James’s face darkened instantly. “Say that again. What do you mean, the company?”His assistant looked back at him cautiously. “T-The company has gone bankrupt…”James grabbed the assistant by the collar. “You're talking nonsense!”The assistant trembled, holding out his phone. James snatched it and scanned the screen at lightning speed.After James forced Henry’s mistress to terminate her pregnancy, she harbored a deep grudge.
