products.

The worst part was,

She has an older sister who works in a peculiar profession.

She wasn’t sure if she could still be open with her friends if Delia Frieman’s secret was exposed one day. After all, she already felt like there was a distance between them.

Worry was written all over Rachel Barton’s downcast eyes.

She often wondered, she hadn’t done anything wrong in her life. Why did she have to suffer so much?

Because the White Family Mansion was closest to the Thompson Family Manor, so Viola Thompson and Ethan Viper were the first to get off.

Ethan Viper had been sleeping all along, so Viola Thompson had to carry him out of the car.

After Viola Thompson left,

Flora Tiarks lamented, “I truly think Viola and my cousin Ethan suit each other well, it’s a shame Viola already has a fiancé.”

Hearing these words, Rachel Barton felt a tightness in her heart.

She was puzzled. Why would Flora Tiarks think so?

Just because Viola Thompson is beautiful,

She thought that she was Mr. White’s better match.

But Flora Tiarks had never said so before. Did Flora Tiarks feel that she was not good enough for Mr. White?

….

At the Thompson Family Manor.

Viola Thompson took Ethan Viper straight to the child’s room and then went to the living room.

Mary Perryne and Sawyer Thompson were chatting with Mrs. Thompson in the living room.

Viola Thompson joined in their conversation.

It was then that Sawyer Thompson abruptly received a phone call, his face turned pale in an instant, “What? How did it become like this?”

“I’m going to the company right now!”

Upon finishing his words, Sawyer Thompson hung up the call, “There’s an emergency at the company, and I got to go.”

Viola Thompson, who had been home for such a long time, had never seen Sawyer Thompson with such an expression, “Dad, what’s wrong?”

Not wanting Viola Thompson to worry, Sawyer Thompson replied: “It’s nothing, just a trivial matter. I can handle it. I need to go now!”

With that, Sawyer Thompson rushed off to the company.

Upon his arrival at the company, the Secretary quickly took his suit jacket, her tone very urgent, “Mr. Thompson, The Will Family has suddenly decided to terminate our cooperation, but our initial orders are already in production!”

What’s worse was that they hadn’t renewed their new contract with the Will Family. If the Will Family chose to terminate the contract at this point, they would not bear any responsibility.

“Call for an emergency meeting, I will be there in ten minutes.”

“Understood.”

Ten minutes later, Sawyer Thompson appeared in the conference room, along with all the major shareholders and company executives.

The meeting lasted more than one hour.

But they still couldn’t find a solution.

Sawyer Thompson felt a headache coming on. After the meeting ended, he contacted Dylan Weir.

On the video call,

Dylan Weir looked full of worry, “Old pal, I’m really sorry. I don’t want to terminate our partnership either. It doesn’t benefit me in any way. But you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have.” In order to survive in Country Polluton, he could only do as Nako Garcia said.

After all, the influence of the Garcia Family in Country Polluton was just too strong.

He couldn’t afford to offend them.

Sawyer Thompson then asked, “Mr. Dylan, please be clear, who exactly have I offended?”

“The Garcia Family.” Dylan Weir continued, “Miss Nako Garcia from the Garcia Family ordered me to do this.”

The Garcia Family?

Sawyer Thompson frowned slightly.

He knew, of course, that the Garcias were of high caste in Country Polluton. But he hadn’t had any dealings with the Garcia Family. How could he have offended them?

Soon afterwards,

The news of Sawyer Thompson offending the Garcia Family spread throughout the Thompson Group.

All the investors immediately held a meeting overnight.

The meeting was led by an investor surnamed Tang.

Avery Pakes.

Avery Pakes and Sawyer Thompson had been brothers-in-arms for years. Sawyer Thompson would have never dreamed that in the Thompson Group’s hour of crisis, Avery Pakes would be the first to betray him.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you all should know what the Garcia Family represents in Country Polluton! Right now, Miss Nako is only preventing the Will Family from cooperating with Sawyer Thompson. If we withdraw our investments in time, set up a new company to cooperate with the Will Family, and purchase the merchandise Sawyer Thompson has stockpiled at a low price, we can re-establish our market presence.”

Hearing this, all the investors discussed among themselves and felt that Avery Pakes’ words made sense.

After all, Nako Garcia’s target was only Sawyer Thompson. If they set up a new company, Nako Garcia would certainly not stand in their way! @@novelbin@@

“Avery, although what you’re saying is not wrong, we’ve had a relationship with Sawyer for over a decade. If we kick him while he’s down, will it be…”

“This isn’t kicking someone while they’re down, it’s called being opportunistic,” Avery Pakes continued, “A righteous man can’t do business. We all have families to feed, of course, we have to act in our best interests. However, if you want to suffer together with Sawyer Thompson, I won’t oppose. Those of you who agree with me can withdraw your investments with me tomorrow!”

People are all selfish.

Although he’s been brothers with Sawyer Thompson for decades, he still needs to consider his own situation. Righteous indignation can’t fill bellies, and since they all have families to support, he can’t let his family suffer with him.

On saying this, Avery Pakes continued, “And, we’ve all followed Sawyer Thompson for so many years, and we only get a bit of dividend each year. If we establish our own company, I don’t think I need to explain the potential benefits, right? Not only can we acquire a batch of merchandise worth two billion at a low price. Most importantly, we could seize this opportunity to directly penetrate the market in Country Polluton!”

After all, the Will Family still wanted to continue the partnership.

If they set up a new company, they could replace Sawyer Thompson’s position.

“I agree with Avery!”

“I also agree!”
