Even someone as unrepentant as Harold felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him at that moment.


    What on earth was happening?


    Wendy found herself in a state of utter helplessness. She was torn, unsure if she should intervene in the escting conflict.


    If she stepped in, she would feel pity for her father.


    Yet, if she chose not to intervene, she couldn’t shake off the feelings of sympathy for her mother.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    This was indeed a tragic situation.


    Christopher had a firm grip on Hannah’s head and continued to strike her for another ten minutes, stopping only when she had lost consciousness, battered and nearly lifeless.


    As Hannahy unconscious, the Lady had just finished sterilizing her room. Upon descending the stairs, she was met with a shocking sight and immediately confronted Christopher, “How could you beat her to the brink of death?!”


    Feeling wronged, Christopher replied, “Mom! This wretched woman cheated on me and even tried to harm me further! Why shouldn’t I teach her a lesson?”


    Lady Wilson responded, “You can certainly teach her a lesson, but did you have to do it so brutally? What if Mr. Webb finds out and holds us responsible? What if he decides our family is no longer worth his investment? Do you understand the risk you’re posing to our entire family’s future?”


    Harold suddenly had an epiphany. Grasping the gravity of the situation, he eximed, “Yes! Dad, what will we do if Mr. Webb discovers this? If he gets angry, he might pull his investment from the Wilson Group and reim the vi! We could end up homeless!”


    Christopher’s expression darkened, shifting from anger to despair. He finally conceded, “Alright, let’s call an ambnce to take her to the hospital. Didn’t this woman say she was nning to abort her baby anyway? We can arrange for her to have that done as well!”


    Hannah was quickly transported to the hospital, where she regained consciousness after receiving emergency treatment.


    Upon hearing about this incident from his assistant, Donald was consumed by anger.


    This family was the most despicable and foolish he had ever encountered.


    Their constant disy of inferiority was both pathetic and astonishing.


    He realized he had exhausted all his strategies to deal with Charlie by now.


    Neither the despicable Wilson family nor the so-called Eight Heavenly Kings posed any real threat to Charlie.


    In fact, the Eight Heavenly Kings were far less formidable than the Wilson family.


    While the Wilson family was still intact, the Eight Heavenly Kings had beenpletely wiped out.


    Now, with the Webb family having lost the Eight Heavenly Kings, they were grappling with internal strife and external threats.


    Adding to their woes, their reputation and influence had sharply declined, causing their stock prices to plummet.


    Once valued at over two hundred billion dors, the Webb family’s worth had now dropped below one hundred billion.<fnceb1> Fresh chapters posted on fin?novel</fnceb1>


    Currently, the Webb family was no longer on par with the Moore family in terms of strength and power.


    Moreover, it was bing increasingly clear that the Webb family was no longer the leading family in the Southern Region.


    If this trend continued, they might soon find themselves relegated to non-entity status among first-line families.


    In that case, the Webb family would find it nearly impossible to recover.


    Sean was also feeling downcast.


    He had genuinely cared for Jasmine, believing that marrying him would elevate her status significantly.


    Now, it seemed that marrying Jasmine might only benefit him instead.


    Feeling disheartened, he turned to Donald and asked, “Dad, do you think there’s still any hope for me and Jasmine?”
