Chapter 727 A Complete Victory
Susan felt very wronged. Seb was a smart person, so why wasn't he thinking clearly?
It was understandable that he misunderstood her last time, but this time it was really hard to comprehend.
Feeling disheartened, Susan said angrily, "Let him think what he wants. If he wants to believe the worst, then we can just stay out of each other's lives for good!"
Although she said that, Susan's heart was still very hurt at this moment.
Isabella rolled her eyes. "Don't be dramatic. You know you don't mean that. Could you really handle never seeing him again?"
Susan propped her chin and said, "What's so hard about it? Honestly, we should have cut all ties when we divorced. I'm the one who made things complicated by holding on, and now I'm paying the price."
"Alright, alright. Once this matter is over, you should explain things to him properly," Isabella advised.
Susan simply lay down on the bed. "Who wants to explain to him? It's better to just cut ties completely."
Staring at the ceiling, Susan looked utterly despondent.
"You should understand that Seb is at a critical juncture right now. It's normal for him to be emotional," Isabella surprisingly spoke up for Seb this time.
Hearing this, Susan suddenly sat up and asked, "How is Prosperity Group doing now?"
Seeing Susan's anxious look, Isabella teased, "See, you do care about Seb after all."
Hearing this, Susan lay back down and turned her back to Isabella, saying, "Who cares about him? I'm just curious."
"Leon hasn't called me for several days. I called him once, but he didn't have time to talk to me. I guess the struggle must be very intense this time," Isabella said worriedly.
Hearing this, Susan was silent for a long time, her brows furrowed. It was a lie to say she didn't care.
Early Monday morning, as soon as Susan sat down in her office chair, Isabella burst in.
"Susan, big news!" Isabella placed a newspaper in front of Susan.
"What now?" Susan took the newspaper and started reading.
Isabella, unable to contain her excitement, chattered, "The collapse at the Prosperity Group construction site is today's headline news. No one was injured. The dozen or so workers were in an underground space and were all rescued yesterday. The cause of the collapse was found to be quicksand underground, unrelated to the construction process or the quality of the building!"
Hearing this, Susan's face lit up with joy. "Really?"
Susan quickly read the headline news. This was indeed good news because it meant that Prosperity Group's reputation was saved, and Seb wouldn't be too implicated.
"There's more good news I haven't told you yet," Isabella said, flipping the newspaper to another page.
"What?" Susan looked at Isabella in confusion.
"See for yourself," Isabella smiled.
Hearing this, Susan looked down at the newspaper and frowned.
The headline on the other page read: [Prosperity Group Vice President and Anderson Family son-in-law Andrew arrested by police for allegedly murdering his wife Rylee.]
Seeing the headline and the accompanying photo, Susan was stunned!
"Andrew was arrested?" Susan was shocked.
That bastard Andrew was strutting around in front of her a few days ago. She never expected that he'd be arrested in just a few days.
"Andrew is really ruthless. Rylee was so obedient to him, and he killed her for her property. They've been married for so many years. He's a beast, not fit to be human!" Isabella lamented.
Seeing the news and photo of Andrew in jail, Susan felt a sense of satisfaction!
That scumbag Andrew finally got what he deserved. With him in jail, did that mean Seb and Prosperity Group's crisis was over?
No, there was still Evergreen Ventures Group. They had started acquiring Prosperity Group's stock. Even with Andrew in jail, Evergreen Ventures Group wouldn't give up. Although Prosperity Group's reputation was saved, they still suffered significant losses, especially with their stock value dropping by a third.
Wasn't Seb worried about not having evidence to charge Andrew with Rylee's murder? How did Andrew get arrested so quickly? Seb must have found the evidence.
The next moment, Susan's eyes caught the headline below Andrew's arrest news, and she was stunned!
The headline read: [Evergreen Ventures Group involved in tax evasion scandal, Chairman and CEO taken by police for investigation.]
Seeing this news, Susan was dumbfounded!
This was a masterful move, with three major events happening simultaneously. This must be Seb's doing, right?
Seeing these three news articles, Susan knew that Seb and Prosperity Group's crisis was over. Moreover, Evergreen Ventures Group and Andrew were now in deep trouble and wouldn't cause any more problems.
"It looks like Prosperity Group is safe this time," Susan said with a hint of joy.
Although she was angry with Seb, she didn't want him or Prosperity Group to be in trouble.
Isabella frowned and said, "I also think Prosperity Group is out of danger, but why isn't Leon answering my calls?"
Hearing this, Susan smiled and said, "Although the crisis is over, there are still many follow-up matters to handle. The busier it gets, the more there is to do. Don't worry, in a couple of days, he'll have time to spend with you."
"Really? That would be great!" Isabella said excitedly and went off to do her work.
Susan now envied Isabella. Her relationship with Leon was stable and simple. Besides a pair of estranged siblings, Isabella had no other family. From what Susan knew, Leon also had no family. Without family involvement, their relationship was purer. She hoped they could get married soon.
Susan quickly opened her computer to check the stock market and found Evergreen Ventures Group's stock. She couldn't help but smile.
As expected, Evergreen Ventures Group's stock hit the limit down at the opening. If things didn't turn around in the next couple of days, it would likely continue to plummet.
With Evergreen Ventures Group in trouble, they wouldn't have the resources to go after Prosperity Group anymore.
