Chapter 1484:
Choosing not to waste any more time on Yvonne, Harlee gestured to Brenton, indicating it was time to address Yvonneâs use of connections.
Acknowledging her cue, Brenton called his assistant with composed assurance, saying, âStart preparing to make Hampton Real Estate Group go bankrupt.â
Ryder was shocked, unprepared for Brentonâs blunt announcement of Hampton Real Estate Groupâs impending bankruptcy.
âMr. Sanderson, please listen. That was all Yvonneâs doing. It has nothing to do withâ¦â
The surrounding crowd fell silent, not daring to make any sound. Brenton was direct and uncompromising. Hampton Real Estate Group, a significant player in Baythornâs real estate market, was now on the brink by his command, with no chance to argue.
Despite Ryderâs repeated pleas, Brenton remained unmoved. A short while later, Brentonâs assistant confirmed over the phone, âMr. Sanderson, everything is set on my side. Hampton Real Estate Group could go bankrupt at any moment.â
Brenton allowed himself a slight, sarcastic smile, a light casting his features in a regal yet distant glow. Gazing at Ryder, he said, word by word, âIâll offer you one final opportunity. Explain how you managed to get that woman into the crew.â
Initially, Ryder might have chosen to hide the truth to protect his future, but now, faced with Brentonâs intimidating aura, he dared not fabricate anything.
âI didnât doâ¦â
âMuch. I simply called the director and told him the previous second female lead wasnât up to par and that I had a more suitable replacement.â
Your next story starts here gⱯlnÏνðâsâ¤cøm
Brentonâs tone was sharp, his expression dripping with sarcasm as he stared at the director.
âAnd you agreed?â
The director quickly waved his hand, hurriedly explaining, âNo, no, it was Ryder who claimed that the top brass at the Sanderson Group had consented, so Iâ¦â
Ryder interjected, âYes, it was the Vice President from the Sanderson Group who facilitated the connection. I assumed it would be challenging, but he was on board immediately.â
Hearing this, Yvonneâs complexion grew even paler. The Vice President of the Sanderson Group had agreed so readily because he was also her sugar daddy.
With the situation fully clarified, Brenton then looked down and instructed his assistant, âKeep the investigation going and root out any corruption within the Sanderson Group.â
Ryder exhaled deeply, relieved momentarily, believing Hampton Real Estate Group was out of danger. But Brentonâs next words shattered that belief.
âInvestigate Hampton Real Estate Group. Deal with any issues directly.â
Ryder collapsed on the spot. Hampton Real Estate Group was the result of years of hard work by both him and his wife. However, in his desire to claim the largest share and limit his wifeâs profits, he had secretly manipulated several aspects of the business. If Hampton Real Estate Group were to be thoroughly investigated, his actions would be uncovered.
Since the arrival of Brenton and the others, Yvonne had been in a daze, her mind completely foggy. She stared in disbelief as Ryder fell, her eyes widening in shock. She was doomed. Brentonâs mere words had forced the director to kneel, and one of her sugar daddies, Ryder, to collapse. Her fifteen million online fans stood no chance against their power.
Yvonne realized only Harlee could save her now, as it seemed these powerful men all heeded Harlee. Despite her revulsion, she humbled herself before Harlee.
With a forced smile, Yvonne rose and hurried toward Harlee. Harlee watched Yvonne approach, attempting to kneel and apologize, and a flicker of disdain danced across her eyes.
Harlee found Yvonneâs actions utterly shameless and would not tolerate it.
In a swift motion, before Yvonne could kneel, Harlee kicked her away. Yvonneâs body soared through the air and slammed onto the floor hard. The onlookers at theâ¦
