Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 100

The scent of alcohol was heavy in the air of the room, so potent that Rachel had to cover her nose as she stood hesitantly at the doorway. Sanderson, looking at Kermit’s drunken state, snapped, “You damn fool, you think I want to deal with you? If it weren’t for Dad’s sake, I wouldn’t have come back today”

Kermit, bleary–eyed and swaying, waved a hand dismissively. “Then get lost, who the hell asked you to come back? Let me be clear, even if I’m about to hit it big, or if I end up broke begging on the streets, I wouldn’t ask you for a dime. And you don’t even think about getting a cut of my money” With that, he flopped back down.

Turning on his heel, Sanderson made for the exit, but as he reached the door, he saw Steward, supported by a caretaker, looking pale and unsteady.

Sanderson let out a sigh, “Dad, you heard him. I can’t deal with this right now, and I’m heading back.”

Steward seemed to want to say something, his mouth opened, but no words came out.

After Sanderson left without a backward glance, Steward entered the room and struck Kermit with his cane.

Kermit yelped in pain and leaped from the bed. “Dad, what the hell?”

Steward didn’t say a word and kept swinging the cane, “That’s for sleeping, and for what you said to Sanderson. Don’t you get it, Calvert is a scammer, and you’re being lied to.”

Kermit, who had been hopping around in pain, froze when he heard the rest, sobering up instantly, “What did you say?”

The Delaney Manor was in chaos. Rachel and Juliana clung to each other, weeping, while Kermit stood there dazed for a long time before he and Rachel rushed over to the Smith family to figure out what was going on.

The Smith family had it worse. They had invested a whopping $120 million and only made back $10 million in Interest, which meant they had lost $110 million. The entire family was in the living room, crying their eyes

out, bankrupt overnight.

Rachel and Kermit, seeing this, suddenly felt lucky. Luckily they hadn’t had time to liquidate their newly acquired property and company shares to invest more.

The Delaney Manor was shrouded in gloom, but when Sanderson returned to his new home, he found Lorna sitting gracefully in the dining room, softly speaking with Cordelia.
