The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 289

Everyone watched the story unfold as if it were a gripping TV drama: the splendid rise and its inevitable downfall.

After the scandal of mistaken identity between the heiresses, Arabella had become a tabloid sensation, spiraling into infamy by harming her own family. The whole saga was more riveting than any soap opera.

Even the writers of TV shows wouldn't dare concoct such a tale!

The police issued a nationwide warrant, placing a bounty on Arabella's capture. Miranda, having had her run-ins with Arabella, was routinely questioned by the authorities.

But before Miranda's conversation with the police, the Hawke family made headlines. Their company, NeuraCore, was officially acquired by the Novus Group as its affiliation, and the entire Hawkes retreated from the company's management, severing all their ties to it.

This sale meant that from that moment on, the Hawke family had no connection to NeuraCore.

The announcement caused quite the uproar. The elite circles, however, were strangely quiet, having foreseen the fall. After all, they'd witnessed plenty of bankruptcies.
