Chapter 163: We have proof against you.
The Hill household descended into chaos as their company was targeted. Investors abruptly withdrew their support, and shareholders scrambled to sell off their stocks, sending the stock price plummeting to unprecedented lows.
Inside the company, turmoil erupted. The boardroom turned into a battleground, with board members hurling accusations and arguing heatedly. Amidst the uproar, Mr. Hill, overwhelmed by the sudden downfall, collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital.
When word of the chaos reached Theodore, a cold satisfaction washed over him. This was precisely the outcome he had orchestrated.
"We’ve spread the word to all our clients not to engage with the Hills," Tristan reported with a note of pride in his voice. "Anyone who defies our warning will be considered our enemy. All the Hill Group’s clients canceled their collaborations this morning, and their projects are being terminated one by one. In less than a month, their company will be bankrupt."
"Good," Theodore responded, a slight smile curling at the corners of his lips.
Tristan continued, "Mr. Hill couldn’t handle the blow. He fell ill and had to be taken to the hospital."
Theodore remained expressionless as if the news meant nothing to him. His voice grew colder as he asked, "What about Ivy Hill? I want her to be punished."
Tristan nodded, understanding the weight of the command. "Skyler has already gone to the police station to submit all the evidence. By the end of the day, she’ll be under arrest."
A sneer twisted Theodore’s features. If she hadn’t been a woman, he would have taken matters into his own hands, punishing her directly. But the law would serve its purpose, delivering the retribution he desired.
"Have Skyler meet with me when he returns," he ordered, dismissing Tristan with a wave of his hand.
