The Conglomerate's Hidden Legacy

Chapter 5: Lost Everything

Bianca's words were like a nightmare for Zayn. In just one night, all the achievements he was proud of would be gone. Zayn watched his wife leave with a swagger.

Without waiting any longer, Zayn immediately took care of all the documents for his release permit and then left for his startup company in an online taxi car.

Zayn defended his marriage to get back at Bianca and the Brown family. That woman had taken a lot from Zayn in one day, so Zayn didn't want Bianca to be happy with her affair. Their marriage must go on no matter what.

But unfortunately, Zayn doesn't realise that a woman like Bianca is quite cunning in pursuing her desires. Zayn is in debt because his business project failed. After all, Bianca stole the company's data and gave it to Zayn's business competitor, Benjamin.

While Zayn is still looking for a solution to save his startup company, he is involved in an accident and sleeps in prison. The mobile phone that became a means of communication could not function because the police detained all of Zayn's belongings. At this critical moment, the company, through the finance team, had to decide, and Bianca seized the opportunity to destroy Zayn again.

"You're such a cunt, Bianca!" muttered Zayn as he switched on his mobile phone and saw the notification on the screen.

Zayn discovered that Bianca agreed to auction and sell Zayn's startup company cheaply to pay for the loss of T-serum's biomedical project.

Arriving at the startup company, Zayn, who got off the online taxi, found several officers trying to close his office. Zayn, who looked panicked, immediately approached them to try and stop them.

"Mr Hayes, listen to me. All transaction processes have been completed. You can't complain because, according to the documents, you have agreed to this."

"What! When did I agree to that? There is a misunderstanding here. The whole transaction process was done without my knowledge."

Seeing Zayn rambling furiously, his employees in the lobby glanced at their boss with contemptuous looks. Some of them even started gossiping about Zayn.

One of the secretaries approached Zayn, "Mr Hayes, all the transactions have occurred. I'm sorry, but I don't think you can cancel it. Mrs Bianca Hayes is representing you in every deal that is signed."

Zayn completely fainted and lost all his strength when he heard that. Now, it was all over for him to fulfil his dream.

"Mr Hayes, there is one more thing you should know. Since the company's sale fee does not cover the entire cost of operating expenses to the employees' salaries, all of your assets are also disbursed to pay all the bills."

"What! Why did you do that?" Zayn asked with his mouth open; he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"I'm sorry, sir, but your wife..."

Zayn, who heard his wife's name mentioned, could clearly understand that she was the mastermind behind everything. Not only did Bianca make Zayn lose his job by selling and bankrupting the company, but she also directly impoverished Zayn on purpose.

"I think your boss is crazy. We're just doing our job, and he's trying to stop us while his wife has delegated all the decisions," the officer who tried to close Zayn's office made a scathing comment that was agreed upon by all of Zayn's employees who were gossiping in the lobby.

Zayn, who had lost everything, tried to brace himself. He believed that he could restore himself to his former glory. Therefore, when all the employees seemed to be leaving the office for good, Zayn tried to reassure them.

"We may have lost this company. But you have to believe that we can rebuild this company very shortly again," Zayn spoke with ambition as if he didn't accept giving up.

"Stupid man!"

"What an idiot!"

Zayn's employees nonchalantly hurled insults at Zayn. They didn't even feel ashamed to insult their boss in front of everyone.

"Do you think we'd want to work with someone like you again?"

"Our salaries this month aren't even paid in full, along with the allowances promised at the beginning. You can't even manage the company well enough to go bankrupt."

"A poor man like you should look in the mirror. You're dreaming too high. If you want our trust, then please pay us properly."

That sentence was another slap in the face for Zayn. Now, the man also had to lose all his workers. The bad clouds seemed to circle Zayn relentlessly.

But Zayn still seemed determined to stay inside his office. Because it was no longer his, the officers were forced to drag Zayn and throw him onto the street. Some pedestrians even looked at Zayn contemptuously, and some immediately sneered at him.

Now, the man looked like a hobo. Zayn's clothes also looked shabby, and he hadn't even had time to bathe or fill his stomach with food.

RING!

Zayn's mobile phone rang. The man found an unknown number and immediately picked it up.

"Hello, Mr Hayes, we're from the car dealership. I just wanted to let you know that your car in the workshop has been officially pawned, and the money has been disbursed into a special account.

"Huh? When did that happen?" Zayn was confused because the car he was wearing was being taken to the garage after the previous accident, and he remembered clearly that he had not asked to sell his expensive car at all.

"You emailed us this morning and signed every document online." The woman on the call clearly explained the details.

Zayn quickly checked his email on his mobile phone and found out that everything the woman said on the phone was true. Zayn couldn't believe it and still wondered how it could have happened. But a second later, the man remembered that he left his laptop at home, and Bianca must have accessed it.

Now, Zayn clearly understood why all the transactions could occur. Bianca had misused all of Zayn's data on the laptop at home, making it appear that Zayn had done it personally.

"Sir, are you still on this call? Sir, remember you have three months to redeem the car, and if you don't..." Zayn did not respond to the woman and immediately switched off the call.

The man immediately checked where the money went because Zayn's account data showed that the number listed was only 0.

Zayn screamed so loud, cascading like a madman on the roadside. It caused a reaction from many people. Zayn discovered in his bank statement that his car pawn money was used to pay court fines and charges.

Amid Zayn's desperation, which already looked stressful, a call came to his mobile phone. Again, the call came from an unknown number.

Emotionally, Zayn picked it up, "I told you, yes, no problem. I'll pay for the car if I have the money. Please don't keep contacting me."

"Huh? Car? Sorry, sir, I think you've got the wrong person. Mr Hayes, I'm calling to inform you that a woman was involved in an accident last night, and the police investigation revealed that the woman in a coma in this hospital is your mother."
