Chapter 348 The Fall of the Cater Family
Evander sneered, a cruel glint flashing in his eye, and said, "William, you really are shameless! What makes you think you can destroy my family? I am a billionaire worth hundreds of billions! Can you compare to me?"
'Overestimating yourself! Do you think knowing Alan gives you any clout? In this society, it's no longer about knives and guns; it's about connections and money!' Evander thought disdainfully.
"Evander, you're very arrogant. That's both your strength and your weakness. Your family will meet its end at your hands," William said calmly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
The reason he had been tolerating the Cater family was because he didn't want to alert his enemies.
But Evander didn't know his place and kept pushing his limits.
He deserved to die.
Evander chuckled, raising an eyebrow, and said coldly, "Alright, let's see how you can bring down my family."
"Oh, I must remind you, my family is not comparable to that loser Lucian. Behind us stands the Miller family, a transcendent family!" Evander sneered, completely dismissing William.
William chuckled coldly at the mention of the Miller family, his eyes flashing coldly as he declared, "Evander, even the Miller family is nothing to me. Haven't you asked why Jessica doesn't dare to come to me herself?"
This sentence was like a dagger, piercing Evander's heart.
He had asked before, but Jessica told him not to pry.
What did that mean?
Could it be that William really had some formidable background?
That was impossible!
Even if he did, so what?
Could he compare to the Cater family?
In a small town like Lindwood City, the most powerful were George and the Eagle Group.
"No matter what you say, tonight's outcome won't change. I want to destory BK Pharmaceuticals; there are negative news about it everywhere. Within a day, it will definitely go bankrupt, and even your pregnant wife will face legal trouble," Evander announced indifferently.
He added, "I hope by then, you can still talk big like you are now!"
William shook his head helplessly and directly dialed George's number, looking at Evander as he said, "Since you don't believe me, face it yourself."
With that, George answered the call on the other end, speaking respectfully, "Sir, everything is ready."
William nodded and said calmly, "Begin. Make the Cater family history! Strip all members of their assets, reduce them to commoners, and cripple the core members, making them beg for a living!"
Everyone was shocked.
He was so arrogant.
He actually wanted to destroy the Cater family and reduce even the core members to beggars?
Could these words really come from a useless freeloader?
It was too fake!
Many people stood aside, silently sneering in their hearts, 'This idiot is quite the actor.'
'Overestimating himself, that's the Cater family!'
'William is really overdoing it. Let's see how he ends this, loser!'
The entire hall was filled with tension, and Keith, holding his broken arm, screamed, "Dad, kill him! You must kill him! He broke my arm!"
Keith now hated William to the core.
Evander would naturally retaliate against William. He glanced at Keith. However, he didn't dare to take action as the entire hall was filled with people William had brought.
"William, are you really going to go against me?" Evander asked coldly, unmoved.
William just shook his head lightly.
Evander was too arrogant, not knowing there was always someone more powerful. Did he think Jessica could protect him?
The Cater family didn't deserve to exist because it was corrupt to the core.
"Alright, William, let's see how you destroy my family!" Evander suddenly shouted. He had shown enough respect for William, but William was relentless.
But just as Evander finished speaking, his phone rang.
In the entire hall, the only sound was the ringing of his phone, drawing everyone's attention to him.
He was stunned for a moment, hurriedly answering the phone and asked irritably, "What is it?"
On the other end, a panicked voice immediately responded, "Sir, something's happened! Our company has suddenly been taken over by a group of people, and the leader is auditing our accounts!"
Evander frowned, glancing at William. Was it him?
No, it was impossible.
"It's just a small company, no big deal. Go back and find someone to smooth things over. Do I have to teach you how to handle this?" Evander snapped. 'Truly a bunch of idiots,' he thought angrily.
But then, the voice on the phone said, "No, it's our headquarters that's been seized!"
Now, Evander panicked, his face changing dramatically as he asked, "What, the headquarters? When did this happen?"
This had never happened before.
What was going on?
Even now, Evander hadn't connected it to William.
"Just five minutes ago," the voice on the other end replied.
Five minutes ago?
Wasn't that right after William made his call.
Suddenly, Evander's gaze locked onto William, and he shouted, "Was this your doing?"
As soon as he said this, cold sweat broke out on his body.
Everyone present also realized something was wrong!
At this moment, someone exclaimed while looking at their phone, "Look at the trending news! The Cater Group is being investigated!"
He shouted, "And the Cater Group's stock is plummeting, down 30%, hitting the limit! The Cater Group's stock crashed!"
Suddenly, everyone was looking at their phones, with news articles dropping like bombshells, one after another!
Evander was in a complete panic!
He frantically checked his phone, and as he saw the news, his face turned pale.
At this moment, various calls came in, all from representatives of the company's shareholders' meeting.
Evander exclaimed, "What? You want to withdraw your investment?"
Answering another call, he said, "What, the stock hit the limit? No! We must stabilize it! Stabilize it! I'll find a way!"
Evander was in chaos; the Cater Group was facing the biggest crisis in its history!
And all of this was entirely the doing of William across from him.
His eyes burned with rage as he glared at William, roaring, "William, you're playing with fire! I don't know how you managed this, but it's all in vain! The Cater family has powerful backing!"
"Backing?" William sneered coldly.
With that, he directly turned on the LCD TV in the hall, switching to the news channel.
Coincidentally, it was an emergency news broadcast!
The host reported, "The Cater Group is under investigation, and all its assets have been seized!"
Upon hearing this news, Evander was completely panicked, his body went limp, and he staggered, breaking out in cold sweat.
He thought in despair, 'It's over. It's all over! My family is truly finished!'
The people backing him didn't come through.
Only then did Evander realize the magnitude of his mistake.
William wasn't just a cunning fox; he was a lurking dragon, fierce and formidable!
'Calm down! Calm down!' Evander told himself.
Evander was the head of the Cater family and had faced and overcome many great challenges, so he quickly calmed down.
At this point, he quickly took out his phone and dialed Jessica's number, his voice filled with panic. "Madam, something's happened, the Cater family is finished!"
On the other end, Jessica's calm voice said, "Evander, you are no longer under the protection of the Miller family. Handle this yourself."
With that, the call ended.
Evander realized he was completely abandoned, who was a discarded pawn!
He completely broke down, closing his eyes, clutching his chest, and fainting in the hall.
William, however, just coldly watched everything, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. He said to Alan, "Make sure everyone who insulted or touched Mary goes bankrupt!"
With that, he turned and left!
Everyone in the hall now understood William's immense power and all knelt, begging, "Mr. Jones, please, spare me!"
However, William showed no sympathy for them.
"Go to Cloud Peak Manor," William said indifferently.
The convoy headed straight for Cloud Peak Manor.
Meanwhile, Cloud Peak Manor was heavily guarded. Jessica, in a white knee-length dress, sat gracefully on a white goose-feather sofa in the hall, holding a Persian cat in her arms.
Behind her stood Zoe.
In the hall, eight Miller family guards stood on each side, fully armed.
A furious shout came from the hall entrance. "Jessica!"
William, with a group of people, stormed in aggressively!
