At the John family's old mansion.

The John family were gathered here at this very time.

The Listening's situation kept getting worse, which led to a sharp decline in the John family's shares. This made the John family quite nervous about this, but they didn't know what to do.

"Hillmountain,you said you were going to figure things out, right?"

"Has the issue been fixed? Why are things still like this?" Benjamin Mendoza asked.

"Yes, I've taken care of it. We'll soon be working with Kenneth Scott again, and The Listening will soon get better. All it takes is some time, so why are you so anxious?"

Speaking slowly yet confidently, Hillmountain took a drink of her tea while maintaining a composed expression.

She had paid a price with her own body, and Dylan Ward intervened.She did not believe that the Kenneth Scott would stubbornly cut off cooperation with The Listening.

The John family was glad to see Hillmountain's attitude as well.

Just then, Hillmountain's secretary abruptly announced to her as she walked over holding a phone, "Zachary, something bad happened! This morning, we received calls from a large number of companies asking to end cooperation with us,along with all of the John Group's firms! Moreover, some of our long-time partners are even ready to pay hefty fines rather than continue working with us! What do we do,Zachary?"

"What?! How's this possible?" Hillmountain abruptly sprang to her feet,her face turning pale.

"It appears... that the Kenneth Scott is to blame! I heard them announce that John Group must perish. Our partners stated that dealing with a bankrupt company is unnecessary. Zachary, I... I want to quit as well." With nervousness, the young secretary murmured.

Hillmountain's body trembled, her face going pale as she nearly lost her

balance.

How is this possible?

At the time, Redsprings and Dylan Ward promised to assist her; why hasn't the situation changed since then? Rather, it dragged the entire John Group in.

"What's going on, Hillmountain? You said you handled it, so why did this happen?"

"I don't believe you fixed it; you just made it worse!"

"Hillmountain, what have you done? Are you trying to ruin the John family?”

After a while, one angry John family member after another reproached Hillmountain.

"I... I really don't know..." Biting her lip, Hillmountain was deeply hurt.

It was obvious she had paid a physical price,so why?

"Hillmountain, The Listening is in such terrible shape, and you just sit around doing nothing."

At that time, Ella went forward and said coldly. She was viewed as a half-John, and Hill Park's repression had affected her greatly as well.

"It didn't matter who you begged or pursued; everything you did was useless. Westfield is the only person you can beg now.If you don't do it, there'll be no way out."

She was no longer receiving funding from the company,and if things kept up this way, she would soon find herself as a sidelined artist!

"What is Hillmountain even doing? I told you to beg Westfield, didn't I? Did you simply disregard what I said? Make a quick phone call to him and give him a sincere apology! Plead him to spare our family!If not, you can leave the family as soon as possible! Both you and your mother aren't permitted to enter the ancestral hall!"

Keith Hughes gave an angry warning, his rage unrivaled.

"What?!"

At this, Hillmountain and Ridgemountain shuddered

Will they actually expel the two of them from the John household?

In addition to losing their job and becoming homeless if they were actually banished, they would also lose respect and turn into Meadow Park's laughingstock!

"Don't, please! I'lI have Hillmountain apologize right now!" In a panic,Ridgemountain grabbed Hillmountain and told her, "Hillmountain, get moving and contact Westfield right away! Ask him forgive us! Otherwise,what will we do if John Group files for bankruptcy?"

"I've already begged him, and it didn't work, He refuses to help us since he has a strong grudge with our family!"

Her eyes reddening, Hillmountain bit her lip.

Had Westfield been willing to help her, would she have given up her innocence?

Furthermore, forcing her to apologize to Westfield in front of so many John family members was more humiliating than death!

"We have to do it, whether it works or not." Keith Hughes stated coldly, "Christiant's the only way our family, especially you two,can survive."

"Our John family, especially you two, will publicly apologize and self-reflect in front of Westfield when I welcome him here. I'm going to give him a call and invite him over!"

Afterward, Keith Hughes gave Ridgemountain and Hillmountain a stern look,his tone leaving no room for speculation. He picked up the phone and gave Westfield a call right away.

When Westfield saw who was calling, he thought for a second before responding, "What's the matter?"

"This is the thing, Mr. Jeremy. We, the John family, would like you over for dinner, Is that alright?" Robertory Rogers voice carried slight flattery.

Westfield didn't say anything, rémaining silent.

He had no desire to rekindle relations with the John family or go back in time.

Keith Hughes immediately spoke up after seeing Westfield's silence,saying, "Mr. Jeremy, you suffered a lot of misery and ridicule from us in the past. I'm aware of everything. Looking back,we regret it so much. Christiant's why we'd like you to come over so that we may personally apologize to you. If not, we won't be able to find inner peace."

"No need, I don't want to go," Westfield refused.

He was aware of the John family's nature. They never gave him an opportunity to make amends over the years, so it was strange that they suddenly felt the need to apologize.

He had absolutely no interest in going now, even if they were sincere.

"Oh. I understand, Mr. Jeremy. I bet you're still blaming Hillmountain,but she had her reasons before divorcing you. She did everything for the sake of protecting our family!"

"Due to our recent financial crisis, Hillmountain sacrificed herself to draw the attention of a few affluent young men so that they'd get closed to her and invest in our family. We are all to blame for it!" Sighing deeply, Keith Hughes continued, "She also felt guilty and heartbroken after divorcing you. She's been crying at home.showing regret about her choice to file for divorce. Please come over. If not,I'm worried Hillmountain might take drastic measures!"

Keith Hughes spoke in a very genuine tone, as though he were telling the truth.

"What? Is that true?" The words made Westfield's previously sinking heart tremble.

And she was remorseful over this?

Keith Hughes replied, "Yes, it's true. If you come, she'll explain everything to you!",

"Well, Autumnheights be there." Westfield let out a sigh. Even hearing these lies made his heart ache, even though he knew that these statements were probably lies.

Even after spending three years together day and night, he was unable to let go of that woman.

After some time, Westfield reached the John family's luxurious estate.

"Mr. Jeremy, you've arrived!"

Keith Hughes looked at Westfield, grinning quickly as he stepped up to greet. The rest of the John family gathered around as well,smiling and acting nicely.

Upon seeing this situation, Westfield couldn't help but feel a little ironic. In the past, these people would only cruelly mock and abuse him whenever he stepped foot on their estate. It was already a

miracle if they didn't drive him away. When did he ever see such a friendly scene?
