My In-Laws Wanted My Billion-Dollar Empire Chapter 08

Ethan only had a few thousand dollars left in cash.

There was no way they could keep living the way they used to.

In the end.

He could only take the entire family and find the cheapest low-income apartment they could afford on the

outskirts of the city.

Richard was brought home as well.

They could no longer afford his long-term hospital care.

Madison looked around the cramped, run-down apartment.

She frowned deeply.

But this time.

She didn’t dare complain.

Because she knew.

If they lost even this place…

They wouldn’t have anywhere to go.

The Hayes Family, who had once lived a life of luxury, now struggled just to survive.

And Tensei Tech’s situation had already reached the point of no return.

Before Ethan could even process everything that had happened,

his secretary rushed in with more bad news.

“Mr. Hayes, something happened.”

“There are many clients at the company.”

“They all brought contract termination notices.”

“They want to end their partnerships immediately.”

“And they’re demanding breach-of-contract compensation.”

Ethan’s expression changed.

He immediately rushed back to the company.

But the moment he arrived outside the office building,

he saw dozens of suppliers and business partners blocking the entrance.

They held unpaid invoices and delivery records in their hands.

Their voices were full of anger.

“Ethan Hayes!”

“Come out and deal with what you owe us!”

“When are you going to pay what you owe?”

“Don’t even think about running from your responsibility!”

Ethan forced himself through the crowd and entered the company.

The moment he stepped into the conference room,

he saw several major clients sitting there.

Every one of them looked furious.

When they saw Ethan walk in,

one of them immediately threw a termination notice onto the table.

“Ethan Hayes.”

“We’ve worked together for years.”

“We never wanted things to end like this.”

“But you offended Natalie Warren.”

“We had no choice.”

“After the Warren Family withdrew all of its business support…”

“Tensei Tech could no longer maintain normal operations.”

“If we continue cooperating with you, we’ll only suffer losses.”

“This is the contract termination agreement.”

“And this is the compensation claim.”

“The total amount is fifteen million dollars.”

“Give us an answer as soon as possible.”

Another client spoke up.

“We’re the same.”

“We’re ending our cooperation today.”

“The penalties must be paid in full.”

Ethan picked up the documents.

He opened his mouth, ready to explain.

But before he could say anything,

the finance director suddenly rushed into the room.

His face was full of panic.

“Mr. Hayes…”

“There’s another problem.”

“The bank had just sent another notice.”

“In addition to freezing all company accounts…”

“They’re preparing to begin the asset liquidation process.”

“Because the company’s loans are already overdue.”

“Our unpaid supplier debts have exceeded eight million dollars.”

“The customer breach penalties total fifteen million dollars.”

“The bank loans total another twenty million dollars.”

“We have no way to repay everything.”

Ethan leaned against the wall.

His entire body felt weak.

Only then did he finally understand.

Tensei Tech…

was truly finished.

That day.

Ethan called Ryan and Madison back.

They held the final shareholder meeting.

The conference room was completely silent.

After a long time.

Ethan finally spoke.

His voice was hoarse.

“The company’s cash flow had completely collapsed.”

“There was no way to recover.”

“We could only file for bankruptcy.”

Ryan and Madison didn’t argue.

Because they knew.

This was their only choice.

That morning.

Tensei Tech officially filed for bankruptcy with the business authorities.

That afternoon.

The property management team arrived at the company headquarters.

They began the removal process.

The once-glorious Tensei Tech office building was emptied in a short time.

The floors that once held countless meetings and ambitions became completely empty.

Only scattered documents remained on the ground.

The company they once thought would bring them endless wealth…

had disappeared.

Ethan had nowhere left to turn.

The only person he could think of was Natalie.

He knew.

At this moment.

The only person who could save them…

was her.

Meanwhile.

I was sitting in my own office.

Reviewing the restructuring plan for Tensei Tech.

My secretary knocked softly on the door.

Then walked in.

Her expression was hesitant.

“Natalie.”

“There are several visitors downstairs.”

“They said they’re your family.”

“They insist on seeing you.”

“We couldn’t stop them.”

I raised my head.

I didn’t need to guess.

I already knew who they were.

“Let them come up.”

A few minutes later.

The Hayes Family walked into my office.
