lan was very serious about her words. On the second day of Autumn Field's operation, Zea Group had been investigated by many parties
Over the years, Zea Group has been doing a lot of tax evasion, along with other illegal activities, which is detrimental to Zea Group. More than ten top management Zea Group were under investigation, and even Jackson and Lilian were detained for several days.
Eventually this disaster ended with Zea Group being fined three million dollars.
Zea Group is already in trouble due to a collaboration with Group Smith. This investigation by government officials was just one on top of any other disaster!
Although they had borrowed twenty million from the Golden Peony Bank, it was clear their funds were dwindling.
Inside the Zea family residence, everyone's heart fell into the deepest hole in their stomachs. Ever since Tyr married into the Zea family, they seemed to face bad luck one after another until reaching rock bottom.
"That's all because of the woman***** that. Winifred. His whole family ******! Those ungrateful poor dogs! The Zea family had raised him for over twenty years now. How could he let someone else destroy our family?"
Iris continued to ramble as she scolded Winifred, just like a few previous incidents. He always thought that Winifred was the cause of all this and never thought to reflect on his own actions.
"Shut up!" Jorge suddenly exploded in anger. His roar made Iris stunned.
Since the incident that befell Winifred six years ago, Jorge has always been on Iris' side. It's been a long time since Jorge hasn't been so angry with her.
"Grandfather..."
"If it wasn't for you trying to attack Winifred all the time, would our family have done this? Iris Zea, how much longer are you going to keep causing trouble? Don't you think you've suffered enough?"
Iris' expression changed. "Grandfather, do you blame me for all this? Didn't I do all this for Zea's family? Grandpa, this is all wrong..."
"Enough!" Jorge took a deep breath and said coldly, "Winifred Zea is no longer related to my Zea family. From now on, no one will be able to say his name in front of me. One more thing, the fame of the Zea Group has now fallen in the eyes of industry players. Our orders are also decreasing. If this continues, the Zea Group will end. We must immediately sign a big business deal to recover ourselves."
Jackson came in and said, "Dad, since the Smith Group worked directly to secure a long-term partnership with Gucci, Gucci is now officially entering the market of our country. Later on, they will have a place in the city center as well. Gucci recently joined the downtown and Smith Group to host a fashion design competition. Many clothing companies in the province will send in professional design teams to take part in the competition. Any company that can win a high ranking in this competition will get a large order from the downtown clothing alliance. The champion can even be with Gucci's base."
News of the Gucci fashion design competition was spread throughout the city of Khanh a few days ago. The family members present, too, had heard about this event, and they were now eager to give it a try.
If they could become one of the pioneers of the competition, it could help the Zea family to get through their ordeal. If they could get first rank, Zea Group could even become a first-class clothing company overnight.
Jorge looked at everyone. "Our Zea Group is a long-standing company. It is not too difficult for us to get a high ranking in this competition. Which one of you is willing to lead and enter this competition?"
"I'm going, Grandpa." Iris was the first to step.
Iris replied confidently, "Uncle, you forgot that I graduated from a fashion design institution. For many years, Winifred was in charge of the design department, but I was not inferior to him. Winifred's Autumn Field company will be entering this competition as well. At that time, I will use my creations to give him the most ruthless slap in this competition so that I can finally end this hatred."

Back then, inside the Autumn Field Group conference room, Winifred sat in the chair as he discussed Gucci and the downtown collaborating contest with his higher management staff, including Joseph and Graham.
Finally, everyone unanimously voted that the Autumn Field Group would enter this competition.
Winifred had already discussed this with Joseph. After Autumn Field gained the ranking in this competition, Joseph would contact his two old friends and ask their factory to join the Autumn Field Group. That way, the Autumn Field would definitely grow bigger and stronger!
Once everything was in order, Winifred led his own design team to begin work on his creation.
There was still half a month until registration, so they needed to design the perfect piece within this half a month to submit during registration.
Over the next half a month, Winifred spent all his energy on creating the design . He was very busy from day to night every day, constantly making new pieces and then throwing them away. He needed every perfect detail so that it would leave the audience stunned as the competition went on.
In the Smith Group building's head office, Tyr casually sat on the sofa with his cell phone in his hand, playing a game of Sokoban.
Zachery specially prepared expensive tea for Tyr as he respectfully handed it over to the man younger than him.
"Sister Tyr, our Smith Group is Gucci's main partner for the downtown fashion design competition. For this competition, the judge was Gucci's Chief Designer, Michael, along with several other internationally renowned designers. Big brother Tyr, I've arranged it. Miss Zea's Autumn Field could definitely earn a spot in this competition.
Tyr put down his phone and took the tea from Zachery's hand. He shook his head. "No. Zachery, I will not allow you to interfere in this competition."
Zachery. "Sister Tyr, you mean..."
"I won't allow you to help my wife. So, unplug all the arrangements you've made. For this competition, I want all of this to be honest."
Zachery did not understand why Tyr made this decision. Doesn't that man love his wife so much? It was a good opportunity, so why didn't he support her now?
Tyr stood up and went to the window to see birds flying in the sky.
"In order for an eagle to spread its wings and fly freely, its wings must be strong enough. Winifred, I trust you! This time, even without my help, you would be able to make the world dumbfounded!"
