Chapter 33: Bankruptcy II

Zara never in a hundred times in her mind thought that something like this will happen to her father.

Her mind thinks of Elizabeth first. She grabs her phone and dialled her number.

"Hello?" on the other side Elizabeth sounded confused. She was just gonna change after coming home when she received Zara's call.

"Elizabeth what enmity do you have with me. I was forced to do that, but how could you do this to me? Please forgive me it's my nativity...!" Zara knows blaming Elizabeth will not solve anything she thought to sort out the things. She doesn't want to live a poor life.

"What..! sorry what did I do to you? and I can't forgive you. Stop blaming me you have enmity towards me, not me..!" Elizabeth exclaims in a bad tone. She doesn't know why Zara's call her and what the hell is she blabbering.

"Don't pretend to be innocent....! You..... Elizabeth didn't you asked your father to make the Zhou corporation stop cooperating with my father. Please ask your father to not do such a thing and ask Zhou cooperation to not back off from the project."

In the first part, Zara loses control but she calms down right now her father's project is more important. She also knows only this project can lead them to bankruptcy. Later part she pleads with Elizabeth.

"Oh...! Please... I haven't said anything to my father yet. But if you bad mouth me without any reason I don't mind asking dad." Elizabeth reply coldly and hung up the phone. She was recalling her previous foolishness her mood was already down.

Elizabeth didn't think about Zara for now but who else has the enmity for the Zara family. Dad didn't do it so who else except me no one else knows that someone is involved with Lucy. She summoned Jason, the head of her mama's gang, "Go and Investigate Zara family's case. Who is behind their bankruptcy."

"Yes, madam..!" Jason comes and goes in a swift. He was a professional hatchman.

After the phone hung up, Mike gaze at her daughter for an answer like saying 'what did she said? Has she agreed to forgive you?'

Zara was also in a daze. 'If Elizabeth didn't do anything so who else is behind this.'

"You useless brat...! just tell me if she agreed or not." Not getting a response from her daughter for a minute Mike yelled at Zara impatiently.

"dad, it's not her," Zara said snapping out of the daze.

"You..." Mike stormed out of the living room and went to his study to call his friend who was the vice president at Zhou corporation.

Behind him Zara clenched her fist in anger, her dad never treated her like this before. She mustn't listen to that white lotus, hmph...!

Zara wants to abolish Lucy. When this source of the root is finished no will find about her. It's the only option as Elizabeth didn't disclose anything the only suspect left is Lucy. She must have done this to make her a scapegoat. Zara finds a reason and thinks to eradicate Lucy.

Zara contacts the reporter and pays them for making Lucy the trending topic. She also gives them the video of Lucy behaving haggard during the banquet. She had used all her saving.

The reporters agreed happily. Due to Lucy's fame they can't miss such an exclusive scandal and for which they are getting extra pay. They are happy with that. The reporters are smart and didn't mention the Smith family tactfully.

~~In Mike's study~~

"Hello..!" the other party was not comfortable receiving the call.

"Hey, buddy why did Zhou corporation terminate the contract. Everything was going well, is there something wrong with the arrangements?" Mike asked carefully, he can't think of anyone right now.

"Wrong...! you are wrong. Don't you know which big shot have you offended," the other party sound annoyed.

"Buddy, I don't know. You know after this project I always have been careful to not offend anyone. Can you tell me who is behind the termination? At least I can know how to convenience the person." Mike thought that his friend would help him.

"Are you full of yourself? How can you offend the Johnson group and wanted to poach them in your dreams..... hahaha...!"

"Also Don't contact me again from today, I don't know you," the other party laughed sarcastically and hung up the phone with the warning.

"W... Wh... What...! Johnson group." Mike shuttered. How did he offend Johnson group they never had any connection or contact. He always has been careful with his works.

He had already lost all his hope now. Mike used to belong to a middle-class family. Recently due to his luck and his wife dowry he can achieve what he had today.

He wants to achieve more and cooperate with Zhou cooperation for a big project, but who would have thought they will terminate the contract halfway. He knows they have a better law team than him and he will not be able to extract much money from them.

He is regretting his greediness now. Only if he had been happy with what he has and didn't overstep in wish to gain more he must be in good wealth. But who can change human nature?
