Chapter 404

“What? You said that someone came to investigate the taxes. What is this?” When Elder Hill heard this, he really couldn’t sit still.

For a large family like his, which family’s accounts were what were really clear. Tax evasion and tax crimes were sometimes small matters. What was more serious was that these families that were connected to the underworld, such things as money laundering were also common occurrences. This was especially true for the Hill family.

Elder Hill had always been very ambitious, and his tastes had always been very unorthodox. Therefore, under the temptation of huge profits, Elder Hill had often done things that exceeded the limits of the law. Moreover, the Hill family had people on their side, therefore, Elder Hill was even more unscrupulous.

“Yes, those people suddenly rushed in just now. They caught us off guard. We didn’t even have time to make any moves before they showed us the search warrant to stop us. We could only watch helplessly as they took away all the important information in the company.” The expression on Elder Hill’s eldest son’s face was even uglier than crying.

After hearing his son’s words, Elder Hill calmed down after a while. He picked up the phone and called a high-ranking official who was in contact with the Hill family to ask what had happened. However, Elder Hill kept calling and calling, but no one answered.

This made Elder Hill’s heart sink.

Elder Hill held the receiver and was stunned for a while before he pressed George’s contact number.

George was quite angry. “Hello, speak quickly if you have something to say.”

“George, it’s me. Something has happened to the Hill family’s company, can you...” Elder Hill was interrupted by George halfway through his sentence.

“Elder Hill, something has happened to the Kronbo family too. I don’t have the energy to care about your Hill family’s matters right now. How about this, our cooperation will end now. We should take care of our own matters right now.” He couldn’t even protect himself right now, so how could he have the time to care about the Hill family’s matters? Moreover, the Hill family’s matters were much more troublesome than the Kronbo family’s matters. He didn’t want to interfere in this matter. Who knows, if he interfered, the Kronbo family might suffer.

Elder Hill could only hang up the phone embarrassedly. Elder Hill’s eldest son looked at his father’s ugly expression and knew that this matter was really difficult to handle. The Hill family might not be able to cross this hurdle this time.

And it really was a double disaster. Originally, Snow Hill’s heart was set on becoming Yuwen Jing’s wife, the mistress of the Buyano family. But unexpectedly, on the night of Yuwen Jing’s inheritance ceremony, her hopes were shattered.

It wasn’t just her hopes of becoming Yuwen Jing’s wife that were shattered. The day after she was forcibly brought home, Snow Hill was told by her grandfather that she was going to marry George and become the mistress of the Kronbo family.

This was also a mistress position, but it wasn’t what Snow Hill wanted as the result. She did not want to marry George, who was old enough to be her father. So, Snow Hill began to rebel against her grandfather. She also cried for her grandfather to change his decision.

However, she did not get the result she wanted. Instead, she was locked up.

And today, Snow’s mother, who felt sorry for her daughter, let her out. While everyone was busy, she sneaked into the room and let her daughter out.

The first thing Snow Hill did after escaping from the Hill family was to run to the Kronbo family to find George. The only thought in her mind was that she wanted to find George and make it clear that she didn’t want to marry him. She wanted to break off the engagement with him.
