Chapter 675

Daniel and Hannah got into their car and left the company.

Lacey, on the other hand, was sobbing uncontrollably.

She had believed that all hope was lost, and that her very next step would land her in the deepest abyss.

The last thing she had expected would be a blessing from the gods!

Zeke hugged her close and said, “Lacey, why are you crying? It’s our lucky day!”

Lacey jumped in realization. “Yeah, you’re right! Everyone! Go back to your posts! We’re continuing with our opening ceremony!”

Within seconds, Linton Group was bustling with activity again.

The crowd that had been huddled around Raider Group began to gravitate towards Linton Group again.

Now that Linton Group had gotten the blessing of General North, everyone began to consider establishing ties with Linton Group.

They figured that they would get into General North’s good books if they were on good terms with Linton Group.

Maybe they would even be able to escape from General North’s scrutiny for supporting Raider Group...

The tycoons led by Ocean’s Chamber of Commerce surrounded Lacey once they saw her.

“Linton Group is a blessing to Oakheart City! Good job, Ms. Hinton!”

“Linton Group shall be the leader of Oakheart’s economy from now on.”

“Ms. Hinton, would you be interested in taking this order from us?”

“Ms. Hinton! We have a better deal for you!”

Lacey knew that being accommodating would bring prosperity to her company, so she accepted every request without hesitation.

Besides, Linton Group needed the support of the tycoons. Getting into arguments with them would not be worth the trouble.

After a long while, the Hintons from Riverdale finally worked up the courage to seek Nancy out.

Not only were the tycoons of Oakheart City siding with Linton Group, even the Ocean’s Chamber of Commerce had established ties with them.

If the Hintons from Riverdale did not go with the flow, they would be isolated and crushed by their competitors for sure.

However, they doubted that Linton Group would accept their apologies after all the bullying.

Aaron steeled himself and walked up to Nancy. “Hey, Nancy, it was really stupid of me to make such a decision. Will you come back? The Hintons need you.”

Nancy was more than happy to hear such words.

She had been ostracized by the Hintons for the longest time, and that was the first time they apologized to her.

How satisfying!

However, it did not mean that they had changed. The Hintons were used to throwing people they deemed as useless out like trash and pleading for them to come back when they proved themselves worthy.

She was not going to give them what they wanted.

“No need, Grandpa. I’m doing well at Linton Group, so I don’t want to change jobs anymore,” she said coldly. “Besides, what am I going to do when I go back? Waste your food?”

Aaron turned beet red.

She had thrown his own insults back.

“Please, Nancy, we’re family! Surely you can’t bear to leave us to die?” Aaron pleaded. “Without you, the Hintons would be dead meat. You grew up with us!”

Nancy glanced at Michael and said, “Grandpa, didn’t you replace me with Emily? I don’t see why I should return.”

Aaron turned around and slapped Michael on the face again the moment he realized what she meant.

“Michael Hinton! Get on your knees now! You’re the one who fed me all the lies about Emily! You’re a criminal!”

Michael kneeled down quietly, too scared to say anything.

Whether he lived or died after that day would solely depend on Nancy’s mood.

“Michael, weren’t you threatening to kill me back then? I’m not forgiving you no matter what!” Nancy snarled.

Aaron’s heart skipped a beat. “What? He tried to kill you? Weren’t you the one who framed him for it?”

Nancy laughed bitterly. “Grandpa, what kind of person am I to you?”
