My Husband Is a Gary Stu Chapter 1171

Chapter 1172

Earlier that morning, Benson Corporation had declared bankruptcy as Jiminy Benson had acquired a debt of more

than a billion.

Timothy had hurriedly departed that morning to deal with the fallout of the incident.

Timothy's father and Jiminy had an amicable relationship because of their friendship. While Timothy could help

Charlotte out, he was unable to loan the Benson family money because the debt was not merely hundreds of

millions but more than a billion. It was a bottomless pit that could not be filled easily.

Jiminy had been arrested in Xedells but had not been extradited yet. Due to the fact the Benson family's assets

would eventually be sequestered by the court, Timothy arranged for Charlotte and her family to stay at a hotel

temporarily.

Throughout this period, Timothy had been busy taking care of Johanna and had not contacted Armand for some

time due to the resentment he felt.

After Timothy had settled Charlotte and her family at the hotel, he chatted with the latter. It was only then he found

out that Armand and Genevieve were dead, and the two children were currently under Cooper's care.

Cooper had kept the matter a secret from the children.

During the journey home, Timothy was unable to return to his senses. He called Cooper, finding out from the latter

regarding what had happened to Genevieve in Lostaria and how Armand had willingly followed her to her death.

Cooper replied faintly, “I know you did it for Johanna, so don't be too hard on yourself.”

There was no way Timothy would not blame himself.

Although he had never wished for Genevieve's demise, he was the one who had impulsively requested the doctor

release her from the hypnosis and forced her to travel to Lostaria in order to bring Johanna back.

If I had known...

If he had known things would unfold this way, he would have informed Armand beforehand and tried to come up

with another way to rescue Johanna.

Johanna could not see Timothy's expression, but when the latter was silent for a long time, she couldn't help but

ask, “What's wrong?”

“It's nothing.” Timothy pressed several kisses on her hand. “I called Armand, and they've gone to stay at the Zeigler

residence for New Year. I heard that General Zeigler isn't well.”

Johanna was aware of Herbert's poor health.

Since Genevieve was Herbert's granddaughter, it was natural for her and Armand to visit the Zeigler residence with

the children during New Year.



“Darling, you're pregnant. You need to rest.” Timothy tried to change the subject. “Armand and the others can visit

when he's not as busy. Would you like an orange? I'll peel one for you.”

Johanna did not pursue the matter further. “Yes, please. I'd like a sour one.”

After staying at the Zeigler residence for several days, Cooper and the two children returned to Jadeborough on the

fourth day.

A lot had happened in the past several days.

Jiminy, who was returning to Jadeborough from Xedells, died on the way back. As the police had not publicly

announced the cause of death, rumors of Jiminy taking his own life ran rampant. Benson Corporation was also

liquidated due to bankruptcy.

Just like that, a company that was the glory of Jadeborough for decades and one of the biggest real estate

companies in the country ceased to exist.

As no one else from the Benson family inherited Jiminy's assets after his death, naturally, there was no need to pay

off the debt of over a billion.

However, Benson Corporation going bankrupt affected countless families.

The members of those families hated Jiminy's wife and children. If it hadn't been for Timothy's quick thinking in

making arrangements for Charlotte and her family, she could have been swarmed by the angry mob.

When Melissa saw Cooper return, she opened the door and welcomed them.

Melissa said to Cooper, “Mr. Jensen came by with lots of presents the other day. He even had a balloon Asel wanted

to give to Mandy.”

Upon hearing this, Amanda rushed into the living room excitedly to open the presents.

Cooper could only sigh faintly in response.

He did not blame Timothy for the turn of events. Had he been in the latter's shoes and Genevieve was the one who

was kidnapped, he probably would have done something far more drastic.

However, it remained a fact that Armand and his wife were dead.

Worried that Timothy would accidentally let his tongue slip in front of the children, he refused to bring Amanda to

Timothy's place despite the little girl's pleas to visit Asel.

Suddenly recalling something, Melissa added, “Ms. Joule seems to be pregnant.”

Amanda ran over when she heard Melissa's words. Clutching the balloon excitedly, she exclaimed, “For real? Am I

going to have a little sister? Uncle Cooper, I want to visit Aunt Jojo and the baby!”

She tugged at Cooper's shirt as she pleaded with him.



Cooper patted the girl's head lovingly. “Your Aunt Jojo is currently very weak due to her pregnancy. What if you

accidentally hurt her when you're playing with Asel? Be a good girl. We'll visit them some other time.”

Upon hearing Cooper's explanation, Amanda stopped pestering him to take them to Johanna's place. She was afraid

that she would hurt the baby if they bumped into Johanna during one of their play sessions.

Suddenly, she ran up to Sally and hugged the woman.
