My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 136 Grandma Eva's Coming Back

Amy and Cathy both looked at Hilary, looking forward to the explosive news she was going to tell them.

Hilary drank the water and turned to Amy and her mother. She finally caught their attention.

"What is it?" Cathy was impatient. Seeing that Hilary was still silent, she became anxious. When she was anxious, Hilary found she was needed!

"Take it easy. Let me drink some water first, for my throat." Hilary took another sip of water.

"Well, the White Group went bankrupt very quickly today! It only took an hour. The bankruptcy was so thorough that nothing was left. Many people thought that we, the Carter family did that. In R City, we are capable but have no reason to do that. Still, Sophia is a Carter, isn't she? Therefore, it can't be us.

"So who was it? Very few families in R City are so powerful, but it couldn't be the Field family either. Since the White family is closely connected with the Field family, they will never do this.

"Then who did it?" Hilary paused for another sip of water. She was indeed thirsty.

"Who did it?" Cathy was curious, but Hilary stopped talking.

"Mr. Newell," Hilary said mysteriously.

"Mr. Newell? Impossible. He had been sitting here by Amy's side. He had never left. Neither of them had left." Cathy didn't believe it at all. How was that possible? How could he just sit here, doing nothing, and the White Group went bankrupt? It would need some super power.

"It's the truth. I went outside to nose about it when I heard this. I even bribed an insider. He told me that the person who suppressed the stock was from the Newell Group." When Hilary saw that her mother did not believe her, she added the evidence she knew anxiously.

Cathy and Amy looked at each other. No one could afford to offend Mr. Newell. Today, Sophia brought the disaster to her whole family for her offence to him. From now on, it seemed that they had to keep far away from him.

"We believe you. In this city, other than us and the Field family, only the Newell Group is capable to do so." Cathy nodded.

"Mom, but I think Mr. and Mrs. Newell are very sensible. If they were unreasonable, they would have come in to hit me directly today. But Mrs. Newell didn't do that. Instead, she just checked me first." Amy also felt the couple were very strange. Obviously, they were kind souls, but they did such a ruthless thing.

"I can't figure it out either. But who cares? The White Group's tragedy has nothing to do with us. All we need is just to mind our own business, so don't worry so much." Cathy was careless about other families. The three of them returned home together and John had rested. Cathy had sealed the news, so he knew nothing about what had happened to his family.

When Sophia came back, filled with anger, she felt that her husband was really a loser and she would be despised by those rich ladies in the future.

Her family had gone bankrupt, but the Carters just stood by and laughed. No one lent a hand. Who did this to the White family? Could it be Mr. Newell? But he had been staying with Amy and hadn't left at all. This was truly weird. Who did this to the White Group?

William was out, leaving Sophia alone in the house. She was watching TV alone in the living room.

Seeing the three women giggling as they entered the house, she felt vexed. Why were they so happy when she was unhappy?

"Mom, you're back?" Sophia suppressed her anger and greeted Cathy.

"Yes." Cathy snorted, thinking that Sophia really had the cheek to sit in the living room at this moment.

"I'll go and get you some water." Sophia stood up and poured water for them, as if nothing had happened.

"Is she mad or something? As a Carter for two years, she has never poured water for me," Hilary said in disbelief.

"I guess so. Sit down. She is pouring us some water, so we have to drink it." Cathy sat on the sofa and invited the two girls to sit beside her.

"Mom, I am afraid it's poisonous. Amy, don't tell me you're going to drink it. Today, you just survived her trap." Hilary refused and wanted to pull Amy away.

"That's right. I won't, either. It will be too late when trouble really comes." Hilary's words reminded Cathy of what had happened today. She immediately stood up and they went to Amy's bedroom. When Sophia brought out three glasses of water, she saw no one in the living room. These women looked down on her increasingly, right? The White family had collapsed, so they treated her like shit. Sophia threw the glasses on the carpet and went back to her room.

Richard rushed back. He already knew the White Group's bankruptcy and that it was done by Mr. Newell. But he thought it made sense. He would have done exactly the same to anyone who dared to ensnare him.

Unlike many around him, Richard appreciated Mr. Newell, since great heroes thought alike.

But now he came back with bad news.

"Richard, welcome back. Your wife is deeply hurt. You must comfort her properly." Cathy's face lit up when she saw her son.

"Yes, I see. I brought you all gifts." Richard smiled and asked his subordinates to give the gifts to everyone.

"Where is Amy's gift?" Careless as she was, Hilary discovered that Amy did not have any gifts.

"I'll give it to her later," Richard said with a smile.

Cathy found that ever since he married Amy, she saw more smiles on Richard's cold face.

"A secret gift," Hilary said discontentedly.

"Mom, I have some news for you. Grandma gets well so Dad wants to bring her back. You can prepare her room first," Richard said to Cathy.

Grandma Eva was an odd fish. She lived by herself with her daughter-in-law. Halbert had repeatedly asked her to live here, but she kept refusing. She and Grandpa John had always lived apart.

It was interesting to know that she was coming here this time. What changed her mind?
