Chapter 326
Cora couldn't help but say, "Sara, things might still turn around. Maybe someone fabricated these accusations to frame Quinton. I heard Ashley has already fled, so there's no evidence left"
Sara replied, "How can it be fake when Yohannes has come forward as a witness? I sensed something was off long ago. Selina, whom I once discarded like an old shoe, looked so much like Quinton and me, while Ashley didn't. But I believed in Quinton, Yohannes, and that Ashley was child, so 1 ignored those strange feelings. It's ironic that I hurt and despised Selina for Ashley, the child my husband had from cheating with another woman, yet I treated Ashley as my salvation. Ashley, however, saw me as a fool. She never thought of me as her mother, so she didn't hesitate to join forces with her biological mother to betray the Harvey family.
my
Hearing Sara's sorrowful words, Corn, who had always been at odds with Selina, fell silent. Putting herself in Sara's shoes, she thought, 'If I were in Sara's situation, I'd definitely go insane. This is far worse than when my husband's affair made headlines, and I had to force a smile and help clear up the rumors. Cora then said, "Sara, I have some bad news to share. You might want to brace yourself before you hear it" Cora knew that even if she didn't say anything. Sara would find out sooner or later. Cora mused, 'At least if I'm here, I can provide some comfort when she hears it'
Sara laughed self-deprecatingly. "Cora, at this point, what can I not accept? The most absurd tragedies have already happened to me. Go ahead. I can handle anything."
Cora said, "All right. According to my sources, Quinton was arrested this time because of issues with the financial reports. Honestly, every publicly traded company has these to some extent, but unless someone is foolish enough to expose themselves, it's nearly impossible to detect." These financial report issues were like walking a legal tightrope. It was illegal, but not blatantly so. However, calling it legal would also be a lie,
Sara pursed her lips. "Ashley sold these reports for money, got a fake identity, and fled Clusia, didn't sher'
Cora responded, "Although these financial report records won't get Quinton a long prison sentence, the real problem is that Harvey Group is in chaos due to his scandal. If Quinton ends up in jail now and someone with an agenda amplifies the situation, the Harvey Group's stock plummet to rock bottom, plunging the company into a crisis of trust. I'm afraid Quinton's power might be stripped, and Harvey Group could fall
price could into someone else's hands
Sara said, "Let it be. I don't want to deal with this anymore."
"Saral" Cora gripped Sara's shoulders. "Even if Quinton made mistakes, Harvey Group was built by you and Quinton together. Are you really willing to watch it fall apart! That woman, Sofia, exposed Quinton's affairs publicly at a press conference, and Ashley ran away. It must have been her doing!"
"What's done in the dark will come to light. Now that I think about it, Quinton is just disgusting. I've been kept in the dark and deceived by him for over 20 years. Quinton wove a web of lies, swearing he'd love me forever, yet he slept with another woman and had a child. I've been raising his illegitimate daughter like a fool, not even knowing my biological daughter died years ago!" Tears streamed down Sara's face as she spoke. Her heart ached. To say she didn't care would be a lie. Quinton was the man she loved most in this world. That was precisely why she couldn't accept Quinton's betrayal and the reason her heart hurt so much.
Cora asked, "Are you just going to let it go and let that mistress get away scot-free?"
Sara uttered, "Let the children handle this. Cora, I'm powerless now. Even if I want to stand up now, I can't. I just want to escape all this. I want to leave the country, go to the house my parents bought, and live a quiet life away from Clusia, away from all of this." Cora responded, "I understand, Sara. Whatever you do, I'll support you
Sara stated. "Thank you, Cora. They hugged each other tightly.
A few days later, Quinton finally got a chance to accept visitors. Initially, Quinton was confident, thinking it was just a rival of Harvey Group trying to take advantage of the situation and kick him while he was down. Once Quinton found the opportunity, he'd quickly get out on bail and clear his name, putting all the rumors to rest. But under the police's interrogation, something felt increasingly off
Quinton wondered. 'How does anyone know about these top-secret financials? Besides me, no one else should have known Just as Cora said, these financial reports were an unspoken secret for every listed company, like a set of unwritten rules. Every company did it and did it flawlessly, known only to themselves, skirting the edges of legality. If nothing was exposed, it didn't matter, but if it was, a catastrophe ensued. A cold shiver ran down Quinton's spine. He thought, Tm screwed this time. Where did I slip up? Unless I confessed it myself, no one else could have known, not even Sara.
was slightly taken aback. "Cora
Dressed in his prison uniform, Quinton came to the visiting area. Cora and Patrick were on the other side. Quinton was s Patrick, where's Sara? Why didn't she come?"
"You still have the nerve to ask! You drove Sard away. She's left Clusia and isn't planning to return, berated Cora. Her f thinking. If we weren't in a visitation room. I'd have lunged at Quinton and given him a good bearing

"Mrs. Clark, let me explain." Patrick had found the overwhelming scandal over the past few days hard to handle, consuming his every thought. The accusations from shareholders, the uneasy glances within the company, the lurking external threats, and some shareholders were vaguely showing signs of switching sides and supporting Sofia. Patrick had sent people to investigate Sofia and Ashley, trying to find out who was really behind all this, but the other side hid too well, giving him no chance. Patrick didn't know if he could withstand this crisis, but he knew he had to give it his all This was the Harvey family's business, and even if Quinton had made mistakes and Sara had left in despair, as their son, the wealth and legacy they'd left behind could not be easily abandoned. Patrick couldn't give up without a fight.
