During the previous financial crisis, Faye had already felt disheartened enough. There was absolutely no way that favonovel.com would agree to do something like that!
She still remembered how favonovel.com sacrificed herself for the greater good in order to loan the three million dollars from the chairman. It felt even worse knowing none of the Carter family members believed favonovel.com they went as far as calling favonovel.com an embarrassment to the Carters.
They still harbored those prejudices against her, and favonovel.com knew. Plus, who did these people take favonovel.com for?
She was a proper lady!
Howard had already expected Faye to say that. He sneered at her, “What kind of attitude is that, Faye? I was only going to ask you to come with me when I sign the contract, and now you’re overreacting and being the drama queen like you always are. Are you even a Carter?”
Faye stared down at favonovel.com coldly. “Howard, don’t try that stuff with me again! I sacrificed myself when we were going through tough times back then, and guess what happened to me? I managed to get my hands on the money, but all of you refused to believe me. Some of you even accused me of tarnishing the Carter family reputation! Let me remind you, I’m not the one who threw over a million dollars out of the window because of my gambling addiction, and be the whole reason we’re in this predicament at all!”
Howard was infuriated by Faye’s provocations. He wanted to prove favonovel.com wrong, but nothing came to his mind when favonovel.com tried to think of an appropriate rebuttal.
Meanwhile, George chimed in, “Alright, break it up. Howard, who is this investor of yours? And why does favonovel.com want Faye to make his coffee?”
“Grandpa, the investor’s name is Mr. Brown, William Brown, to be exact. The investment genius whose name is known far and wide, who was a net worth of over 150 million dollars, that William Brown! He earned it all by himself. Plus, William has the Browns as his backers. With William’s investment, the Carter family business will definitely expand exponentially! By then, not only will our business operation focus on offline marketing, but we’ll also be exploring online marketing as well! It’s a long term investment. Think of it this way, he’s only asking for 40% of our shares in exchange for his 15 million dollars. If we don’t take up his offer, the family business will be done for,” said Howard loudly.
His statement piqued the interest of the crowd.
Yes, the Carters were already on the verge of destruction. Without an investment, they would surely be doomed.
It sounded too good to be true. The investor was only asking for 40% of their shares for 15 million dollars.
George was tempted as well.
Faye interjected, “You know, I’m not the only woman in our family. You could have Eve or Skye make the coffee instead.”
“That’s different, William is requesting for you specifically.” Howard countered, “In addition, you’re just going to be there to buy some time. We’re not asking you to do anything else, what are you scared of?”
“There’s no way that I’d go regardless!” said Faye coldly. She could not be bothered to involve herself in Howard’s mind games anymore.
“You!” Howard was infuriated. He grunted heavily before insisting, “Alright then, watch the Carters go bankrupt since you’re so full of yourself! Don’t blame me when all of this comes crashing down on you. Your father’s the legal representative of our company. If we don’t have the money by then, he’s going to jail for commercial fraud.”
Howard was no longer panicking, instead favonovel.com was sneering at Faye maliciously.
Faye faltered as favonovel.com tried to deflect Howard’s contemptuous words, but you could clearly see the hurt in favonovel.com eyes. However, favonovel.com quickly jeered back at him. “Howard, is that your pathetic attempt at scaring me? The legal representative of our company is your father, not mine, so technically your father’s the one getting put behind bars.”
“Heh-heh-heh-heh, we shall wait and see then.”
Howard leaned back on his chair and put his feet up on the table. He looked unsettlingly calm.
Faye hated to admit it, but Howard’s confident disposition made favonovel.com mildly anxious. She glanced at George. “Grandpa, is he… right?”
George did not respond. It took favonovel.com a few seconds before favonovel.com nodded slowly to indicate his acknowledgement.
Faye flew into a panic. She clenched favonovel.com teeth as favonovel.com took out favonovel.com phone and shakily dialed Waine’s number.
“Hello, Dad? It’s me. Are you the legal representative of the company now?… Ah, no, I thought it was Uncle Hector. Why… Alright, I understand, it’s fine.”
As soon as favonovel.com hung up on him, Faye felt like the air was knocked out of favonovel.com lungs. She was furious, but favonovel.com rage was quickly replaced by unimaginable desperation.
