Lauren’s lips twitched, until her face contorted into a hideous expression.

They shouldn’t have adopted Natalie in the first place! Even as a child, she had always stolen the limelight from Cassie.

As an adult, all she did was to go against the Quinn family.

If Lauren had known that things would turn out like this, she would have just left Natalie to die in the cold.

“No, please don’t hang up, Mr.Walton!” she cried out in a hurry.

“Let’s continue with this discussion.Please tell me what we need to do so that you’ll continue working with us.” The man snorted derisively.

“Do honestly need me to spell it out for you? Don’t you have any idea what you’ve done wrong at all? Our cooperation was built upon integrity, something that the Quinn family is painfully lacking.”

Then he hung up the phone before Lauren could say anything else.

Lauren’s blood boiled after she hung up the phone.She gritted her teeth for a while before bursting into tears.

“Ah! Natalie is out to destroy us! George, you’d better man up and do something before it’s too late. Mark my words.I will divorce you and leave with Cassie if the Quinn family goes bankrupt.Don’t expect me to languish in poverty with you!”

The events that led to Natalie’s adoption replayed in her head at this moment.

“I told you not to adopt a child, but you refused to listen to me. Your parents accused me of being infertile and made my life a living hell because we were childless.I was forced to adopt that child.She turned out to be a jinx who has made it her point of duty to destroy us.It’s all your fault.! didn’t do anything wrong, so I won’t suffer with you here!”

The bankruptcy news took Cassie by surprise.

She sprang to her feet and asked anxiously, “Mom, what did you just say? We are on the verge of bankruptcy? How come? I thought we are extremely wealthy.”

She had been busy living a carefree life, so she knew very little about her family’s current financial situation.

The death of George’s father had dealt a huge blow to the Quinn Group.

George was a pushover, so he couldn’t run the company like his father.

It was harder for him because all the senior executives left with their loyal subordinates one after another.

Even now, he didn’t know what to do.He just curled up in the corner of the sofa like a child.

After a while, he said, “Let bygones be bygones.We can’t undo what has already happened.Let’s focus on the issue on the ground.What should we do now?”
