CHAPTER 1875 REAL MAN
Danny kept mum. Regardless, he knew the fault wasn't his to bear, for Shawn was the one who put these people in charge.
Shawn was so frustrated that he felt like he was on the verge of exploding. “It's all over. I'm done this time. Two billion in funding, all gone!”
Even though Shawn had been in the business for a long time, he was still an amateur compared to Lucian.
His family had only given him two billion to make something of himself. If he did not succeed, that would mean that Crawford Heights Group in Horington would be declared bankrupt. Besides that, Shawn had relatives from other branches of his family that he had to answer to. After all, the amount of money he got was no small sum.
Shawn had a dejected expression on his face, complaining, “D*mn you, Lucian. Why are you constantly setting me up? I was too foolish! Unexpected situations always impact overseas businesses.”
With that, he waved his hand, asking Danny to leave.
Not long after, Coralie knocked on the door. She walked into the office directly when Shawn didn't respond to her.
Coralie gestured for the secretary to clean up the trash on the floor when she noticed Shawn's dazed
look.
After the secretary cleaned up the place and walked out, Coralie threw a report onto the table before Shawn. Her voice was calm as she announced, “You've spent every penny of the capital given to you. Following this, you will have trouble managing the staff and office costs. There are two choices left for you now. Either you continue with your current venture by getting financing from others, or you must take out a loan with the bank.”
Shawn lifted his head. He looked lost and puzzled. “Coralie, it's highly impossible for me to beat Lucian!”
“Is that so? Why are you so afraid of failure? Grandpa failed in his business, too, all these years ago. But then, he managed to build our empire in the north side of the country, so why are you so worked up over this? It's not like you've run out of time to make something of yourself.” Coraline's voice was calm. She didn't care whether Shawn was too unhappy to listen to her words as she continued, “I've looked into it. The mineral land that Lucian bagged was not ample in size, and it could be developed relatively quickly. At the same time, he also has connections with the group that caused chaos this time, which means that he had ensured the resources would stay in his hands in advance. Hence, I can conclude that our background check was not thorough enough.”
“Coralie, this is not the time to analyze this information. My plan has gone down the drain. I don't know how I should face the pressure of those people when I get home.” Shawn grabbed a handful of his hair, frustration written all over his face.
In response to Shawn's words, Coralie sneered coldly. Disappointment slowly showed up in her eyes.
“If you don't analyze the reason for your failure, the same thing will happen to you next time. Both of
these mistakes you made resulted from you seeking instant benefits. If you had taken the time to observe Lucian's behavior, you would have understood why he was not as hasty as you thought. You would have concluded that he had set a trap, waiting for you to stumble in,” Coralie retorted curtly. Then, she told Shawn that she had made a summary report and that he should have a look.
He should let our family know why he failed, admit his mistakes, and accept his punishment accordingly to exhibit his true manliness.
Coralie walked out of the office with a smile, knowing that all of these were part of Lucian's plan and Jonathan was probably just the executioner. A gleeful feeling appeared within her as thoughts flashed across her mind. Jonathan may seem like an easygoing and honest person on the surface. But in actuality, his capabilities and determination are more substantial than anyone expected!
With that, her fondness for Jonathan grew. “Oh, he's dreamy and irresistible! I wonder when will he fall in love with me?” Coralie wondered out loud.
