Mommy,We Got a Husband -
Chapter 208 A Storm Is Brewing
Orion just watched helplessly as the police took away Griffon.
Although Griffon was calm and had told her before that neither the police nor Alaric would find any substantial evidence, Griffon was still taken away by the police. How could Orion remain calm?
In a state of panic, Orion had no choice but to call Cormac. He was at the hospital because Ravenna's condition had worsened, and she had been rushed to the emergency room again. And then Ravenna had just come out of the emergency
room.
Ravenna had been semi-conscious and mumbling before, but now she had slipped into a deep coma, which made Cormac extremely worried. When he saw Orion's call, Cormac could guess what it was about. Orion shouted, "Cormac, Dad was taken away by the police. You have to think of something. You have to save Dad!"
On the other end of the line, Orion was crying uncontrollably. "Even though you and Dad have had your differences and misunderstandings, you are still father and son. Cormac, you can't just let Dad go." How could he save him? Ravenna's condition was still critical, and now Griffon had been taken away by the police. It was really adding insult to injury. Cormac felt completely overwhelmed. Cormac refused, "I can't do anything about it. Let the police handle it." He couldn't even take care of Ravenna right now, so how could he help Griffon? Besides, he really had no way.
Orion cried, "Cormac, you can't just ignore it. He's still our dad. You can't just leave him in the lurch."
"I'm not leaving him in the lurch; I really can't do anything." As soon as Cormac finished saying this, a nurse came in with a medical cart to give an injection. "Alright, let's leave it at that for now." After Orion was hung up on, she could only continue crying helplessly. She was actually blaming Cormac in her heart, but she had no idea what to do.
Cormac felt the same way. He was truly overwhelmed and felt particularly helpless and powerless.
"Doctor, how is my mom's condition?" After the nurse treated Ravenna, Cormac hurriedly asked the doctor.
Hearing this question, the doctor frowned and replied, "Not very optimistic. The cancer cells show signs of spreading, and the patient has been in a coma. You should be prepared for the worst." Cormac's body went limp. The doctor's words were like a death sentence for Ravenna. After the doctor left, Cormac sat down by the bed and held Ravenna's hand.
"Mom, can you hear me?" Cormac's eyes slowly filled with tears, and the pain he had been suppressing in his heart became clearer. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I've been selfish and throwing tantrums, and I haven't been able to be by your side all these years. I'm sorry."
Cormac was now filled with deep regret. He shouldn't have left home for so many years. Even if he was angry with Griffon, he shouldn't have ignored Ravenna.
If he had stayed by Ravenna's side, none of this would have happened. At the very least, Ravenna wouldn't have been so angry.
All the bad things Griffon did reflected on the Nash family. It was truly karma!
Cormac had been staying at the hospital with Ravenna for the past few days, barely eating or drinking. With Griffon taken away by the police, Orion was nervous and hadn't come to the hospital.
Griffon's arrest by the police caused a huge uproar. After all, the Nash family was a leading company in the entertainment industry, and any incident naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"Top star Orion's father, the entertainment mogul Griffon, was arrested by police for allegedly hiring a hitman. The case is under further investigation."
"Netizens collectively boycott Orion, refusing to let a tainted artist appear in public!"
"Nash Group's stock plummets!"
There were countless sensational and exaggerated headlines like these, and the comments were like a volcanic eruption.
Cormac just glanced at them and didn't dare to continue reading. He turned off his phone.
Cormac didn't dare consider the Nash family's future.If all the evidence were confirmed, Griffon would face legal punishment.
Even if Orion weren't legally punished, as a public figure, she would be completely blacklisted in the entertainment industry. She would be sued for compensation by the investors. Nash Group's partners would terminate their contracts, and the artists under the company would also seek compensation for breach of contract. The Nash family's bankruptcy was inevitable. Thinking about this made Cormac feel suffocated. Looking at the still-comatose Ravenna, Cormac felt heartbroken.
Ravenna might never wake up. If she did, how could she handle such a drastic change in the Nash family?
What to do? Cormac suddenly felt a wave of darkness in front of him. He didn't dare to think any further.
Now, all the major media outlets were competing to report on the Nash family's bankruptcy. Galatea felt heavy-hearted seeing these reports.
Galatea asked, "If Griffon is convicted, will the Nash family go bankrupt?"
Alaric said, "Of course. I also got an inside tip that someone has reported Nash Group for tax evasion and illegal operations. The FBI is about to file a case."
Galatea was very familiar with this process, just like what happened to the Storm family back then, although they were truly wronged.
"Kicking someone when they're down, that's how it always is," Galatea said.
Alaric sighed, "In the entertainment industry, the Nash family is a dominant force. With Griffon's scandal, the competitors naturally couldn't stay calm."
Galatea sneered, "Griffon deserves it. He doesn't deserve any sympathy. It's just a pity for Cormac. If the Nash family really goes bankrupt, he'll have nothing left."
If tax evasion were confirmed, the Nash family's assets would be forcibly confiscated. Coupled with various compensations, Cormac would be heavily in debt overnight, just like she was back then. Alaric remained silent.
He and Cormac had been Cormacs since childhood, and he knew Cormac's character better than anyone. He didn't want Cormac to be affected by the Nash family's troubles.
But Cormac was Griffon's son. If the Nash family went bankrupt, he couldn't avoid being affected.
"I'll give Cormac a call."
Galatea had gone through all this back then, and she truly empathized with Cormac's current state.
But Cormac didn't answer.
Alaric sighed and said, "Let him have some peace."
Galatea could only nod.
"All of Griffon's actions have brought disaster to his family. He is truly unforgivable," Alaric said angrily.
He added, "Alright, let's not talk about Griffon anymore. It's ruining our mood. It's Friday. How about we pick up the kids and have dinner together?"
