Chapter 215 Fallout

If he hadn’t sworn to them, and if Yvonne hadn’t been a Ph.D. student at Northville University, they never would have fallen for their lies.
The winner turned out to be the very small company they despised. One minute they were canceling their contracts, and the next, that same company was a hot commodity. It was infuriating.
Now, Xander Corp’s stock price had dropped several points, making Jared so furious he snapped a pen in half right there.
The calls demanding to cancel partnerships were still rolling in, plunging the already unstable Xander Corp into further chaos.
No one had expected such a massive reversal. And now that the video of Yvonne and Chase causing a scene at Cloud University was online, the comments section was a tidal wave of criticism, giving Jared a splitting headache.
Jared called Chase. He closed his eyes and asked through gritted teeth, “Chase, what the hell were you doing at Cloud University today?”
That idiot. He was always causing trouble. Now that this had blown up, the Xander family was going to be ruined by these two fools. The thought was agonizing. Today’s events, one after another, had put Xander Corp in a desperate situation.
Jared’s fury startled Chase. His voice trembled as he tried to explain, “I just wanted to teach Tracy a lesson. She was bullying Yvonne, I…”
He was still at the hospital. Yvonne hadn’t woken up, and Faye hadn’t arrived yet, so he couldn’t leave.
“Idiot,” Jared cut him off. “You made a big spectacle, invited everyone to watch the drama, and what was the result? You made a fool of yourself and dragged the company down with you. Do you have any idea that because of what you two morons did, the company is now in dire straits? Can’t you use your brain before you act? This is just great. You didn’t teach Tracy a lesson; you handed her a victory.”
He closed his eyes, his head throbbing. He hadn’t expected this outcome either. In the past, no matter what trouble his brother caused, as long as it didn’t cross his desk, he could turn a blind eye. This wasn’t the first or second time his brother had bullied Tracy, and it had never mattered before.
But this time, he had blown things up at a national-level department. Hadn’t their stunt completely destroyed any chance of collaborating with that department? At that thought, Jared wished he could beat Chase senseless. He was so brainless.

Chase was baffled. He asked tentatively, “What happened? Why are you so angry? I’m at the hospital. Yvonne fainted, and she still hasn’t woken up. I can’t leave.”
At the mention of Yvonne, Jared’s headache intensified. If Yvonne hadn’t, in ways both subtle and direct, implied that she was guaranteed to win first place, they never would have been so high-profile. They had boasted so loudly, thinking it was a sure bet.
But now they had been humiliated. Their partners were demanding to cancel and be compensated for their losses. And Xander Corp’s stock was still falling. The losses were incalculable. And it seemed the source of it all was Yvonne.
He suddenly remembered Tracy’s warnings, which Yvonne had brushed aside. But once a seed of doubt is planted, it begins to grow. This was definitely not a coincidence.
“The moment Yvonne wakes up, you get back to the company. I need to talk to you.”
Hospital
When Faye arrived at the hospital, Yvonne had just woken up. Faye had also brought a package that had been anonymously mailed to Yvonne earlier that day.
Seeing that Yvonne was fine, Chase left for the company. He didn’t dare defy Jared’s order.
After Chase left, Yvonne’s face turned cold. She began to cry to Faye. “Mom, Tracy completely humiliated me today. I can’t let this go. She did it on purpose! She let us lower our guard so she could make us look this pathetic. She’s always been beneath me. What right does she have to walk all over me now?”
The more she thought, the angrier she became. She had worked so hard, only to be beaten by the one person she despised. Why? Tracy didn’t know anything, yet she had taken first place. They had gone there to embarrass Tracy and confirm her cheating. They never expected to be the ones humiliated. Not only had they failed to destroy Tracy, but they had also lost all face.
Faye handed the package to Yvonne and consoled her. “Yvonne, don’t worry. I will help you find a way to deal with Tracy. I won’t let her get away with this.”
Yvonne tore open the package. When she saw the documents inside, her eyes went wide. The papers slipped from her hand and fell to the floor.
Faye bent down to pick them up. “Yvonne,” she asked, confused, “what’s wrong?”
