I Hope You Will Never Regret

Chapter 168 Abandoned Stadium Project



Jessica Wells asked the photography team to follow her to the Construction site. Fortunately, the Bennet Group construction workers were still there. They didn’t leave when the Executive Secretary, Henry Gibbs, asked them to go back home.

When they saw the reporter, they were over the moon. Jessica approached them and said, “Good morning, I am Jessica Wells reporting live at the stadium construction site.

The Construction site is deserted and there is no Construction Machinery. I see a handful of the Bennet Group employees waiting for the management to address them. Please tell us what happened?”

One of the construction workers looked at her and replied, “We don’t have any idea. When we arrived at 5 am, the construction site was like this.

Our colleagues told us that they belonged to the Martins Group and their CEO wanted them back. They also indicated that the Construction Machinery belonged to the Martins Group.”

Jessica was shocked to hear that and asked, “Are you waiting for the Bennet Group management to address you?” The same construction worker replied, “We called Bennet Group Executive Secretary when we arrived.

We saw him with President Bennet walking to the office. Later, Secretary Gibbs told us to go back home until further notice. We don’t know if we will be able to get paid this month.”

Jessica called Director Evans and said, “Director Evans, I am sorry for disturbing you. I am at the Construction site. The workers told me that you took your employees back to the Martins Group. Is it true?

Director Evans told Jessica that the relationship between the Martins Group CEO and the Bennet Group President had become sour. Hence, CEO Martins withdrew his funds and called back his employees.

Furthermore, he indicated that CEO Martins and President Bennet signed an agreement that the Martins Group would lend him its construction workers for one year.

However, President Bennet managed to hire only two hundred construction workers during the first year. It made it difficult for CEO Martins to call them back because they were busy with the airport project.

President Bennet promised to hire more construction workers. However, for four years he managed to hire only two hundred construction workers, and he didn’t even buy a single spade. Jessica thanked Director Evans. Then they hung up.

Jessica tried to call President Bennet to no avail. Then she called Executive Secretary Henry Gibbs.

The call went through. Jessica became excited and said, “Good morning, Mr Gibbs, I am at the Construction site with your employees. Please tell me what happened?” Henry Gibbs replied, “No comment.” Then he hung up.

At the Spencer residence at Amanzimtoti, Mr Spencer was in the living room watching the news. He was shocked when he heard that his beloved son-in-law was using the Martins Group construction workers and Construction Machinery.

Mr Spencer took his phone and called his friend, Terence Cook, and said, “Good morning, Terence. I just saw on the news that the Martins Group has called its employees back from the Bennet Group. Do you know what happened?”

Terence replied, “Good morning, Trevor. Yesterday, your beloved son-in-law broke up with August’s daughter. They have been dating for five years. I heard that he broke up with her in front of your daughter.

Then August took everything he had given him. The Bennet Group is facing bankruptcy. My advice to you, my friend, is to be careful with the Bennet boy. He doesn’t have integrity.”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Trevor was dumbfounded and his heart sank. Was Jordan two-timing his daughter and the Martins’ daughter? It was clear to him that his son-in-law kept Miss Martins for benefits. Trevor thanked his friend, and then they hung up.

Mr Spencer called his Executive Secretary and asked him to investigate Jordan Bennet. Half an hour later, his Executive Secretary sent a report to his e-mail.

He was shocked to see that Jordan dated Avery Martins when she was fourteen years old. When she was fifteen years old, Mr Martins helped Jordan to establish the Bennet Group. Jordan was an ingrate.

He went to their bedroom and woke up his wife. Juliet rubbed her eyes and asked, “What is the matter, my love?”

Trevor looked at her and said, “Juliet, I told you and Tiffany that I was against snatching Jordan from the Martins’ daughter. I even suggested to her that she should chase the Taylor heir, but she turned me down.

Do you know that your precious son-in-law was two-timing our daughter? He has been dating our daughter for three months, but he just broke up with Miss Martins yesterday in front of our daughter.”

Juliet looked at her husband strangely and replied, “Hubby, you can’t blame our son-in-law. Maybe the Martins’ girl was pestering him.”

Trevor was so upset, he switched on the television and said, “Look at the news. The Martins’ daughter was not aware that her boyfriend was getting engaged until yesterday.

Hence, her father took everything he had given our son-in-law. Your son-in-law is poor as a mouse.”

Juliet watched the news in silence. She couldn’t believe her ears when she heard that everything that the Bennet Group had, belonged to the Martins Group. Her precious daughter would be devastated.

She looked at her husband and said, “We have been deceived by that boy. I will never allow my precious daughter to marry a pauper. We have to call off the engagement banquet.”

Her husband laughed out loud and replied, “Didn’t your precious daughter tell me that she fell in love with Jordan at first sight? What about her happiness? How is he going to pay for the mansion and the Penthouse?

Please prepare yourself because the Bennet family will move in when the property is taken away by the bank.” The Spencer family had visited the Bennet family at their luxurious mansion.

Juliet shook her head and replied, “They are not welcome here. They must sell their mansion and buy a small house. However, I will be happy if I can get hold of those paintings in their living room.”

Her husband shook his head and said, “We cannot afford those paintings. They cost a few million rand each. We are in this mess because you failed to listen to me. I was against snatching Jordan from the Martins’ girl, but you and your daughter forced me to get the Celebration Party invitation.”

His wife was worried about her beloved daughter. She took her phone and dialed her daughter’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Baby, where are you?”

Tiffany told her mother that she was at Jordan’s Penthouse. Her mother asked her to come back home immediately. Tiffany had been trying to get hold of her boyfriend to no avail. She even sent him text messages, but Jordan was missing in action.
