Two days later, Jane received a package.
"At a time like this, instead of thinking about how to solve things, you're buying stuff."
Arnold was in the living room having a conversation with William. Seeing Jane come downstairs to collect the package, he couldn't help but scold her.
Recently, incidents caused by Sara and Jane one after the other, severely damaged the Yoris family's decades-long good reputation.
What was even more crucial was that Byron and the Hansen family were holding grudges, targeting the Yoris Group's businesses, causing many of their previously confirmed major orders to fall through.
The orders that were currently sustaining the company's operations were based on the long-standing cooperation with clients, who had chosen not to terminate contracts for the time being.
But if the Yoris Group's reputation didn't turn around, there was a fear of even those old clients being unable to be retained.
The Yoris Group's business was not doing well, and Arnold feared that the century-old legacy might be ruined. As a result, he became stricter in his demands on Jane.
Jane might have been spoiled, as she always felt that Arnold was nitpicking and finding faults with her.
"Grandpa, I didn't buy anything. Why do you always say I'm at fault for everything?"
"Didn't buy anything? Then what's in your hand?"
William was displeased with his daughter's defiance towards Arnold, so he scolded her as well.
"I don't know. I've never bought anything online."
Jane was also puzzled, but on the delivery receipt, her name and phone number were indeed written.
After hesitating for a moment, Jane opened the package but was startled and quickly threw the contents away. She ran to Arnold's side to seek shelter.
"What's wrong?"
"What scares you like this?"
Despite both men scolding Jane, she was, after all, the beloved treasure they had doted on for over twenty years.
Seeing how frightened she was, Arnold quickly hugged Jane while William swiftly stepped forward to examine the package.
He was indeed startled by what he saw.
Because inside the package was the almost mutilated body of a dead rat, accompanied by a chilling message written in blood: [Jane, you will end up just like this rat!]
