Chapter 157 The Fall of the Moore Family
John’s face was stern; he took his phone. He dialed his Executive Secretary’s phone number. When it was connected, he said, “Hello Ian, please terminate all the contracts we have with the Moore Group and stop their ongoing projects.
Also, contact the Logistics Director to cancel all trucks from delivering goods to Moore businesses.”
Ian Swift was puzzled because the Taylor and the Moore family were in-laws. He quickly performed his tasks efficiently.
Also, he contacted their legal team to send a statement indicating that they were no longer Moore Group’s business partner. That statement caused the Moore Group share price to plummet.
At the Moore residence, Mr Moore and his wife were sitting in the living room shaken. His wife was crying in her husband’s arms, “Hubby, I was so scared I thought our son-in-law would kill me.
He didn’t utter a word; he was looking at me with icy-cold eyes. Do you think Dr Morgan told the Taylor family about Valencia’s sickness?”
Her husband was so upset and replied, “I was against this deception in the first place, but you and your daughter forced me. What would happen to our business now?
Do you think the Taylor family would forgive us? Xavier is ruthless, he will bankrupt our company.”
Mrs Moore looked at her husband and sneered, “Please stop blaming me. Everything you have achieved is because of my friendship with Caroline.
Did I force you to take Xavier’s land to build a shopping centre? I was surprised when you asked for the land. It was not part of our plan, but you did it because of your greed.” Her husband looked at her coldly, but he didn’t refute her words because it was the truth.
Mrs Moore took her phone and dialed Mrs Taylor’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Caroline, do you mind if we visit your family this morning? It’s been a while since we have visited our granddaughter.”
The Moore family was angry at Valencia for asking her husband not to remarry. They last saw Sage when she was three months old. They didn’t know that their granddaughter was sick.
Caroline was sleeping when her husband rushed to her father-in-law’s bedroom. She wasn’t aware of what had happened.
She smiled and replied, “Hello Valery, I am so grateful to the Lord that you are still with us. You are welcome to visit us anytime.” Then they hung up.
At that moment, Mr Moore received a call from the Finance Director indicating that all the ongoing projects had been canceled. Also, the funds have been withdrawn.
He was scared to tell him about the statement from the Taylor Group, so he asked him to read his emails. Mr Moore’s face turned pale, he rushed to his study room to see what was happening. His wife followed him.
When Mr Moore saw the statement from the Taylor Group he nearly fainted. They were finished. All the projects they had were from the Taylor Group. Also, other companies approached them because they had a good relationship with the Taylor family.
His wife’s deception had put his company on its knees. At that moment, he received a call from the shopping centre manager indicating that the Taylor Group was boycotting the Moore businesses.
The Taylor Group Logistic Director told him that he received an instruction from his boss not to deliver goods to the shopping centre. Mr Moore couldn’t believe his ears. How could the shopping centre function without deliveries?
The shopping centre housed three hundred luxury brands, high-end restaurants, two supermarkets, and the biggest cinema.
At the Taylor residence, John Taylor walked to their bedroom. His face was stern but when he saw his lovely wife he smiled and said, “Sweetheart, we found out that Valery was faking her sickness.
Her daughter, Valencia, was diagnosed with stomach cancer when she was eighteen years old. Her treating doctor told the family that she had one and a half years to live, but they hid that information from us.
Our son is devastated because he trusted Valencia with his life. They promised each other that they would never keep secrets. The foundation of their marriage was based on lies.
I am so angry; the Moore family took our family for granted. It is clear to me that she married our son for benefits only. She didn’t love him.”
Caroline was so shocked she looked at her husband to see if he wasn’t joking. There was no smile on her husband’s face. Tears streamed down her face, and she asked, “How could they do this to us? Where is my son?”
Her husband hugged her tightly and told her that he was with his grandfather. Caroline wiped her tears and said, “I just received a call from Valery indicating that they will be visiting us this morning. Should I stop them?”
Her husband shook his head and replied, “Don’t stop them. They must give us an explanation. I will never forgive them for the pain they put us through.
They even neglected their grandchild because their daughter asked my son never to remarry. They are heartless. I don’t want my granddaughter to be associated with them.”
Caroline was blaming herself because her father-in-law warned her about Valery’s greediness, but she didn’t listen. Her son was in so much pain because of her. She tried to wipe her tears, but they came faster.
Her husband hugged her tightly and said, “My love, don’t cry anymore. We have to be strong for our son.” Then he kissed his wife’s tears.
Caroline wiped her tears and said, “Hubby, I want to see my son.” They walked to their father’s bedroom. Xavier was still sitting on his grandfather’s bed.
Caroline greeted her father-in-law, then she hugged her son tightly and said, “I am so sorry.” Xavier smiled at his mother and said, “It’s not your fault, Mom. The Moore family deceived us all.”
Caroline looked at her father-in-law and said, “Dad, I just received a call from Valery indicating that they are coming to visit their granddaughter. At that time, I wasn’t aware of their deceit. Should I stop them, Dad?”
Grandpa Taylor shook his head and replied, “No, don’t stop them. The Moore family must give us an explanation. It is clear to me that Valencia became sick before she dated my grandson. They were preparing for their youngest daughter to enter the Taylor family.
Also, the medication that accelerated their daughter’s death was part of their plan. It also affected my great-granddaughter’s health. They are heartless; they didn’t even mourn for the passing of their daughter.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
The Taylor family waited the whole day for the Moore family, but they never came. They were scared of the Taylor family’s wrath. Within an hour, the Moore Group was bankrupt. Mr Moore was receiving calls from his partners left and right. He decided to switch his phone off.
