Chapter 862: 012 Avery Saunders’s Downfall_5

"Mr. Parker, as long as I can follow you, I don’t care where we go," Jackson Clarke said resolutely, knowing that he would stick with him for life, wherever he went, that’s where he would be.

Being able to stop mingling in the Saunders family business was also a kind of release for him.

"Hmm, let’s arrange to see the lawyer tonight," Ryan Parker nodded, issuing a direct order.

Celia Wade clenched her fists tightly; finally, her mother could rest in peace.

——Divider Line——

Avery Saunders couldn’t find Beatrice Hansen and was close to breaking down after a day or two.

The meeting that had previously taken place at Saunders Corporation was of utmost importance to them. They had just discussed a new project, investing 60% of the company’s liquid assets in it, with Jackson Clarke orchestrating the deal. However, at this crucial juncture, Jackson Clarke said he would no longer be involved, sending Ian Saunders into a panic, calling him repeatedly.

Out of options, their business partners refused to cooperate upon hearing that Jackson Clarke was no longer leading the project. The funds had already been invested, and if the project were to halt and the partners didn’t invest, it would mean the Saunders Family had to put in the money. But the Saunders Family’s remaining funds, while theoretically sufficient, would lead to bankruptcy if the project failed.

With such high stakes, Ian Saunders wasn’t a fool; he wasn’t willing to bear the risk alone.

Therefore, his first choice was to find Jackson Clarke to continue the work. If Jackson Clarke could just see this project through, Ian Saunders wouldn’t bother him if he wanted to resign or leave.

Resigning at such a critical moment—wasn’t that deliberately harming him?

Realizing this, Ian Saunders suddenly understood something: if Jackson Clarke were indeed someone with ulterior motives, placed by his side to harm him at any moment, then there was truly no hope on that end.

No sooner had Ian Saunders come to this realization than Avery Saunders received a call from Ryan Parker.

At the same time, she received a court summons.

"Hello?" Avery Saunders saw the unfamiliar phone number but decided to answer it, wondering if Beatrice Hansen had changed her mind and was reaching out to her.

"This is Ryan Parker. You received the court summons, right? The hearing is in three days. Be mentally prepared. You can ask your father to hire the best lawyer for you—if your Saunders Family still has the money," Ryan Parker’s voice was cold, as if he was a messenger crawling out of hell, coming to collect debts from her.

Avery Saunders felt a chill run through her body. She hadn’t expected Ryan Parker to be capable of such cold indifference, a kind that sent shivers down one’s spine, making her back go cold.

"Have you come to M Country?" Avery Saunders asked, her voice trembling.

"Yes, I had told you before, if you don’t come to me, I’ll come to you," Ryan Parker said coldly, looking at the bustling cityscape outside the window, "Avery Saunders, and while you’re at it, tell your father and your Saunders Family that their good days are over. If I remember correctly, I’ve warned you more than once that the Wade Family’s assets weren’t so easy to swallow. Did you believe that?"

"..." Avery Saunders’s pupils dilated. Ryan Parker’s words were crystal clear, and she understood them, but she had always been extremely confident. Whatever she wanted, she would get. In this man, she could say, she faced her first setback in life, but she felt that as long as she tried, this man would surely see her worth. However, it seemed she was only now realizing just how wrong she had been. This man was unsympathetically stubborn.

For the Wade Family, for that detestable Celia Wade, he was being so cruel to her.

"Ryan Parker, what do you want?" She hadn’t yet opened the express delivery she’d received, but Ryan Parker was already telling her it contained a court summons. He was actually sending her such a thing—who did he think he was?

"To make your Saunders Family pay the price they deserve. Things that shouldn’t have been swallowed must be spit out, and for the things that shouldn’t have been done—like murder for example—pay the consequences, do you understand?" Ryan Parker finished speaking and hung up the phone.

After hearing these words, Avery Saunders collapsed on the ground, and then her phone beeped. Looking at it, she saw the video clip from the day of her wedding.

The footage was extremely clear. It showed her colliding with the car that was turning the corner. The driver even tried to avoid her, but failed to escape completely, and the accident happened. The car rolled over her legs, fortunately saving her life, though she thought she would be disabled for life. However, the medical examination’s results were not as dire as they could have been.
