Chapter 228: Harper Sets His Sights on Cunningham's Family Again.
"Eric?"
At night, Justin woke up in a daze and reached out beside him.
Eric was not there.
Hearing some noise in the living room, Justin got out of bed. "Eric, are you thirsty?"
The living room was empty, no one responded.
He glanced at the dining table, where Eric's water cup and the abandoned slippers on the floor were.
"Uncle! Eric has been taken away!" Justin shouted and rushed out of the door.
Eric was the young master of Cunningham's Family and had a cleanliness obsession.
He wouldn't allow Wilson to walk on the floor without wearing slippers.
Justin must have heard someone closing the door while half asleep, someone had definitely taken Eric away.
Richard was also very alert and suddenly woke up, getting up and running out of the living room. "What's wrong?"
"Uncle, I can't find Eric. Eric's slippers are on the floor, someone must have entered the house and taken Eric!" Justin was a little scared.
"Don't panic." Richard glanced at the door lock, there were no signs of forced entry, clearly it was someone familiar.
May had stayed here for a while and had a key to the house.
"Justin, call your mom and come with me." Richard didn't trust leaving Justin alone in the house.
If May really took Eric, then she must have taken the wrong person.
May had been angry with Jasmine recently. She wanted to see Jasmine but couldn't, so what she wanted to take away must be Justin.
"Uncle, Eric is wearing a smartwatch." Justin hugged Richard's neck tightly. "Uncle
Patrick should be able to track it."
Richard hurriedly went out and called May .didn't answer and even turned off her phone.
Richard frowned, genuinely angry. What was this mother of his trying to do?been released from prison and had a chance to live a good life, but she just had to cause trouble, didn't she?
...Ethan's residence. Jasmine's tense face turned pale. "How am I going to explain this to Cunningham's Family when something happens to Eric? What should I do..."
"Nolan Cunningham has been located, we're going there right away," Ethan said, pulling Jasmine into his arms and patting her back to comfort her. "Richard said that May wanted to see you, but since she couldn't, she took the child away."
At the moment, Ethan didn't tell Jasmine about her and Richard not being blood siblings. This matter needed further verification.
And what was May's true motive.
They couldn't alert the enemy for the time being.
"She wanted to take Justin, but ended up taking Eric..." Jasmine's voice trembled.
"Huh... She couldn't harm the child, but by provoking Cunningham's Family this time, she brought it upon herself." Ethan's voice was low.
If May had taken Justin, Jasmine probably wouldn't have pursued it due to Richard's face.
But this time, May took Eric, Cunningham's Family's child.
Jasmine couldn't protect her.
Jasmine lowered her head and tightly held onto her clothes.
This was what she was worried about.
...
,Brown's house.
Harper lay on the hospital bed, her face pale.
"Miss, please eat something," the nanny's voice choked.
"Get lost..." Harper pushed all the things on the bedside onto the floor.
"Miss hasn't eaten properly for days." Nanny worriedly looked at Zelda.
Zelda felt sorry for her daughter.
Harper looked at her phone and burst into uncontrollable tears. "Why! Why!"These past few days, she had been messaging Ethan non-stop, apologizing and trying to please him, but each message seemed to disappear without a trace.
Furthermore, Ethan had deleted her WeChat account and blocked her calls.
Why did he have to be so ruthless?
What did she do wrong?
She just liked him, what was her fault!
"Harper, be good, please eat for you," Zelda pleaded. something," Zelda looked at Harper with concern.
"Please e
Harper refused to eat, crying incessantly.
"Don't cry, Ethan is determined to go against our Brown family," Lance also walked in, his face pale. "I never expected... Ethan could go this far for a Jasmine."
"Harper, our Brown family may be going bankrupt..." Zelda choked out, tears welling in her eyes. "Recently, the reputation of the Brown family has been greatly impacted by public opinion. Our food and home textile brands have suffered a significant blow. Not only that, Ethan has completely cut ties with Stellar Enterprises, the hotel business of our family, and our financial transactions have been severed."
Harper clenched her hands with hatred. "Why did Ethan have to destroy our Brown family like this?"
Was she not good to him?
She always sided and wanted to help him against Clara and Daniel Douglas.
Is this how he repays her?
"Even if we don't cooperate with Stellar Enterprises, our family shouldn't go bankrupt..." Harper looked at her father in confusion.
"It's strange, maybe affected by public opinion. Do you know Crestwood Development Group? It's a rising enterprise in recent years. Some say that Crestwood Development Group is backed by foreign capital, but no one knows who the true leader is." Lance also didn't know how he offended Crestwood Development Group.
"Crestwood Development Group has surpassed Stellar Enterprises in the hotel and entertainment venture industries years ago. Our two biggest partners are Crestwood Development Group and Stellar Enterprises. Recently, Ethan provided a lot of support to our Brown family because of the incident six years ago, and Crestwood Development Group also gave us many cooperative projects..." Harper furrowed her brow. "Now Crestwood Development Group is withdrawing their investment too?"
"Yes," Lance had a pained expression.
Simultaneous withdrawal of investments from Stellar Enterprises and Crestwood Development Group would be a huge blow to the Brown family.
"Ethan must know the CEO behind Crestwood Development Group. He probably coordinated this as well," Harper tightly gripped her blanket. "How does Howard feel about this?"
medical equipment ventures.
"It's all because of that Jasmine, she's a disaster. Whoever gets close to her is unlucky. Our Zelda is still alone overseas, she just called and cried, saying it's not safe outside, someone is bullying her. My poor daughter," Lance cried hard.
The atmosphere of the whole family was very heavy.
Harper clenched her hands tightly. "Stop arguing..."
Zelda finally stopped crying.
"We have to help ourselves," Harper's voice was low. She would never accept her fate.
Harper was not inferior to anyone, let alone a Jasmine.
"What did Howard say about the alliance with the Douglas family?" Harper knew her father had leverage over Howard, so he couldn't afford to offend the Brown family for now.
"Hmph, he's a small-minded person," Lance cursed coldly. "Howard is just someone who only cares about his own interests. The Cunningham's family proposed a marriage alliance between Ethan and their family, but Howard knows that the Douglas family is no match for us, the Brown family!"
Howard was no fool. As long as the Brown family held the leverage, they wouldn't reveal it unless they were forced to. Because once those secrets were exposed, it would mean that the Brown family would also face absolute implications. They were accomplices.
Moreover, the Brown family was still counting on a comeback in the
"The Cunningham's family?" Harper frowned. "Doesn't the Cunningham's family only have three sons? Isn't their daughter missing?"
"I had someone inquire about it. The Cunningham's family said they reached an agreement with the Douglas family. Within a year, they will find the real Miss Cunningham's family. If they find her, she will be engaged to Ethan. If they can't find her, Ethan will be engaged to the Cunningham's family's adopted daughter, Jennifer Lopes. Zelda explained. "
paused for a moment and nodded. "It seems so. The Cunningham's family matriarch suddenly gave birth prematurely when she came to Silverlight City to discuss a project. She gave birth at a hospital in the county. Your dad and I were also involved in the bidding for that project team at the time."
Harper remained silent for a moment. "Mom and Dad, I have an idea that could not only revive the Brown family but also bring endless benefits."
