In just a week, Garland Group’s stocks were shorted by Winnie and Nathaniel. The two of them bought the majority of the shares at a low price, and Hamish’s private investment projects all went down the drain overnight, causing him to become heavily in debt within the span of a few days.

All the real estate under his name had been offset by the bank, leaving only a mansion in the inner ring that was temporarily not seized by the bank due to the ownership issue.

That was also the mansion where Winnie was temporarily staying in.

Only then did Hamish think of going back to that house.

Since Yara still had a lot of properties under her name and she was still married to Hamish, he wanted to ask for money from her to solve his current crisis.

However, Hamish only remembered that his wife was not at the mansion when he returned to the residence.

When the room was haunted that night, Hamish became frightened. Furthermore, he shunned Yara after she went crazy and drove away by himself.

He didn’t even bother asking where Yara had gone or what she was doing afterward.

Hamish had always been a cold and selfish person who had no regard for his wife’s well-being.

However, the situation had changed, and he needed Yara’s money to save himself.

Therefore, Hamish immediately called her.

Much to his dismay, his call went unanswered, and he became infuriated at once.

After smashing many things in the living room, Hamish slightly regained his senses. Then, he called Nancy, the housekeeper who had been serving Yara for years.

Nancy answered the phone immediately.

“Hello, Mr. Garland. I was about to call you. I didn’t expect you to call me first.”

Hamish did not have time to listen to Nancy’s nagging and went straight to the point. “Where’s Yara hiding now? Did anyone from the bank or court reach out to you both? Forget it. It’s pointless to ask you. Just pass her the phone!”
