Chapter 301
Love Is Fair
Chapter 301 They Went Bankrupt It was another busy night. What an eventful time!
Mr. Edwards and Isolde were standing at the door of the operating room with anxious faces.
Hearing Lucaâs screams from the operating room, Isolde only lelt a pain in her heart She covered her mouth and sobbed, âOh, my poor son!â
Newell was distraught, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said impatiently, âOkay, our son isnât dead yet. Why are you crying?â
âHeâs my flesh and blood. How can I not feel sad?â Isolde sobbed. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she said, âHailey is so vicious. She beat Luca up and even broke his hands. What are we waiting for? We should call the police and arrest her.â
âDo you think I donât want to? Didnât you see how badly your son hurt Eve?â Newell looked cold and sneered, â1 knew that bastard was up to no good. He said he was going to see Eve to get back together with her. I thought it was a good idea. If they could get back together, then our family and the Newman family would still be related. For Eveâs sake, Hailey wouldnât make things difficult for us. Maybe she would cut us some slack. But he beat Eve and she lost the babyâ¦

Speaking of which, Newell couldnât wait to pull his son out of the operating room, âEven I want to beat him, let alone Hailey!â
âWhose father are you? How can you defend an outsider?â Isolde was not happy, and she tried to defend his son, âI know Lucaâs character. Heâs gentle like a lamb. If you talk to him nicely, he will not lose his temper. Eve must have said something unpleasant to annoy him, so he hit her. Donât feel sorry for the baby. We havenât done a paternity test, and we donât know if the baby in Eveâs belly is our grandson. Probably itâs not.â
âBut there is still a possibility. What if it is?â Newell was very angry, âDonât try to defend your son. He has become like this because youâve spoiled him! Youâre an indulgent mother!â
The old couple was talking and quarreling again. The nurse came out and reminded Newell with a frown, âThis is in the hospital. Donât make any noise.â
Newell felt dizzy with anger. He sat down on the bench, waved his hand, and said, âI wonât argue with you.
When Luca comes out, we have to take him to the Newman family to apologize. We have to put it to rest.â
âWhy should we apologize? Why should our son apologize?â Isoldeâs eyes widened, âHailey hit my son.
Iâm nice enough not to ask her to apologize. She wants us to apologize to her. No way!â
âYou⦠youâre so shortsighted!â Newellâs head ached. He rubbed his brows, and said tiredly, âThe current Newman family is not the Newman family three months ago. Hailey is no longer the innocent girl we met three years ago. Donât you feel scared when you see her? In just three months, I havenât heard much, but she joined Mr. Moore from North City and Mr. Holland from Belindao City and built a racecourse.â
Speaking of the racecourse, Isolde became interested, âAre you talking about the racecourse in the northern suburbs?â
âYes.â Newell nodded heavily.
Isolde looked unhappy and said, âWhen I think of it, Iâm angry. Today I originally invited some friends to play mahjong, but they all stood me up. They said that there was a racecourse opening in the northern suburbs, and they all went to participate in the event. They asked me if I had received an invitation letter, and I was so embarrassed. Even Mrs. York from the fireworks factory was invited. Iâm the wife of the chairman of Freaktube Group, but I was not invited. Itâs outrageous!â
Newell smiled sarcastically and said, âIâm the chairman of the Freaktube Group, and even I wasnât invited, let alone you. Hailey made it clear that she didnât take us seriously.â
âI just said that this little bitch is too arrogant. Does she think that the current Poya City is the world of the Newman family? It belongs to our Edwards family now, okay?â Isoldeâs face was full of disdain and arrogance.
Newell looked at her irritably. His wife was still immersed in her dream of being âthe richest manâs wifeâ.
Little did she know that the richest man in Poya City had already changed. They had now become heavily indebted, let alone the richest.
Lucaâs hands were severely broken, and it took more than four hours for them to be reconnected during the operation. Luca was finally pushed out of the operating room.
He was their son, and they certainly cared about him.
Isolde greeted Luca immediately, holding him and crying. Newell had stayed up all night, and he was too tired to hold on anymore. He stood up against the wall and was just about to go over to see his son when the vice president of the company ran over in a hurry, and his face was covered in sweat, âChairman, itâs so badâ¦
something happened!â
He staggered and almost tripped. Newell held him up and said with a stern face, âWhat happened? Tell me!â
âThe building collapsed, and the project was shut down, and many workers were buried.â
Newellâs heart sank, âHow could this happen? Letâs go and take a look⦠How are the casualties?â
⦠Two men died.â
Newell paused, knowing that once someone died, things would be bad. He said with a sullen face, âHurry up and contact their family, block the news first, and negotiate privately!â
âThatâs too late.â The vice president said, âThe collapse was too severe. It caused a riot among the workers and disturbed the surrounding residential buildings. Now the media have rushed over, and many reporters have come outside the hospital.â
Hearing this, Newell ran out and his heart was beating violently.
After a few steps, his phone rang, and another vice president of the company called.
As soon as he answered the phone, the man said, âItâs so bad, Chairman, the financial director ran away overnight. The marketing department collectively issued a resignation report, and they also sued the company for arrears of wages and violation of labor laws!â
âStock crashed! Freaktube Group is overâ¦â
Such news hit Newellâs heart like one hammer after another. He covered his chest and fainted.
âChairman!â
âNewell!â
Owen was brushing his teeth when Matthew rushed in with his trousers down in his hands, âItâs an emergency!â
It wasnât until he stood by the toilet that he raised his neck, let out a satisfied sigh, and shivered.
âWhere are your manners?â
Matthew flushed the toilet, put on his pants, and grinned, âI was in a hurry.â
Owen tilted his head in disgust and gave him a dirty look. He turned on the faucet, rinsed the toam in his mouth, and washed his face.
Matthew squeezed some toothpaste on his toothbrush and brushed his teeth while lazily reading online news on his phone.
When he read the news, such as âFreaktube Group stock crashâ, âFreaktube Group declares bankruptcyââ, âMr. Edwards died of myocardial infarctionâ, âIsolde was detained in a lawsuit for murderâ, his drowsiness Listen to the rest of the chapter in audio
