Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 102

His fingers tightened into a fist.

If it had been Serena…

She would never have acted like Hailey.

Over the past four years, whenever he got into trouble and his father was about to hit him, Serena would always be the first to jump in front of him.

Just then, Patrick’s secretary burst through the door, her face pale. “Mr. Wynn! I called you so many times, why didn’t you answer? There’s a huge problem at the company!”

The secretary was on the verge of tears. “Several companies have sent notices, one after another, terminating all partnerships with the Wynn Group! Our capital flow… it’s completely cut off! And the banks are calling in our loans!”

Patrick froze for a moment, struggling to breathe. “How can that be? Those companies that were cozying up to us because of the Lancaster Group, didn’t they already…?”

“It’s not the deals that were still being negotiated!” the secretary said frantically. “It’s Titancrest Group, NovaForge Capital… they all said that from now on, they will not cooperate with the Wynn Group in any capacity!”

“What?!” Patrick’s voice nearly cracked. “Weren’t Titancrest and NovaForge always on good terms with us? Just last week, I ran into them on the golf course, and we had a pleasant chat. How could they…?”

Could it be because of the Lancaster Group, too?

That was impossible!

While the Lancaster family was the wealthiest in Vaelion City, Titancrest Group and NovaForge Capital had been powerhouses across the entire nation of Elyndor since their founding. In the business world, they were fully capable of holding their own against the Lancasters.

For the past four years, he had maintained an excellent relationship with the presidents of Titancrest Group and NovaForge Capital.

The secretary asked, “Mr. Wynn, what should we do now? If… if the Wynn Group can’t find new investment, it’s very likely… that we’ll go bankrupt.”

Patrick’s head was spinning. The Lancaster Group’s offer had sent him soaring for a day, and its cancellation had been the first domino to fall…

“Could it… really be because of Serena?”

A faint, almost ethereal voice drifted down from the second floor.

Derek Wynn, the family’s second son, stood there in a loose robe, his eyes haggard and his jaw covered in stubble, clearly having neglected himself for days.

He stood at the top of the stairs, his voice trembling slightly. “Logan said she was at the Obsidian Palace that day. And she was the one who said she could make the Lancaster family cancel the partnership in five seconds.”
