She typed furiously on her keyboard. Her gaze remained riveted upon the screen but her eyes were filled to the brim with tears. She had put in a lot of effort into the development of these cars. When she first heard from the press conference that these cars were entering the international market, she was over the moon. Now that she was forced to recall them, it was no wonder that she was filled with anguish. Besides, the news came out of a sudden, ruining everything. Only a few minutes had passed but it felt like an eternity before she sent out the email to the company's branches all over the world. It was a simple email written concisely but it marked the end of the Richards Group. In less than an hour, the world had received the news that the Richards Group was doomed. All the cars were recalled from the market within a few hours. The market was forced to look for other sources. Hence, companies such as the Whalen Group, as well as other smaller companies gained the
Old Master Richards had once advised him to stay away from politicians, as the relationship with them would eventually become complicated. After the incident, Hansen couldn't agree more. They were helpless, unable to do anything, and were forced to obey Sergio's orders. Although they had done nothing wrong, they had been charged with a serious offence. How infuriating! Back then, Old Master Richards had been threatened by a politician as well. Hence, he went the extra mile and tried to groom Norton to be a politician, so that he could protect Richards Group in the future. It was a pity that Norton did not appreciate what he had done and his efforts had been wasted. The members of the Richards family could only be associated with politicians who were part of the family. Staying away from politics was one of the rules that Old Master Richards had emphasized to the younger generations. However, Hansen had been blackmailed, despite being cautious all this while. He was fo
"Okay, that's great." Matteo was satisfied with Zoella's answer. To be honest, he knew very well that his son was not good enough for Zoella. However, their family was prestigious and powerful. His son had a high social status. Zoella met the requirements of becoming his daughter-in-law. Not only was she capable, she was also well-mannered and smart. She had an elegant demeanor and would not ruin the family's reputation. Looks did not matter to men. As long as they were successful and well-off, it was a piece of cake to find a capable wife. Although his son was not worthy of Zoella, Matteo was confident that he could force Zoella to remain loyal and serve the family with his wealth and social status. Back then, when Zoella approached him and suggested her plans, he not only admired her courage but also recognized her abilities. Hence, he agreed to help her, on one condition, which was to marry his son. Didn't she wish to start a company called Sky Sword Group? As long as sh
Meroy noticed that Jenna looked very haggard and distraught. It was apparent that she was very anxious. Hence, she spilled the beans and attempted to comfort her. "To be frank, Madam, Old Madam may be right. After all, she is getting old. Everyone will eventually die one day. It's normal for a person to experience signs and symptoms such as these at her age. Don't worry too much about it." Jenna was feeling very anxious and uneasy. Vivian had said a lot that day when she came over. This had never happened before. It was apparent that she was aware of her health condition, which was why she asked her to come over and instructed Meroy to hand her the accounts book and the records of the family history. Now that she thought about it, it was as if Vivian was prepared to leave any moment. Jenna was filled with anguish and tears coursed down her cheeks. "Meroy, we don't have any control over life and death, but we must bring her to the hospital when she is unwell, whether she lik
The Richards Group was still brightly lit even though it was late at night. All the executives were still busy at work. Hansen had not slept a wink in the past few days. He had been busy conducting meetings with the executives as they analyzed the current situation, trying to find out the cause. All the evidence pointed to the fact that the GPS of the cars manufactured by the Richards Group had records of leaking out the nation's top secrets. It was an immutable fact. There was nothing else they could do except to recall the cars from the market. The point was, how was the document containing the nation's top secrets installed into the system? Was it an error or was someone framing them on purpose? He had analyzed the situation very carefully. It was highly unlikely that it was a programming error. In fact, it was impossible. Only one possibility was left. Someone had deliberately inserted the document into the system to frame the company. Such a malicious
Their laughter and chatter could be heard from time to time. Sergio was in the office next to theirs. He was smoldered with resentment as they were apparently enjoying each other's company. Despite their predicament, they were laughing very happily. It was as if they were on cloud nine. "Great. Laugh while you can. You guys would not feel like laughing anymore soon." He thought angrily. The muscles along his jaw clenched and his eyes glowed with savagery. Although they were under immense pressure, he did not catch sight of them being in distress or agony. They were as affectionate as ever to each other and disregarded everyone else. At this moment, he was suddenly filled with a sense of emptiness and loneliness. Nothing could make him feel better. For the first time in his life, he realized that life wasn't just about politics, power, and profits. There was something much more precious. Something which he never had before. After lunch, Jenna packed u
"So you are Sergio?" Sabrina was extremely shocked. She looked at Sergio in disbelief. Her father, General Delia had called her numerous times, saying that the Xanthe family would love to have her as their daughter-in-law. He asked about her opinion regarding the matter. Sabrina was in no mood to think about marriage. Hence, she grew evasive and tried to avoid his calls as much as possible. To be honest, although she lived in Capital City, she had never seen him before, as Sergio was mostly in the army. However, she had heard that he was very good-looking and talented, which was why her father agreed to the marriage. However, she was not interested in him. She was surprised to see him over here even though she had no feelings for him. Hence, she widened her eyes in disbelief as she examined him from top to bottom. "Are you Miss Sabrina?" Sergio stood up and smiled at her politely. "Yes." Sabrina sized him up for a while. Once she confirmed her first impres
"Sabrina, is it you?" she asked in a quivering voice. "Yes, it's me." Sabrina blinked back her tears and answered with her voice raised. Although Vivian was experiencing some hearing loss, she heard clearly what Sabrina had said. She stretched out her withered hand to hold hers as she struggled to sit up. Jenna quickly stepped forward and supported her by holding up her back. She placed a pillow behind her and helped her lean against it as she patted her back to help her catch her breath. "Sabrina, I'm so happy that you have come to see me. I thought that you would never set foot in Richards Manor again in your life." Tears streamed down her cheeks and her hands were trembling violently, as she held Sabrina's hand. Sabrina was filled with anguish and burst into tears. She lowered her head as tears streamed down her cheeks. "Sabrina, the Richards family is indebted to you. Norton has betrayed your trust. We have never blamed your father for going agai
