A Replacement Bride

Chapter 58

The Tillman Residence at Kyoland.

Jason was looking at his phone absentmindedly with a frown as he felt a tinge of unrest.

Logically, shouldn't some kind of news come from Covington now? Like whether that b*stard, Keith, is dead or alive? Why is it that nothing has come up even after these few days?

Suppressing the uneasiness inside, he looked up and smiled at the elderly in front of him.

Abraham, who became unamused to see him like this, was about to lecture him when someone suddenly came running in and shouted, "I-I-It's a disaster!"

"Why are you panicking like this? Have some manners! What happened?"

Since Abraham was a soldier in his younger days, he still maintained the imposing aura despite his old age. Seeing how anxious the person was upsetted him, so he chided him with a solemn face.

As the person took his time to catch his breath, he finally explained, "Mr. Tillman, the company is on the verge of bankruptcy!"

"What?"

No matter how calm Abraham usually was, he immediately shot up upon hearing the news and stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him. Are my ears playing with me?

Tillman Corporation is going bankrupt?

Even if the Tillman Family was not the most prominent family in Cechirus, it was still a renowned family in Kyoland. Plus, they had all sorts of political marriages and collaborations at play. The only reason why their family would suddenly go bankrupt in this way would be if the top family of Kyoland made their move. Even if that's the case, they can't just do that so suddenly, can they?

The old servant wiped his sweat and continued, "I-It happened earlier. All the suppliers of our company suddenly called and wanted to cancel our business dealings. Also, they all wanted us to clear our debts at once. Besides that, our collaborators wanted to cancel the contract. The factory in Ewing was shut down, apparently due to failure of passing the emissions tests and violation of safety. Our karaoke centers were also raided and found to have people selling drugs, so they have been shut down too. Also, the project we were collaborating with the city officials has been reported by someone stating that we have been pocketing the money and using lower grade materials. They have uncovered large amounts of low grade materials at the construction site, so the city government is now suing us for contract breach. Mr. Tillman, the family… the family is really finished!"

After the old servant explained everything, Abraham slumped onto the couch, looking a lot older all of a sudden.

"H-How can this be?"
