THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 916

They were there to investigate the Somerset Group's tax evasion.

In less than a day, the Somerset Group was shut down for evading nearly a billion dollars in taxes over multiple instances.

The company was already on shaky ground after Gonzales Holdings terminated their contract. Once this news broke, major partners rushed to sever ties, and the Somerset Group lost hundreds of millions overnight.

With Jeremiah in jail, Old Mrs. Somerset's hair turned white overnight, and she collapsed in bed from the stress.

Flossie Somerset came to visit her.

"Mom, I told you time and again not to spoil my brother! Look at this mess now. Tax evasion and a murder charge. It'll be a miracle if he ever gets out of this."

If it were a first-time offense for tax evasion, he might have had a chance after paying the back taxes and fines. But the Somerset Group was implicated in multiple cases of tax evasion. Forget a comeback; it was uncertain if Jeremiah would even leave prison alive.

In Flossie's eyes, this was all Old Mrs. Somerset's fault. If she hadn't constantly enabled Jeremiah, he wouldn't have become the man he was today.

Old Mrs. Somerset had a cloth wrapped around her forehead. "Flossie, now is not the time for blame! You need to pull some strings and get your brother bailed out as soon as possible!"

A holding cell was no place for a human being. The thought of her precious son suffering in a place like that made Old Mrs. Somerset's heart ache with a pain so sharp she could hardly breathe.

"Bail? How? We're talking about a human life!" Flossie sighed. "I don't have that kind of power."
