"?" Claire rcer found the question absolutely hilarious.
"Scarlett Jewel, you give way too much credit."
"If I had that kind of power, would I have let you people sche against ti and ti again?"
Scarlett Jewel refused to believe that Claire rcer had nothing to do with it.
"The rcer Family fell, Mr. Bower was arrested, and now even Chester Lawton and his company are in trouble."
"Everyone connected to you has run into trouble, one after another."
"The ones who went bankrupt, went bankrupt. The ones who got arrested, got arrested..."
"Claire rcer, don’t you think this is all just a little too convenient?"
"Convenient?" Claire rcer sneered. "You know what this is called?"
"It’s called ’you reap what you sow’."
"Why didn’t the police arrest anyone else? Why did they have to arrest them?"
"Why are other people’s companies doing just fine, while theirs went bankrupt?"
"Isn’t this all just karmic retribution for the evil they’ve done?"
"If they had just followed the rules and obeyed the law, would they have been arrested?"
"And now you’re actually saying I’m the one behind all this..."
"Scarlett Jewel, don’t you think you sound ridiculous?"
"Besides, do you really think I have the power and resources to take down three companies?"
To her, it was a completely absurd fantasy.
She could barely scrape together a few bucks and had no connections to speak of.
Let alone taking down three companies in such a short ti and getting their leaders thrown in jail.
Even taking down a single company was an impossible task for her, given her current abilities.
But Scarlett Jewel retorted, "Why not? Isn’t the Rowan Family your backer?"
The Rowan Family?
Claire rcer laughed. "You think the Rowan Family would have the ti to bother with my affairs?"
"Besides, if the Rowan Family really had my back, would your parents have treated like that ti and ti again?"
"Not only trying to force to marry that Mr. Bower, but also setting a trap to sche against after I got married."
"Since they dared to plot against repeatedly, it’s obvious they knew the Rowan Family wouldn’t get involved in my business."
"It’s sothing even your parents knew. Are you saying you didn’t?"
Scarlett Jewel was convinced that Claire rcer had gone to the Rowan Family for help all along.
So, she refused to listen to her explanation.
"Claire rcer, you don’t have to make so many excuses."
"I can’t think of anyone besides the Rowan Family who could make three companies go bankrupt one after another in such a short ti."
"Do you hate them that much? Enough to destroy the rcer Group and even saddle them with a debt of over a hundred million."
The rcer Family had completely collapsed and gone bankrupt, and the rcer father and son were saddled with a hundred-million-dollar external debt.
If her wedding date with Gavin Sinclair wasn’t approaching, Scarlett Jewel really would have wanted to just pack up and leave.
Now, she could no longer be the pampered daughter of a wealthy family.
On top of that, with the hundred-million-dollar debt, the rcer Family was demanding she help them figure out a way to pay it back.
’A hundred million... Is that supposed to be a small sum?’
’They just open their mouths and tell to help repay the money, saying I’m a daughter of the rcer Family and can’t just watch them suffer...’
When Scarlett Jewel got the news, she was so angry she nearly fainted.
’I can’t believe so people can be so stupid.’
’To actually take out a private loan of a hundred million to buy a mountain.’
’And then drag into figuring out a solution.’
’Where am I supposed to find a solution?’
’They just want to ask Gavin Sinclair for help.’
’After all, a hundred million is nothing to the Sinclair Family.’
’But what’s Gavin Sinclair’s attitude toward now?’
’I know better than anyone.’
’The Sinclair Family only agreed to let marry in for the sake of the child.’
’I haven’t even officially married into the Sinclair Family yet, haven’t even secured my footing...’
’How do they have the nerve to ask to help figure out how to pay the debt?’
’I really want to tell the truth and completely cut ties with the rcer Family.’
’But I can’t.’
’If I do, the Sinclair Family will just kick , a liar, to the curb.’
Scarlett Jewel hadn’t had a single good night’s sleep in days.
She was pestered endlessly by the rcer Family every day.
And to maintain her image, not only could she not get angry, she had to pretend to be gentle and considerate while comforting them.
She was about to go insane.
These past few days, she had also been wondering why the rcer Family, as well as Mr. Bower and Mr. Lawton, had all run into trouble one after another.
After thinking it over and over, she felt that only Claire rcer would target these people.
"Claire rcer, I have to ask you, what is your heart made of?"
"I never thought the person they raised from childhood would turn out to be a venomous snake that bites back."
"Mom and Dad raised you, after all. How can a person be so heartless and ungrateful?"
"After you hooked up with the Rowan Family, you couldn’t wait to wipe them out completely."
"I wiped them out completely?" Claire rcer laughed in anger.
"Scarlett Jewel, are you nuts?"
"Instead of looking for the cause with them, you co looking for soone who lives in a rental."
"I’ll say it again: I have never gone to the Rowan Family. Stop trying to pin everything on ."
"Also, you were involved in that sche last ti when the rcer Family tead up with Chester Lawton to set up, weren’t you?"
"You used my desperation to sign the ’Adoption Dissolution Agreent’ to set a trap for ."
"Judith Caldwell is an airhead; she’d never co up with an idea like that."
"Julian rcer and Oscar rcer have brains, but it’s clear they don’t use them."
"Only you... Scarlett Jewel. Only you could have thought of this plan."
"I haven’t even co to settle the score with you yet, and you have the nerve to co question ?"
At the ntion of scheming against her with Mr. Lawton, a flicker of sothing passed through Scarlett Jewel’s eyes.
But it was fleeting, difficult to catch.
Of course, she wasn’t going to admit that tricking her into going to the rcer Family ho by using the dissolution agreent was her idea.
"What do you an, teaming up with Chester Lawton to sche against you? I have no idea what you’re talking about."
"Playing dumb with ?" Claire rcer’s gaze turned cold. "Scarlett Jewel, I’m warning you. Don’t let get any dirt on you."
"I’m the one with nothing to lose right now."
"You’re about to marry into the Sinclair Family and leap up the social ladder, so you’d better not ss with ."
"Otherwise, just how long you’ll get to be the Sinclair family’s Mrs. Sterling—and whether you’ll manage to keep that position—is anyone’s guess."
With that, Claire rcer didn’t spare her another glance and turned to leave.
On the way back, she couldn’t stop thinking about what Scarlett Jewel had said.
’She seems convinced that the Rowan Family is behind the rcer Family’s bankruptcy, as well as what happened to Mr. Bower and Chester Lawton—that they’re getting revenge on my behalf.’
’But the Rowan Family shouldn’t know about my situation, right?’
’Besides, even if they did know, they wouldn’t go this far for , would they?’
’My relationship and connection with the Rowan Family isn’t that deep yet.’
’The rcer Family is completely bankrupt, Mr. Bower was arrested, and Mr. Lawton—the man who tried to assault —was also arrested...’
’These are all people who have hurt .’
’Now, not only are they bankrupt, but so are saddled with hundred-million-dollar debts, and others have been locked up...’
’Never mind that the rcer Family is now in ruins.’
’For guys like Mr. Bower and Chester Lawton to have built their companies up that big...’
’...it would have been absolutely impossible without so connections in high places.’
’Since they had those connections, ordinary incidents probably wouldn’t have had much of an impact on them.’
’And it’s even more unlikely they would have gone bankrupt and gotten into trouble so quickly.’
’If soone wasn’t intentionally targeting and suppressing them, Mr. Bower and Chester Lawton shouldn’t have ended up in their current predicant.’
’Could it be... that the Rowan Family really is helping from behind the scenes?’
