Just after the Collins Group changed ownership, the Thomas Group had been teetering on the edge of collapse.
This state persisted for three months, and then the company directly faced bankruptcy.
Timothy Thomas could never have imagined things would turn out this way, nor did anyone in the Thomas Family foresee such an outcome.
And this cruel turn of events was the result of a deliberate financial stock disaster that struck down the finance-centric Thomas Family in an instant, leaving no chance for rescue.
Seeing this bankruptcy situation, Timothy Thomas fainted on the spot, unable to bear the pressure.
When he woke up, he saw Olivia Collins sitting silently by his hospital bed, wiping away her tears.
"The company... how is the company?" was Timothy Thomas's first reaction upon waking.
