Chapter 156 What Happened?
“Mm–hmm.”
Lawson didn’t even say goodnight to her, closed the car door, made a U–turn, and in the blink of an eye, sped away.
Stephanie swallowed a face full of exhaust fumes, clutched her bag tightly, and turned back to the villa.
The lights in the villa were brightly lit.
Nobody had rested.
She put her bag in the foyer and said. “I’m back.”
Originally, I wanted to tell Leann about her encounter with Myrna at the hotel today. However, as soon as I entered, I felt an extremely oppressive atmosphere in the living room.
Her dad, her mom, and her grandma were all there.
Many things on the ground were smashed.
The auntie hired by the family was holding her breath and swiftly sweeping with a broom.
Her heart skipped a beat, a sense of unease rising within her. She walked in, asking anxiously, “Mom, what happened? What’s wrong with Dad…”
Luther’s eyes were bloodshot, he was holding his head, his suit was wrinkled and worn on his body, and his usually well–groomed hair was also messy, he was extremely decadent.

She had never seen her dad like this before.
Feeling scared and nervous inside, “Has there been a problem with the company?”
What could possibly go wrong with the company? They have the Taylor Group backing them up. Even if there were minor issues, as long as the Taylor Group doesn’t fall, they can still make money steadily!
Haven’t these past few years been like this?
Leann didn’t have her usual haughty, ladylike demeanor this time. For the first time, she looked flustered, her gaze scattered, her throat tight as she said to Stephie, “The family business, the company… it might be in trouble.”
Stephanie’s heart kept sinking, yet she managed to squeeze out a smile, “How could this be?”
“Our company was doing well before, we even signed a big project with the Taylor Group. They entrusted us with their newly opened cinema in Melcester. As long as we had this project, our performance target for this year would have been met.”
They were making a sure profit without any loss.
Every time they won the bid for the Taylor Group, they made a fortune.
Because the Taylor Group always offered them the highest prices, they basically turned a blind eye to them as long as they didn’t go too far in terms of quality.
Once, they used a batch of substandard steel which was detected during the quality inspection at the acceptance check.
They thought they were doomed.

Not only did I have to pay compensation, but I also couldn’t cooperate with the Taylor Group anymore.
As a result, not only did the Taylor Group not make them pay, but they also paid for the subsequent demolition and reconstruction themselves.
Since then, the industry knew that the Taylor Group had an unusual relationship with them, and that the Taylor Group was the backing of Stark Realty.
Some people were speculating whether the CEO of the Taylor Group had an inappropriate relationship with her father.
Only she knew.
Their family had hardly ever met the senior management of the Taylor Group in private. It was usually the secretary who had the most contact with them, and any matters were conveyed to them by a secretary named Stanley..
Even so, the Taylor Group was inexplicably good to them.
Good ones came, many companies were envious, they tried to use various connections to poach but failed.
With the support of the Taylor Group, they had also gone public and thrived in Melcester over the past few years.
If it hadn’t been for this, Celia wouldn’t have tacitly allowed her to date Lawson, given the status of the Cooper family.
Without the company, she had nothing.
Stephanie’s heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out. She urgently asked Leann for confirmation, “Mom, you’re not lying to me, are you? If the company is in trouble, we can go to the Taylor Group. We have such a good relationship with them, they will
