73.Chapter 73
‘Leave Nareigh and never return?” Philip thought, turning to Jonathan. Teresa also looked at Jonathan..
Jonathan remained indifferent, yet an unmistakable air of confidence surrounded him. This wasn’t merely about venting his anger by confronting Philip; it was a calculated move, carefully designed to pave the way for Teresa.
Roc Group owned a coveted plot of land in a prime location–an asset many desired. Philip shook his head solemnly. “Roc Group is my life’s work. I’ve poured everything
into it.”
Jonathan sneered. “You’ve destroyed your company, and you know as well as anyone that bankruptcy is inevitable. Instead of letting another company snatch it up or watching it go to auction, why not hand it over to your daughter?”
He added, “Consider it a small compensation for her. Whether Teresa will even accept it, however, is another matter entirely.”
“I have no reason to reject it,” Teresa said. “You tried to sell me off, and I won’t let that slide. If you transfer Roc Group to me, at least I can preserve the Johnston family’s reputation.”
The name “Johnston” wasn’t just Teresa’s or Philip’s; it was her grandparents‘ legacy, at
name built on their hard work and sacrifices, Philip fell silent, covering his face in regret, wondering, “How did it come to this?‘
“Sign this.” Jonathan slammed a contract in front of Philip. By signing it, Philip would agree to sever all ties with Teresa. The ownership and decision–making authority of Roc Group would transfer entirely to her.
Regardless of whether Roc Group changed its name or ventured into different industries in the future, it would have no further connection to Philip.
Philip gritted his teeth, thinking, ‘How could Jonathan be so calculating? Or is this hist true nature?”
In just two years, Jonathan had risen to become the richest man in Nareigh. Philip realized now how deeply he had misjudged him. But at this point, words were futile. Backed into a corner, Philip had no other choice.
He sighed. “Fine, I understand. I made my mistakes, and now I’m paying the price. But at least give me enough money to leave the country. I promise I’ll never set foot in Nareigh again.”
“Sure,” Teresa agreed.
As soon as Philip signed, he slumped back in defeat. It was over; he had lost everything.
“Can I have a moment?” Teresa turned to Jonathan, who nodded, and within minutes,
Teresa’s gaze hardened. “No, I wouldn’t. Even if I had nothing, even if it meant going to prison, I would never sell my child. At least then, I’d still have my humanity.”
