However, Donald didn't have time to console Alice at the moment. Instead of feeling sorry for her, as she was on the verge of collapsing in despair, he hated her very much.
If it weren't for her and her good-for-nothing brother, the Webb family would not have suffered such a massive credibility crisis! 5
He didn’t give a d*mn about Nelson’s death, but the video he made right before he died dragged the entire Webb family down with him! It was very likely that the family would lose more than half their assets. If s o, they would no longer be the top family in the South Region. 6
Moreover, it was worse to be associated with human trafficking. It was certain that the people of the country would not forget this for a while. Thus, the Webb family would become the target of malicious attacks for a very long time.
The consequences of these would result in a devastating and far-reaching effect on the family’s business empire. Perhaps the family's assets would continue to shrink in the future. 6
It was very likely that they would be downgraded to a second-rate family on the social pyramid at this rate.
The saddest part of all was that Donald's hands were
tied to handle this. He did all he could but he couldn't reverse the situation.
Frankly, even God could not do anything to save himself from this mess, because arousing a nest of hornets, which was the public, was a fearsome action t o be committed. 5
Even the most powerful Wade family could not do anything to save themselves from the public hatred if they had a scum who ruined the family’s reputation. 2
Therefore, the head of big families across the country determined that, "We must learn from the mistakes committed by the Webb family, they've taught us a valuable lesson today.”
Donald had given up his efforts to save the family’s reputation. The wrath of fury was still burning inside him and all he could think of was one thing—he wanted to seek revenge on Charlie. 6
Sean ran over to him and said, "Dad, the Big Eight have replied. They said that they would only obey Grandpa's commands, they wouldn't take other people’s orders."
