Peter was stunned as he covered his cheek with his hand. After a short while, he yelled at Charlie.
“You piece of thrash! How dare you hit me!”
Charlie sneered before he said, “Why? Why wouldn’t I dare hit you? If I want to hit you, you’ll just have to deal with it.”
After that, Charlie raised his hand and slapped Peter again. At this time, Peter’s cheek was already swollen.
Even though Claire was also very disgusted with Peter, Charlie had already slapped him twice. Therefore, she was a little worried and she hurriedly said, “Charlie, what are you doing? Didn’t I tell you not to recklessly start a fight with anyone?”
She was not worried about herself but she was worried that Peter would exact revenge on Charlie. After all, Peter was still the boss of a reputable company. How could he possibly keep calm after getting hit by Charlie?
True enough, Peter was completely annoyed and irritated at this time. He pointed his finger at Claire before he said, “You, the one with the last name Wilson! If you do not compensate and appease me after what your husband has done today, I’ll kill him! I’ll make sure that he disappears from Aurous Hill immediately!”
As soon as Claire heard the word ‘compensate’, she started to lose her temper immediately. “You’re so shameless!”
“Shameless?” Peter snorted coldly. “Don’t you think I don’t know that the Wilson family has already kicked you out of the family a long time ago! Do you really think that you’re still the young lady of the Wilson family? Let me tell you something, I am Peter Murray and I have a very established reputation
in Aurous Hill. If you do not want me to destroy your entire family, then you’d better crawl into my bed and try to satisfy me tonight. If I’m satisfied with your performance, I could still force myself to forgive you!”
Claire was trembling with anger and she replied in a sharp manner, “Peter! You’re really a shameless bastard!”
“I have all the power and wealth in the world. So, what’s wrong with me being shameless?” Peter asked.
At this time, Charlie stood up before he said, “You with the last name Murray, listen up! You’re already bankrupt so don’t tell me about how powerful or wealthy you are.”
“What did you just say?”
Peter was taken aback and he did not know how to retaliate at all.
He was about to yell at Charlie when his cell phone started ringing again.
Peter did not want to answer his phone but his phone kept ringing continuously.
“Hello, what do you want?”
“Mr. Murray, I have bad news for you! The shareholders of the company that wanted to work with us have suddenly changed their mind! They want to withdraw their partnership with us.”
“What?” The expression on Peter’s face changed immediately. “I’ll give them a call immediately.”
“Wait a minute, Mr. Murray. They are not the only ones withdrawing all cooperation with us. Emgrand Group, who has always had a long term partnership with our company, had also called to withdraw
their partnership with the company. Moreover, all the other directors have also called…to request to cancel all the contracts that they have with us…”
Peter was so stunned that he was completely at a loss for words.
However, the voice on the other end of the line continued speaking.
“Moreover, four other companies have already called to ask Millenium Enterprise to pay a huge sum for liquidated damages…”
“Mr. Zenith, the CEO from Prime Financial Group, also called because he wanted to recover the two hundred and eighty million dollars loan that we took from them. He wants us to transfer that sum of money to their bank account tomorrow. Otherwise, he’ll lodge a legal proceeding against us and all of the real estate that we have under construction will be seized immediately.”
“Besides that, the City Union Bank, the Construction Bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank, and the Agricultural Bank have also called to collect the debts that we owe them. If we do not settle all the previous loans that we have taken from them by noon tomorrow, they will auction off all the company’s assets…”
Peter was sweating profusely at this time and he was turning pale as he started to break out in cold sweat.
What was going on with the world?
Was he having a nightmare?
Why did it seem as though all the unfortunate events were coming at him all of a sudden?
It was as if all those companies had made a pact to deal with him!
What was happening?
What was really happening?
