Raymond smiled and accepted it all.
However, Donald's expression grew cold.
In previous years, they would come over mostly to show off, but there weren't any humiliating or insulting actions.
Today, however, they were outright humiliating Raymond and his family!
Donald's eyes scanned the room. Everyone had an air of arrogance to them.
They've had this attitude for decades, but only today are they revealing how callous they can be.
Everyone was taking digs at Raymond and Donald.
They didn't like Raymond's spiritedness and had always wondered how someone like him could be the head of the Campbell family.
Raymond had fallen from grace and dragged everyone down with him.
However, what they suffered as a result was not serious.
Raymond had distributed his own family fortune to protect them.
Without Raymond's blessing, they struggled!
Gideon laughed until his eyes welled up with tears. “Okay, okay, Raymond. There's something else I forgot to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“That powerful man in the capital, the one whose fortune you told, is dying!” Gideon waited for Raymond's reaction.
As expected, Raymond looked as if all the life had been drained out of him. “He's dying?”
“Yes. And that means Dragon Fide Villa is unable to be completed, and the project you wanted to use to rise again is gone!” Gideon said triumphantly.
That powerful man was the person Gideon and the rest were most afraid of.
As long as that man was still alive, it was possible for Raymond to make a comeback.
They were afraid of that, because back then it was Gideon who sabotaged Raymond by leaking all the information about Dragon Fide Villa's plans!
When Raymond filed for bankruptcy, Gideon was the one who took action the fastest.
