My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 1239 Tricked

The feeling of possession was truly intoxicating.

Ashlyn, who had been engrossed in the drama, raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lucas, who was also watching the drama. The man's face was calm, not surprised by the appearance of Liam. She couldn't help but smirk, and understanding dawned on her. “I didn't expect you to have a penchant for playing matchmaker.”

Lucas gazed at her affectionately, his thin lips slightly curved. “After maintaining it for over twenty years, Liam lost his virginity when he was tricked by ZZ organization in Zaewora five years ago. All of us knew about it. However, after he resolved the matter and went to find the girl, he returned with a disappointed look on his face, telling us that the girl had gotten married. From then on, he gave up completely, never uttering a word about the loss of his virginity. None of us dared to bring it up. Whoever dared to joke about that matter with him was simply courting death. I accidentally saw Yuri's photo in his wallet before.”

“So, you informed Liam? Do you think Yuri is having a hard time here, desperately needing this domineering president to come and rescue his little lady?” Ashlyn responded calmly with a raised eyebrow. This is just like a plot from a Mary Sue domineering president novel. In the plot, the girl is raped on her wedding night, then abused by her husband's family. But then, the domineering president came to rescue and protect her. She was once living in hell, but after the domineering president came to rescue her, she turned her life around.

Ashlyn automatically filled in the plot of a Mary Sue novel with over a million words.

They were enjoying the drama, unlike the others who were part of it and didn't have the luxury to do so.

Everyone in the Guzman family had faces as black as the bottom of a pot, especially Marilyn. She never expected that Liam would be so well-prepared, even having a paternity test ready.

She couldn't catch her breath, nearly choked by the reality.

However, what Raymond was worried about was something else entirely. They had offended the President of North Wind Airlines, Liam. What will become of the Guzman family in the future? Will there be good days ahead? We should be fine. After all, Yuri and her mother are still standing perfectly fine in front of Liam. This man probably won't mess with us.

Raymond had just finished comforting himself when suddenly, the Guzman family's butler stumbled into the hall in a fluster.

“Mr. Guzman! Mr. Guzman! Something bad had happened! Mrs. Guzman! Mrs. Guzman!”

The butler's face was as pale as a sheet.

He rushed toward Raymond and Marilyn, barely able to keep his footing. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

A sudden sense of foreboding welled up in Raymond's heart, his face abruptly changing color as he gripped the butler's arms. “What's wrong? What has happened?”

“Mr. Guzman, o-our company is besieged by countless creditors. Some even barged into our house, rummaging through everything, threatening that if we don't pay up, they will...”

As the butler spoke, tears streaked down his face.

He almost choked up to the point of being unable to keep talking.

Raymond was struck by a bolt from the blue. It felt as if a muffled blow had landed on his head with a thud, and it took him a while to recover.

Marilyn exclaimed sharply, “How could we possibly be pursued for debts? Our company has always been profitable!”

“Mrs. Guzman, just this morning, the stock market plummeted, and our share price hit rock bottom. Countless investors are cursing us, accusing us of fraud and money laundering. Our company has completely gone bankrupt.”

The butler was weeping bitterly. Having served the Guzman family for two to three decades, he had long considered it his own home.

Yet, it had come to the point of bankruptcy.

“Did you get it wrong?” Marilyn felt like a laughingstock, a spectacle for all to see. Her family had gone bankrupt, and it seemed like the whole world knew about it.

Suddenly, she glared menacingly at Yuri and lunged at her, shouting, “You're a jinx! It's all because of marrying you that the Guzman family has become so unlucky. Our son is in jail, and the company has gone bankrupt. This is all your fault!”
