Chapter 371 It Is Not Over Yet +5 Pearls
"It's not over yet. After all, the assets haven't been reclaimed," Sarah said with a chuckle.
Over the past few years, the money that Sloane and the illegitimate children had been spending was from Sarah's and Bennett's shared marital assets. With the illegitimate children unable to prove their identities, the situation was entirely in Sarah's favor.
Once the verdict was delivered and the assets returned, not only would Sloane face financial ruin, but it would also be a big blow to Bennett's parents.
Previously, Sarah and Bennett had provided the elderly couple with numerous fine items that allowed them to enjoy a comfortable life. Now, they would have to revert to their old lifestyle for the sake of their grandchildren.
This is retribution. After all, they previously allowed the mistress and illegitimate children to spend Bennett's money recklessly. Now, they have to cough up every single penny they've spent, even if it means they have to tighten their belts.
Sure enough, everything that Sarah had once given to them was reclaimed.
At first, the other party was fearless because they wielded control over the company. When Sloane's brother took over, however, he discovered that the company had not even started generating profits due to Bennett's failure to complete a single project and even delaying various payments...
The family was thrown for a loop and went around seeking help from their connections, but soon discovered that they had already been ostracized by the business world in Yrinas.
When the relentless creditors had them utterly terrified, they finally realized they had no idea how to run a company and decided to sell it off instead of manage it themselves. However, no one would buy it.
In the end, they shamelessly sought Sarah's help, only to find that she had moved abroad with Nina and was expanding her career overseas.
However, all that would only happen later.
For now, gossip was running rampant among the prominent families in Yrinas. Sarah and Nina hardly went out, spending time with relatives instead.
However, the house had been much quieter the past two days.
There was still some time before Lionel's birthday, and since it was Alexander's first visit to Yrinas after taking over the company, it was only natural for him to have an inspection.
Thus, anyone involved with the Quirk family's business had to make time to go with Alexander.
Apart from Isabella, Christopher, and Rosalie, the only other people who stayed behind were Carlos and
Janice. As the eldest cousin, Carlos naturally assumed the role of tour guide. Janice, on the other hand, was there to keep everyone entertained.
That day, however, Janice could not join them as she had classes to attend.
And so, only four of them were left.

After watching them debate what to do next for a good while without getting anywhere, Carlos recalled the message he had received earlier. He hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "Actually, some of the students from the academy are performing at the concert hall today. Are you guys interested in checking it out?"
No sooner had he said that than the others turned to look at him. Christopher and Rosalie had not forgotten the piece of gossip they had heard from Isabella carlier and were suddenly a little intrigued.
Christopher had a better understanding of music and proceeded to enquire about it in detail. Once he grasped the situation, he uttered in surprise, "Such a performance is quite important for those students. Don't you need to be with them for the whole thing?"
"I took time off to accompany you all, didn't I? Besides, they have other teachers with them," Carlos replied, rubbing his chin uncomfortably
Hahaha! So, that's what it is. His favorite student sent him a message, begging for him to go and watch the performance. He doesn't want to give his student hope, yet he's extremely worried about her performance. That's why he's torn.
Christopher and Rosalie immediately looked at Carlos with half-smiles, causing him to shift uneasily.
Since it's a performance by your students, let's go watch it. After all, we can't think of anything else to do
the moment," Isabella said, suppressing a smile that threatened to turn up the corners of her mouth. Both Christopher and Rosalie nodded in agreement.
