Chapter 1489: 371: Direct torment to the scum! _2 Chapter 1489: 371: Direct torment to the scum! _2 Because everyone banded together to boycott the Thompson Group, the group's stocks plummeted to a halt.
It was a sea of green.
It sent shivers down one's spine.
“Don't worry, you're not seeing things,” Norma Augus said, “Wait and see. Given the current situation, the Thompson Clan will declare bankruptcy in less than a month.”
The Thompson Clan was indeed strong.
If it were an ordinary family, they would not have been able to last three days.
Phoebe Perryne's face was full of smiles, and there were no words to describe her feelings now.
Her daughter was indeed excellent.
Even the once-miraculous Viola Thompson was about to fall at the hands of Norma Augus.
“What a joy to behold!” Phoebe Perryne laughed, “I never thought I'd live to see the day the Thompson Clan got what they deserved!”
Norma Augus stayed silent, her eyes filled with a triumphant gleam.
Phoebe Perryne rose from the sofa, “I'm going to tell your grandmother the good news right now!”
With that, she quickly turned and headed upstairs.
Although Mrs. Perryne was bedridden and barely conscious, she was still breathing, and as long as she was breathing, it was not too late.
Tears welling in her eyes, Phoebe Perryne sat by Mrs. Perryne's side, holding her hand, “Mom, Norma avenged you. The Thompson Clan is about to fall, and I'll make Mary Perryne apologize to you in person.”
Mrs. Perryne, as if she had heard her, shed a tear.
The one thing she'd longed to see all her life was the downfall of the Thompson Clan, a chance to redeem her honour.
“And, everyone will clear your name. You were not the other woman, you and dad were truly in love.”
Meanwhile, at the Thompson's.
Viola Thompson had been trying to repair the disk for two hours but to no avail, this had her pacing anxiously back and forth downstairs.
She couldn't fathom how dire their situation would be if the disk couldn't be repaired.
“Mary, what's wrong?” Sawyer Thompson asked, carrying a cup of tea.
Seeing his relaxed demeanor, Mary Perryne raised an eyebrow, “How can you have the mood to drink tea at a time like this?”
What's happening now?
Shouldn't Sawyer Thompson be in the top-level conference room of the Thompson Group, gathering all the shareholders and discussing a solution?
In response, Sawyer Thompson laughed, “What could be more important than drinking tea?”
Mary Perryne continued, “Do you know how much our stocks have fallen?”
Sawyer Thompson looked up at her mildly, jesting, “Do I also know that you're green with envy?”
Mary Perryne immediately kicked him without a word.
Swiftly, Sawyer Thompson caught her hand and assured her, “Don't worry, I have a plan.”
Mary Perryne looked at Sawyer Thompson, “What plan?”
Sawyer continued, “The Thompson Group has been established for a century. The Perryne mother and daughter want to destroy us just with public opinion is no different from a pipe dream.”
There's an adage that the dragon slayer would eventually become the dragon.
Having said this, Sawyer Thompson patted Mary Perryne on the shoulder, “So you don't need to worry about these issues.”
Mary Perryne wanted to say something, but swallowed her words in the end.
Sawyer Thompson was always decisive. If he said there was nothing to worry about, there shouldn't be a big problem.
Upstairs.
In Viola Thompson's bedroom.
Viola sat at the computer desk, meticulously repairing the disk in her hand.
She leaned slightly forward, her movements were fluid and swift.
Even though Mary Perryne had taken good care of the disc, it was made of polycarbonate plastic, which was easy to damage and break. Therefore, even if there were no visible cracks, the data layer had severely degraded over time, preventing the video from playing properly.
It might stump others, but it was different for Viola.
These problems were not issues in her eyes.
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, another hour had passed.
Putting the disk on the table, Viola Thompson came downstairs. “Mom, do we have a DVD player at home?”
As technology advanced, the once essential appliance in every household, the DVD player, had long since retired from the stage.
“You've fixed it?” Mary Perryne was engaged in a conversation with Sawyer Thompson. Upon hearing Viola's voice, she looked up in surprise.
Viola continued, “I don't know if I did, so I want to find a DVD player to try it out.”
“We have one! There's one in my room!”
Viola followed Mary Perryne to the master bedroom.
Although the DVD player was also a bit old, it did not affect its use.
Viola put the disc into the DVD player and pressed the play button.
The video was taken thirty-five years ago.
Although the picture wasn't very clear, at least it wasn't in black and white.
