daughter what she did. Our Hill Group went bankrupt in the afternoon."

Originally, a while back, the Charrington Group had imposed a business blockade. In order not to offend the Charrington Group, many companies chose to breach their contracts and pay penalties rather than collaborate with the Hill Group, pushing the Hill Group to the brink of bankruptcy.

It was only after Hope pleaded with Miss Darling to invest in the Hill Group that they were barely able to keep it running.

The good times didn’t last long. This afternoon, the Hill Group went bankrupt. David’s assistant called Alexis, telling him to keep his daughter in line and to avoid provoking the wrong people. The bankruptcy was merely a warning to the Hill family.

Ever since receiving the call from the Charrington Group, Alexis had been extremely anxious. Everyone in Soufield knew about David’s ruthless methods. Those who crossed him never escaped unscathed. Just thinking about it sent shivers down Alexis’s spine. So he hung up and rushed back without caring that the company had gone bankrupt.

"Dad, what did I do? I didn’t do anything. I haven’t been out much recently. How can I be blamed for the company’s bankruptcy?" Hope felt that she had been wronged. Tears streamed down her face.

Upon hearing that the company had gone bankrupt, Tina was devastated. Her luxurious lifestyle, filled with monthly beauty treatments, jewelry, new clothes, and designer bags, was now at risk.

Overwhelmed by her sudden change in fortune, she broke down in tears. "Alexis, why did the company go bankrupt? How are we going to survive if it goes bankrupt?"

Alexis sat on the sofa in the living room with his eyes wide open.

"Don’t you the reason? Recently, the company inexplicably fell into crisis. Our partners chose to breach contracts rather than continue their agreements, all because the Charrington Group spread word in the business community. They were afraid to offend the Charrington family.

"The Charrington Group made my company go bankrupt this afternoon. David’s assistant specially asked me to discipline my daughter. This is just a warning.

"Tell me how you provoked the Charrington Group!" After saying that, Alexis kicked Hope again. If not for the fact that she was his only daughter, he really wanted to beat her to death.
