Chapter 739
Brielle seethed with anger, nearly breaking her nails.
She attempted to console herself, telling herself that Theodore was disabled, while Jasper was a healthy man with a promising future.
Nevertheless, she fretted endlessly that Jasper would never amount to anything, never acquire any shares in the Anderson Group, leaving her eternally inferior to Ariana.
In the midst of Brielle’s turmoil, a figure burst into the room in a state of panic, his voice trembling with urgency.
“Disturbing news! Theodore Anderson has perished in a tragic car accident!”
Everyone was stunned, but none of them was as shocked as Ariana.
Ariana stood still, her face as pale as a ghost.
But then, like a volcano about to erupt, her anger erupted.
With a determined stride, she seized the man’s collar, unleashing a torrent of uncontrolled fury.
“What hogwash are you spouting?!”
The man quivered under Ariana’s wrath, stuttering in fear, “I… I’m not fabricating this… The news just hit the airwaves that Mr.
Theodore Anderson met his demise in a massive car collision on the highway, with attempts at resuscitation proving futile at the hospital!”
A shiver ran down Ariana’s spine, her fingers shaking as they clenched his collar.
Surrounding onlookers whipped out their phones, igniting a cacophony of voices.
“It’s true, it’s the hottest news right now”
“Good Lord, such an abrupt turn of events!”
Ariana collected herself, retrieved her phone, and with trembling hands, tapped on the headline.
Everything was true to the man’s words, and her mind went blank for a moment!
“Now the Anderson Group is in for a seismic shift…” murmured those around her, but Ariana’s ears were deaf to their words.
She didn’t even have a moment to absorb the details of the news report.
Pushing through the crowd, she stormed outside while frantically dialing Theodore’s number.
But all she heard on the other end was the incessant ringing.
“Answer the call, Theodore…” Ariana’s hands trembled as she beseeched, redialing over and over.
Yet, no one picked up.
Ariana swiftly dialed Horace’s number, and after two attempts, he finally responded.
“The news…” Ariana struggled to articulate, but her words were cut short by Horace’s mournful voice.
jle’re at JN Hospital.

With those words, he ended the call.
As Ariana listened to the anguish in Horace’s voice, her heart pounded even harder.
She rushed toward the entrance, hopped into a taxi, and hastily provided the address.
This couldn’t be happening.
Theodore must have survived! Ariana clutched her phone, her heart hammering in her chest.
“Please, driver, hurry! My husband was involved in a vehicular accident!” As her gaze fixated on the red traffic light ahead, Ariana couldn’t suppress the trembling in her voice.
Her heart swirled in a tempest.
She attempted to steady herself with deep breaths, but her emotions refused to be tamed.
“This is inconceivable.
Ariana closed her eyes, tormented by anguish.
“It’s too bizarre!”
Reaching the hospital, Ariana handed the taxi fare in cash, not even bothering to wait for the change.
She stumbled out of the vehicle and rushed into the medical facility.
