Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 418

However, in the following days, the Fuller family felt as though they jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire instead. They were besieged from all sides, overwhelmed with misery.

They were already involved in a murder case, which brought unprecedented blows to Dexter's business. It was nearly destroyed, with its market value and stocks plummeting.

In just a few months, they applied for bankruptcy protection as they were unable to withstand the mounting pressure.

Unfortunately, the bankruptcy protection application was rejected for various reasons, and the company was forced into liquidation. One project failed after another, leaving the company's accounts insufficient to cover its debts.

Loans from banks, penalty fees for contract breaches, and an enormous amount of unpaid employee wages…

With all that, despite Dexter's countless attempts to turn the tide, he couldn't find anyone willing to support him. Old friends avoided him, and business partners eagerly swooped in to carve up the Fuller family assets, wishing they could devour him whole.

To make matters worse, the damned map took away any chance for the Fuller family to take a breather. They even faced two incidents of threats and blackmail during this time.

After months of torment, the Fuller couple was left drained and disheveled.

In the end, the Fuller family declared bankruptcy. Even their villa was confiscated to pay off debts. Dexter's previous jest that they might end up sleeping on the streets had tragically become a reality.

It was a gloomy afternoon when they were evicted from their villa. All valuable items in the house were considered part of the debt repayment and could not be taken with them.

They were only allowed to pack personal items such as clothing.

Although they had been prepared for this, being forcibly removed from the villa they had lived in for over two decades still hit hard. Myra tried to hold her head high, but the moment she turned around, her eyes reddened.

From now on, this place would no longer be their home.

Dexter consoled her, saying, "It's okay. I'll make a comeback. It won't take long. I'll definitely buy our home back!"
