Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: Anne Family Bankruptcy
"What does ’family ruined, people perished’ mean?" Charlotte Thompson sharply caught the phrase from Andrew Anne’s words and immediately asked.
"I had already begged you to spare our Anne family, but what happened? On the surface, you pretended to agree, but behind the scenes, you never stopped putting pressure on our Anne family. Now our Anne family has gone bankrupt. Are you satisfied?"
As Andrew spoke, his emotions became increasingly agitated, even showing signs of wanting to stand up from his chair.
"The Anne family has gone bankrupt..."
Charlotte murmured softly, this matter indeed exceeded her expectations.
After composing herself, Charlotte raised her head and addressed Andrew again.
"Mr. Anne, the bankruptcy of your Anne family has nothing to do with us, the Thompson Family. We have long since stopped secretly suppressing you."
"Nonsense! Other than you, who else has such power and capacity to target our Anne family!" Andrew naturally didn’t believe Charlotte’s words.
"After you came to see me last time, I went back and questioned my brother. However, he repeatedly assured that our Thompson Family had long since ceased to put any pressure on your Anne family. So, Mr. Anne, the one actually behind your Anne family’s bankruptcy is someone else."
"Do you think I would believe your words? Our Anne family has never made enemies in the business world, so how could others suppress us?"
This comment also reflected the confusion in Charlotte’s heart.
Who indeed was out to suppress the Anne family and intentionally placing the blame on their Thompson family?
Clearly, it appeared that someone had orchestrated a plot specifically against the Thompson family.
"So you’re speechless now that your motives have been exposed?"
Seeing Charlotte’s silent demeanor, Andrew assumed that Charlotte was tacitly admitting to the deeds of the Thompson Family.
"Do you really think your Thompson Family can do whatever it pleases? Sooner or later, I will make your Thompson Family pay!" Andrew gritted his teeth as he glared at Charlotte.
Just then, Charlotte spoke calmly, "Mr. Anne, suppressing your Anne family and even causing its bankruptcy, what benefit does that bring us, the Thompson Family?"
Charlotte’s inquiry was sharp and left Andrew momentarily unable to respond.
"If it were just plain business competition, but there is absolutely no conflict of interest between the Anne family and the Thompson Family in the business world, why would we, the Thompson Family, go to great lengths to mobilize our influence and time to target the Anne family?"
Charlotte shared all the thoughts she kept in her heart.
"Moreover, with your Anne family’s strong family background and foundation, even the Thompson Family couldn’t possibly drive your Anne family to complete bankruptcy so quickly."
These words caused Andrew to fall into silence.
After a while, Andrew finally lifted his head again, seemingly unwilling to concede, and retorted, "Nonsense! You’re making all this up! I won’t believe it."
"Believing it or not is your choice, Mr. Anne."
Watching Andrew’s reaction, Charlotte calmly stood up and earnestly said to him,
"But this matter concerns the reputation of our Thompson Family, so I will definitely thoroughly investigate. Mr. Anne, rest assured, I will uncover the truth of the matter."
Andrew initially wanted to mock Charlotte for overestimating herself, but when he looked up and met Charlotte’s gaze.
Suddenly, Andrew found himself at a loss for words.
