1365 Abandoned
“Mr. Williams, something terrible has happened! Something has happened to the Williams! The corporation has been found to be involved in major tax evasion and selling counterfeit and inferior products. The situation is out of control!
“And—”
“Not good, Mr. Steele! Something has happened to the Steeles!”
The bad news brought by the butlers of the Williams and the Steeles was exactly the same as the Piers’ news. It exposed all the dirty things they had done in the companies and in private!
So much negative news had already completely ignited public opinion. They couldn’t suppress it or cover it up at all. The situation was critical!
If this situation continued, the three families would completely collapse today and become history!
“Quick, call Mr. Jensen and beg him to save us! Right now, the only person who can turn the tide and save us is him!” Rayson shouted in panic.
Derek and Greg seemed to have woken up from a dream as they nodded repeatedly. “That’s right! At this critical moment, only Mr. Jensen can save us! Let’s call him immediately!”
They were already at the critical juncture of their families’ survival, so these helmsmen could no longer care about disturbing Jensen. Greg immediately took out his phone and called the number that Jensen had given.
It didn’t take long for the call to connect. Greg’s face was full of excitement and anticipation. But before he could explain the current situation of their families and ask Jensen for help, he heard a few words from the other end. Then the expression on his face completely stiffened.
Immediately afterward, Rayson and Derek watched helplessly as Greg’s face turned deathly pale at a visible speed, and beads of cold sweat crazily broke out on his face.
After Greg hung up in a daze, Rayson and Derek immediately asked impatiently, “Greg, what did Mr. Jensen say? When will he arrive?”
“Does Mr. Jensen already know what happened? Did he say how he’s going to help us get through this crisis?”
“Does Mr. Jensen have a way to deal with Lucas Gray?”
“Greg, hurry up and speak! I’m so anxious!”
The two of them stomped their feet and urged, wishing they could pry open Greg’s mouth and get him to answer the questions they were concerned about immediately.
Greg’s face was ashen. He licked his lips a few times and finally said with difficulty, “Mr. Jensen… He said he’s at the airport now and about to board a plane back to the Hamiltons’. He won’t care about the matters in DC anymore!”
As soon as these words came out, Rayson and Derek were stunned!
By the time they realized what Greg meant, Rayson couldn’t take it anymore. He grabbed Greg’s clothes and roared, “How is that possible? Why would Mr. Jensen suddenly want to go back to the Hamiltons’ at this time? He clearly… he clearly asked us to come to the celebration party and even asked us to wait for him to come!
“Greg, did you hear wrongly? Or did you call the wrong number? The person you spoke with wasn’t Mr. Jensen at all, right?
“Yes, that must be it. You must have called the wrong number!”
While mumbling, Rayson took out his phone and dialed the number that Jensen had given him.
But the call didn’t connect. There was only a voice notification. “Sorry, the number you’ve dialed cannot be reached at the moment. Please try again later!”
The number Jensen gave could no longer be reached!
Derek quickly took out his phone and called. It was the same voice notification, saying that the number he dialed could not be reached.
Both of them looked at Greg.
Greg also called again in front of them. It was the same notification that the call couldn’t be connected.
“It looks like Mr. Jensen has already boarded the plane and turned off his phone,” Greg said bitterly.
The three of them seemed to have been struck by lightning as they stood rooted to the floor in a daze, their minds blank.
Jensen… actually abandoned them and left DC!
“No… Impossible. This is absolutely impossible!” Rayson shook his head desperately, wanting to refuse to believe this fact. “Mr. Jensen clearly invited us here, and we have already waited here for two and a half hours. But he left DC without even saying anything and went back to the Hamiltons’? Then… weren’t we waiting for nothing?”
His eyes red, Derek gritted his teeth and roared, “Not only that, he said that he doesn’t care about the matters in DC and doesn’t care about our affairs! How can this be?! It was obviously Mr. Jensen who urged us to make a move on the Howards, the Huttons, and the Smiths. He promised that he would support our three families in the future and let our families take another step forward to become the three strongest families below the royal family branches!
“Could it be that… he was lying to us? We’re in such a crisis now. How can he ignore us? If the Hamiltons refuse to help us, then… then what should we do now?”
Their eyes were full of disappointment and despair.
But now that the truth was right in front of them, they had no choice but to believe it. Jensen had only used them as pawns.
And now, their families had encountered an unprecedented crisis, yet Jensen had abandoned them without saying a word and left on his own!
If Jensen had nothing to do with them, then so be it if he left. It was just that the three families would have lost a chance to cozy up to the Hamiltons.
But now, they had followed Jensen’s instructions to attack the Howards, the Huttons, and the Smiths, who were also among the eight top families in DC, in order to destroy Lucas’s forces.
Now, the Howards, the Huttons, and the Smiths were launching a frenzied revenge on them, and their families could no longer hold on. Soon, they would face a calamity. With Jensen’s escape, they had immediately fallen into a dead end!
What else could they do now?
With the strength of their three families alone, could they take back everything they had lost to Lucas and those families?
Everyone felt despair and hopelessness.
This was because it was almost impossible!
The huge panoramic luxury private room fell dead silent.
After a while, Rayson said unwillingly, “Derek, Greg, what should we do now? Are we just going to stay here and wait for death?
“I know that all those things were arranged by Lucas Gray! This is his revenge on us! And with my understanding of him, he will definitely force us into a dead end!
“If we can’t think of a solution immediately, we will really die!”
When Rayson thought of Lucas’s previous methods, his legs started trembling.
He couldn’t control this fear that came from the bottom of his heart!
Derek and Greg also recovered from their panic. Derek gritted his teeth and said, “Rayson is right. We have to think of a solution now! Now, we can only join forces to resist Lucas Gray!”
