FULL NOVELXO Chapter 235 Crisis of the Duncan Group
William recalled his every step and believed he had perfectly carried out his plan.
Then William called Jane, "Your son is in my hands!"
"William?"
Jane was waiting for the kidnappers' call when she suddenly saw the familiar phone number and immediately pressed the answer button.
William was astonished.
One sentence and exposed? No way!
"Janie, how did you know?"
It was a shattering blow for William. He planned the kidnapping and looked forward that Jane would come to redeem her son. But he was recognized by both of them. William did not know what to say. "Honey, it's your number."
Jane looked at "Honey" on the screen and smiled.
She thought, "I've found my husband and my son. That's great. Nothing matters, as long as the families are safe and healthy."
William took a look, and then he found that he had not used an anonymous phone card.
"Honey, are you safe?" William's safety was Jane's top concern.
It seemed that William should be in City J but could not show himself up for some reason.
"Very safe."
At least it was much safer than home. Normally, people could not find this place. Even if they found it, they would not be able to enter.
"That's good."
Jane was finally relieved. Since he was safe, her son could stay there.
Jane was so panicked about Dayton's loss. She was worried that even home was safe enough.
There were many servants in the Duncan's. It was hard to guarantee that no one took bribes. One could never be too careful about families' safety. "Darling, I will wait for you home."
Jane finished and hung up the phone.
She understood he had his plan, so it was OK that he chose not to come home.
William, "?"
Frowning, William looked at his phone for a long time. But it remained only beeps. Jane had already hung up.
His wife seemed to be too calm.
"Daddy, someone is monitoring our home. Mommy will be followed when she goes out."
Dayton did not know what exactly happened. But Lainey told him there were police out of their house.
Mommy asked Lainey to send the police meals several times. The police were polite.
William nodded. He was not surprised that Jane did this.
When he received the news and returned to City J, it was time for him to take action and put an ending to the whole thing.
Jane and William finally got connected. However, Jane realized it was too short a call after she hung up. She had not told William things about the casino and the Underground Network. "Jane, how is it?"
Robert and Pearl stood anxiously by the door.
"It's fine."
Jane made a silencing gesture and told the two of them the truth. As for other family members, they would temporarily think that Dayton had been kidnapped. "William is back?"
Robert felt refreshed. Sagged for such a long time, he was finally energetic again. He clenched his fists. It seemed that all was William's plan.
"Jane, Ada is a witness. Keeping an eye on her these days, and we don't need to do anything else."
Robert meant to wait for the news quietly. If the two parties acted together without informing each other, he was afraid of alerting the enemies.
Jane felt much relieved when she realized Dayton was safe. She did not say much to Lainey but to tell her he was not in danger.
In a few days, the stock price of the Duncan Group fell again. Many projects stopped because of the lack of funds.
Some of the good partners had withdrawn their investment, making the situation worse.
Jane read at the financial news and sighed silently. She did not know William's plan, but at present, the group was in a financial crisis and was not far from bankruptcy. "The Duncan Group is like a brick building. The higher it is, the more dangerous it will be. One brick collapses, and the wall may fall. Like a domino."
Daisy temporarily stayed in the Duncan's and paid much attention to daily news.
Sophia's death brought the butterfly effect, which seemed to be even crueler than the previous life.
Daisy vaguely remembered that something had happened in the Duncan Group, but it passed soon. The crisis had never become that terrible.
Everyone's fate had more or less changed for it. Daisy was even more worried that she would end up the same as her previous life.
Except for the Duncan's, the other celebrities were also not at peace. Keith and Julia divorced. Their marriage ended indecently for the dismemberment of property.
A few days later, another shocking news broke out: Julia had a mental problem. She bit a servant's arm and a piece of meat at home. She was sent to evaluate her psychiatric condition and then to a mental hospital.
City J was sweltering in June. Jane was shocked by this news and told Daisy for the first time.
"It's not a mental illness, but a drug addiction."
Daisy said in silence.
She was the only Cart who didn't take drugs and knew nothing about everything.
Keith planned to make Julia's addiction severe enough to go crazy and then to twitch. Then he would arrange a mental assessment for her to destine her mental illness and send her away.
A mental hospital was dangerous enough, and even a healthy person would get some problems.
"What are you going to do?"
Daisy had changed much after being beaten by Pearl. The love between Julia and her disappeared. Her mother seemed to become a stranger.
"I want to see her and try to convince her."
If Julia surrendered herself to the police, the latter could investigate the casino. Then the Underground Network would be exposed.
"But it will be a hard job." Daisy thought.
Even though Andrew was looking for her, she couldn't just stay here forever. She had to do something.
"Alright, be careful."
Jane respected Daisy's decision and didn't say much.
She saw Daisy off and welcomed Frederic.
Recently, the Duncan Group had been so busy that Frederic became haggard soon. There were dark circles under his eyes, which made him ten years older. "Madam."
Every time Frederic saw Jane, he wanted to cry. When would this stormy day pass?
He slept in the company and had not been home for a long time, not to say dating.
Fortunately, his girlfriend, Jessica, worked for Jane's company. Instead of being emotional, she always tried to cheer him up and worked harder for the group. Frederic rubbed his hair and was about to go bald.
"Frederic, it has been hard on you recently."
Jane comforted Frederic with a delicious and nutritious meal, which had been prepared for a whole day.
It smelled so good, and his stomach growled.
"Frederic, why do you come to me?"
Jane got straight to the point. At this juncture, it was not good to beat around the bush now.
"Madam, the capital flow is not enough to turn over, so the board of directors decides to sell the entertainment company."
Frederic said frankly.
The main projects must keep on; otherwise, the losses would be even more severe. Comparatively speaking, the entertainment company was less vital.000
