The Princess and the Paupers Novel Full Episode novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 

“What did Caden say?” 

“He said the old lady’s mood has been a bit up and down, but there’s nothing majorly wrong with her. Probably pissed off by those three numbskulls.” 

“Do we still have those miniature surveillance devices we used before?” 

“Boss, are you planning to install surveillance in the hospital room?” Jack immediately caught on, saying, “We should have done this ages ago.” 

“I’m on it!” 

After a while, Jack found the last miniature surveillance device. It was developed by Arabella a long time ago and looked like a grain of rice, so it’s virtually invisible no matter where they stuck it. 

“Boss, this is the last one. Here you go.” 

“I’m headed to the hospital tomorrow. Keep your eyes peeled here.” 

“You got it.” 

Meanwhile. 

Olga, waiting in the hallway, saw Attlee and Yolanda coming out of the room and couldn’t help but ask, “What happened? You’re out already? What did the old lady say? How much is she giving us?” 

“Drop it.” Attlee looked like he had lost all his mojo. 

“So, the old hag still won’t cough up a dime, huh?” Olga asked, then noticed a wound on his forehead: “What happened to your head?” 

“Mom, you wouldn’t believe it. Grandma threw a massive fit and hit Dad in the head. Even when we were on our knees begging, she still wouldn’t change her will.” 

“That old bag!” Olga cursed in her mind, “I’ll go talk to her.” 

“Don’t.” Attlee grabbed her hand and was about to say something when his phone rang. 

“Hello? What? The Collins family again? Why do they keep targeting us?” 

After hanging up, Attlee couldn’t figure out why the Collins family kept coming at them.” 

The Murphy family wasn’t even a threat to the Collins! Why were they so hell–bent on messing with them? 

“What happened?” Olga couldn’t help asking, “What did the Collins do this time?” 

“Ever since the Collins sent us a warning, almost all of our material suppliers have refused to work with us. We haven’t had new stock in ages!” 

“Though we still have some inventory and some old orders in production, a bunch of manufacturers called today saying they won’t work with us anymore and to stop production. It took us a while to find out that it’s the Collins pulling the strings.” 

“Also, many of the malls that our brick–and–mortar stores are located in are forcing us out, even offering compensation for breaking the lease. And for our leases that are about to expire, they’re not planning on renewing unless we’re willing to pay ten times the rent.” 

“Ten times? Why don’t they just rob us?” Olga couldn’t believe it. 

“Also, all our loyal customers are gone.” 

“And our employees. The word is that if they go to any of the Collins‘ subsidiaries, they get double the salary and even double the vacation days. Now a lot of them are suddenly quitting.” 

“Could it be because of what happened last time?” Olga suddenly remembered how they had blocked Kenneth and Louisa at the Dawn Restaurant, and Louisa didn’t look happy. 

Could that be why the Collins have intensified their attacks on the Murphy family? 

“Now we’re under multiple pressures, and we heard that there’s an insider leaking our secrets,” Attlee said, anxious and at a loss. “Now our capital chain is broken again, and if we don’t fix it, the Murphy family is really going to go belly up.”
