No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1152

As Faye drove, she glanced at her father in the rearview mirror, her heart swelling with intense anger and hatred for Vanessa. The way Vanessa had deceived their entire family, ultimately leading to the bankruptcy of Yeaton Holdings, was utterly unforgivable.

If only she had made it clear from the start that Ian was unreliable, her father wouldn't be in this mess. Even before the company went public, they had been comfortably well-off.

And the way Vanessa had paraded around, acting as if Ian were truly her boyfriend and future husband, was both disgusting and laughable.

In reality, Ian was only using her blood to save his mother, yet Vanessa had managed to put on such a convincing performance. But then, why did Ian end up divorcing Eleanor? After a moment's thought, a likely reason came to her. Given how infatuated Vanessa was with Ian, it was almost certain she would have tried to sabotage their marriage.

The fact that Ian gave Eleanor eighty billion in the divorce settlement proved that she must have been the one to file for it, forcing his hand. His willingness to give her the kids, the money, and all those resources could only mean he was still in love with her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have continued to pour money into her research after she joined the lab. The realization left Faye feeling deeply unsettled.

Just then, she heard her father on the phone in the back seat. "Contact my lawyer and my accountant immediately," he was saying. "I want to see all the documents for the bankruptcy filing by tomorrow morning."

Faye was startled. Was her father really going through with the bankruptcy filing?

"Dad, is there... is there really no other way?" Faye couldn't bear the thought of her family simply going bankrupt.

Roland's fierce emotion had vanished, replaced by the cool, calculated resolve of a businessman. His conversation with Vanessa had made it painfully clear that confronting Ian directly would be a disaster. In the business world, Ian wielded absolute power, and with his rumored connections to Kingston's political elite, any resistance was futile.

A short while later, Gavin Young called to give a more detailed update. "Mr. Goodwin, Roland assembled his team overnight and has officially begun bankruptcy proceedings. It seems he's trying to use the process to protect some of his personal assets."

"That's far enough," Ian said, his voice flat.

The bankruptcy of Yeaton Holdings had been his objective. Now that Roland had the sense to file for it himself, there was no need to waste any more energy on annihilating them completely.

Besides, as the chairman of The Guild of Commerce, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to be seen carrying out such a ruthless vendetta.
