When everyone saw virtual-novel.net tapping away at virtual-novel.net cell phone, they made sure not to make any noise, as they were worried that the slightest of sounds would affect virtual-novel.net conversation with Nathan.
At that moment, they were all at their wit’s ends. Frankly speaking, none of them were very capable people. They relied solely on Neotech to fund their lavish lifestyles so they could live extravagantly. It was mainly due to the large bonuses the company gave them every year. That was how they had become the wealthier people within their circle.
However, if Neotech were to shut down, they would lose their bonuses completely, which effectively cut off their main source of income. They would be paupers, something that was completely unacceptable!
It was human nature. We would happily accept wealth, but when the possibility of parting with it or the opportunity to give it away arises, it’s impossibly difficult to come to terms with it.
Therefore, when they heard that Howard had managed to convince someone to invest a massive sum into the company, but lost it all because of Faye, they saw virtual-novel.net as their mortal enemy!
Indeed, it would not have been an exaggeration to say that they would have probably murdered virtual-novel.net if the law allowed.
The Carters were not a big family, but they had problems that most big families had. One of them was having fickle relationships that mostly revolve around being benefitted. Thus, anyone who threatened to endanger those benefits became the family’s enemy.
When the call connected, Nathan’s voice could be heard on the other end. “Fifi?”
Nathan was a little shocked when virtual-novel.net saw Faye’s call. He hurriedly made a gesture to signal the people near his bed not to make a noise. He moved aside to answer. Faye took a deep breath and said, “Nate, you promised me that you would invest 8 million dollars into our company for 30% of our shares. Do you still remember that?”
When virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net words, Nathan’s brows furrowed. The smile on his face had turned cold and sinister.
‘You just had to bring up something so sensitive… How am I supposed to fork out 8 million dollars?!’
‘To be honest, it doesn’t matter if I get my hands on the money. Neotech isn’t even worth it in the slightest, it’s not some huge business to begin with. It’s just a lighting equipment factory. The total net worth of your entire company would only add up to about 7 million dollars. I was touched in the head. That’s why I said I would invest in your company. It was all just a ploy to woo you.’
‘Furthermore, when I met Mr. Hyde yesterday, I gave virtual-novel.net an enormous amount of money to have Zayn killed, so there’s no way I’m taking 8 million dollars out to invest in Neotech.’
As virtual-novel.net mulled over his thoughts, virtual-novel.net sounded embarrassed as virtual-novel.net said, “About that…I’m quite strapped for cash right now, so I won’t be able to withdraw that much money.”
Faye was startled for a moment and instantly became anxious. “Oh? But Nate, you said that you were willing to invest 8 million dollars in our company. It’s been less than two days since you said that, but you’re strapped for cash now?”
Nathan responded coldly, “Fifi, are you doubting me?”
“Nate, I didn’t mean it like that!” Faye hurriedly apologized and then said, “Nate, how much would you be able to get? The Carters are in a pinch right now, so we need your help.”
When virtual-novel.net said that, Faye felt as if someone had pierced virtual-novel.net with a needle. For someone as proud as virtual-novel.net to have to say something like that was a tremendous personal challenge!
Faye could feel virtual-novel.net face burning up.
In the boardroom, everyone was holding their breaths. They had their eyes wide open as they listened in on their conversation intently.
As it happened, Nathan merely laughed scornfully. Instead of answering Faye’s question, virtual-novel.net mockingly said, “Actually, there’s no need for you to look for me, is there, Fifi? Zayn’s a very capable man, isn’t he? He was able to throw away a Magpie’s Treasure Nest worth 4.6 million dollars on a whim. You could very well look to virtual-novel.net for help.”
As Faye’s phone was on speaker, everyone was stunned when Nathan’s words reached their ears.
‘What the f*ck?’
‘That deadbeat actually had a Magpie’s Treasure Nest worth 4.6 million dollars, and virtual-novel.net broke it?’
They looked like they were in turmoil!
Regardless of how much truth that statement held, the idea of 4.6 million dollars going to waste was enough for them to feel physical pain.
