NovelXXXChapter 589 The Glenwood family scandal was snowballing, and soon after, irregularities in Glenwood Group's finances were exposed. Their stock price plummeted, with shareholders clamoring to pull their investments.
Chaos reigned within the Glenwood family. The stress proved too much for Scales, who suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the ICU.
Watching the company's shares hit rock bottom, Talbot was on the verge of a breakdown.
Word traveled fast. It wasn't long before Theo saw the public outrage erupting online.

The moment Talbot saw Jeanette, his expression hardened, brows knitting in displeasure. "Why did you bring her back here?" "Dad, you know as well as I do-Jeanette has nowhere else to go right now." Theo shot Jeanette a glance full of quiet sympathy.
He hesitated, his tone darkening. "Besides, her health's been fragile ever since she got sick last time." Just thinking about it made Theo's blood boil. If Citrine hadn't refused to let anyone treat Jeanette, she wouldn't be dealing with lingering health issues now.
After leaving the research center, Theo had whisked Jeanette straight to a Glenwood Group hospital. But not a single doctor dared operate on her. In the end, Theo had to personally select the most experienced surgeon to take her case.
Even so, the damage was done. Her heart and kidneys already weak-had only gotten worse.
Watching his son defend a woman accused of assault, Talbot's face twisted in barely concealed disgust.
He shot Jeanette a contemptuous glare. "I don't care what tricks you used to seduce my son, but letmake one thing clear: as long as I'm alive, you will never step foot into this family." Theo might be blind to it, but Talbot had seen enough in his lifetto read a person at a glance. This girl standing before him-he could see right through her.
Dick had landed in prison, and Aline ет had fled the country with whatever money she could grab. By all accounts, Jeanette should have left with her mother, but instead she'd latched onto Theo. It was obvious what she was after.
Talbot had always despised Dick, and felt no more affection for his daughter. He made his distaste plain for all to see.
Jeanette, privately seething with resentment, swallowed her anger. She knew she'd have to rely on the Glenwoods for her future, so she kept quiet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing Jeanette's humiliation, Theo frowned slightly. "Dad, don't talk about Jeanette like that." "Hmph. Is someone like her really worth all this trouble?" Talbot was already at his wit's end with the company's crisis; watching his son tangle himself up with a girl like Jeanette only made things worse.
Theo couldn't bring himself to argue with his father. Instead, he tried to comfort Jeanette. "Don't take my dad's words to heart. He's just upset." "I understand. I won't let it get to me," Jeanette replied, barely managing to keep a smile in place.
Relieved to see her composure, Theo finally relaxed.
He took a seat beside Talbot, his expression turning serious. "Dad, there's no way
to suppress the news about the Glenwoods anymore. Have you m sanymore. figured out who's behind all this?" Theo's question was heavy with concern.
Talbot's face darkened. He slammed his hand down on the table, voide trembling with fury. "Citrine Carmichael." "Citrine Carmichael?" Theo echoed in disbelief.
Seeing Theo's skepticism, Talbot nodded grimly. "It's true. She leaked the dirt about our hospitals and the e pharmaceutical plant, and the the one who reported our financials too."
