Chapter 418
However, in the following days, the Fuller family felt as though they jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire instead. They were besieged from all sides, overwhelmed with misery.
They were already involved in a murder case, which brought unprecedented blows to Dexter’s business. It was nearly destroyed, with its market value and stocks plummeting.
In just a few months, they applied for bankruptcy protection as they were unable to withstand the mounting pressure.
Unfortunately, the bankruptcy protection application was rejected for various reasons, and the company was forced into liquidation. One project falled after another, leaving the company’s accounts insufficient to cover its debts
Loans from banks, penalty fees for contract breaches, and an enormous amount of unpaid employee wages.
With all that, despite Dexter’s countless attempts to turn the tide, he couldn’t find anyone willing to support him old friends avoided him, and business partners eagerly swooped in to carve up the Tuller family assets, wishing they could devout him whole.
To make matters worse, the damned map took away any chance for the Fuller family to take a breather. They even faced two incidents of threats and blackmail during this time.
After months of torment, the Faller couple was left drained and disheveled.
In the end, the Fuller family declared bankruptcy. Even their villa was confiscated to pay off debts. Dexter’s previous jest that they might end up sleeping on the streets had tragically become a reality.
It was a gloomy afternoon when they were evicted from their villa. All valuable items in the house were considered part of the debt cepayment and could not be Taken with them.
They were only allowed to pack personal items such as clothing
Although they had been prepared for this, being forcibly removed from the villa they had lived in for over two decades still hit hard. Myra tried to hold her head high, but the moment she turned around, her eyes reddened.
From now on, this place would no longer be their home,
Dexter consoled her, saying, “It’s okay. I’ll make a comeback. It won’t take long. I’ll definitely buy our home back!”
Myra nodded in agreement
It was not just the villa, but even the cars in the garage were seized as part of the debt repayment. The once–prominent Fuller couple had no choice but to hail a cab. Their new residence was the only property still under Myra’s came that hadn’t been seized for debt repayment. It was located in the city center and had barely been used in the past.
At least it gave them a place to stay.
When Fayla entered the new home, she was dumbfounded. “It’s so small! How are we supposed to live here?”
The apartment wasn’t small, but it felt cramped to them. Transitioning from a frugal lifestyle to a bumious one was easy, but the reverse was difficult. Even Myra found it hard to adapt to such a drastic change.
However, there was no altemative. These days, the Fuller family endored severe blows, and the taste of cold indifference from others left them feeling isolated
and helpless..
With a sigh, Myra said, “At least Sebastian is abroad. His little company seems to be doing alright. It’s also our tallback. At worst, we won’t starve Dexter remained silent,
Η
He and Sebastian had a major fallout when Sebastian was going abroad. At the time, Dexter was furious, nearly scolding his son to his face for refusing to inherit the family business and niging off to start his own instead
But now, he couldn’t even provide his son with anything and might end up relying on him instead. The blow to his pride was undeniable.
However, the most affected was still Kayla. She had never imagined the Fuller family would go bankrupt like this, to the point of being evicted.
she muttered, “If I’d known, we should’ve kept that map. At least we could’ve sold it for some money…
Hearing that, Dexter and Myra exchanged better smiles.
