Chapter 45 Lose Everything
In the end, Anna was escorted all the way to the outside of Emperor Hotel by the bodyguards, and there were already police cars waiting at the hotel entrance. Anna was taken out and directly put into the police car. What would follow was a series of investigations.
This included finding out whether there were any illegal activities during her tenure as Hendrick’s secretary.
As for that recording, Sadler Group and Lana naturally tried their best to explain that they had nothing to do with it, saying that voices could be faked. They even produced an employee of Sadler Group whose voice was almost identical to Lana’s.
Although Lana removed herself from this matter, the reputation of Sadler Group plummeted in
an instant.
In just one night, Sadler Group was hit with two scandals.
First, Lana, the arrogant and domineering young lady of Sadler Group, tried to attack Kate, the young lady of Lowe Group, inside Emperor Hotel, but ended up being beaten back and thrown out by the staff of Emperor Hotel. Then, Sadler Group’s employee threatened and used Anna, Hendrick’s secretary, to secretly transfer the assets of Lowe Group, tarnishing the reputation of Lowe Group …
Lana deeply experienced the taste of losing everything this time.
“You’re useless!”
In a private room at Emperor Hotel, Scott Sadler slapped Lana’s face hard, causing her to cry with her hands covering her face. The slap mark on her face became more prominent.
First, she was slapped by Kate, and now by her own father. Lana was about to explode!
But Scott was livid as well.
He was in the middle of discussing a collaboration with overseas investors when suddenly their attitude changed, and they decisively rejected the cooperation with Sadler Group, bluntly stating that Sadler Group was not worthy. Before Scott could react, he received a series of messages.
All of them were related to Lana! This time, Sadler Group had truly made the headlines.
Looking at Lana with disappointment and anger, Scott was unable to contain his fury. “Why did you provoke Kate? Wasn’t the previous lesson enough?”
Lana, still covering her face, retorted unwillingly, “Kate is just a trophy wife! This must be what Eric’s doing behind the scenes. I bet Kate couldn’t come up with such a meticulous plan!”
Thinking carefully now, she felt she must have fallen into Kate’s trap. Otherwise, how could things have coincidentally turned out this way?

scapegoat within Sadler Group to take all the blame and protect Lana. However, the stock price of Sadler Group was probably not going to recover anytime soon.
“Hmph, you knew that Eric was behind Kate, yet you still dared to go against her? Are you trying to make Sadler Group go bankrupt? How dare you provoke that lunatic, Eric!”
Lana looked at his father defiantly, and retorted without hesitation. “Dad, haven’t you heard that Kate and Eric don’t get along? They are just putting on a show for others. Eric won’t come after us
for Kate.
“By the way, I have another way in
Lana lowered her voice and whispered a few words in Scott’s ear. Scott’s expression improved, and he coldly snorted, “You’d better be right about that!”
Meanwhile, Kate and Hendrick were sitting in a room on the sixteenth floor. Kate looked nervously at Hendrick. “Hendrick, are you feeling unwell? What did Anna give you?”
Hendrick smiled bitterly and then looked at Kate gently. “It’s all thanks to your reminder. Otherwise, I might not have escaped…”
Although Hendrick had a high tolerance for alcohol, he could not survive a spiked drink. Despite this, he remained vigilant and made sure to only consume drinks that he had poured himself, avoiding the communal wine and discreetly disposing of it.
