Chapter 957: Chapter 957: I Hope You Can Be Merciful
This call completely took Charlotte by surprise, and she was stunned for a moment.
Why would the Anne family suddenly call her?
However, although Charlotte was puzzled, she still politely responded, "Hello, Mr. Anne."
The voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before it came through faintly, "Miss Charlotte, my daughter has been unruly and caused you a lot of trouble. On her behalf, I apologize to you."
"Mr. Anne, Miss Anne has already apologized to me, and there are no hard feelings between us anymore."
"Then I hope Miss Thompson can let go and give our Anne family a way out," Andrew Anne’s voice was filled with helplessness.
Although on the surface Zoe Anne withdrew from her circles because of her own issues, the Anne family was well aware of how she had schemed against Charlotte behind the scenes. To protect themselves, the Anne family decided to send Zoe out of the country.
Charlotte didn’t take this matter to heart, but the other members of the Thompson family, after investigating what exactly Zoe had done, had no intention of letting the Anne family off the hook.
They naturally took action as a small lesson for the Anne family.
Within less than a day, the Anne Group’s shares plummeted.
However, Charlotte was unaware of these events, and Andrew Anne’s words hit her like a bucket of cold fog.
"Mr. Anne, you..." Charlotte was somewhat at a loss for words.
"Miss Charlotte, the shares of our Anne Group have already plummeted. If this continues, the Anne family will go bankrupt. Miss Charlotte, I hope you can show mercy."
Andrew Anne had been busy with this matter for several days without rest, and now his family was truly at the end of their rope, so he had no choice but to shamelessly ask Charlotte for help.
Hearing Andrew Anne’s words, Charlotte was surprised and quickly turned on her computer to check the stock market, indeed finding the Anne Group’s stocks starting to plummet at a terrifying rate.
Charlotte of course knew she hadn’t done anything, but it wasn’t difficult to guess that her brothers must be acting on her behalf.
But still...
Charlotte felt that something wasn’t quite right.
While Charlotte was lost in thought, Andrew Anne’s voice continued, "Miss Charlotte, I wouldn’t call you if we weren’t really struggling to survive, but Zoe did indeed go too far, and it’s also my fault for not disciplining my daughter properly."
After speaking, Andrew Anne deeply sighed.
In fact, Andrew Anne himself knew that it was his Anne family who had done wrong, and the Thompson family’s reprimand was only to be expected.
But he couldn’t just watch his family go bankrupt.
After hearing this, Charlotte immediately agreed, after all, her issue with Zoe had been resolved long ago.
It seemed that upon receiving Charlotte’s response, Andrew Anne on the other end seemed to let out a sigh of relief, but his voice was choked with emotion by the end.
After hanging up the phone with Andrew Anne, Charlotte also found some recent information and situations regarding the Anne Group online.
In less than three days’ time, the Anne family’s external assets had drastically depleted to the point of exhaustion.
Charlotte read the information on the internet, her brows furrowing slightly.
Such events had happened before, so Charlotte was well aware of her brothers’ methods, but this was the first time they had suppressed a company so harshly.
Now that Charlotte had already agreed to help Andrew Anne’s side, she immediately contacted Henry Thompson, but this time the call was answered by Charlotte’s second brother, Joshua Thompson.
"Joshua?"
Charlotte looked at the phone number, certain she had called her eldest brother Henry.
"Charlotte, why do you always sneak around contacting Henry, that guy, and never call us?"
