From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 517

"Mr. Morris! The construction accident on the north site-someone fell to their death. The family's gone public, and now the authorities have shut down all work!"

"Mr. Morris! The Revenue Office says we're under investigation for tax evasion. They want your full cooperation!"

"Mr. Morris-"

By noon, Daly Morris looked like he'd aged a decade.

He'd spent over thirty years in the business world; he knew this wasn't some random misfortune. Someone was deliberately targeting the Morris Group. There was no way all these crises would hit at once by sheer coincidence.

What now?

Suddenly, Daly thought of Mr. Christensen.

Yes-Mr. Christensen!

The last time the Morris family faced a financial crisis, it was Mr. Christensen who convinced Daniel to step in and save them.

Mr. Christensen was utterly taken with Rebecca. There's no way he'd just stand by and watch the Morris Group go under.

The thought was like a weight lifted off Daly's chest. He rushed home to the Morris estate.

Sandra was in the middle of a card game with a few socialite wives in the sitting room. She looked up, surprised to see Daly home so early. "Daly, what are you doing back at this hour?"

Daly didn't answer her. Instead, he asked, "Where's Rebecca?"

"She's upstairs, reading," Sandra replied, tossing out a card.
