Over the past few years, she had been in charge of taking care of the Wilson family and heading the operations of the Wilson Group. However, she had never expected the Wilson Group to end in this situation with her at the helm.
If this continued any further, the Wilson Group would not only have to shut down completely, but they would also face a huge amount of debt. If that happened, Lady Wilson was afraid that they might not even be able to keep this old villa of theirs!
All of this had happened because of her own greed and selfishness.
If she had not tried to seize the villa that the White family had given to Joe in the first place, Jacob and Claire would not have disowned the Wilson family!
If Claire did not leave the Wilson Group, Emgrand Group would not have turned against the Wilson Group.
At this time, Christopher was also on the verge of collapse.
Their family business was at stake, his daughter had lost her happiness, his son had lost his future, and he had been repeatedly humiliated by that piece of trash, Joe…
Christopher wanted to do something to help the Wilson family, but it seemed as though there was nothing he could do at all.
Wendy had been crying ever since she had come home, and this truly broke Christopher’s heart.
Therefore, he could not help but ask Lady Wilson, “Mom, is there honestly no hope for the Wilson family and the Wilson Group anymore?”
Lady Wilson shed a few tears before she said, “I do not know what else to do anymore. If we do not declare bankruptcy and close down the company, the amount of debt that will subsequently accumulate will unmistakably crush us…”
Christopher choked as he said, “Mom, can’t you ask some of your old friends for help? Why don’t you ask around and see if anyone is willing to invest a sum of money in the Wilson Group so that they can help us to pull through this period of difficulties?”
“Invest?” Lady Wilson asked with a bitter smile on her face. “Who would still dare to invest in the Wilson Group now that we have already been blacklisted by Emgrand Group? Those old friends of mine are all avoiding me, and none of them will answer my calls or reply to my text messages at all. I don’t think that there is truly anyone that we can call a true friend in this world!
Everyone is just using one another for the benefits!”
Harold suddenly said, “Grandma, if you say that there are no friends in this world and that everyone is just using one another for benefits, then, how is Joe friends with so many wealthy and powerful people? Moreover, those people sincerely respect him and even call him their master! What benefits could Joe possibly give to them?”
At this time, Lady Wilson replied, “Even though Joe is just a piece of trash, he is unmistakably good with his words. I heard that these wealthy and powerful people respect him and are so polite to him simply because he gives them some Feng Shui advice. I think they are all fools! Joe is no different from those fake old fortune-tellers who sit under the trees by the roadside!”
Harold had a puzzled expression on his face as he asked, “If so, why do so many wealthy and powerful people believe in what he says?”
Lady Wilson replied, “They believe in him because he has not made a mistake yet! Joe is just like those fake Feng Shui masters in the past who were all very good at fooling and deceiving people. However, at the end of the day, everyone discovered the truth and realized that they were just liars!”
As she spoke about this, the old lady continued speaking with a cold expression on her face. “In my opinion, Joe will definitely make a mistake very soon. When that time comes, all these wealthy and powerful people will realize that they have been tricked and deceived by him. After that, they will surely teach him a lesson!”
Harold looked at his grandmother expectantly before he said, “I can’t wait! I can’t wait to see Joe getting chopped up and fed to the dogs!”
Lady Wilson replied bitterly, “Yes! Don’t worry, that day will definitely come!”
As the Wilson family were busy crying and cursing at Joe, two Rolls-Royce suddenly stopped in front of the Wilson family villa.
Then, six bodyguards dressed in black stepped out of the two cars. One of the bodyguards quickly opened the rear door of the car at the back, and a middle-aged man in his fifties stepped out of the car.
The man was very presentable, and he was dressed in a top-notch handmade suit from a branded designer brand. He looked very dignified.
The middle-aged man stepped out of the car with a copy of the Wilson family tree in his hand as he asked his assistant, “Is this the Wilson family in Aurous Hill?”
The assistant nodded before he said, “Yes, Mr. Wilson. I have already checked with the Civil Affairs Bureau and confirmed that this is indeed the Wilson family in Aurous Hill.”
“Alright, then.” The middle-aged man nodded and looked at the Wilson family villa before he said, “I did not expect the Wilson family in Aurous Hill to be so desolate. I guess they really are our poorer relatives…”
The assistant hurriedly replied, “Mr. Wilson, why don’t we leave now? It would be rather annoying for us to get involved with these poor people.”
The middle-aged man waved his hand slightly before he said, “Even though we have already lost contact with the Wilson family from Aurous Hill for a long time, my father told me that someone from the Aurous Hill Wilson family saved his life during the Resistance War. My father had always wanted to come over to thank him personally but he did not have the opportunity to do so because he had been paralyzed in bed all this time. Therefore, I sincerely wanted to come and thank the Wilson family in Aurous Hill on my father’s behalf. Moreover, I also want to sort out the genealogy of our ancestors so that I can write them in.”
The assistant asked again out of curiosity, “Mr. Wilson, what is the story behind your family tree?”
The middle-aged man replied, “The Wilson family was very big back then. Everyone in the Wilson family used to live together in the same village. However, when the Resistance War broke out, everyone fled for their lives and got separated. My father and the ancestor of the Wilson family in Aurous Hill were distant cousins. As they were escaping, my father was hit by a bullet and almost died. However, the man from the Wilson family in Aurous Hill carried him on his back so that they could escape.”
The assistant exclaimed in shock. “Wow! To think that there is such a relationship and history between this Wilson family and your family.”
“Yes.” After that, the middle-aged man sighed before he said, “Go and knock on the door.”
Meanwhile, all the members of the Wilson family were sitting together as they wept and cried miserably. When the doorbell rang, Christopher quickly wiped the tears off his face before he walked out to the courtyard to open the door.
Christopher saw a middle-aged man who was a few years older than him standing outside the gate with an arrogant expression on his face. When Christopher saw the six bodyguards and two Rolls-Royce parked outside his front door, he knew that this was not an ordinary man. Therefore, he could not help but ask, “How can I help you?”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly before he asked, “Are you a descendant of the Wilson family?”
Christopher subconsciously nodded before he said, “Yes, I am a member of the Wilson family. What can I do for you?”
The middle-aged man introduced himself at this time. “Hello. My name is Kenneth Wilson, and I am the head of the Wilson family in Eastcliff.”
“The Wilson family in Eastcliff?” Christopher asked in bewilderment. “What do you mean? I have not heard of it before.”
The middle-aged man smiled before he said, “We share the same ancestors, and we could be considered distant relatives. My father and your father were distant cousins.
