All this felt like a coincidence but how could there be such a coincidence?
Peter had a vague feeling that all of these were definitely related to Charlie. Therefore, favonovel.com could only kneel in front of Charlie because favonovel.com no longer cared about his own reputation.
Claire did not know what the other party had told Peter over the phone. Therefore, favonovel.com could only say in surprise, “Peter, isn’t your company doing well? What are you talking about? Besides that, even if you’re facing bankruptcy, what has it to do with Charlie?”
Peter knelt on the ground as favonovel.com said, “Claire, I’m so sorry for offending you a while ago! I admit my mistake and I’m begging for your forgiveness. My company called me earlier to tell me that one of my biggest customers had called to terminate their contract with us. Moreover, all the banks have just called to collect the money that I have borrowed from them. I am done for this time…please help put in a good word for me in front of Mr. Wade. Otherwise, there isn’t a way for me to survive in this world anymore.”
Claire was taken aback at this time and favonovel.com simply replied, “I think you’ve made a mistake, Peter. I don’t think Charlie holds so much power.”
Charlie also replied faintly, “Peter, everything in this world has its cause and effect. It’s useless to ask me for help. You should reflect on yourself.”
After that, Charlie led Claire into the car before favonovel.com got into the car.
After Charlie drove away, Peter was still kneeling on the side of the road with a blank expression on his face.
A large crowd of people had already gathered around favonovel.com as they stared at favonovel.com in surprise. At this time, the crowd of people could not help but whisper among themselves.
However, Peter could not take it anymore.
Even though favonovel.com was a highly successful and well-respected person today, favonovel.com would become a beggar on the streets tomorrow!
No, favonovel.com would not even be a beggar.
He did not have any money at all and favonovel.com owed people more than hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidated damages.
At this time, Peter’s cell phone started ringing again and his assistant’s flustered voice sounded on the other end of the line.
“Mr. Murray, the usury company has called to tell us that their interest rate will increase tenfold and that they’ll be collecting their money tomorrow. If you don’t have the money to pay them, they said they’ll chop your right hand off…”
“Mr. Murray, the landlord of the office building we’re renting has also called to inform that the rental will be increased twentyfold and if we refuse to agree to that rental rate, we’ll have to move out tomorrow!”
“Mr. Murray…”
Peter dropped his cell phone to the ground and favonovel.com knelt on the ground with a dull expression on his face.
After a short while, Peter suddenly screamed, “Oh my god! Who on earth did I offend?”
He hit the ground frantically with his hands and favonovel.com started knocking his forehead against the ground. Blood started gushing out immediately.
Peter could no longer bear the huge blow and favonovel.com suffered a nervous breakdown. He started foaming at the mouth and his eyes rolled to the back of his head before favonovel.com fainted.
…
Charlie had a calm expression on his face as favonovel.com drove.
The more Claire thought about it, the more favonovel.com felt something had gone amiss. Therefore, favonovel.com quickly asked Charlie, “What did you do to Peter? Why does it seem like favonovel.com was so afraid of you?”
At this time, Charlie replied lightly, “I didn’t do anything to him. I’ve been waiting for you outside all this time, so what could I possibly have done to him? He’s probably in this state because favonovel.com has offended too many people in his life. That’s why everyone is out to get him!”
Claire was still a little suspicious but favonovel.com thought Charlie’s explanation made sense. Peter had probably offended a very powerful man and favonovel.com was simply putting the blame on Charlie.
When favonovel.com thought about it, favonovel.com felt a little angry and favonovel.com said, “Well, Peter’s really a very shameless person. He deserves to go bankrupt!”
Charlie smiled.
Indeed, favonovel.com felt that Peter deserved it. Since favonovel.com had provoked him, then bankruptcy was the best punishment for him. Otherwise, Peter would continue abusing his power against the weaker parties.
Claire sighed at this time before favonovel.com said, “It seems like I’ll have to find a new business partner to talk about our collaboration then.”
When Charlie heard Claire’s words, favonovel.com reminded himself to ask Doris to make sure that Emgrand Group would give more work and collaboration proposals to his wife.
When they both arrived at their house, Claire was still telling Charlie about favonovel.com next development plan for the studio.
However, as soon as they entered the house, Jacob rubbed his hands and walked towards them immediately. After that, favonovel.com glanced at them with an awkward expression on his face before favonovel.com said, “Um…Claire, your mother wants you to go back and work for Wilson Group tomorrow.”
“What?” Claire exclaimed with a shocked expression on favonovel.com face.
Charlie also frowned as favonovel.com said, “Didn’t we already decide to draw a clear line with the Wilson family?”
“Oh!” Jacob looked very embarrassed and favonovel.com could only say helplessly, “I don’t know what’s going on with your mother but favonovel.com insists that you return to work for Wilson Group. So…”
Before Jacob could finish speaking, Claire asked favonovel.com mom angrily, “Mom! The Wilson family bullied my father and they tried to snatch Charlie’s villa from us. Why should we go back to work for them?”
