PopularNovelChapter 316 The air inside Jansen Group's offices was thick with tension. Every floor buzzed with ringing phones and frantic voices.
"Pick up already! Why are all the suppliers bailing so fast?" "A freaking hurricane had to hit now of all times! The construction crews are stranded! Someone call in rescue!" "How are we supposed to get in touch with rescue teams in this kind of weather?" Serena moved quickly through the maze of office cubicles, and her gaze flicked to the window where the rain blurred into a thick mist. She heard the staff's complaints and frowned deeply.
"Who in their right mind thought it was smart to break ground on the island project during hurricane season?" Natalie trailed closely behind, arms full of reports and documents, as she said, "It was the other investors' fault. As soon as they heard Larson Group was involved, they rushed to break ground.
"They didn't even wait for supplier confirmations-they just sent out three engineering teams and hired locals to start digging. Then, the hurricane hit, and a flood followed..." Serena didn't even want to hear more. She already knew the rest-and it made her sick.

If they were, Hugh wouldn't spend half his life scrutinizing every proposal that landed on his desk.
Without hesitation, she pushed into the conference room.
The moment the doors swung open, Howard's desperate voice ccrashing.
"Then, what do you expectto do? It's not just the island project-we can't afford another hit anywhere! How the hell am I supposed to face the other shareholders?" "Dad, I didn't know it would turn into a disaster! I was just thinking about Jansen Group's future!" Sarah wailed so loud it made the windows tremble.
Around the table, a few senior executives sat in stunned silence. Their faces were tight with dread, but they said nothing.
Serena pulled out a chair and sat down with a harsh sound of metal scraping on tile. The sound finally broke the silence and turned every head in the conference room.
Howard's eyes lit up with hope.
"Nina, thank God you're here! Please see if you can get Larson Group to explain why they pulled out! That island project was supposed to be perfect-" Serena didn't let him finish. "I warned you guys, but no one listened. And now? What's the point of asking anything?
"The crash of the island project was inevitable. But you couldn't wait You pushed for with You ed for progress even during a hurricane. You even tried to do foundation work in the middle of it all.

"That was practically digging through your own grave. Larson Group saw the writing on the wall and pulled out. Honestly, that was the only sane move left." Larson Group wasn't in the business of charity. And no smart investor would stick around with partners this reckless.
Howard slammed his palm down on the table so hard that the surface shook. "You're still talking like that? Do you even understand what's at stake? "I'm telling you right now, Serena. If you don't fix this, and Jansen Group goes bankrupt, you'll lose your biggest safety net.
"Don't think you'll stay comfortable as Mrs. Larson without it. We rise together, fall together. If we go down, you'll go down with us!" Serena let out a short, breathless laugh. His words were unbelievable.
"And what exactly do you expectto do at this point? Larson Group's withdrawal makes it clear they want nothing to do with this mess. Do you think I go to Hugh, he'll covere Jansen Group's losses? Don't forget how you and Sarah went behind my back and annoyed Grandpa." At that, Howard's bravado crumbled.
