A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 1034

Elias and Jack were seated together and engaged in conversation. Jack's other friends automatically kept their distance from him, behaving as if they weren't acquainted. In truth, they were all part of Jack's arsenal but would only reveal themselves if something out of the ordinary happened.

Similar to Jack, Elias also didn't have anyone by his side. Normally, he would have many people surrounding him and never lacked for friends.

However, things were different today. A strange air had permeated the surrounding ever since Felix was taken away. Although everyone still greeted Elias with a smile, they still made sure to keep a certain distance from him.

Elias had his fair share of die-hard supporters, but most people had chosen to side with Patrick. Even Jett, who had once been Elias' staunch ally, had ultimately chosen to side with Patrick, along with the rest of the Goulds.

To curry favor with the Roe and Havok families, Jett decided to sneakily report negative news about the Carpenters to Patrick and the others during the eye-catching and extravagant Silverheart Gala.

Although the dirt that the Goulds had on the Carpenters were not damning enough to cause any lasting damage on the latter family, it was unfortunate that Patrick had Winona's unconditional support. Furthermore, the Roe and Havok families also had the support of Gerard.

Despite the negative news not being impactful enough to completely ruin the Carpenters' reputation, it would be enough to cause Carpenter Corporation's shares to plummet, which would in turn trigger the shareholders to sell off all the stocks they had in hand. When that time comes, the Carpenter family would naturally suffer a heavy blow.

Before the gala started, the relevant organizations had taken the initiative to launch investigations into the Carpenter family in order to show their allegiance to Gerard. The purpose was to show everyone that the Carpenters had crossed the wrong person. A bleak future was the price they had to pay for doing such a thing.
