Chapter 396 A Ruined Future
Two days later, Jane received a package.
“At a time like this, instead of thinking about how to solve things, you’re buying stuff.”
Arnold was in the living room having a conversation with William. Seeing Jane come downstairs to
collect the package, he couldn’t help but scold her.
Recently, incidents caused by Sara and Jane one after the other, severely damaged the Yoris family’s
decades–long good reputation.
What was even more crucial was that Byron and the Hansen family were holding grudges, targeting the
Yoris Group’s businesses, causing many of their previously confirmed major orders to fall through.
The orders that were currently sustaining the company’s operations were based on the long–standing
cooperation with clients, who had chosen not to terminate contracts for the time being.
But if the Yoris Group’s reputation didn’t turn around, there was a fear of even those old clients being
unable to be retained.

The Yoris Group’s business was not doing well, and Arnold feared that the century–old legacy might be
ruined. As a result, he became stricter in his demands on Jane.

“Grandpa, I didn’t buy anything. Why do you always say I’m at fault for everything?”
Didn’t buy anything? Then what’s in your hand?”
William was displeased with his daughter’s defiance towards Arnold, so he scolded her as well.
“I don’t know. I’ve never bought anything online.”
Jane was also puzzled, but on the delivery receipt, her name and phone number were indeed written.
After hesitating for a moment, Jane opened the package but was startled and quickly threw the
contents away. She ran to Arnold’s side to seek shelter.
“What’s wrong?”
“What scares you like this?”
Despite both men scolding Jane, she was, after all, the beloved treasure they had doted on for over
twenty years.
Seeing how frightened she was, Arnold quickly hugged Jane while William swiftly stepped forward to
examine the package.
He was indeed startled by what he saw.
Because inside the package was the almost mutilated body of a dead rat, accompanied by a chilling
message written in blood: [Jane, you will end up just like this rat!]
“Quickly take these things outside and burn them, then clean up this place. Disinfect the entire
mansion.”
William quickly came to his senses and promptly asked the butler to handle the delivery.
But as soon as the house was disinfected, the doorbell rang again.
“Miss Yoris‘ delivery again?”
The butler was clearly scared by the dead rat earlier, and now he was also reluctant to handle the
delivery.
“Why won’t these people stop? It’s clear that Cora stole my fiancé first, so why are they treating me like
this?”
Jane’s emotions were getting out of control. She knew that this was the result of those people on the
Internet venting their anger on behalf of Cora.

Arnold also sighed repeatedly.
In the end, William stepped forward and said, “Give it to me. I want to see what other tricks they have
up their sleeves.”

“It’s not a prank, but obviously worse than a prank. Byron has also filed a lawsuit against you.”
After hearing this, Jane was once again stunned and taken aback.
“Byron filed a lawsuit against me? All for the sake of Cora?”
“Yes, and that’s not the most challenging part. I heard that he used his connections to set up an online
bullying investigation team in Kinton, and it’s likely to come to New York in a few days.”
That was also why William returned home in daylight to discuss countermeasures with Arnold.
“Once the investigation team arrives, they could revoke Jane’s medical license at the very least. And in
the worst–case scenario, she might end up spending several years behind bars.”
As soon as William said those words, Jane’s legs gave out, and she fell to the ground.
“Don’t worry too much. Your grandpa and I will do our best to help you obtain Cora’s letter of
forgiveness and reduce the punishment to the minimum.”
Seeing her sitting on the ground, pale–faced and distressed, William couldn’t help but console her.
Arnold also said, “Even if you can no longer work as a cardiac surgeon in the future, you can explore
other fields. I know an experienced traditional medicine practitioner who is currently looking for
apprentices in New York. I’ll introduce you to him in a couple of days…”
Despite all the comforting words, Jane couldn’t listen to a single word.
She only wanted to get back at Cora. But she never thought she would jeopardize her promising future
in the process…
