Chapter 2021 Powerless To Salvage Things
Roxanne found something off about Madilyn's claim of making a trip back to Xandenia to visit her ancestors' graves.
Mdm. Xander isn't from Xandenia in the first place, merely having gone there to work when she was young. What
ancestors could the Xander family hove there? With that said, Madilyn couldn't possibly be visiting her biological
father's ancestors' graves. After all, that piece-of-trash father of hers doesn't regard her os a daughter even now.
Following that line of thought, she was convinced that her best friend was lying to her and had some other reason
for going to Xandenia.
That aside, it must have something to do with that sc*mbag father of hers.
When Lucian returned home, he swiftly informed his wife about the situation.
He told her that Cayden reported about Jonathan bringing along a great number of bodyguards when he
accompanied Madilyn to Xandenia.
At once, the couple started worrying. Is he planning to hove a fight with someone that he brought so many
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbodyguards along?
Thus, Roxanne quickly phoned her best friend.
As soon as the call went through, she asked urgently, “Are you okay, Madilyn? Did something serious happen? Don't
hide it and keep me in the dark. Tell me, quick!”
Realizing that she would not be able to keep the truth from Roxanne, Madilyn told her everything.
As Roxanne listened, fury lined her features, and she gritted her teeth hard.
“Stay calm, Roxanne. You must keep yourself in a good mood now that you're pregnant. We're all fine and are on
our way back. However, we're not planning to take a flight this time. Jonathan said he'd bring us around for some
fun while making the return trip.”
Madilyn sounded relaxed, putting Roxanne at ease.
All that notwithstanding, she had a new understanding of her best friend's piece of trash of a father, Norton, and his
contemptible family.
Good Lord! Forcibly taking Mdm. Xander away is already a crime. On top of that, they even had delusions of using
Madilyn as a pawn for a political marriage! How ridiculous!
After hanging up the phone, Roxanne related the situation to Lucian. When Lucian had listened to it all, he wore a
relaxed expression, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
“Jonathan has really seen the light. With this trip, not only has he secured his girlfriend, but he'd undoubtedly won
his future mother- in-law over. Let's just wait to attend their wedding.”
Mulling it over, Roxanne felt that it indeed made sense.
“I'm still mad, Lucian. Norton Sheffield is a downright sc*mbag!” Rage still blazed within her.
“I know of him. He's exceedingly barbaric in his tactics of doing business in Xandenia. I reckon there's likely a
problem with Southern Star Group that he's so desperate to force Madilyn into a political marriage. In that case, I
don't mind giving things a push.”
With that said, Lucian snagged his phone and gave Cayden a call.
“Investigate the condition of Southern Star Group in Xandenia and teach their chairman, Mr. Sheffield, a hard
lesson!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Understood!” Cayden answered, all too familiar with the tactics in doing so.
In no time, he dug out a ton of problems with the company. There was a whole boatload of them.
It turned out that Southern Star Group invested in mineral resources abroad in recent years, but all the projects
failed.
The company's debt ratio had also swelled to epic proportions. With just a prick, it would burst like a balloon.
In fact, it had even violated the law in many ways previously, such as its real estate companies acquiring land by
illegal means and its mineral processing plants causing severe damage to the environment.
In the face of all that, Lucian ordered, “Leak everything out.”
Needless to say, an empty company worth nothing much in market value could not withstand such scandals. Hence,
Southern Star Group's shares would certainly plummet for several days in a row until the company became
insolvent.
Consequently, the various banks and creditors would definitely come knocking at the door to collect the debts in a
mad frenzy.
At that time, Norton would be powerless to salvage things.
