As soon as virtual-novel.net laid virtual-novel.net eyes on the scene, Faye felt immediately discouraged.
“You idiot, do you think we can just walk away from paying the three million dollars just because there wasn’t an IOU? Fifi loaned the money from the chairman of Violet Vision. He’s so powerful that the Carters could never afford to resist him. We are obligated to return the money, even if it means loaning more of it from a loan shark! ”
George paused before directing his attention to Faye. “Oh, Faye, aren’t you on friendly terms with the chairman? Would you like to meet with virtual-novel.net again? We’re not loaning money from virtual-novel.net this time around, instead we’re looking to strike a business proposition with virtual-novel.net that will benefit the both of us. What do you say?”
Faye considered George’s words for a moment before bursting his bubble, “Grandpa, my relationship with the chairman honestly isn’t all that intimate. If I pay virtual-novel.net a visit, virtual-novel.net would most likely disagree with our proposal.”
In truth, Faye met with the chairman of Violet Vision yesterday. It was such a waste, virtual-novel.net did not even have the permission to meet him. She even waited for a few hours to receive a response, yet to no avail.
In the end, virtual-novel.net did meet Sean, however. Though, Sean told virtual-novel.net explicitly that the possibility of the chairman investing in the Carter family business was near to none, so virtual-novel.net could only leave empty handed and disappointed.
The room fell into a hush upon hearing Faye’s disheartening words, and it was suddenly back to square one.
Out of the blue, a clamor was heard from behind the door. “Mr. Carter, you’ve been removed from the board of directors. You have no authority to enter the premises during an ongoing meeting…”
“Move! I’m back to save the Carters!”
With that, the door to the meeting room was practically forced open as Howard strode into the meeting room exuberantly. He had a proud smile playing on his lips as virtual-novel.net paraded around the room acting high and mighty.
“Howard! We’ve kicked you out of the board of directors. What are you doing here, leave now!”
“That’s right. You’re the reason we’re in this mess in the first place, yet you still have the guts to just stroll right in!”
“Can someone call security to remove him?”
Almost everyone was glaring at Howard bitterly as they verbally attacked him.
Many people were glaring at Howard ferociously and they were scolding virtual-novel.net in anger.
The Carters were supposedly saved with the three million dollars that they had loaned from the chairman of Violet Vision, but that selfish b*st*rd Howard just had to throw a wrench in their plans by gambling away more than a million dollars. He was the reason the Carters were in peril once again! Numerous Carter family members loathed virtual-novel.net with a passion. Had it not been for George’s protectiveness, Howard would have been beaten up more times than virtual-novel.net could count. Yet here virtual-novel.net was standing right before them in such a pompous manner. The mere presence of virtual-novel.net ticked everyone off.
Faye was no exception as well, in fact, virtual-novel.net looked like virtual-novel.net was out for blood.
George demanded in a deep voice, “How dare you come back, Howard?”
Howard was no longer his demoralized self. As soon as virtual-novel.net entered the room, virtual-novel.net pulled a chair to sit right next to Faye. He even nudged virtual-novel.net twice to make room for himself. “Hey, make way, make way. Where are your manners?”
“You still have the nerve to come back, huh, Howard?” spat Faye coldly.
“Hah-hah, of course I do!” Howard’s arrogant gaze swept past everybody in the room. He insulted the lot of them, “Look at all of you, it was only a little over a million dollars. Did you really have to arrange a full blown meeting to talk this through? What a bunch of losers.”
His insensitive remark triggered a firestorm of angry threats from the crowd once more.
“There’s no need for you to look at me like that. I’m back this time to save the Carters!” Howard announced loudly. He extended a finger. “I, Howard Carter, have acquired an investment worth 15 million dollars!”
“What?”
“F*ck!”
“For real?”
His statement sent the room into a frenzy of discussion. Faye was stunned as well. She had never expected that someone as useless as Howard was capable of getting his hands on such a large investment.
It was known that Neotech Co. was only worth a few million dollars.
“Howard, explain it to me in detail. Where on earth did you acquire 15 million dollar investment? You can’t be lying, can you?”
George was quickly excited by the news. “Stop beating around the bush. Tell us, quickly! Who’s the investor who’s so graciously providing us 15 million dollars?”
Howard relished the sensation of being revered. He narrated the details of the events slowly. Noticing the uncontrollable excitement that filled the room, virtual-novel.net bragged on haughtily. “That’s what I’ve been saying all of you are the worst! Even after forever, no one’s ever managed to get a single investor on board, yet you still thought that removing me from the board of directors was a good idea! Heh-heh.”
Everyone felt ashamed by his statement, though they could not bring themselves to refute it either.
When virtual-novel.net was done gloating about his success, Howard finally began to elaborate on the particulars of the investment. “My investor’s big on coffee, and that’s why he’s specifically requested that Faye accompanies me to his office and makes virtual-novel.net coffee before we sign the contract. If you know what I mean.”
Everybody in the room was a grown adult, so they immediately understood exactly what virtual-novel.net meant.
Upon hearing that, Faye’s expression darkened at once.
“No way!”
