Chapter 883
Wyatt answered the phone calmly in the sunlight.
Before he could speak, a trembling voice came from the other end. "Wyatt, I have been punished. What else do you want from me? Death?"
Wyatt's fingertips turned pale as they rested on his knees.
Hatred swirled in his eyes, endless and deep, he said, "Of course not."
His voice was gentle, just like before.
"You have to stay alive," Wyatt continued, "Rebecca, everything I have today is because of you, so of course, you have to stay alive."
The call was from Rebecca.
Starting yesterday, the Anderson family's stocks were shorted by the largest bear company in the industry.
In just two days, the stock price plummeted by seventy-three percent.
The person behind it didn't even bother to hide their intentions.
As soon as Tyler inquired, he discovered it was Wyatt.
He urgently called Wyatt.
Wyatt got straight to the point. "It's been half a month; why haven't you divorced Rebecca yet? It seems to me that you and Rebecca have a deep bond, and you are willing to face my retribution together."
"Rebecca doesn't want to!" Tyler cried anxiously. "Mr. Durham, we are equally very disgusted by her behavior. As soon as my family and I learned the truth, we immediately filed for divorce. The process is already underway. You can check it!"
"I only care about the result; I don't need to waste time on this," Wyatt replied coldly.
During this time, Rebecca stayed at home, afraid to go out.
When she heard that her husband was coming, she thought he was reconsidering their years of relationship and didn't intend to divorce her.
However...
Rebecca ran out of the house brimming with hope.
What she received was a slap from Tyler, who showed no mercy.
"You don't care about me, my family, or our children? If the Anderson family goes bankrupt, what will happen to them in the future? And Wyatt, from the White family, has already targeted me. Do you think the White family can escape!" Tyler shouted.
Rebecca was shocked. She was on guard against retaliation from Alexander and Stella.
She never imagined that Wyatt, who had been hurt and abandoned by Stella, would retaliate against her!
Shouldn't Wyatt be retaliating against Stella instead?
Feeling helpless, she signed the divorce agreement.
As she was about to burst into tears, Adam returned.
Frederick had just been arrested recently, and now Henry was in trouble.
Henry was caught up in a gang fight, severely injured, and was now in the hospital, still in critical condition.
Initially, Adam thought it was trouble Henry had caused.
However, as problems arose in the family business and Adam learned that Wyatt had hired someone to shorten the Anderson family's stocks, even Adam, in his ignorance, sensed that something was amiss.
So, Adam caught one of Henry's associates and carefully questioned him about what happened that day.
That's when he found out that Henry didn't even know the gang members involved.
He was drinking when he was suddenly dragged into it and beaten up.
At that moment, Adam realized that aside from Frederick recklessly provoking Alexander, everything else that had happened recently must have been Wyatt's doing.
Adam immediately drove back home.
At the door, he met Tyler, who was leaving in a hurry.
Just as he was about to say something, Tyler shot him a hateful glance and drove off in a cloud of dust.
Tyler had once held great respect for him.
Adam was furious.
He stormed into the house and saw Rebecca with swollen cheeks, which only fueled his anger even more.
"You disaster!" Adam roared, "Because of you, Henry was gravely injured, and the family business is now in jeopardy! It's all because of your actions!"
