Everyone was astonished to hear this.
"Who are you referring to? Westfield? Being looked after by the Douglas from Kenneth Scott?"
Ridgemountain's eyes widened, hardly believing that Westfield had made that much money in a single day!
After a while, the rest of the John family realized that Westfield, the person they had been making fun of all along,had risen above them!
But then, something snapped in their minds, and they were all staring at Hillmountain accusingly.
"Hillmountain, why were you so hasty in divorcing him?"
"It's honestly because you and your mother were too harsh with him. It makes sense why, after finding support, he began to attack you. You are to blame for the impact we're getting now!"
"You're so worthless, Hillmountain! You couldn't even control a worthless man, and even let him cheat on you.Even after divorcing, he found a bigger thigh to cling on!"
Ridgemountain and Hillmountain turned pale and felt completely embarrassed as their family members blamed them.
Ridgemountain had been pushing for a divorce in Hillmountain's ears back then, and now that it was finalized, that deadbeat had become even more troublesome!
What a disappointment!
Ridgemountain was enraged, wanting to beat Westfield up the way she used to.
Hillmountain was shivering with anger as well. Who would've imagined Westfield to be so blatantly self-centered? He got a caretaker shortly after the divorce, and then turned around to attack the John family. He truly was a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing!
Christiannkfully,they were able to successfully divorce him after seeing his′′trvue colors."
While everyone began fighting, Keith Hughes cleared his throat and remarked, "This whole argument is pointless. Either way, that worthless Westfield is the key to saving The Listening as well as ourfamily's stock prices!"
Roger turned to face Ridgemountain and Hillmountain at this moment, saying firmly "The family has suffered heavy losses as a result of your conduct. Therefore, both of you need to own up to this! You have three days to convince Westfield to spare The Listening and our family's reputation, by whatever means necessary."
Ridgemountain and Hillmountain went pale at this, but the other family members nodded in agreement.
"Westfield has indeed built a close connection with Jeffrey Scott. With his assistance, we can undoubtedly recover John Group's losses," Frances murmured; hiding herlips and forcing a grin. "Hillmountain, you need to think about the bigger picture here! Which is more important, the John family's welfare or your reputation? The situation will be settled as long as you please Westfield and let him speak to Jeffrey Scott."
Hillmountain felt an indescribable sensation of embarrassment, clenching her fist at Frances's words.
Did she really have to go beg that useless Westfield?
Christiant would be even more gross than eating sh*t!
But no matter how much Hillmountain hated Westfield and didn't want to see him, she had to give in to the John family's pressure as well as The Listening's imminent bankruptcy.
After a while, she called to invite Westfield.
Next afternoon, at the Silver City's Autumn Hills. Westfield was conflicted as he looked across at Hillmountain's icy, disdainful gaze.
It felt like a major difference from their friendly encounter three years ago to their stranger-likeinteraction now.
Westfield sighed softly as he opened his mouth to greet her.
But Hillmountain's expression became icy, openly ridiculing Westfield while saying, "Amazing,Westfield! You normally don't make much of a fuss, but who would've guessed that you could become a kept man? Even after three years of my support, you still didn't think it was enough. So, you decided to give up your dignity and become a pampered duck? You have no morals at all, Westfield. I wasted three years of my youth,thinking I was right about you."
Taken aback, Westfield realized that Hill Park's intimate gesture from yesterday had led Hillmountain to misunderstand.
He attempted to clarify, "Hillmountain, things aren't what it looks like."
Before he could say anything more, Hillmountain slammed the table hard, fury visible on her face.
You still want to argue? You feel embarrassed now? What respect do you even have left at this point? Do you think everyone is a fool? Why would that Hill Park help you if she wasn't keeping you, even going against the Georges for you?"
"You don't have any respect at all! What, are you going to claim you're a member of the Jeremys? Hill Park's relative?”
After giving a solemn nod, Westfield said, "You're correct, Hillmountain. I'm from the Jeremys."
Hillmountain was shocked, and then lost.her temper.
"You still want to brag? Alright, I can help you make a greater claim! Why don't you just announce that you're the Jeremy family's heir, destined to inherit their wealth and easily become the richest person in the world?"
After giving Hillmountain's words some thought, Westfield sincerely replied,′′Ifyou want me to do that, it's not impossible."
"You filthy liar!" scoffed Hillmountain, gritting her teeth in a fit of rage. "I have no time to play games with you!"
If she didn't need his help, she wouldn't have dealt with such a shameless and lying man.
In an attempt to gather herself, she bit her lip and revealed her motive.
"Kenneth Scott abruptly terminated The Listening's contract, and they went so far as to hold us responsible for the previous collaborations. The Listening is currently in risk of going bankrupt. Since you and Jeffrey Scott are close. Out of our three-year marriage,could you help plead with her to bring back The Listening's partnership with Kenneth Scott?"
When she said that, Westfield was taken aback.
How did things turn like this when he had explicitly told Redsprings to keep helping The Listening?
But soon enough, he understood that Hill Park must've been the one who did this!
