CHAPTER 86
Mrs. Clifford rushed forward the moment she saw Bethany standing there. Without caring about the people still staring at them, she wrapped both arms tightly around her daughter and pulled her into a firm embrace.Bethany completely lost control. She buried her face against her mother's shoulder and cried uncontrollably. Her body shook violently as painful sobs escaped her lips.Mrs. Clifford gently rubbed her back. "My daughter calm down. Everything will be fine.""No, Mum!" Bethany cried loudly. "Nothing is fine!"She pulled away slightly. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and her makeup had been ruined by the tears running down her cheeks."Mum, Emily planned everything."Mrs. Clifford frowned. "What do you mean?"Bethany angrily wiped her tears. "She arranged everything with those reporters. They were already waiting for my arrival at Wilson Harris Group."Mrs. Clifford's face hardened. "They were waiting for you?""Yes!" Bethany replied bitterly. "The moment I arrived at the comp
CHAPTER 85
Emily stood completely frozen. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Bethany kneeling before her.For a few seconds, she could not even find the right words to say.The proud Bethany Clifford. The woman who had mocked her countless times. The woman who had looked down on her company. Was now kneeling before her in front of dozens of journalists.Emily slowly bent her head."Bethany… What are you doing?""Please stand up."But Bethany could no longer control herself. She burst into louder tears.She suddenly grabbed Emily's legs tightly."Emily… I'm sorry. Please forgive me.""Forgive me. Please forgive my family.""Forgive the Anderson family too."She cried so hard that her shoulders kept shaking."Please. Don't allow them to broadcast the news. If they do… The McAuthur family will come after us.""Our families will be destroyed. We are begging you."She lowered her head until it almost touched Emily's shoes."I am sorry. I was wrong.""I shouldn't have insulted you. I shoul
CHAPTER 84
Bethany's last bit of strength finally disappeared the moment she heard the endless questions from the reporters.One reporter stretched his microphone closer."Miss Bethany, is it true you are here to apologize to Wilson Harris Group of Companies?"Another reporter immediately interrupted."We heard you offended Wilson Harris yesterday. Is that why you came?"A third reporter raised his voice."Are you here to beg for a partnership with the newly revived Wilson Harris Group?""Did McAuthur Conglomerate send you here?""Will you really apologize publicly?"The questions came one after another without giving Bethany any chance to breathe.Flash!Flash!Flash!Camera lights continued flashing across her face.Bethany finally broke down. Fresh tears rolled down her swollen cheeks."Please..."She cried loudly."Please get away from me. Leave me alone."But the reporters refused to stop. Instead, more people pushed forward.One female journalist asked loudly, "Miss Bethany, are you here t
CHAPTER 83
George's heart almost stopped the moment he heard the name."Barrister Christopher?" He whispered unconsciously."McAuthur Conglomerate actually sent Barrister Christopher?"Cold sweat instantly covered his forehead. His heartbeat became faster and faster.Everyone in the business world knew Barrister Christopher. He was not just an ordinary lawyer. He was the chief legal representative of McAuthur Conglomerate.People often said that if Barrister Christopher personally visited your company, then whatever decision McAuthur Conglomerate had made was already final.George swallowed hard. His hands were trembling. Without wasting another second, he rushed toward his father's office.He pushed the door open. Immediately his eyes landed on the visitor sitting opposite his father.It was truly Barrister Christopher. He was dressed in a perfectly fitted dark blue suit.His posture was straight. His expression remained calm and professional.On the table before him were several neatly arrange
CHAPTER 82
Bethany's entire body became cold.The phone almost slipped from her trembling fingers after George's harsh warning.She could not believe that the man who had always defended her was now threatening to end their relationship because of what had happened at the gala.George's voice remained cold."You heard me right. You have less than thirty minutes to do it. You do not have any other option.""When I call you next, I want to hear that you have done exactly what I told you."Without waiting for Bethany to reply, George ended the call.Beep! The sound of the disconnected call echoed inside the silent sitting room.Bethany remained standing for a few seconds. Her knees suddenly became weak.She staggered backward before collapsing onto the sofa.Mrs. Clifford quickly rushed over and held her shoulders."Bethany! My daughter!""What happened?""What did George say?""Why do you suddenly look like this?"Bethany could not answer. She slowly lifted her head and looked at her mother. Fresh
CHAPTER 81
George's excited face immediately turned pale. The hope that had filled his eyes disappeared in an instant.He stared at his father as if he had not heard him correctly."Dad..."He swallowed hard."Did you just say half of the Anderson Group shares?"Mr. Anderson slowly nodded. "Yes."George staggered backward and almost lost his balance."But our family owns only seventy-five percent of the company.""How does the CEO expect us to give him fifty percent?"Mr. Anderson sighed heavily. "That is no longer the important question."George looked at him in confusion.Mr. Anderson stood up from his chair and walked toward the large glass window behind his office. He folded both hands behind his back."The important question now is do we want to lose fifty percent? Or do we want to lose everything?"George became speechless.Mr. Anderson continued in a tired voice."If we reject their conditions, our company will collapse, our family's reputation will disappear, our business partners will a
