Chapter 585 The Grelin Group Jada had been in a great mood these days. She knew that the Swann Corporation and the Grelin Group were planning to collaborate on a project.
She figured that once the project launched, it would mark the beginning of the Swann Corporation's downfall.
Without the Swanns’ support, Catherine would not be as high and mighty. Even Branden might not give her the tof day anymore.
Jada relished the idea of the Swanns going bankrupt and Catherine's fall from grace. Jada cdownstairs in high spirits, only to find her mother rushing in from outside.

Eloise Facer, abandoning her usual composure, dashed upstairs and grabbed her daughter's arm. She looked agitated. “Jada, tell me. What did you do with the Grelin Group?” Jada looked bewildered as she did not understand why her mother was asking this. “Mom, | have no idea what you're talking about. What's happening?” “Jada, did you team up with the Swann Corporation from Casier on the southwest project? Did you do that?” Eloise’s anxious and serious expression unsettled Jada, giving her an ominous feeling.
She'd never seen her mother like this, and it scared her. “Mom, what's wrong? Isn't it good to work with the Swann Corporation?” Hearing that, Eloise knew it was her daughter's doing, and her heart sank.
With a troubled look on her face, she gazed at Jada. “Jada, you're wrong. Why would you offend the Swanns? What's going on with you?” Seeing her mother so flustered, Jada still couldn't grasp what had happened.
Before she could understand, her father hurried in as well.
As Jada looked at her father, his gaze met hers, and the look in his eyes made her afraid. “Dad, what's going on?” Jada’s father glared at her with a gloomy expression. “How dare you askwhat's going on? | should be asking you what have you done? You don’t have the ability, so why did you want to stir up trouble?” Jada was still puzzled, but she sensed something huge had happened from her parents’ attitude. “Mom, Dad, what's going on? Can’t you explain it clearly to me?” “Jada, did you think your trick of using the Grelin Group to lure the Swann Corporation into a trap to break their finance chain would go unnoticed?” Eloise looked pained as she spoke to her daughter. Then she continued. ” Not only did they catch on, but they had also retaliated against the Grelin Group. Do you understand?” After her mother’s explanation, Jada paused for a while before she realized the situation.
At that moment, she erupted in anger and shouted, “Damn it! They saw through it! Catherine is quite capable.
It's a sh| didn’t drag the Swanns down with this fantastic project!” Jada was angry after she realized that her schfailed.
Seeing her unrepentant, Franklin stepped forward in anger. He slapped Jada across the face. “Do you still not realize how utterly wrong you are? Do you even know who Catherine is?” Jada held her face in shock. She had not expected her father to strike her for someone else.
Her eyes reddened instantly, and she glared at her father. “Dad, you hitfor Catherine? Are the Facers afraid of Catherine?” Franklin stared at his daughter in anger. “The Facers? In front of Catherine, the Facers are nothing! Because of you, the Grelin Group's shareholders have pulled out and cut off all future funding. The one bankrupt now isn’t the Swann Corporation. It’s the Grelin Group. And the one on the brink of having its finance chain broken won't be the Swann Corporation, but the Facers!” Hearing that, Jada looked up in astonishment. “Dad, what are you saying? How is that possible? Weren't the Grelin Group's shareholders from the Skybow Group?” Others might not know how powerful the Skybow Group was, but Jada did.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Skybow Group was one of the world’s top investment firms with immense financial funds. With the Skybow Group behind them, the Grelin Group could match up to the Duncan Corporation, not to mention the small Swann Corporation.
Jada couldn't fathom how easily the Grelin Group, backed by the Skybow Group, could face bankruptcy.
Seeing her daughter still in disbelief, Franklin decided to lay it out plainly. He said, “The Skybow Group is indeed powerful, but do you know that Catherine is the top investment advisor and major shareholder for the Skybow Group?” This revelation left Jada completely stunned. She almost couldn't believe what she was hearing. If these words hadn’t cfrom her father, she would have thought that person was delusional to say this.
“No. That's impossible.” Jada stared at her father, and she was bewildered. ” Dad, Catherine is so young. How could she have that much influence?” Franklin sighed deeply. He was also shocked and in disbelief when he first heard it, but the truth remained.
“Last night at a financial gala, Mr. Anderson from the Skybow Group personally announced this. Today, not only did the Skybow Group withdraw their funding from the Grelin Group, but even several companies close to the Facers broke off their partnership with us even if it meant suffering losses.” Hearing that, Jada reluctantly accepted the harsh reality. She finally grasped the gravity of her mistake.
She never imagined that one wrong decision could lead to such severe losses for two families.
“Dad, what do we do now?” Franklin sighed in resignation and replied, “Well, we can only hope that Catherine will be willing to go easy on us and forgive our misstep.” Immediately, Jada realized the situation and replied, “I'll apologize!”
