Ethan still standing a few feet away, arms folded, a faint smirk playing on his lips.
He was busy enjoying the outburst however still he wasn't satisfied with everything that is happening, although he wanted everything to slow so it would hit hard when they finally realized it would be too late to cry.
However since he couldn't keep his mouth shut he decided to speak.
"I'd suggest you check the news, to confirm if truly the call was a fake or not." he said coolly, his voice cutting through the rising tension. "If you value your business and reputation, that is. But you might want to hurry. Once it's too late, even Mr. Brown won't be able to salvage the deal."
Upon hearing what Ethan just said.
The York family exchanged uneasy glances, their confidence visibly shaken.
For some reason they couldn't see some sense in what he just said.
However old Master york still couldn't get his head around everything, some minutes ago everything was going on fine with the family and the company, now it seems that are walking on a line which might cut any moment.
And if that happens he knew what was going next bankruptcy, since that silver has decided to end everything with them, the godly investor proposal was their only lifeline.
However it seems that lifeline is not the verge of collapsing.
On the other hand serenity father was just standing, he took couldn't say anything.
He didn't know anything about the Godly Investor and how the contract came about, however one thing he knows and it's important in the survivor of the family was how important the contract is to them, losing it means going back to Square one.
At that moment Serenity's uncle fumbled with his phone, his fingers trembling as he pulled up the latest news feed.
Immediately the others huddled around him, craning their necks to get a glimpse of the screen.
At that moment the headline hit them like a hammer: Godly Investor Withdraws Support for York Family Project Due to Mistrust. Beneath it were detailed allegations about mismanagement and lack of transparency, painting a damning picture of their dealings.

Mr. Brown's face turned pale as he ended the call, his hands trembling slightly. He glanced at the York family, who were waiting anxiously for an explanation.
"It's true,"he said, his voice wavering.
"The godly investor... he's angry with the York family. That's why he's pulled back from the deal."
Immediately gasps filled the air as the weight of the news settled on everyone. Serenity's uncle stepped forward, his face a mixture of panic and hope.
"Mr. Brown, you have to help us," he pleaded. "Surely, you can fix this. The Godly investor takes your advice, doesn't he?"
At that moment Mr. Brown hesitated, his eyes narrowing as he saw another opportunity to gain something for himself if he plays his card right.
Then He cleared his throat, putting on an air of authority.
"There's a way," he said slowly, as though he were contemplating something profound. "But it's not simple. The godly investor values connections and personal relationships... someone needs to step up and bridge that gap."
Immediately the family nodded eagerly, hanging on to every word. At that moment Mr. Brown turned his attention to Serenity, his gaze lingering a moment too long. "I've heard that Serenity was a bit of a prodigy back in the day," he continued smoothly. "Perhaps if I were to spend some time with her—share a few insights, exchange business strategies—it might give me the leverage to appeal to the godly investor on your behalf."
The implication was clear, and Serenity's face flushed with discomfort. Her uncle, however, picked up on the hint immediately and clapped his hands together. "Done!" he exclaimed.
"Serenity, you'll accompany Mr. Brown. Learn all you can from him—this is for the good of the family."
At that moment Serenity's jaw tightened, but she didn't say a word. Her eyes darted to Ethan, who was watching the entire exchange in silence, his expression unreadable. The tension in the air was palpable.
However since nobody was ready to say anything or serenity fight for herself.
Ethan's patience finally snapped. Without a word, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, his fingers moving swiftly across the screen.
