Chapter 225 Phantom Assembly Protection!
William had been saying from the start that they were being deceived, but no one believed him!
They'd heard the claim that the contract was fake countless times.
Jasmine felt even more embarrassed for wrongly accusing William.
Fiona held William's hand, crying, "William, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have doubted you!"
Seeing Fiona like this, William felt a pang of sympathy.
"Fiona, it's not your fault. Blame it on them for being so cunning and deceitful!"
Fiona, agitated, said, "William, you knew from the beginning that the contract was fake and that Manuel and his group were scammers! Do you have a way to fix this situation?"
"I'm begging you! Please fix this! I don't want everyone's hard work to go to waste!"
Eugene and Jasmine were stunned.
Fiona must be out of her mind, right?
With such a big issue, Fiona wasn't seeking help from the boss of Hope Pharmaceutical but from William?
William was about to speak when Jasmine interrupted, "Mom, you're confused. How can he solve such a big problem?"
"William, just stay out of this and don't make things worse!"
Eugene preferred not to see or hear any more of this.
Jasmine explained Cassidy's analysis—William's gut feeling about Manuel being suspicious.
A calmer Fiona thought it over and agreed.
How could William possibly solve this?
William didn't bother arguing with them and stepped outside.
Tomorrow, he had to go to the Jones Manor for a crucial stage in cultivating Frostcrystal Grass, and he had no time to spare.
For now, he decided to give the Merchants' Guild of Shadows a temporary reprieve.
But fearing that the Merchants' Guild of Shadows might harm Fiona and the others, he called Sienna over.
"Have Phantom Assembly protect Fiona and the others!" William issued an order.
Since Phantom Assembly had escorted the Frostcrystal Grass seeds last time, they had stayed on.
"Understood! I'll take your command and mobilize Phantom Assembly!"
Meanwhile, Manuel and a few wealthy heirs were partying together.
"We still haven't completed our last regret!"
Caspian rubbed his hands eagerly.
He was, of course, referring to Jasmine.
Now, Hope Pharmaceutical and the Watson family were at their mercy.
Lester expressed some concern, "I think we should leave Jasmine alone! We can target others, but Jasmine is Hestia's goddaughter and a member of Rose Corporation..."
Manuel chuckled, "Hestia's goddaughter? Once Hope Pharmaceutical falls, she won't be anymore!"
Everyone laughed.
In their eyes, Hestia had only taken Jasmine as her goddaughter because of Hope Pharmaceutical.
Even Jasmine herself believed this.
Manuel continued, "As for Rose Corporation, she's just a low-level employee. If she were someone like Sienna, we wouldn't dare touch her even with a hundred guts!"
No matter how powerful Rose Corporation was, they wouldn't go to war with the Merchants' Guild of Shadows over a minor employee.
"Besides, do you know? A few days ago, Donovan, the servant of Zachary, King of Sunview City, came to Starlight City! My grandfather and three others personally hosted him at the Brown Mansion for three days! Understand the significance?"
Manuel's words reassured everyone.
The next day.
Caspian, who had been eyeing Jasmine for a long time, personally led two martial arts masters and a large group of bodyguards to block Jasmine and Fiona on their way to work.
"Ms. Watson, Ms. Torres, please come with us!"
Caspian's gaze unabashedly roamed over Jasmine and Fiona.
Their faces turned pale instantly.
They hadn't expected the retaliation to come so quickly.
