Chapter 108: The Fall of the Reed Family

In the living room, Jared was seated on the sofa, waiting for her arrival, while Beatrice and Mrs. Fanning kept him company. As Tina descended the stairs, Jared stood up to greet her, "Everything alright?" "Yes," Tina nodded, addressing Beatrice and Mrs. Fanning while coming down, "Today will be the last acupuncture session for Shonna. I've just informed her about the medications and treatment plan." Beatrice, overwhelmed with gratitude, escorted Tina and Jared to the door, adding, "The Reed family has just declared bankruptcy."

Tina had already seen the news. The events of the day had completely tarnished the Reed family's reputation. The tide of public opinion had turned. People who had once sided with Amber in attacking her and Jared were now viciously turning against Amber and Elizabeth. The news reported that Elizabeth's hospital room had, in just one afternoon, received over five hundred wreaths, with inscriptions wishing 'early rest in peace to the child tormentor' - a clear testament to the public's fury.

Major banks, suppliers of raw materials cooperating with the Reed family, and downstream dealers who had paid deposits for new perfume products, fearing they would not get their money, were all crowding the hospital, pressing the Reed family to repay their debts.

This time, Elizabeth couldn't hold on and genuinely fainted.

The bankruptcy of the Reed family was announced - not unexpectedly, as it was the ending Tina had set for them. And this time, only two families had taken action against the Reed family; had everyone involved moved against them, the Reed family would have been left with nothing.

Despite everything, Tina had shown restraint for the sake of Hugo and Orchid.

Beatrice spoke again, "I was careless this time, tricked by Amber and even dragged you into this. Don't worry, our Fanning family will make sure she ends up behind bars."

The Fanning family's troubles had been caused by them, but it was Tina who had to clean up the mess, leaving Beatrice feeling ashamed.

Tina didn't say much, just politely bid farewell and left with Jared. Nathan hadn't come today; Jared had driven himself.

On the way, Logan called. As soon as Jared connected the call via the car's Bluetooth, Logan's powerful voice erupted, "You little rascal, I'm returning to the capital in a few days, and you're not here to keep me company. Where on earth have you been?" Jared replied helplessly, "I'm with Tina."

"Oh, Tina's with you?" Logan's tone softened immensely, "You should indeed spend more time with Tina. It's alright not to come back tonight. You young people must be a little impulsive, I can understand."
