TimeNovel---- Chapter 806 "You ended up in the hospital and didn't even tell us?" Miranda scolded. "Tjust didn't want you
guys to worry about me," James replied. Hailey said, "Dad, just tell us what happened." James' expression turned
serious as he said, "Hailey... there's trouble with Lambert Group." "But isn't everything going fine? What do you
mean?" Hailey asked. "A few days ago, we began a major project with a foreign corporation . Everything had
already kicked off. But then, a worker on site fell and was seriously injured-he fractured his leg and is now
hospitalized.
"| told the company to send a team to offer compensation and support, but his family refused to meet with
anyone. Instead, they took the matter public. The scandal is all over the media now. Our reputation has taken a
serious hit. "The stock's been plummeting. And that foreign partner? They're thinking about pulling out. If they
terminate the deal, our capital will be locked in. Once the cash flow dries up, Lambert Group will collapse." Hailey
felt her heart sink. She hadn't realized just how close Lambert Group was to falling apart. ---- "T've tried several
times to meet with the worker.
| was ready to meet any of his demands, whatever they were. But | couldn't even get near him. Then today,
when | went to the hospital again, his six sons showed up. The eldest walked right up and smashed a brick into
my head," James explained. Miranda's expression darkened with anger. "What kind of unreasonable people do
something like that? The construction site was legally operated , and we adhered to all safety protocols. All the
workers were insured.

name-and they assaulted you on top of that? These people sound like thugs." James nodded. "They are. The
entire family's covered in tattoos. They're clearly tied to gangs!" Hailey felt her heart sink even further.
Something didn't feel right-this wasn't just bad luck. It was too precise , too well-timed. Someone had set a trap,
aiming straight at James and Lambert Group.
Aconstruction accident, a thug family causing public chaos, and now the company's reputation in ruins-all of it
unfolding right as they were finalizing a high-profile international deal. It was impossible that this was a
coincidence. It had to be calculated. "Dad, | think someone's behind this," Hailey said. ---- James nodded. "Hailey,
I've been thinking the same. Someone's coming after us-and they're not playing around." Miranda was taken
aback. "Who would dare? We're not exactly easy targets in this city. Whoever's doing this must have serious
resources-and guts." She was right.
Not many people in Kinthorne had that kind of reach or audacity. Hailey already had a nin mind. "Dad, Mom,
| need to step out for a minute." She walked briskly out of the ward and pulled out her phone, dialing someone's
number. The ringing lasted just one chbefore it was picked up. The voice on the other end was smooth and
slow as they said, " Hailey, | didn't expect you to call this soon." Furious, Hailey gripped her phone tightly.
"Ewan!" She knew it! It was Ewan's doing! "Ewan, are you behind all this? Why would you do something, like
this?" Hailey asked angrily. Ewan chuckled.
