Chapter 880
"No way!" Clarice refused without hesitation. Then she softened her tone, realizing she might have come off too harsh.
"Sweetheart, it's not that I don't want to help. Genesis Games had reached the end of the line. For real, they rubbed some folks the wrong way, and now someone wants them gone for good. No one can save them.
"Not to mention, they owe billions. Even my company couldn't possibly come up with that kind of cash to bail them out."
"So... there's really no way? Will all his efforts come to nothing?" Bella's voice was thick with despair.
Was this really how it would end? Watching him rise to greatness, only to watch it all come crashing down?
Clarice sighed. "No one can help him. He brought this upon himself. Maybe he was too arrogant, and now he's finally facing the consequences. But honestly, this failure might be good for him in the long run.
"Sweetheart, since you've ended things with him, it's time to move on. You need to let go. In the end, he's just a regular guy. He bit off more than he could chew- that's why he crashed."
With that, Clarice hung up.
Listening to the dial tone after the call disconnected, Bella gazed into the
distance. It was as if she could see the desperate and helpless look in Jack's eyes at that very moment.
Meanwhile, in Vexburg Brightland, Phoebe sat by the window at Brightland University, staring blankly at her laptop.
There was even more negative press about Genesis Games in Vexburg than back home.
Though Vexburg was small, Genesis Games had its headquarters in Brightland. The sudden collapse of a company once valued at over 20 billion dollars was undoubtedly headline news in Brightland.
Phoebe had noticed the news. She also noticed that the founder's name was Jack a senior from Zargonia's Alnewgo University.
Her heart skipped a beat. She started digging for more details-news reports, photos. The clearest one was from a recent live interview at Montclair Conservatory.
It was him.
The young man who had stood by the river, singing his heart out in

Phoebe finally understood why Jack had come to Brightland all those years ago. He said he had some
business to take care of, but it turned out it was for Genesis Games.
That man was full of miracles. Being the top scorer in the state didn't dim his brilliance. If anything, that achievement became a stepping stone. Under its spotlight, he soared even higher.
Phoebe always knew Jack was brilliant-but she never imagined he'd build a 20- billion-dollar company before graduating from college.
What she never saw coming was that same company now teetering on the edge of collapse.
The past glory had now reduced to nothing. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on findnovel.net
For Jack, the rise and fall of Genesis Games must have felt like a dream-brilliant one moment, gone the next.
Was he back home now, going through unbearable torment?
Phoebe picked up her phone, tempted to make an international call. But in the end, she set it back down.
Wesley also saw the news about Jack. Aside from calling him immediately to check in, there was nothing else he could do.
Against that level of capital, ordinary individuals truly felt powerless.
