CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: THE SINCLAIR FAMILY’S BANKRUPTCY

Rescuing Brooke Sinclairs, he doesn’t regret it!

Even though she did make a mistake, out of a special feeling for her, Jordan Hawthorne chose to forgive her anyway and used Hawthorne Group’s influence to let Jack Lynch take the blame and get her out.

In his perspective, even if The Sheffield Group intervened, it wouldn’t change the situation.

Sabrina Hayes, whether she liked it or not, had to accept this outcome!

So, he peacefully celebrated the new year, and after returning, he even had an intimate moment with Brooke Sinclairs.

But unexpectedly, just one night later, things spiraled out of control.

The Sheffield Group struck against The Sinclair Family, and the consequences were more severe than before.

One incident after another, these were undeniable hard facts!

Jordan Hawthorne’s face was very grim.

He was well aware that The Sinclair Group couldn’t stand up to scrutiny.

After all, the families had been allies for many years, and he was fully aware of the underhanded tactics they used in private.

But he never expected The Sinclair Family to be so foolish, not cleaning up their mess, allowing everything to be grasped by someone else.

What was worse, it was not only exposed but even The Hawthorne Family got involved!

Previously, it took a lot of effort to stabilize Hawthorne Group’s plummeting stock prices.

Now, there was again a tendency for it to be on the verge of collapse...

Jordan Hawthorne was wide awake, immediately got up to handle it.

Brooke Sinclairs had just woken up, still unaware of what happened, with a seductive expression she hooked her eyebrows, grabbed his hand, and sweetly asked, "Jordan, where are you going? Will you stay with me for a little longer?"

Fury surged in Jordan Hawthorne, he flung her hand away and said, "You still have the mood to sleep? Look at the mess your Sinclair Family has made!"

Brooke Sinclairs, caught off guard, fell back onto the bed, full of shock.

The Sinclair Family... what happened now?

With doubts in her heart, she picked up her phone.

Soon, she understood what’s going on.

Brooke Sinclairs’ face turned extremely pale in an instant.

Having suffered so much at the police station, she bet on Jordan Hawthorne’s feelings for her, believing he wouldn’t stand by idly.

In the end, the bet was right!

After returning yesterday, she exerted every effort to seduce Jordan Hawthorne and explained the reason for stealing the information.

"I was too scared, afraid that during these years I wasn’t around, Sabrina Hayes might have a place in your heart, so I didn’t want to lose to her... I acted on impulse and lost my mind, that’s why I accepted when Jack Lynch gave me the information. I know I was wrong, can you forgive me..."

Jordan Hawthorne never had defenses against her tears and pitiful coquetry.

The disappointment and resentment towards her during this period started to collapse after a kiss.

Once they were in bed, everything vanished.

Brooke Sinclairs felt smug inside.

As long as she controlled him, it wouldn’t be hard to appease the two elders of The Hawthorne Family afterward, right?

But now... this news, threw her back into hell.

The Sinclair Family... is it doomed???

...

Sabrina Hayes got up early and went back home with her parents to pay respects to relatives.

She had been too busy at work, and pouring all her heart into Zara, hadn’t been back for a long time.

Therefore, all morning, she didn’t see the news.

Until around noon, when Josee Sheffield called and asked, "Have you seen the news? Are you satisfied with the arrangement this time?"

Sabrina Hayes responded truthfully, "I haven’t had the chance to see it yet."

"Then take a look now."

Josee Sheffield’s tone had a hint of weariness but was also filled with excitement.

Sabrina Hayes didn’t think much of it and said, "Okay."

Then, she picked up her phone.

Soon, she saw Josee Sheffield’s operations!

After several hours of fermentation, the relevant departments had officially intervened, beginning to investigate all aspects of The Sinclair Group.

Netizens were in an uproar, and The Sinclair’s reputation and stock prices all plummeted.

Moreover, more and more scandals kept emerging.

From The Sinclair Family’s private life to The Sinclair Group’s poor after-sales service attitude... all were stepping on The Sinclair Group.

Sabrina Hayes was stunned, "Are all these exposés about The Sinclair Group true?"

Josee Sheffield replied, "Of course they are. It has cost me a lot of time and effort to dig them out!"

Sabrina Hayes paused, with a guess in her heart, "You... wouldn’t have been preparing for this long ago, would you?"

Josee Sheffield did not deny it.

"Remember last time, you said Jordan Hawthorne wouldn’t bother with Brooke Sinclairs, and I was already thinking of some response plans, just in case that day really came, I needed a back-up plan, so I thought of digging into The Sinclair Group.

However, I wasn’t sure at the time if I could find anything, after all, The Sinclair Group has been closely cooperating with Hawthorne Group these past two years, and those projects seemed quite legitimate, it might be difficult to investigate.

Unexpectedly, the progress was smoother than anticipated!

A few years ago, several investment projects of The Sinclair Group failed miserably, but they always managed to balance the books quickly, I found it suspicious and started from there...

The result, as you have seen, this company can’t withstand scrutiny, the entire Sinclair family, not a single good person!"

Josee Sheffield sneered, "This time, I want to see how Jordan Hawthorne can save it!"

Sabrina Hayes had always known that Josee Sheffield wasn’t easy to deal with, but she didn’t expect him to have the ability to think several steps ahead.

The Sinclair Group’s current situation is really not looking good!

If this situation develops until the relevant departments have finished their investigation, even if it doesn’t go bankrupt or shut down, many things won’t be preserved.

And with such a huge situation, Hawthorne Group definitely wouldn’t take it on.

She understands Jordan Hawthorne and knows The Hawthornes well.

No matter how much he loves Brooke Sinclairs, they wouldn’t use Hawthorne Group as a gamble.

Let alone those shareholders who prioritize ’profits over everything’!

Sabrina Hayes, pondering this, really wanted to know how Brooke Sinclairs was feeling now.

Once The Sinclair Group collapses, with the realistic faces of Florence Scott and her husband, they probably won’t easily accept her as before...

Ha, this is probably how the tables turn, right?

"Josee Sheffield, thank you."

Sabrina Hayes quickly collected her thoughts and sincerely said to Josee Sheffield.

Josee Sheffield returned to his usual roguish tone, "Why be so polite? Don’t forget, I’m also part of the company!"

Although he said that, he knew well that there was another reason he was doing this.

He wanted to support Sabrina Hayes.

No way he’d let his partner be bullied by those two bitches!

Really think he, the President of The Sheffield Group, is just for show?

...

Aethel.

Jasper Fitzgerald woke up early, hearing Nash Spencer mention the buzz online.

He typically wouldn’t bother with such news.

But this involved Sabrina Hayes, and since her emotions were off last night, he learned about the situation.

After listening, his deep black eyes slightly narrowed, naturally commenting, "Miss Nash’s partner, quite the strategist."

Nash Spencer replied honestly, "That President of The Sheffield Group always had both capability and talent, outwardly easygoing, but a ruthless character in private.

Both last time and this time, the scandal being so widespread is all thanks to him... and it’s evident, he aims to obliterate The Sinclair Family this time."

Jasper Fitzgerald’s expression remained calm, saying, "Decisiveness and efficiency is a good trait."

Nash Spencer blinked, feeling something seemed off.

Wait... why did it sound like praise?

He reported this matter, definitely not with that intention.

"Sir... don’t you think, President Sheffield taking such a stand for Miss Nash, is quite significant?"
