CHAPTER 17: BRUCE ANDERSON IS COMATOSE

Leave the Anderson family?

Hilla Holt gripped the towel tighter. "We have to make Holt Corporation strong again."

Holt Corporation was not only their hope, but also their drive to move forward.

Halle Holt nodded with red-rimmed eyes.

She must divorce Titus Tyson for the Holt family and for herself.

But this would mean that her younger sister would have to suffer. She had to continue living together under a roof with a living corpse. Even though the Anderson family was kind to the sisters, kindness alone was not enough for the sisters to give up their entire lives for them.

Halle Holt looked at Bruce Anderson’s quiet figure on the bed. She was stunned, and she said in shock, "Hilla, h-he seemed to have moved..."

He moved?

Hilla Holt was stunned for a moment, but one second later, she quickly looked at the man on the bed.

Halle Holt ran over eagerly as well. "I saw him twitch his finger just now. I heard that comatose patients can actually hear the sounds around them. Did he hear our conversation just now?"

Would he wake up because of anger?

Halle Holt looked at Hilla Holt guiltily. She thought that if Bruce Anderson woke up, Hilla Holt would be happy, but she did not expect that her sister would frown and stand beside the bed to look at Bruce Anderson with a thought-provoking expression.

That expression seemed to be asking, ’Why did you wake up? You shouldn’t wake up! You should sleep forever!’

The second day Halle Holt spoke with her lawyer, the Tyson family received a divorce agreement.

Spring Watson looked at it before she tore it in anger. "Halle Holt, that wench, she actually hired Ethan Dalton as her lawyer. Does she think that once she hires a good lawyer, she will be able to negotiate with our family? She wants to split the wealth between you equally and fairly? And she’s even thinking about getting half of the Tyson family’s shares? She’s really dreaming."

Ethan Dalton was a famous and one of the best lawyers in New Island, and he was also the private lawyer for the Anderson family. Spring Watson was surprised that he would suddenly help Halle Holt with the case.

"If she wants a divorce, let her. It’s all thanks to Holt Corporation that the Tyson family arrived at its current state, anyway."

Titus Tyson looked at the torn-up divorce agreement on the floor with a complicated expression. Halle Holt had actually asked for a divorce on her own. She had always been a meek lamb in front of him and had never been so ruthless with him.

"Are you mad? We managed to get our current lives because we’re lucky. What does it have to do with her? She’s the one who refuses to give birth and hasn’t even left you with a child after your marriage. What right does she have to ask so much money from us?’

"Mum, Halle isn’t..."

Titus Tyson gritted his teeth. It was not that Halle Holt was infertile, it was because... he had never touched her. She was a woman who was never loved by her husband. How could she possibly give birth to his children?

Titus Tyson had never mentioned this. So, Spring Watson sighed and said, "I know that you pity the Holt family. Your heart went out for her, and so you said that you want to give her a house. But that’s not what she’s thinking. She wants half of the wealth of the Tyson family."

How ridiculous. Spring Watson stared at the shredded paper on the floor and found herself becoming angrier. She wanted the Tyson family’s money? Spring Watson would not agree to it even if she died.

"Sis, are you okay?!"

Hilla Holt watched Halle Holt as her face turned pale. She did not expect that Titus Tyson would have a lover outside, and that woman’s stomach bulged out considerably. She was already a few months pregnant.

Titus Tyson cheated!

Halle Holt held the picture in her hands and looked at Hilla Holt. In the end, her gaze landed on Ethan Dalton. "Mr. Dalton, now that I have proof that Titus Tyson has cheated on me, does it mean that I can split the wealth of the Tyson family?"

This time, she would not just get the money belonging to her, she would also get what the Holt family lost all those years in the past. She would make the Tyson family bankrupt.

...

"You might have proof that Mr. Tyson cheated, but we have also found that Titus Tyson has a debt worth two hundred million. Even if we manage to get proof that he is transferring assets, they might also ask you to shoulder the debt."

She did not know just how much money the Tyson family had, but she did know about the Tyson family’s debt!

Halle Holt was dazed. It was only now that she realized that she had completely lost that year. She was fully under the Tyson family’s hand.

They had already plotted everything a long time ago, including all the conflict and division of wealth during the divorce. It was a pity that she had been living a muddle-headed life all this while, and when the accident happened to the Holt family, she was more concerned with all that was happening with the Holt family, and she had allowed Titus Tyson to transfer the assets.

"I know about the debt. It’s... when something happened to the Tyson family. My mother-in-law asked me and Titus to go and get a loan from the bank. They said that this money will serve as Holt Corporation’s capital turnover."

But they had lied to her. Holt Corporation never received that money. But she had signed the document, and she and Titus Tyson had gone to the bank to loan the money on the spot. She could not deny that.

Hilla Holt was stunned. When this accident happened to the Holt family, these people had seized the chance to set Halle Holt up.

"Isn’t there any other way? They’ve already transferred a lot of assets, and he definitely doesn’t have just a two hundred million debt on him."

Ethan Dalton thought about it. "That might be the case, but you shouldn’t be able to get a lot of money out of it. What I would suggest is for you to negotiate with them."

She could bring proof that Titus Tyson had cheated on her and ask for compensation for their marriage!

There was a hint of hesitation on Halle Holt’s face. Hilla Holt looked at her and waited for her decision.

By the side, Orlenna Organa snorted and said, "They’re just a puny family, and they dare to oppress the Anderson family? Mr. Dalton, you’re supposed to be the best lawyer in New Island, but I don’t think you’re as great as people say you are. Since we haven’t gotten any court cases lately, have you been slacking off over the years?"

"Madam, what are you saying? The private matters of the lady’s family are just as important as the Anderson family’s. I will definitely do my best to save the lady and Ms. Holt’s reputation."

Hilla Holt stared at her mother-in-law in a daze. "Mother..."

"Hilla, remember this. You are the Anderson family’s daughter-in-law. Even if you don’t have Bruce around, as long as the Anderson family hasn’t fallen, you are still

the most privileged lady in New Island. You don’t have to lower your head to anyone."

Orlenna Organa spoke with an even tone, but those words struck Hilla Holt’s heart.

Even if the Holt family had been around, she had never lived such a willful life.

But the Anderson family was telling her that she could!

Orlenna Organa had always been gentle and considerate, but now, she gave off a domineering air as she stood up for her.

Hilla Holt stared at her mother-in- law with a look of admiration. Her eyes gradually turned red as she choked out the words, "Thank you, Mother."

The Anderson family gave her a form of love that she had never enjoyed in the first half of her life. Before she left the Anderson family, she would definitely take good care of Bruce Anderson.

Halle Holt did not expect this either. The Anderson family had already helped them by a huge degree by hiring Ethan Dalton for now. But now, was Orlenna Organa using the Anderson family to support her and Hilla Holt?

The Anderson family placed great value in Hilla Holt, and Halle Holt found herself feeling a little uncertain.

When the day came for the Holt family to rise to power again, would Hilla Holt still be willing to leave the Anderson family?

But when she thought of the person upstairs, Halle Holt had to reaffirm her resolution. She was the older sister, and she could not let her younger sister take care of a comatose patient for the rest of her life.

If she had known about this right from the beginning, she would not have allowed Hilla Holt to get married. Even if the Anderson family was indeed much more powerful than the Tyson family, that could not replace the fact that Bruce Anderson was a comatose patient who could only lay in bed and breathe.
