Chapter 304
Overnight, the Gold family went bust and went viral.
The netizens jokingly said that their family was a negative example of criminal law for
everyone, and they should be awarded a “Lifetime Achievement Award” for being so
dedicated to popularizing the law.”
Jean was detained on charges of hiring a hitman and abetting murder. Although it was not
enough for the death penalty or life imprisonment, it was at least a 20-year jail sentence.
Jean was 50 years old, so she would probably spend the rest of her days in prison.
Patrick suffered a heart attack and was admitted to the ICU due to this huge blow. The
scene was chaotic at the time, so he could not get rescued in time. This resulted in
cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, brain tissue damage, and severe coma.
“Ms. Gold, you must be mentally prepared. There is a great possibility that your father will
remain in this vegetative state.”
After hearing the diagnosis from the doctor, Rosalind, who was standing at the door of the
ward, felt like she was struck by lightning. Her stiff face lost all color.
The Gold Corporation was heavily in debt. In the past few days, manufacturers and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcreditors went to look for Rosalind to ask for payment. Rosalind was so scared that she
stayed in a hotel and dared not go home.
Between hiring a lawyer for her mother and her father’s hospital bills, Rosalind had almost
used
up the remaining of her savings, which gave her a taste of what it felt like to be poor.
However, things got worse. Within two days, Roza Walker’s employee found Rosalind. That
day, Rosalind left the dress behind when she ran away from the banquet. When she
remembered the dress and went to pick it up, she discovered that the expensive dress
was covered in footprints, as it had been trampled on like a piece of rag.
“What?! Five times the compensation?!”
Rosalind clutched the claim form and shouted angrily. Her eyes were red with anger. “Five
times the amount is more than $6 million! Why would you charge me $6 million for a piece
of tattered clothing? Why don’t you just rob a bank?!”
“It’s only $6 million. Do you think it’s expensive?”
Roza’s assistant smiled. “Those who order dresses from us are either rich or famous. They
can afford dresses in the tens of millions of dollars, let alone $6 million. If you thought it
was expensive, you shouldn’t have borrowed Ms. Walker’s clothes in the first place. Why
would you buy something you can’t afford?”
“You! How can you talk to me like that?! I want to file a complaint against you!” Rosalind
was so angry that she was breathing fire. Her facial features were contorted.
“Okay. You can complain as much as you want, but please pay the compensation to the
account on the claim form within two weeks. If you don’t pay us in time, we will bring you
to court.” After that, Roza’s assistant looked at Rosalind contemptuously and left.
Rosalind narrowed her eyes and plopped down on a chair. At first, she covered her face
and
sobbed softly. In the end, she could not hold it in anymore and burst into tears.
After a while, she was tired of crying. She gritted her teeth, wiped her face, and drove to
Tideview Manor alone.
Now, her last hope was Shannon.
How could Shannon shirk off the responsibility for putting Rosalind in this situation? That
woman was her aunt, so she could not stand idly by no matter what!
At this moment, the Salvador family was in the dining hall.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNigel’s condition stabilized, so his complexion turned rosy again. The old man did not like
staying in the hospital and had returned to his villa in Crescent Bay to recuperate.
Everyone in the Salvador family was present tonight. Justin was also at the table.
However, the dining atmosphere was so depressing that they could get indigestion.
Usually, Shannon liked to show off her love for Gregory at the dining table in front of Justin
by sharing food.
But tonight, Shannon and Gregory each ate their own food. Gregory’s face was gloomy,
and Shannon kept picking at her plate. She clearly had no appetite.
However, Bethany had a great appetite and ate more than usual.
“You should eat less! Can’t you see that your face is much rounder than before? You’ll
have trouble getting married if you keep this up!” Shannon was frustrated because of her
sister’s family affairs. Seeing Bethany stuffing her face, Shannon finally found an outlet to
vent her
anger.
“Tsk! Why can’t I eat more? Besides, I don’t need to worry about getting married.”
Bethany muttered and said nonchalantly, “Dad, Mom, you don’t need to look so sad.
Although it’s a difficult problem to deal with now, it’s better that you find out sooner rather
than later. Short-term pain is much better than long-term pain.”
