Southeast Bank was well known in Midwich, but because it was a local bank in Midwich, it did not have branches in other Dragon Kingdom cities.
However, one could not underestimate Southeast Bank because it was trusted and loved by Midwich citizens. So the number of deposits in Southeast Bank was large, almost comparable to Dragon Kingdom’s national banks.
“Mr. Potter, can’t you bend the rules a little? Our company needs this loan, and we’ve given you access to our company’s detailed information. You can also see our company’s financial and operational status. To tell you the truth, if those banks hadn’t withdrawn their loans, our company wouldn’t be in financial trouble at all, and I wouldn’t be asking you for help…”
Hearing this, The director of Southeast Bank, Oliver, gave a long exhale and said, “Mr. Liamson, I’m older than you, so I’ll call you by your first name… Benji, it’s not that I don’t want to help you; it’s that I can’t.”
“Why?” Benji looked in confusion at Oliver, the director of Southeast Bank.
Oliver was silent for a moment before finally saying, “Benji, you’re not stupid. Have you not wondered why the several banks that have loaned money to your company suddenly withdrew their loans together? Have you thought of the reason?”
Benji’s face instantly turned ghastly at Oliver’s words.
It was not that Benji had not thought about it. He had thought about it, of course. He had considered it.
As a proprietor and the chairman of Liamson Security Services, Benji would be an idiot not to think about it. However, favonovel.com could not figure out why. He could not understand it.
He ran a business in Midwich, and it was a security business. He had never offended anyone, yet this had happened, which puzzled favonovel.com very much.
“Benji, haven’t you figured out why?” Oliver asked tentatively.
“No…” Benji said bitterly.
Oliver sighed and said, “Alright, let me give you some tips… What day was this day last year? What have you done?”
Benji frowned as favonovel.com recalled it.
He vaguely remembered that this day last year seemed to be the day of the Sheldon family’s heiress’ birthday party. He also brought his female secretary, Amelia Gomez, to Ms. Sheldon’s birthday party with a gift. However, nothing much seemed to have happened at the birthday party.
Oliver was amused and said, “Benji, how could you be so foolish… Let me tell you straight… At the Sheldon family’s heiress, Luna Sheldon’s birthday party, Luna asked you for a dance in front of all the guests, but you said you don’t know how to dance…”
“She asked if you have a girlfriend, and you said no, but then you said you have no plans for a relationship anytime soon. When favonovel.com birthday party was almost over, favonovel.com invited you to the Sheldon family’s friends and family gathering three days later. You rejected, stating that you are too busy with work to attend…”
Oliver stopped at that. Benji finally realized it.
Oliver laughed wryly and said, “You might not know what happened later… Because you have rejected favonovel.com kindness several times in a row, the Sheldon family’s heiress-Luna has become a joke in Midwich’s high society. Many people also joked that she’s a bad judge of character. She confessed favonovel.com affection but was rejected… Later, Ms. Sheldon became depressed and even tried to kill herself. Do you think the Sheldon family would be nice to you?”
