Betrayed by Fiance, Embraced by Hidden Tycoon-Chapter 255: Hundred Million Loss?
Chapter 255: Hundred Million Loss?
’Who is this woman!? What the hell happened here? Isn’t he in a relationship with Serena Philips!?’ Harvey wondered, puzzled to see Sawyer with a woman. And that woman was not Serena Philips.
Even though Harvey was initially reluctant to spend time in the house, his curiosity about the woman began to overtake him.
"Harvey Jones! Do you want me to drag you into a seat?" Nathaniel snapped, prepared to signal his guards to drag this shameless kid to a seat.
’How could he embarrass our family in front of Abigail? If Abigail had told her grandfather, James would have made fun of me!’ Nathaniel couldn’t help but express the frustration in his mind.
Sawyer was shocked to hear his grandfather was so angry with Harvey. This was the first time he had ever witnessed that. Still, he ignored Harvey. Instead, he tilted his head, smiled broadly at Abigail, and held her hand gently but tightly.
Harvey was so mad to hear his Grandpa’s voice but felt powerless. He could only clench his hand tightly while dragging his feet, sitting opposite his Grandpa in line with Sawyer. His eyes remained fixed on the woman beside his little brother, and he was curious about her identity.
After waiting a few more seconds and no one willing to explain the woman’s identity to him, he finally asked, "Little bro, did you forget something? Who is the bitch beside—"
"Harvey Jones, are you asking for a beating?" Nathaniel could no longer contain his politeness. "One word escapes your lips, and I’ll make sure you end up in the emergency room!" he snapped.
Martha also felt angry, just like Nathaniel. They were both shocked and pissed off to hear Harvey address Abigail as a bitch.
"Harvey, my grandson, how could you speak those words before me?" Martha’s eyes flashed with disappointment at her older grandson.
Not only were Nathaniel and Martha angry with Harvey, but Sawyer, who had been ignoring him since he entered the room, could no longer do so. How dare he call his wife a "bitch."
Instantly, he felt his blood start to boil in his veins. He gave Abigail a warm smile before turning to his older brother. If there weren’t an empty couch between them, he might have punched that mocking face of his.
After looking at Harvey sharply, a sneer formed on Sawyer’s lips as he shifted his gaze to his grandfather.
"Grandpa, please control your emotions. Going to the hospital because you’re upset with my oldest brother is unnecessary..." he said calmly, ignoring Harvey’s sharp glare.
Nathaniel took a deep breath to calm his anger. He agreed with Sawyer. However, Sawyer’s following words nearly jolted Nathaniel from his seat.
"Grandpa, considering the present situation, I think you need to evaluate my oldest brother’s performance at the company. I heard some troubling news. News about J Group might go bankrupt within this year," Sawyer said nonchalantly, but his words instantly shocked everyone in the room.
"What the hell are you trying to say, Sawyer Jones?" Harvey growled furiously. "How dare you spread false news!"
Harvey glared at Sawyer, but he felt confused and curious inside. How could Sawyer know about the trouble he was facing at the company?
He suppressed every negative news out there so his father and grandfather wouldn’t find out. He first tried to manage those matters himself.
Sawyer chuckled at Harvey’s reaction. He didn’t rush to respond, calmly keeping his gaze on his Grandpa instead. He could see confusion flash in his Grandpa’s eyes.
Since handing over the company to his son Walter, Nathaniel had not followed its developments, even though he was still the largest shareholder in J Group. Hearing Sawyer’s sentence just now made him confused and worried.
"Sawyer, what are you talking about?" Nathaniel asked, looking puzzled. "What did you say about the company going bankrupt? Is the company facing some terrible issues now?"
"Oh, Grandpa, you really didn’t know about that? No one tells you about it? Are you seriously not aware of it?" Sawyer asked, pretending to be confused before glancing at Harvey with a questioning expression.
When Sawyer saw Harvey’s face darken as if dark clouds were gathering over his head, he held back a laugh—this was precisely what he wanted to see: his older brother getting furious and annoyed.
"Brother, shouldn’t you tell Grandpa about your hundred-million-dollar project loss?" Sawyer frowned, pretending to think for a moment. But his eyes remained fixed on Harvey, who now glared at him sharply, as sharp as a dagger.
Seeing Harvey open his mouth to speak, Sawyer hurriedly continued, "Ah, maybe my brother thinks Grandpa isn’t important to the company; that’s why he keeps it to himself." freewёbnoνel.com
"What!?" Martha interjected, glaring at Harvey. "How could you do that, Harvey? Did you forget that your Grandpa is still the company’s majority shareholder? He’s the one who built J Group! Young man, you should show some respect to your Grandpa!"
Harvey’s expression darkened with fury directed at Sawyer, who was trying to start this conversation. He attempted to respond, but Sawyer interrupted again, adding, "Or maybe my brother has reported it to Dad—"
When Sawyer noticed Harvey’s knuckles turning white, he trailed off mid-sentence. He felt sorry for attacking him now, but this foolish man needed to learn a lesson after insulting Abigail.
"Hundred million loss? Which project was that? Why didn’t anyone inform me? Harvey, explain it to me now!" Nathaniel’s reaction instantly added to the tension in the room. Now, all eyes were on Harvey, anticipating his response.
Harvey, unable to endure his frustration with Sawyer any longer, could only curse him inwardly. At the same time, he began to plot how to avenge him for his actions.
He gritted his teeth and turned to look at his grandfather, suppressing the anger that controlled his heart.
"Grandpa, don’t listen to my little brother. He knows nothing about business; how could he have gotten such false information? He’s just annoyed with me, so he lied to you. Please trust me, Grandpa, Grandma..." He watched them earnestly, trying to convince them to trust him.
