Chapter 861: 258: Good or evil will always be rewarded!_2
Given Mrs. Fitzell’s previous satisfaction with her, Mrs. Fitzell should be willing to forgive her.
After all, it wasn’t that big of a deal.
She was desperate back then, she didn’t want to leave Brian Fitzell.
Mrs. Fitzell, becoming more awake from her nap, looked at Lisa Donovan, “Lisa Donovan, I know that you’ve always looked down on us just because you’re from Capital City, and we’re simply small-town folks. You’ve never had respect for us. But I’ve never seen any issue with it since Brian truly loves you. As long as our son Brian is happy, us parents would naturally not disapprove. But, what we need is a daughter-in-law who can share in Brian’s highs and lows, not one that only shares in his glory and runs away when trouble comes.”
Pausing briefly, Mrs. Fitzell continued, “You’re only coming back now because Brian has become successful again, right? If Brian were not successful now, would you still be bringing us so many gifts today?”
Hearing this, Lisa Donovan replied without hesitation, “I would! I would! From now on, no matter what happens, I will stand by Brian. Auntie, I ask you to believe me just this once!”
If only given one chance, Lisa Donovan would be willing to do anything.
The thought of her house and car being seized sent chills down her spine.
She couldn’t imagine life without a house or a car.
Only Brian Fitzell could save her now and restore her former glory, so, even at all costs, she must earn Brian Fitzell’s forgiveness.
Mrs. Fitzell laughed out loud, “Lisa Donovan, don’t you feel shameful saying such words? If you were truly that good to our Brian, you would have been with Brian through thick and thin from the start! Now you regret your actions? Too bad, Brian doesn’t recycle trash!”
With that, she closed the door forcefully.
Staring at the closed door.
Lisa Donovan was utterly dumbfounded.
She immediately began to knock on the door.
Unfortunately, there was no response from inside.
But Lisa Donovan would not give up.
Brian Fitzell was her last straw.
She had to hold onto Brian Fitzell tightly.
The knocking sound echoed time and again.
Mr. Fitzell frowned, “You should go and ask her to leave! How can such a young girl have no sense of situation? And she’s being so persistent!”
Mrs. Fitzell knew that she couldn’t open the door, as Lisa could take advantage of her, so Mrs. Fitzell immediately called security, “What’s going on with your service? We pay so much for this service and you let just anybody in? There’s someone hammering at our front door, send over some security to take this madwoman away!”
The security apologized repeatedly and assured, “We’re very sorry to have disturbed you, we’ll arrange for a security guard right away.”
Mrs. Fitzell hung up.
Mr. Fitzell asked Mrs. Fitzell, “What did the property say?”
Mrs. Fitzell replied, “Rest assured, they’re sending security over.”
Security responded quickly.
They led Lisa Donovan away immediately, one on each side, out to the community entrance.
This was the first time Lisa Donovan felt so helpless.
The Pakes Corporation officially declared bankruptcy.
Lisa Donovan’s car was forcefully taken away, funds in her bank account were frozen, and her single piece of property was auctioned by the bank.
Of course, Lisa Donovan wasn’t the only unfortunate one.
Those shareholders who had withdrawn their investment from the Thompson Group had also suffered a great loss.
They lost everything overnight.
James Harper was the bellwether amongst these shareholders, as he had been the first to support Avery Pakes.
As proud as he was back then, now James was equally despairing.
He regretted his foolish self.
He had thought he’d found a shortcut to success in his middle age, but instead, he’d been digging his own grave.
James Harper was not completely foolish.
When he realized that the Pakes Corporation was going under, he immediately arranged to divorce his wife, giving half of his liquid assets and property to his wife.
Thus, he was still not entirely homeless at this point.
Thinking about it, James Harper…
James Harper walked back home with a tired stride.
As soon as he arrived at the front door, he could hear the sound of laughter from within.
Had guests come to visit?
James Harper was slightly puzzled and knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly.
