Chapter 375
At the Daugherty Corporation, Aaron and Ruby could do nothing except watch helplessly as the
company stock price plummeted quickly.
“Duke, Daugherty Corporation is unable to withstand such a blow. Please go easy on us.”
Aaron could no longer pretend not to care. If this continued, Daugherty Corporation would only end in
one way: collapsing into bankruptcy.
Duke’s lips curled into an ice-cold, malicious smile. “So, are you all still denying it?”
Ruby supported herself on the desk while her entire body shivered.
As her pale lips trembled, she pleaded, “Duke, no matter what, Dew has taken care of Georgie and Hal
for four years. Her hard work deserves some credit. Please spare us. Spare the Daugherty family.”
The smile on Duke’s face disappeared at that instant.
He arose menacingly, his eyes twinkling like a pair of eagle eyes, “That is to say, you two were also
aware of that matter? That incident from four years back?”
He sent out an aura that fell upon Ruby with staggering weight. Her entire body shook, and she could not
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsay a word.
Taking a deep breath, Aaron explained, “We all believed that Addy had died four years ago, and we
could not bear to see her children grow up without her, so we devised such a solution. The blood of the
Daugherty family does flow in Georgie and Hal, so don’t you think dealing with the Daugherty
Corporation will disappoint them?”
Duke was on the verge of losing it.
“Adina is the biological mother of my two sons, and her blood flows through them!” He said coldly, “And
the Daugherty family almost forced my sons’ mother to death. Who do you think the two children would
be disappointed with?”
He sneered, “You all should be grateful for now that Adina owns shares of the Daugherty Corporation.
Otherwise, the Daugherty Corporation would have disappeared from Sea City tonight.”
Aaron slumped on the sofa.
Ruby’s fear was evident in her eyes. She had a feeling that Duke’s revenge would involve more dreadful
tactics.
“Buzz buzz!”
Just then, her cell phone vibrated.
She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Dew. She did not dare answer it and immediately
declined the call.
Duke saw the name flashing on the phone screen as well. He laughed lightly, “Answer the call. I’m keen
to know how the two of you mother-daughter duo plan to trick me once more.”
He had been deceived for four years. That had been over a thousand days and nights. He would never
let the Daugherty family off the hook! Collapsing the share prices of the Daugherty Corporation was just
his first step.
The call had already disconnected, but Dew called again. Ruby refrained from looking into Duke’s eyes.
She answered the phone with trembling hands.
“Mom, listen to me. You need to act fast to sell all the stocks in your hands and all the fixed assets. Sell
them all at once. It doesn’t matter if the price is high or low. Everything must be sold.” Dew said in a
raspy and wretched voice, “Quickly transfer me a hundred million. I’m leaving the country now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRuby’s heart gradually sank to the bottom.
Duke seemed to have approached her daughter. What exactly did Duke do to Dew to cause such fear in
her?
“Mom, are you paying attention to what I’m saying?”
“Dew, Duke, he, he’s right here next to me.” Ruby’s voice trembled, “The Daugherty Corporation’s stock
price has already dropped. The stock can’t be sold off.”
“What?!”
Dew’s shocked voice echoed throughout the hall.
She leaned against the car. The chilly wind kept blowing into her collar, but her heart was the source of
the chill in her body, not
the wind.
Duke, this man was too ruthless…
Along with wanting to kill her, he also wanted to bring the Daugherty Corporation to bankruptcy. He had
no intention of sparing her.
“Dew, just go away, go as far as you can. Don’t return to the Daugherty family anymore.” Ruby shouted
into the phone.
