The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 272

Gilbert’s expression turned serious, and Chelsea said angrily, “It must be that Rosalie wants to show off intentionally. She’s only acting this way because Jonathan is showing some interest in her now.”

Gilbert’s anxiety suddenly rose. Perhaps this situation wasn’t as easily resolved as he had thought.

“Dad, since they said they’re busy, let’s go back,” Chelsea suggested while curling her lips.

As soon as she finished speaking, Gilbert’s phone rang. When he answered the call, his face turned pale, and he started sweating profusely.

Confused, Chelsea couldn’t help but ask after seeing his father end the call in a state of desperation, “Dad, what’s wrong?”

Yet, then, Gilbert raised his hand and slapped Chelsea hard. “Look what you’ve done to our family this time!”

The tax scandal was now beyond concealment. The call he just received was from someone he had painstakingly managed to get on his side. However, this person told him that their family’s situation would be thoroughly investigated, and no amount of pleading would help.

This wasn’t just about paying fines and back taxes. If they had to pay these amounts immediately, it would disrupt the company’s cash flow. With cash flow issues, the entire company would be in jeopardy.

Perhaps only a bank loan could buy them some time, but Gilbert wondered if any bank would actually grant them one. Gilbert thought about what the Youngblood family’s butler had said earlier.

“Does Jonathan know that the Wallace family was about to face this crisis? Or perhaps… is he one of the masterminds behind this?” Gilbert thought.

After all, the person with connections had told him earlier that the tax issue could be delayed for another half a month if he found someone to help during that time.
