Chapter 747 The Price of Greed
As the screen gradually faded to black, despair filled my heart.
Now, even my brother didn’t want to help me. Who could I turn to for help?
Caden … I lowered my head and thought for a second, and a name suddenly popped into my mind.
Eleanor!
Exactly, Eleanor was Caden’s mother. No matter how proud Caden was, he still had to listen to her, right?
With that thought, I gathered my emotions, spent some time in the kitchen, and then brought a bunch of food to find Eleanor.
Since the last incident in the office, I hadn’t been in touch with Eleanor, but I was determined to ask for her help this time.
“Mrs. Holbrook.” I cried as soon as I walked in, the kind of tearful, pitiful–look that always made Eleanor’s. heart ache.
“Good girl, you’ve suffered,” Eleanor said, gently caressing my face and comforting me.
Her attitude gave me hope. It seemed that Eleanor was still on my side this time.
“Mrs. Holbrook, I’m fine.” I sniffed, then took out the chicken soup I had made. “Last time, you said you liked it, so I brought it again for you.”
Eleanor was touched. “You’ve worked hard, always thinking of me like this.”
“Dad just called and said the company’s stock has dropped sharply, and it’s about to collapse … ” I said this while tears streamed down my face. “That’s why I had no choice but to come to you for help. You’re the only one I can turn to.”
“It’s all Caden’s fault, doing such a reckless thing and making you suffer,” Eleanor said, gently wiping the tears from my face. “Okay, stop crying. If you keep crying, you won’t be the pretty girl anymore.”
I pressed my lips and obediently stopped crying.
Eleanor stood up and went into the room. After a while, she returned with a bank card.
“This card is from Caden. He said it’s for my retirement. It’s not much, just a few tens of millions. I hope it can help you get through this.”
A few tens of millions wasn’t a small amount. It was enough to help the Wild Pack out of the trouble.
“Thank you, Mrs. Holbrook. I’ll come visit you every day and make soup for you.” I was so moved that I almost got on my knees.
Eleanor helped me up, laughing/“Silly girl, just take it. Otherwise, your brother will get anxious waiting for you.”
I nodded, then went to the bank, transferred the money to Michael, and barely managed to save the company’s stock.

It didn’t recover as much as before, but thankfully it bounced back a bit, so the losses weren’t too bad
Caden’s POV:
The news that Wild Pack had been saved quickly reached my ears.
I raised an eyebrow. This situation might not be as simple as it seemed.
“Go, find out who helped the Crawfords,” I ordered a beta.
The investigation results came back quickly.
“We just found out that someone gave Wild Pack 50 million, and coincidentally, your mother’s card is short by 50 million.”
I nodded. It seemed my mother had been in contact with Wendy secretly.
I picked up my phone and called the old mansion.
“Brat, finally thinking of calling to check on me?” My grandpa’s deep, powerful voice came through the phone.
“You’re so healthy, you don’t need me to check on you,” I replied, not wasting time and getting straight to the point.
“I was harassed by a woman today. You know I’m married.”
“That’s a small matter. You can handle it yourself,” my grandpa said indifferently.
“My mother helped her. So, this is something you need to handle, because I can’t directly punish her.” I made my request clear.
Things unfolded exactly as I expected. My grandpa immediately grounded my mom and strictly forbade her from helping Wendy again.
At the same time, I bought up stock in Wild Pack’s company and made it clear that anyone who supported Wild Pack would be going up against Eclipse Pack.
It didn’t take long for the original shareholders. to sell off their stocks, and Wild Pack’s stock value plummeted to rock bottom.
The news of Wild Pack being suppressed again quickly made its way to the trending searches. Netizens started mocking Wendy, saying she tried to gain but lost instead.
Rosaline’s POV:
In this digital age, I naturally saw Wendy trending as soon as it happened.
Even though I was still a bit angry/seeing what Wendy did in that video, I felt relieved that so many people online were defending me.
Looking at Wendy’s current situation, I couldn’t help but feel that this was the price of greed.
She hadn’t realized the danger last time in the office and still dared to harass Caden. It was no surprise that it pissed off the big boss of Eclipse Pack.

Wendy brought this upon herself. She had no one to blame but herself.
