Chapter 699 The Wall Has Fallen

Book:Mysterious Mrs. Pansy Published:2024-6-4

And at that moment, news of Duncan Group’s bankruptcy quickly spread to the public.
Everyone expressed disbelief, as Duncan Group was once considered one of the excellent companies, and now it had declared bankruptcy.
For everyone else, Duncan Group was merely a flash in the pan. After terminating the contract with Maltz Group, it became enemies with Pansy Group. In the end, it had to rely on acquiring clients everywhere to sustain the company’s livelihood.
It should have been clear back then that Duncan Group was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Soon after Kevin left, Duncan Group had a new president.
That person was Romeo.
The employees of the company couldn’t believe it. They never expected that Romeo would take the money and run. His ambition couldn’t have been solely about money!
Romeo became a major shareholder in the company because he held a portion of the funds that Kevin had given him. Money was everything.
And this became Romeo’s capital. He had another reason: his backer was Pansy Group.
The employees of Duncan Group could never have imagined that this person who had once been their savior was actually sent by Pansy Group!
With Romeo becoming the major shareholder of the company, he realized Pansy Group’s influence. He was originally an employee of Pansy Group and had now leaped to become a major shareholder, relying on Pansy Group’s support behind the scenes.
So, in this aspect, Romeo was very grateful to Patrick.
Thus, Duncan Group became a subsidiary of Pansy Group. No matter what major decisions were made, they had to consult with Pansy Group.
And today was Romeo’s first day in office.
On the first day, he called for a general meeting of the original employees. In the meeting room, the employees had mixed feelings.
They couldn’t believe that Romeo, a small employee of Pansy Group, could become the president of Duncan Group. Thinking about it, they felt somewhat resentful.
But no one dared to show it. They could only lower their heads and watch Romeo sitting in the center.
“From now on, this place is no longer Duncan Group, but Cloud Emotion Group.”
Romeo’s words drew the attention of the people around him.
The meaning of Cloud Emotion Group was evident to everyone.
It was probably Patrick’s idea. This move was also meant to provoke Kevin.
To turn Kevin’s years of hard work into a tool for promoting love, how ridiculous.
“So, you are no longer employees of Duncan Group, but of Cloud Emotion Group, with a certain connection to Pansy Group.”
Romeo’s words undoubtedly aimed to dispel any misguided thoughts some people had.
“Now that you are part of Cloud Emotion Group, you should be honest and diligent. With Kevin’s bankruptcy, I am the only boss here, and the superior of Cloud Emotion Group is Pansy Group.”
The surrounding employees could only nod in agreement. They looked at Romeo, who seemed arrogant and imposing, and didn’t dare to object.
After all, Romeo was now the sole major shareholder of the company, and they were just employees. It wouldn’t be good to offend the boss.
Soon, the meeting ended, and the employees were filled with anxiety.
Many new faces appeared in the company, all transferred from Pansy Group, aimed at better controlling Cloud Emotion Group.
But now Cloud Emotion Group was nothing more than an empty shell. It had already been drained internally by Pansy Group and Maltz Group.
On the other hand, Kevin, after losing the company, had nothing left.
Kevin used to have a certain reputation and wealth thanks to the company. Now that the company had fallen into the hands of Pansy Group, he knew Patrick well enough to understand that they would have no further dealings.
Returning to Duncan Group had become a dead end.
Kevin sat on the roadside, staring blankly at the bustling surroundings. After Romeo took over the company, even his house disappeared along with the company.
Now Kevin had become homeless, with not a penny to his name, plummeting from heaven to hell.
“Kevin?”
At that moment, Kevin heard a familiar voice in his ear.
He looked up-it was Katherine.
Kevin opened his mouth, surprised to encounter Katherine here. He remembered the last time he saw Katherine, it was in a hotel.
Recalling the things he said that day, Kevin lowered his head, unwilling to meet Katherine’s gaze.
“What are you doing here?”
Katherine had seen the news about Cloud Emotion Group online. She quickly guessed that Kevin was now homeless, so she hurriedly came out to find him.
What Kevin didn’t know was that during those days spent with Katherine, she had fallen in love with him.
But because of Kevin’s harsh words in the hotel that day, Katherine had suppressed her feelings and scolded him angrily.
Since then, Katherine hadn’t seen Kevin again.
Seeing Kevin in such a desolate state, Katherine felt a pang of sympathy.
She had wanted to persuade Tyler to stop, but she remembered Kevin’s appearance in the hotel and held back.
Kevin’s current state was completely different from the confident person she had first met.
Now, Kevin had nothing. The only thing he could rely on was Katherine’s sympathy.
With that in mind, Kevin stood up and embraced Katherine.
Katherine’s heart raced, feeling uncertain about Kevin’s actions.
“You…,” Katherine spoke up, “You have nowhere to go?”
At that question, Kevin embarrassedly nodded.
“Then come back with me.”
Katherine held Kevin’s hand. “Now that Duncan Group is gone, my parents won’t give you a hard time.”
Kevin hesitated for a moment, looking at Katherine’s fiery eyes, and nodded.
He never expected that besides the Maltz family, he had nowhere else to go.
Soon, Katherine led Kevin into the Maltz family. As expected, Mrs. Maltz and Mr. Maltz didn’t look pleased.
“Why did you bring him back? Don’t you know about our relationship with him?”
Tyler spoke up, blaming Katherine for her immaturity.
Now that Pansy Group had taken over Duncan Group, Katherine bringing Kevin back was a direct insult to Pansy Group.
“He has nothing now, he poses no threat to Pansy Group anymore. If I didn’t bring him home, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to handle it.”
Katherine’s face showed determination as she insisted on bringing Kevin into the family.
Although the Maltz family’s parents disapproved, under Katherine’s persistent persuasion, Kevin eventually became a member of the Maltz family.
A few days later, the Maltz family secretly held a wedding ceremony for the couple in a restaurant. Kevin officially became the son-in-law of the Maltz family.
