Chapter 214
“Officers, what seems to be the problem?” Ronald asked, his eyelid twitching uncontrollably.
“We’ve received a report that Rosepoly Group is under suspicion of tax evasion. You are required to come with us for questioning” At those words, mare than half the people in the conference room suddenly turned pale.
Ronald still attempted to protest, his voice filled with desperation. “Officers, is there some sort of misunderstanding here?”
“If there is any misunderstanding, you can clarify it at the station.” A police officer shouted, “Take them away!”
The police finally escorted Ronald and Emery out. As they stepped through the main gate, a flurry of camera flashes illuminated the night.
“Mr. Wilson! There are rumors that the Rosepoly Group is involved in tax evasion–what do you have to say about that?”
“Mr. Wilson, you’ve always portrayed the ideal entrepreneur. Aren’t you embarrassed by this scandal?”
“If your son Emery is involved, will you choose justice over family ties, or will you do whatever it takes to protect him? Mr. Wilson, please answer us!”
“Emery! You’ve just taken over at Rosepoly Group, and everything is falling apart. Is this a result of your incompetence, or was Rosepoły Group already struggling from the start?”
“Emery, is your father grooming you to be his successor? With your brother Bryan recently removed from the Wilson, Group, is he pitting you two against each other?”
Undeterred by the police, the reporters eagerly sought even a single word from the two members of the Wilson family. Emery had never encountered a situation like this before; overwhelmed by the swarm of reporters, he was utterly speechless. “I… I don’t know. I’m not sure…” he stammered.
Ronald strongly rejected the allegations, stating, “Let’s wait for the official investigation results before jumping to any conclusions.” However, his words went unheeded.
Once the police took them away, the internet erupted with headlines about the Rosepoly Group’s tax evasion scandal and the arrest of all its top executives. The images conveyed everything on their own.
Just as Rosepoly Group’s shares had started to recover, they plummeted again, causing investors to panic and rush to sell their holdings. This situation led Rosepoly Group into an unprecedented crisis.
With the police in complete control of the situation, even Bryan–the last remaining core leader–was unable to influence the outcome. The evidence against Anthony was clear–cut. Seeking leniency, he fully cooperated with the investigation, and with Aubree intensifying the matter, the police quickly acquired decisive evidence.
Regrettably, Ronald was by then just the major shareholder of Rosepoly Group. Although he made the key decisions, he didn’t hold an official position in the company, which made it challenging to hold him directly accountable for the situation. As for poor Emery, he hadn’t taken any money for himself, yet he couldn’t escape the consequences of the predicament.
As the acting CEO of Rosepoly Group, who intentionally concealed tax fraud, Emery could not avoid punishment, even with the on family’s elite legal team. Ultimately, Anthony received a ten–year prison sentence for multiple offenses, while Emery was sentenced to three years and ordered to repay the
owed taxes.
With Emery in prison, the stock price of Rosepoly Group immediately fell to its daily limit. The company struggled to survive for long, and Ronald soon declared the Rosepoly Group bankrupt.
By then, Aubree was already on a private jet bound for Shiyvania. The Wilson family had lost their enthusiasm for a vacation–an air of despair hung heavily over the entire household.
“Damn! Aubree Miller dared to do this!” Ronald gritted his teeth in anger, thinking, ‘That damn Aubree dared to send Emery straight to prison!”
With her youngest son going to prison, Alice was overwhelmed with tears. “How could I have given birth to such an ungrateful person?” she cried.

Trevor couldn’t help but add salt to the wound. “If I remember correctly, the club that Emery used to manage, Apex Squad, is on its last legs, highes Aubree’s God’s Fury has already acquired it.”
While Ronald was focused on the crisis at Rosepoly Group, Apex Squad became entirely unsustainable. After careful consideration, the board of shareholders decided to sell it to God’s Fury. Aubree has transformed Bree Technology into an undeniable powerhouse in the business world and has rapidly propelled God’s Fury to the forefront of the esports scene.
“Dad, Aubree has crossed the line this time! We’re talking about our brother, Emery!” Carmen gasped, tears filling her eyes.
Ronald’s eyes hardened, a dangerous glint flashing within them. “She showed no mercy, so don’t expect any from me!”
