Darius entered his study room and switched on his laptop. He checked his inbox and saw that Bruce had already e-mailed him the in-depth review of the Gillette Group. Delighted, he opened the file and read through it.

Darius was a bit surprised at the overview of the business group. From the overview, it was safe to say that the Gillette Group was a little above average in Almiron City, which was where their headquarters was located

Now very curious, Darius read further into review

As Darius read through the information on the Gillette Group, a myriad of emotions showed on his face, and by the time he was done reading the review, his curious expression was now replaced with a blank

one

It was no wonder that the Gillette Group could thoroughly suppress Chamberlains Corporations, as the Gillette Group was a subsidiary of Dream Investment Group!

The document Bruce sent him contained all the major and minor events that the Gillette Group had been involved in since their formation, which was why it took him as long as two hours to finish reading the document.

The documents also stated the reason why the Gillette Group was targeting Pearl’s father company.

It was because Pearl had beaten up the son of Wilson Gillette, who was the founder of Gillette Group, after he had tried to sexually assault her.

Darius chuckled dryly in his heart after reading the cause of the conflict.

This was definitely something that Pearl would do. After all, his good intentions had been misunderstood by her, and he received two slaps in return. Although it had been a while since that happened, Darius still bore some grievances over the issue.

Darius, on the other hand, fully supported Pearl’s decision to beat up Wilson’s son. It was obvious that she was not at fault, and that Wilson’s son was at fault.

Besides, this was not the first time something like had occurred. There had been a number of similar incidents involving Wilson Gillette and his son, Hank Gillette.

Darius was both infuriated and disgusted by the Gillette father and son duo. They had made use of their lofty background to force so many innocent ladies to do their biddings, and those who had resisted were crushed thoroughly.

He was also disgusted at Dream Investment Group. Even after the altercation he had with Alan Roberts at the business gathering in Ashville city, he still had slight hopes for them, and chalked up Alan’s disrespectful behavior to him,

Now it seemed that he had made a wrong assumption. Since the Gillette Group was a subsidiary of their investment group, he expected them to pay close attention to the chairman of the group.

Since the chairman of their subsidiary group was abusing his power and committing vile deeds, then Dream Investment Group should have either reprimanded him or removed him from his position as chairman. The fact that he was still their chairman showed sloppy management from Dream Investment Group

Darius sighed. Although he didn’t want to get involved in this matter, he could not just sit idly by and let Wilson Gillette do what he wanted. He had to take matters into his own hands.

Sighing once more, he took out his phone and a made a phone call.

Present time

The members of the Chamberlain family all had dejected expressions on their faces. They seemed to see the downfall of their family. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

It seemed inevitable now that the Chamberlain family would fall from grace. After all, even the Killick Group, who usually helped them resolve minor issues refused to help them out this time.

Evans Chamberlains also had a defeated expression on his face. He thought long and hard, but there was no one that came to his mind that he could ask for help.

At such a sensitive moment, Liam’s phone rang

Everybody immediately turned to look at Liam. Each of them had called their friends and anyone they could call to ask for help earlier, but their effort was futile as the only responses they got were rejections. Liam checked the caller ID on his phone and a hopeful expression crept onto his face. The phone call was from Trevor Kellick, the co-founder of Chamberlains Corporations and his close friend

Trevor, a co-founder of the Chamberlains Corporation, was naturally concerned about the situation, therefore he went to seek the aid of his father to help resolve this issue. Since he was calling now, it meant that the meeting with his father was over.

Liam hastily connected the phone call and put the call on speaker.

“Hello Trevor. Did your father agree to help us? Liam asked straightforwardly There was no need to indulge in pleasantries at a time like this.

There was a brief moment of silence from the other end of the phone, before Trevor spoke up.

“I’m sorry.” Trevor said. They could hear the defeat in his voice and thus guessed the meeting’s outcome from his words

“It’s alright Trevor. You did your best.” Liam consoled, even though he was close to shedding tears.

Trevor didn’t respond, and a second later, he disconnected the phone call.

Liam sank to the floor in despair, staring blankly at the wall. Their last hope was utterly crushed just some seconds ago. They’d exhausted all options and there was nothing they could do anymore.

Pearl had both a pained and guilty expression on her face. She couldn’t help but lament in regret. The entire ordeal her family was facing now was entirely her fault. If she hadn’t lost her temper and beaten Hank up, her family would not be in this situation.

Tears of anger and frustration escaped her eyes as she reflected on her actions.

If only she wasn’t so violent.

If only she didn’t visit the restaurant that day.

If only.

They were, in the end, only wishes. What had happened had happened. There was no way to turn back the hands of time.

Evans noticed his great-granddaughter standing dejectedly in the corner of the hall sobbing silently. His heart ached terribly at that moment, and he couldn’t help but yell out. “Pearl! Stop crying! None of this is your fault.” Evans admonished her weakly.

Pearl hurriedly wiped the tears off her face, but everyone had already seen her crying.

“That’s right Pearl. Don’t cry. No one is blaming you for this.” Jules said heatedly.

“If there’s anyone to blame, it should be Hank!” Jules added angrily.

Pearl didn’t say anything. Even if they didn’t blame her, she still believed that she was the cause of the conflict between the two companies

While everyone was still pondering what to do, Liam’s phone rang again.

He dejectedly answered the phone

without examining the caller ID. The caller’s following words, however, jolted him to his feet.
