The Unlucky Turn by Mark Twain 380

“See for yourself what stupid things your precious sister has done!”

On the screen of Mr. Watson’s phone was the notification just received by the company’s legal department.

[The Fulton Group hereby terminates all cooperation with Glitz Entertainment and withdraws all investment funds, effective immediately.]

The signature at the bottom was Donovan Fulton’s personal autograph.

Clive’s face instantly turned ugly. He sat up in disbelief, picking up Mr. Watson’s phone to examine it closely. Gone was his lazy, relaxed demeanor from earlier.

He froze, muttering to himself. “This… how is this possible.. I’ve never offended anyone from their company. Why would they withdraw capital for no reason? This shouldn’t have anything to do with me, right?”

Maybe Mr. Watson had offended them and was now pushing the blame onto him. After all, the Fulton Group had signed the contract with them only recently. Clive couldn’t recall doing anything to the Fulton Group. Why would they inexplicably be willing to pay the penalty fee just to pull their money out of the company?

Seeing that Clive finally realized the severity of the situation but still couldn’t figure out the truth, Mr. Watson laughed coldly and reminded him. “Ha, what do you mean it has nothing to do with you? You wouldn’t happen to be unaware that the person you just gave a hard time to on stage was the daughter of the Fulton Group, would you?”

Donovan, the Chairman of the Fulton Group, had only one daughter, a pearl he cherished in his palm. She had probably never experienced being deliberately embarrassed in her entire life. And today, she was humiliated at a concert her own family invested in. How could Donovan not be angry?

Clive stiffened. Only then did he remember the spoiled, unrestrained girl standing next to

Leilani.

Although Luke had mentioned it to him, he hadn’t taken it to heart at the time.

Box 1… Judie… Fulton Group…

Connecting everything together, Clive’s throat tightened, and his voice went off-key with shock. “Judie is… the Fulton Group’s…”

Mr. Watson sneered, confirming Judie’s identity. “Judie is Donovan’s only daughter! The heiress of the Fulton Group! You embarrassed her in front of tens of thousands of people. So she turned around and complained to her father, and now look! The Fulton family, wanting to vent their anger for their daughter, simply pulled their funds and left! Do you have any idea how much this is going to cost the company?”

16:31

Mr. Watson looked at him coldly, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “The news of the Fulton Group’s withdrawal is already spreading. The company’s stock shows signs of plummeting. You’d better think hard about how you’re going to explain this to the shareholders!”

Clive still felt it was surreal. How could Leilani be connected to the Fulton family? They were even willing to accept the cost of breaching the contract just to make him suffer for Leilani’s sake! Did the Fulton heiress have water in her brain?

Even at this point, he didn’t think it was his fault.

Since the Fulton Group withdrawing was already a done deal, Clive stopped worrying about it. After all, without the Fulton Group, there was still his family-the Sloan family. By withdrawing capital outside of the regulations, the Fulton Group was actually handing him a sum of penalty money.

Clive scoffed, casually running a hand through his hair, showing disdain for Mr. Watson’s panic. “I thought it was something major! If the Fulton family wants to withdraw, let them. What’s the big deal? If the Fultons won’t invest, my family, the Sloans, will.”
