Chapter 572 His Company Was Sold
Jeff sighed heavily, rubbing his temples.
âAlright, alright, Iâll be careful, Queenie. Iâm a proud guy, and if this gets out, itâll be a real mess. If people find out I ditched Paula the moment she went bankrupt, Iâd be drowning in spit!â
He really didnât want to go down this road. If it werenât for Paulaâs financial ruin, he wouldnât have even considered the divorce.
Her parents had always treated him well, unlike Amelieâs folks, who were as mercenary as they come.
Jeff felt a knot of discomfort tighten in his chest.
Queenie scoffed, rolling her eyes. âDad, you really have no shame. Youâre worried about what others think? Youâre the one who tricked Paula into marriage! And to top it off, youâve got a whole bunch of kids to deal with. Now Iâm stuck cleaning up your mess!â
âHey! Having a lot of kids isnât the worst thing in the world. I just didnât expect them all to turn out to be deadbeatsâ¦â Jeff trailed off.
He mused, âMy kids might not be the brightest, but they treat me okay. My oldest is always overseas, just asking for cash every month. Honestly, if it werenât for the fact that he might have a

knack for business, I wouldnât be sending him a penny of my hardâearned money!â
Just as he was getting lost in his thoughts, his phone rang. It was
his company.
âMr. Jeff Marsh, um⦠we have a serious situation. The companyâs been sold.â
Jeffâs heart dropped. âWhat? How could that happen? Iâm still running things here! Who would dare sell my company?â
âItâs Paula. Sheâs the legal owner of the company. Apparently, sheâs in deep debt and someone came to buy it out. She sold the company.â
âNo way! Itâs my company! How could she sell it?â he shouted, disbelief washing over him.
âMr. Jeff Marsh, donât you remember? A while back, you were worried about your health and the companyâs future. You transferred the legal ownership and shares to her, and you personally signed off on it.â
âI⦠I didnât! When did I ever give her the company?â Jeff
stammered.
He mused, âThere were some documents that needed my signature when I was feeling unwell and seeing things. Was that when it happened?
Did I actually instruct her to take over?â

His voice rose to a fever pitch. âNo way! Thereâs no way Iâd hand
my lifeâs work like that!â
over
His face flushed with anger, veins bulging on his forehead, eyes wide with a mix of rage and despair.
âThis has to be a setup! Someoneâs pulling strings behind the scenesâthis is a conspiracy!â Jeff flailed his arms, his voice cracking with emotion.
Onlookers stared, shocked by his outburst, but no one dared to intervene.
Queenie shot him a disapproving glare, clearly embarrassed by his display.
Jeffâs face twisted in frustration as he continued to rage, his body trembling with fury, âMy company! Iâve poured my heart and soul into building this, and now itâs just gone? I wonât let this happen!
âI need to get to the bottom of this! I will find out exactly whatâs going on!â He panted, feeling like a wounded animal ready to strike.
The voice on the other end of the line continued, âMr. Jeff Marsh, weâre in the process of being cleared out. There are tax evasion issues, and Iâve already hidden the records. If the authorities catch wind of this, the company would be liable for far more than itâs worth.

âDo you want me to send you the documents or what?â

Jeff was left speechless, his mind reeling with the implications.
It felt like the sky was falling around him. He gazed out at the snowâcovered city, his heart heavy with despair.
His company was finished.
âSend⦠send the documents to me. I canât let anyone find out about this.â
