"Jonathan! No! Mr. Parker, please spare my father and me! I'm sorry! It’s all my fault. I shouldn't have looked down on you, and I shouldn't have hurt Olivia! But it wasn't my idea. Evelyn made us do it! She gathered us together to deliberately humiliate your wife!"
Ignoring her injuries, Hedy crawled to Jonathan, apologizing fervently, while throwing Evelyn under the bus!
Friendship? Relationship? They were all fake! That was right! Faced with death, Hedy would sell out any family, friend, or close buddy! As long as she, her father, and the Carmen family could survive!
Kneeling on the ground, not knowing what to do, Evelyn trembled violently upon hearing Hedy's words, almost collapsing to the ground. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "No, no! Jonathan, don't listen to her nonsense, it wasn't me! I..." Evelyn's face was distorted with panic and fear.
"Bring the hotel owner here," Jonathan ordered coldly.
Dorian immediately signaled his men. In less than five minutes, Lawrence Huxley, trembling and sweating profusely, walked in! He was the head of the Huxley family and Evelyn's father.
Lawrence already knew the situation in the hotel. The lobby was full of people—Dorian's men, Truman's men, and the police. Such a grand scene was something Lawrence had never seen or dared to imagine in his entire life!
As soon as he entered, Lawrence saw the Carmen father and daughter begging for mercy, as well as Dorian and the police chief standing respectfully to the side. His heart filled with panic, and he immediately bowed in front of Jonathan, who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "Sir, I understand what happened. It was my daughter's fault. If you want to punish her, I will not cover for her! But I beg you, please spare her life! I will sell all the Huxley family assets if I must, to compensate Mrs. Parker adequately! Please forgive us!"
By the end, Lawrence was not daring to move!
Evelyn stood up and bowed beside him, crying and wailing, "Dad... I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."
Jonathan coldly stood up, watching the dramatic scene unfold, the anger in his eyes already subsiding. He spoke with a voice like that of a deity, "The Carmen family's assets will be confiscated, and everything will be seized! As for the Huxley family, I expect to see you both come to apologize tomorrow! The rest of you, be wise!"
Instantly, Lawrence and Evelyn continuously bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Parker, thank you! Tomorrow, I will bring my daughter and a generous gift to apologize to Mrs. Parker in person!"
Everyone else also stood up and bowed frantically, desperately thanking Jonathan for sparing their lives.
Then, Jonathan turned and left.
Hearing these words, Truman collapsed to the ground, thinking, 'It's over! Everything I had truly ended today!'
Dorian glanced coldly at the once proud Truman, now crumbling before his eyes, and scoffed, "Truman, I gave you a chance earlier! But you didn't listen, and this is your fate!"
The police chief waved his hand decisively, "Take them all away!"
The next day, a piece of news shocked the entire Yonderville!
The Carmen Group was shut down overnight! Truman and his daughter were imprisoned, and all their entertainment venues and properties were acquired by Dorian! Moreover, all of Truman's men were absorbed into Dorian's ranks! Dorian's reputation in Yonderville skyrocketed overnight, causing widespread attention and sensation throughout the city!
Meanwhile, at the Harrison Group, Samuel, Declan, and his family were sternly reprimanding Olivia!
"Olivia! How dare you! Do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused by offending the Huxley family? You've gone mad!" Declan, representing the group's vice chairman, sternly scolded Olivia, who sat below him.
Today, Olivia wore make up to cover last night's injuries on her face, but she still looked panicked and fearful.
"Hmph! Fortunately, Dorian and Truman had a conflict, and Truman was taken down! Otherwise, having offended both the Huxley and Carmen families, our Harrison family would have been erased from Yonderville!" Maeve scolded angrily.
Early this morning, they all learned that Olivia had offended Evelyn and Hedy last night. Evelyn was the eldest daughter of the Huxley family, which owned a well-known hotel group in Yonderville, comparable to the Harrison family!
Moreover, the Harrison family had business collaborations with the Huxley family, and the Huxleys were a major client. Offending them could cost the Harrison family millions, possibly even tens of millions in profits, severely straining their financial chain and potentially causing a shutdown.
Even worse, Olivia had also offended Hedy from the Carmen family! The Carmens were known for their ruthless ways! If the Carmen family decided to send a few hundred thugs, the Harrison family would be forced out of Yonderville!
Luckily, this morning, rumors spread about a business conflict between Dorian and Truman, resulting in Truman's arrest and the collapse of the Carmen family, which finally allowed the Harrisons to breathe a sigh of relief!
However, they still had to deal with the Huxley family issue first!
"Olivia, I don't care how you do it, but today you must personally go to the Huxley family to apologize! If you don't get Evelyn's forgiveness, don't come back!" Samuel ordered coldly.
Olivia was still in a daze. After waking up last night, she had been lying at home, with Jonathan taking care of her until dawn. Early this morning, Sophia had called her to the company, and she still didn't understand what had happened.
"Olivia! What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and go apologize to the Huxley family!" Sophia slammed the table, stood up angrily, and shouted sternly.
Reluctantly, Olivia responded, stood up, and prepared to go to the Huxley family. She felt resentful, 'It was Evelyn who teamed up with those people to bully me. Now, do I have to apologize to the perpetrators? This is ridiculous! But this is reality! Without power, you will be bullied!'
Just as Olivia stood up, an assistant rushed in urgently and shouted, "Mr. Harrison, something bad has happened! Lawrence is here! He's downstairs! And he brought a lot of people. It seems to be about yesterday's incident..."
