Chapter 1458
One day later
The young master of the Holt family, Jasper, was all over the news. The headlines of the major newspapers, magazines, entertainment headlines, and social media applications everywhere contained information about him.
He was usually very arrogant, causing several people to dislike him.
When they came across such news about him, they commented on how his violent behavior had finally caught up with him.
Holt Group's stock market fell drastically because of this, and a lot of their businesses were forced to be put on hold.
Any agreements signed before the incident were asked to be terminated. The large enterprises as well as small companies had terminated their cooperation with Holt Group.
Moreover, there were many companies that were involved with them. Although some of them had very close relationships with the Holt family, when they saw such a large enterprise fall overnight, they opted to retreat and protect themselves. They were afraid that their own business would be implicated as well.
After all, for such a large enterprise to be uprooted overnight, one could imagine how strong the mastermind behind the trouble was. Holt Group's shares had turned almost to dust in just one night.
When Tyrion received the news, his face became as dark as thunder.
"What is this? Didn't I ask that this piece of news be suppressed? Why is this out now? Did I waste my money for nothing?"
"I heard that someone paid a large amount of money to ruin the entire Holt family."
"Who is it?"
"Mr. Tyrion, young master Holt really did it this time. He tried to harm the wife of Quill Hanover, from Hanover Corporation."
"I know about this. Although Hanover Corporation is very powerful, they would not be so cruel."
"Mr. Tyrion, you don't know this but Maddox Yardley, of Yardley Corporation, is Quill's younger sister's husband..."
When he heard this news, Tyrion's eyes became red and he almost fainted.
Jasper had offended both the Yardley and Hanover Corporations in one go? No wonder the impact was so huge! Both big groups had worked together efficiently to bring them down. How would their Holt family survive such a blow?
However, he was grateful that the Holt Group main headquarters wasn't in the country. The one in the country had long been dissolved and the existing one was currently abroad. He was glad that they did not return to develop their business in the country.
However, that night, Tyrion learned that even his foreign businesses had been affected. After all, it was not just the Holt family who had businesses abroad.
It was just a matter of time before they finished him off.
The speed at which Holt Group fell had left everybody in disbelief. Those who didn't know the inside story were making guesses on the details. Those who knew the inside story didn't dare to speak much. They were afraid that they would be pulled into the matter. It was too risky.
However, Vera did not know about the matter at all. She hadn't been on her phone for some time as she was taking time off to rest. Two days later, after Quill had rested enough, she voluntarily brought up the matter.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"I have something to tell you."
"What's that?"
"The more I thought about it, the stranger I felt. That day, why was there a fire all of a sudden? And when I realized the fire, it was already burning rapidly but it hadn't spread to the whole room. I remembered that I ran to the door but it wouldn't budge no matter how hard I pulled or pushed against it. My cell phone was also gone. The weirdest thing was, how could I sleep so soundly that I didn't realize there was a fire? But I was sure that I was asleep, not unconscious. Something is not right."
As she began to open up and discuss the matter with him, Quill had already settled the issue quietly. Therefore, no matter what enquiries she had, the truth was ready to be revealed.
Thus, he said with a faint smile, "Since everything has been settled and is in the past, you don't have to worry that it will happen again in the future. I won't let you encounter such problems again."
It was the first time he had experienced an event like this too, therefore, he wasn't aware that some individuals would react in such a deranged manner towards it. Now that he had experienced it, he was prepared to take care of everything, and would not leave Vera.
"Settled?" She asked in surprise, "How was it settled?"
"You don't have to worry about it. The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself and the baby. All you need to do is eat and sleep." Eating and sleeping all day? She would surely get fat.
"I just want to know the whole story. Why won't you tell me?"
"It's not something good, so you don't need to know too much about it. Just know that, I will not let such a thing happen to you again."
No matter how much she insisted,
Quill was still unwilling to explain
what he meant that the matter had been settled. Vera, on the other
hand, wasn't in the mood to arguet
about it as she was feeling especially sleepy. Ever since she was able to walk out of the
traumatic experience, her quality of
sleep had improved. As an
expectant mother, she should
accept that her routine now involved
eating and sleeping frequently.
Since he did not have the intention of telling her, she wouldn't ask about it further. After all, this was how he protected himself.
On the other side, Yulia was shocked when she saw the news. She did not expect that Quill would be so ruthless. The Holt family, such a large enterprise, had collapsed. What kind of public opinion would this cause in the industry?
She felt all the more pressured because Jasper had done this for her. Although she didn't agree with him, she still felt guilty about it.
Now that the entire Holt family was gone, what would Jasper think?
Should she pay him a visit at the prison and tell him the news? Wouldn't it be too cruel? However, he also had the right to know the truth. Her head almost exploded with the complicated thoughts. Why?
Why did these things happen? She didn't want to hurt anyone and just wanted to return to see the person she liked. It was just that she didn
expect him to already have one
else. Thus, for a moment, she wasn't able to suppress her anger but she had never thought of hurting anyone. After all, Vera and Jasper had become like this because of her.
Two days later, Yulia invited Quill over as she had something to talk to him about. At first, he rejected her invitation and said that if there was anything
she wanted to discuss, she could just inform Juliette.
She then changed his mind with just one
sentence.
"Don't you want to know why Jasper did it?"
Upon hearing this, he immediately narrowed his eyes and said, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
She held her cell phone tightly, nodded and said, "Yes, it does, so I want to talk to you. If you are not free now, we can arrange another time. We can meet then."
Thus, he made an appointment with her, but they met at the company.
Yulia came in advance, holding a document in her hand, thinking about how she would explain things to him.
