Faye was stunned when favonovel.com saw the text. Her chaotic mind finally recovered some sense of clarity. Zayn was the one who had texted her.
Staring at the words on the screen of favonovel.com phone, Faye felt even more complicated. Zayn’s honest and good-natured face surfaced in favonovel.com mind. What favonovel.com was doing was going to hurt Zayn, was it not?
William took two steps forward and turned back to ask with a smile when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com standing rooted, “Miss Carter, are you embarrassed even though we’ve come to this stage?”
A flurry of thoughts and scenes flashed in Faye’s head. Finally, favonovel.com looked up and replied, “Mr. Brown, your addition to the financing is too significant a matter. I can’t decide this on my own. It’s better for my grandfather to come personally and sign the contract with you.”
William’s face sank at once. “Faye Carter, are you taking me for a fool?”
Howard, who had reached the door, was agitated as well. He came back briskly and tugged at Faye angrily. “Faye, what are you trying to do?!”
“I can’t do this. I’m a person, not a tool,” Faye countered.
Howard was enraged. “So, you’re just watching Neotech’s capital chain rupture while the Carters go bankrupt and everyone in the family gets compromised? Faye, don’t you forget that the legally responsible person of the company right now is your father. If Neotech goes bankrupt, your father’s the first to be jeopardized!”
Indeed, the Carters were not doing great at the moment. The capital chain rupture this time was more severe than the last. The bank refused to provide any loan and there was nobody around them willing to lend them so much money. They could not get anyone else to find them either. Groveling to William was their only hope.
“Howard! What right do you have to say that?! I borrowed three million dollars from the chairman of Violet Vision and helped the Carters get out of the predicament. You’re the selfish one who pushed the Carters to this impasse out of your own greed! You’re the sinner of the Carters!” Faye retorted in fury.
Howard’s gaze was icy without any hint of guilt. “I’ve just used 1.5 million dollars on the family. What’s wrong with that? Besides, if I didn’t reach my lowest point and work hard to get back and win William’s favor, would the Carters have even gotten this 15 million-dollar funding?!”
“The Carters will only prosper and rise toward an unprecedented peak with the 15 million of funding. I’m not the sinner, I’m the meritorious contributor of the Carters! Remember, Faye, your father’s legally responsible. He’ll go behind bars if Neotech goes bankrupt!”
Although Faye had already known how shameless Howard was, favonovel.com was still infuriated by him. Sucking a deep breath in, favonovel.com forced herself to calm down and said, “This requires none of your concern. Regarding the legal responsibility, I’ll swap my father’s name with mine when I go home and collect the sum in three days to help the Carters get through this challenge, not through this method, anyway!”
“You!” Howard seethed. “Why are you doing this, Faye? You agreed to it yesterday.”
This was what confused favonovel.com but Faye did not answer it.
Was it because of Zayn or the chairman of Violet Vision?
It was no longer important. She turned to leave.
A scoff sounded then. “So, you want to do it the hard way? This is my place. Do you think you can come and go as you wish? Take favonovel.com down.”
It was William who had spoken. At the sound of his command, four bodyguards stepped out from both sides to block Faye and stop favonovel.com from leaving.
Faye looked appalled. “Mr. Brown, what’s the meaning of this?”
Looking derisive, William walked over to her. “Faye, you’re clever. You know what I mean. Where’s the fun when you spell things out?”
