"What did you just say?"
"I just got some calls, and all of our collaborators have canceled their orders with us!"
Derek's eyes widened, and he felt increasingly anxious.
They had only just taken over, but they were running into such huge problems.
The Langley Group had no employees and no orders. How were they supposed to run the company?
How could they get any money from it? How were they going to explain themselves to Margot?
While they felt lost and anxious, someone called them.
"Derek, Christian, what's going on?" Margot's enraged voice came through from the other end of the phone.
"We don't know either..." Derek pulled a long face.
Who knew that David and Simone had such a strong influence?
"Enough talk! Come home now!" Margot said urgently.
Derek and Christian did not understand what was going on, so they went back.
Once they arrived in the living room, they found that everyone had a sour look on their faces.
"Tell them." Margot sighed.
"Numerous Serpentine Gang members suddenly occupied Heavenly Will Bazaar, and no customer dares to go over
"The workers of the construction project at the western lake of Rivenesco have gone on a strike. The contractors broke our deal. Some government departments have decided to attack us, and our project has been ordered to halt. "All of our partners for our cultural media company have turned against us. All the projects that were already set in motion have been canceled. We can't run the company anymore."
The barrage of bad news made Margot feel stressed. Her face was dark as if she had just suffered a great loss.
"What happened? How did our family fall into such trouble overnight?" Derek and Christian cried out in shock.
So, it was not just the Langley Group. All of their other companies were in trouble too.
This was definitely not a coincidence.
"Initial estimates show that the Langley family has incurred up to one hundred million in losses. If this continues, in less than ten days, we'll have to declare bankruptcy," the clerk sighed as he held his laptop. The other members panicked.
To think that the problem was so severe!
"Figure out why this is happening!" Margot roared.
Amid their panic, the other Langley family members went to work.
In less than half a day, they found some clues.
"The Langley Group collapsed because David and Simone left. Ronald Quigley of the Serpentine Gang said that he wants justice for them."

"I heard that some powerful government officials put pressure on the departments to attack our construction project at the western lake. That government official met David and Simone just yesterday," Margot was in disbelief as she heard the reports.
"What? They're all related to David and Simone? How could this be possible?" The Langley family members could not accept it.
Their family had been by the main Langley family. Without the support of the Excelsior Group, they would never have had a chance to rise.
Why were there so many people stepping forward to fight for them?
Ronald Quigley was the leader of the underground of Rivenesco. None of them would dare get on his bad side.
Who was the government official who ordered multiple departments with just one word?
Had David and Simone managed to form ties with both the underground world and the lawful world?
The Langley family was in shock and frustration.
None of them had expected to cause such a huge stir by cutting ties with David and his family.
"Mom, what should we do?" Derek and the others looked at Margot eagerly.
If this continued, the Langley family was done for!
Margot's face was unreadable.
Was she supposed to beg David and Simone for forgiveness?
She could not do that.
When she remembered Dustin's words from that day, she was enraged.
He had claimed that they were going to beg David and his family to come back to them...
