Chapter 140 the Middleton Family Crisis
Chapter 140 the Middleton Family Crisis
When Glenn Middleton hung up the phone, his face grim, like one out of his mind.
Valerie approached to ask him, "What's wrong? You don't look well."
The more Glenn tried to be calm, the more was exposed. Valerie began to be worried. From NôvelDrama.Org.
He said, "The business of the Middleton family was suddenly investigated. I don't know who did it.
Maybe all the company's money will be frozen."
This news was so appalling! Valerie turned pale and she didn't believe it was true.
Her voice trembled, "You're lying to me, aren't you? Glenn, talk to me! Talk! Please tell me this, this is
not true. It can't be..."
Glenn looked so sad that he couldn't smile.
He looked serious. "It's true! Our company is on the ropes!"
Ashlee and Valerie both turned blue on their faces.
The Middleton family had invested a lot in this business and has also asked for a bank loan. If the
funds were frozen after investigation, it would mean that the business wouldn't work out and the
Middleton family was in danger of bankruptcy!
Ashlee was too anxious to care about her image, who looked very flustered. After she managed to get
Darren back, the Middleton family was in trouble now! What would Darren think about her? Would he
marry a penniless woman?
She ran to Darren and begged, "Darren, what should I do? Help us find a way! There must be no
accident, or our family will break!"
Valerie panicked too.
Frozen funds, dear God! They would be impoverished!
If her glory and wealth had disappeared, she would die!
Valerie asked Glenn, "Glenn, what's the matter with you? How can our company be investigated? Have
you offended someone? Or have you been cheated? Why is my life so hard? After so many years of
being with you, I can finally enjoy my life. But the money in our company has been frozen, and there is
a lot of debt to the bank. We can't pay it off for the rest of our life!"
After saying this, Valerie began to cry.
Ashlee hurried forward to comfort her, and she also cried.
Darren frowned, "Don't worry, uncle and aunt. I'll find out. I'll help you. Don't worry and take care of
yourselves."
Glenn also reproached himself.
However, it was too sudden. He was careful about such a big business that he had investigated the
detailed background of the other party very clearly which should be no problem. He didn't know why
they were suddenly investigated and the funds were frozen directly.
Darren went to the window to make several calls.
Clara was also shocked by the family accident.
Just now, Valerie was still showing off her rich life and Darren, a rich son-in-law. The next second, she
was facing the dilemma of being poor to sleep on the street. The fate of life was unpredictable.
While Valerie was still sitting there crying, Ashlee and Glenn were also in a bad mood.
When Darren came back after the call, he looked even worse. "It seems to be not so easy. The other is
very mysterious and powerful. Even my men can't make it clear. I can't find out who it is at once."
Valerie cried louder after hearing what he said!
She bawled desperately, "Who is going against the Middleton family? Who would do that?"
Glenn was sitting on the sofa with his hand putting on his heart. Seeing this, Darren quickly poured him
a cup of hot water and comforted him.
Seeing they were sad, Clara felt that it was unnecessary to stay there. She wanted to comfort Glenn,
but she was afraid that they thought she would laugh at them. So she quietly left the Middleton family
without saying anything.
Ashlee glimpsed Clara leaving, and suddenly thought of Horace's warning!
Horace said that if she hurt Clara again, he would make her and the Middleton family pay a price!
Ashlee felt a chill down her spine.
Yes, it must be!
It must be Horace who did this. Otherwise, who could have such a power to act so quickly and
ruthlessly in Stratmont?
By this time, Clara had reached the yard at the gate. Ashlee immediately ran after Clara and held her
arm to prevent her from leaving.
Clara was startled, "Ashlee, what do you want? I didn't do anything to provoke you. Let go of me."
"You have the face to say that? Clara, you are heartless!" Ashlee said sternly, "You're even so cruel to
your father? Devil! Witch!"
Hearing Ashlee's words, Clara was still confused. She didn't understand.
Ashlee questioned, "Did you deliberately ask Horace to teach us a lesson to seal the company, freeze
funds, and destroy our business? My father is also your father. How can you be so shameless! I was
with Darren, so you came to revenge us, didn't you? "
Where did this come from? Clara never told Horace about these. She wouldn't do this to vent her
anger!
Clara felt very innocent and said, "Don't be the first offends to first complain. I'm not as wicked as you
said. Do you think I would do these things like you? Ashlee, I tell you, I didn't do it! It's unnecessary."
No matter how Clara denied it, Ashlee believed that it was her who encouraged Horace to do this.
Her tone was even worse, "Not to mention that you're having an affair with my fiancé. Now you're
sending your husband to ruin the Middleton family business. You want to cut off our source of wealth
and live a poor life like you, right? Clara Selman, I underestimate you! Call Horace and tell him to stop!
Hurry, hurry up!"
Hearing Ashlee swear, Clara could not bear it and looked angry.
How could she have such a spiteful and heartless biological sister!
Clara said expressionless, "Ashlee, please be polite! I've never hooked up with Darren or asked
Horace to deal with you. It's all your imagination! I'm going to leave. I hope I've never known you. How
pathetic."
"Stop right there!" Ashlee tugged at Clara, not letting her go.
"Clara, you can't leave until you solve the problem today. Come back! Bitch!"
Clara and Ashlee were pushing and pulling in the garden. Ashlee fell carelessly. Clara instinctively
stepped forward to help her, but Ashlee shook her arms off.
"I don't need your help! Clara, stop pretending!" Ashlee screamed, "I know very well how jealous you've
always been. You just can't bear to see that Darren and I are getting married. Just like when we were
young, you secretly ruined my princess dress!"
