Translator: 549690339
In the blink of an eye, the situation in Linton City changed dramatically.
The once-prominent Jordan Family in Linton City suddenly began to decline, and the stock of the Jordan Group soared to its highest price in two days, only to plunge into the abyss shortly afterward!
Jordan Company fell into a predicant, with chaos erupting within the company.
Even worse, all shareholders blad the sudden drop in stock prices on Chairman Gilbert Jordan, collectively demanding his resignation and preparing to convene a shareholders’ eting to publicly dismiss him.
On the other hand, the Clark Family, related to the Jordan Family by marriage, was not faring much better.
A major project of the Clark Group, which had been negotiated and was about to break ground, was suddenly halted by the governnt. Because of this project, Jacob Clark lost a staggering 150 million, nearly derailing their going public plans.
Jacob Clark, after unleashing his fury at a company eting, stord ho.
At the Clark family’s villa, Juliet Jordan was waiting for his return.
As soon as she saw him return ho, she hurriedly approached him, anxiously saying, “Jacob, sothing happened to my brother. Can you help him?”
Jacob Clark was already upset from work, and hearing Juliet Jordan’s plea made him even more irritated. He angrily loosened his tie and threw it onto the couch, refusing in a bad tone, “I can’t help.”
Juliet Jordan had placed all her hopes on him, not expecting him to be so heartless. Her face turned ugly, and she stepped in front of him, grabbing his wrist, imploringly saying, “Jacob, we’ve been husband and wife for so many years. I’ve never asked you for anything, but this ti I’m begging you, please help my brother. You’re the only one who can.”
She paused, then added, “When you had nothing back then, my brother helped you too. Can you just repay him this ti, please?”
She should never have ntioned that. It only made Jacob angrier, and he raised his hand to shake her off, glaring at her, “You have the nerve to ntion how he helped ! Why don’t you ntion how he humiliated when he lent money back then?”
Juliet Jordan bit her lip and emphasized, “My brother’s attitude indeed wasn’t good, but he really did help you.”
“So I gave him back that 150 million this ti, what else do you want to do, put the whole company at stake?!”
“150 million? What do you an?”
Jacob Clark’s face turned red as he stared at her, sarcastically saying, “Didn’t your good brother tell you what he’s done?”
“What has my brother done?” Juliet Jordan also thought that the crisis in the company ca too suddenly and strangely this ti, but she hadn’t yet figured out what had happened.
Jacob Clark gritted his teeth, “He kidnapped Enna!”
“What?!”
How could her brother possibly kidnap Enna Clark?
“How many tis have I told you to control Jasmine? You promised , but as soon as my back was turned, you secretly let your brother get Jasmine out of the police station. And he kidnapped Enna, too…”
Jacob Clark’s anger wasn’t focused on Gilbert kidnapping Enna, but rather, his fury was directed at the loss of 150 million and the delay of his company’s listing plan.
“Now you still have the nerve to ask for help for your brother? Why should I help him! I absolutely will not help him, and no one can. Do you know who he’s offended?”
‘who?”
“Young Master Lawrence, Baron Lawrence!”
He had just been to the Mayor’s Office, trying to pull so strings to get the governnt to reconsider the company’s project. Only then did he learn that his daughter, who he had never paid attention to before, had actually caught the eye of Young Master Lawrence!
And the “old man” Jasmine had been claiming to have “kept” Enna turned out to
be Young Master Lawrence!
