chapter 1857
Noticing the man who tried to sneak out of their view, an officer blew the whistle and instantly...
They found out that Max had inhaled a large amount of drugs. He had gone mad and was classified as mentally ill. They pinned him into a car and sent him to a mental hospital!
The next day, news of the D'Cruz family heir being sent to mental hospital due to overdosing on drugs rushed up to the trending list.
Photos of Max going in and out of the underground casino frequently were released. Everyone knew how dark the place was.
These photos were everywhere online, and everyone's reaction led to the same thing-shock.
[It can’t be! He's such a handsome man, the heir of the D'Cruz, yet he gambled and took drugs?] [You never truly know someone!] [This is the brother who supported Tiffany! Anyone who's related to Tiffany won't be good!] [I know! The rich families are dark; this is normal. Max probably overdosed last night. Otherwise, he'd be fine like always.] [No matter who he was, he's crossed the line, and he can't be forgiven!] [That’s right. Boycott Wave! We must never buy skin products coming from bad people!]
With that, the boycott-Wave campaign was started online. This caused customers to empty their physical and virtual stores.
Wave’s sales plummeted as a result.
When Fredrick heard the news, he instantly aged a few years older. He seemed very dull.
He would never have thought that his only son, the son he was proud of, would do such a thing and land himself a terrible fate.
Waverly sat by his side and comforted him sympathetically, "Father, I'm sorry, I should apologize to you. I knew Max was going to the underground casino, but I thought he was only gambling. I didn't know he had gone that far. He told me he's just playing, so I didn't take it by heart. Father, I'm sorry © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Waverly was visibly distraught, tears welling up in her eyes as she sobbed.
Fredrick turned to look at her and sighed heavily. "Waverly, this is not your fault. It was his fault, and it's only right he faces retribution!"
Despite his words, Fredrick’s tone was filled with guilt and pain. It was his fault for trusting Max so much; he never really kept an eye on him.
Fredrick frowned, and his eyes turned red.
Waverly patted his back gently and comforted, "Father, I believe that Max will get better in there and learn his lesson. I'll always be at your side until my brother comes back out!"
Fredrick looked at her weakly. He softly held her hand and nodded with strength. "I thank my stars that you're here, Waverly. You're my only daughter, my only child at my side now..." "Father, I'll take good care of you and stay by your side."
When Fredrick heard this, the pain in his eyes vanished.
The two of them comforted one another when the shop manager ran toward them, reporting, "Ms. Waverly, it's bad. Due to Mr. D'Cruz's incident, Wave is being boycotted. There's no sale in the shop all day, not even in our online shop!"
Waverly frowned. She thought of something and sighed. "Let it be, just drop it. I only want to accompany my father now."
Fredrick was in awe to have heard Waverly’s response, no doubt...yet he would not allow her to take such a move!
Fredrick looked at the shop manager dully and said, "Put all items on retail and online shops ninety percent off."
