Chapter 220: Chapter 220

Chapter 220:

Angela’s envy had led to her downfall. The Hilton family was doomed by her instigation.

Lonnie, who had been keeping silent until now, stepped forward, his face filled with barely contained fury.

“Since the Hilton family has aimed to sabotage my family out of pure malice, I see no reason to maintain any courtesy. I hereby announce that the Sanderson family will no longer work with the Hilton family from this point on.”

Zandra casually chimed in, “Same decision from the Torres family.”

While losing cooperation with the Sanderson family wasn’t catastrophic, the Torres family’s withdrawal was devastating.

Forty percent of the Hilton Group’s business relied on the Torres Group.

Rolland stared at Zandra in disbelief, but the blow to the Hilton family didn’t end there.

The Gray family immediately called off their son’s engagement to Coralie.

Rosita Gray, the hostess of the Gray family, clenched her teeth. No matter what, the alliance with the Hilton family must not proceed! Her father-in-law had always warned that making an enemy of the Sanderson family was the worst mistake one could ever make. The Sanderson family had ten times the wealth of the Gray family and could crush them as easily as one would squash a bug.

Thus, despite the embarrassment, she decided to end the engagement right on the spot. The Gray family had to cut ties with the Hilton family.

“Mr. Sanderson, Mrs. Sanderson, I regret to inform you that I need to take my leave now. My father-in-law is unwell, and I need to take care of him,” Rosita said respectfully to Lonnie and Skyla.

The timing of her departure raised an eyebrow. Those gathered quickly understood the Gray family was distancing themselves from the Hilton family.

Rolland seethed with anger.

“Mrs.

Gray, what are you implying?”

Rosita had been waiting for this question.

“Mr. Hilton, you are sharp.”

“Can’t you tell? The Gray family and the Sanderson family have always been close allies. If you fail to show them respect, it stands to reason that the engagement between your daughter and my son cannot proceed.”

Coralie felt a deep resentment. Rosita’s words sent a chill down her spine, and she bit her lip hard. Why should her engagement be affected? Why did defending her brother have to ruin her life? She had merely spoken a single word! Why was she the one to blame?

Coralie gave Angela a reproachful look. Why had Angela instigated their father to confront the Sanderson family? It was their younger brother who had caused the trouble. Why should she suffer too?

Coralie lost all control.

Her long nails dug into Angela’s face as she pinned Angela down, raining slaps on her harshly, even slapping Sherman in her rage. She resolved to let chaos reign. Since her engagement was called off, no one else should have it easy. They could all go down together!
