At the First People’s Hospital of Auton.
Alberto rushed over and arrived at the cell 608.
“Alberto, such an emergency took place. You don’t even care about it. Where did you go?” Lillian stood up to scold him as he came in.
“Think about it. This was all because you offended others!” Lillian complained. She was extremely dissatisfied.
Alberto didn’t say anything. He looked at people in bed. His father-in-law, Cedric looked sad. There were purple bruises on Cedric’s face. His hands were wrapped with gauze.
Beside him, Dayanara sat with a haggard expression. She seemed very tired.
“Cedric, Dayanara, how are you?” Alberto asked seriously.
“Just scratches. I’m fine,” Cedric said.
Dayanara said, “I’m OK. Dad argued with the workers and got beaten up. Fortunately, he just got some scratches.”
Alberto was furious. However, he calmly asked, “What exactly happened today?”
Dayanara seemed to be reluctant to mention it and sighed.
“Today, Cedric went to the factory to deal with something. No one knew how Dylan got all the debts of the factory. As a result, Dylan became the creditor. Dylan instigated the workers to dismantle all the equipment in the factory. When Cedric went to argue, he was injured by two workers,” Lillian slowly said, “Dayanara and I went over to question Dylan. He just mocked us. All equipment in the factory has been removed by them now.”
“Cedric’s factory is over now. Even our will be taken away!” The more Lillian spoke, the more excited she became. “They’re so ruthless! Alberto, you’re the one who caused us to suffer!”
Alberto seemed thoughtful. It was obvious that Dylan had come with preparation. Dylan was so vicious. Not only did he destroy the jewelry factory that was economic source of the Mcconnells, but also took away the house, which they lived in.
Dylan really wanted to force them to death.
“We owe Dylan the mortgage and the factory now. Dylan said that he just wanted you and Dayanara to divorce. I have already agreed. If you still have consciousness, sign it,” Lillian said.
“Forget it!” Cedric said in a deep voice, “Lillian, it’s all because I’m useless. I can’t support this family. Don’t blame anyone else.”
“Clark’s son had been so ruthless. It’s clearly that he wants to make a fool of our family,” Cedric said slowly, “This time, we should listen to Dayanara. At worst, we’ll lose the jewelry factory and the house. We could leave Auton. In this way, we don’t need to suffer anymore.”
Lillian became quite after hearing his words.
“What a surprise! The whole family are here. Useless Alberto finally shows up.”
A voice came from outside the room.
Dylan came, wearing sunglasses and a fancy suit. He was followed by two bodyguards.
“How about my previous proposal, Lillian and Cedric?” Dylan asked.
“You know, I’m doing this for the good of your family. Look at Alberto, he’s such a piece of trash. He didn’t even dare to show up after such an emergency happened to the factory,” Dylan said with a pompous expression, “If I hadn’t rushed to rescue you in time today, Cedric, could you leave there alive?”
“Shut up! It’s all because of you. Don’t disgust us!” Dayanara shouted angrily. She hated Dylan so much.
No one could stand Dylan!
“You really don’t have any conscience,” Dylan sighed, “I got all the debts back in order to protect Cedric. If a stranger were to deal with the debts, Cedric would probably be beaten to death!”
“I’m also thinking for you,” Dylan slowly said, “Dayanara, don’t worry. There’s no need to worry about your future. I have a good relationship with Chandler of the Mullens. He has always been thinking about you. I’ll help arrange your wedding.”
“Get out!” Dayanara said angrily. Such a huge insult made her tremble.
“What?” Dylan laughed, “Cedric, I have given you an alternative. You should cherish it. Tomorrow, I will release the debt. At that time, not only will you lose everything, but also be blocked by the debt collectors.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? My father can at most mortgage the jewelry factory and the house. What other debts would he have?” Dayanara asked.
“It’s not that simple,” Dylan smiled proudly. “The equipment in that jewelry factory was broken. It’s not worth a dime. It’s not enough to pay off the debts! And there are the rent arrears. If you don’t handle them properly, Cedric might be involved in the crime of contract fraud and will be imprisoned.”
“You!” Dayanara bit her lips and she even wanted to kill Dylan.
It was common in business. Dylan was very wealthy. There were so many ways to deal with a jewelry factory when it was on the verge of bankruptcy…
“Think carefully, do you want to beg me?” Dylan watched this scene happily.
“Is that all you want to say? Scram if you’ve finished!”
Alberto looked at Dylan without any expression.
“Loser, how dare you ask me to scram?” Dylan’s expression changed as he looked coldly at Alberto.
Alberto had always been obedient in the Mcconnell’s. Dylan had never thought that Alberto would dare to be tough.
“How dare you!” Dylan suddenly became furious and wanted to slap Alberto in the face.
But Dylan was stopped!
Alberto raised his hand and grabbed Dylan’s wrist, making the bone of Dylan twist.
Dylan felt very painful.
Dylan screamed. He sweated because of pain as he looked at Alberto in disbelief.
Dylan knelt in front of Alberto. He was trembling, as if he was enduring an incomparably great pain.
Alberto snorted and let go of Dylan’s hand.
Dylan fell on the ground.
Dylan was unstable. He suddenly fell to the ground. His arm crazily twitched. The pain made him tremble.
“Alberto, you dare to hurt me!” Dylan stared at Alberto, “I will make you regret being born in this world!”
“Your family is doomed! No one can help you. I decided!”
Dylan stood up and said with a gloomy expression.
“I have given you a chance. You didn’t cherish it. All of you will suffer!”
After Dylan finished threatening, he left angrily.
“Alberto, do you think things are not serious enough? You even beat Dylan up!” Lillian howled, “What are we going to do? You’re really going to kill us!”
“Calm down. Violence doesn’t help,” Dayanara said slowly.
“I will take care of everything. You don’t have to worry about it anymore,” Alberto said indifferently, “Dylan won’t make it.”
“What? How would you handle it?” Lillian sneered and said, “Why are you…”
Alberto glanced at Lillian without any expression.
Lillian was shocked. Suddenly, she felt that Alberto was different today. He looked determined. She was about to reprimand him but she endured the impulse.
Alberto looked at Dayanara with a gentle look.
“Don’t worry. I’m here.”
Dayanara didn’t know what was going on. She felt warm. Alberto gave her a feeling that she could rely on him. It was a feeling that she never had before.
“Alright.” She nodded silently.
…
At the same time, on the other side.
In the Baoding Building of the Mcconnell Jewelry Group.
Every floor of the 20-story building saw rustling people. The employees were all in a hurry. They looked worried as if something big had happened.
In the conference hall on the 23rd Floor.
The Mcconnells’ board of directors held an emergency meeting.
There were more than twenty people at the table.
All the wealthy and influential people from the Mcconnells of Auton were present.
“What’s going on? Why is there such a big trouble in the group all of a sudden?”
“What’s going on? I was just playing golf. I received several phone calls and rushed over for a meeting. All big clients wanted to end partnership with our group!”
“Has the group offended someone? Otherwise, there would be no reason for the sudden collapse!”
It was noisy in the meeting hall. Each shareholder was anxious and seemed to be very impatient.
Someone coughed.
Connor, the executive director and president of the Mcconnells’ Group, coughed to signify his presence.
“Everyone, stop arguing. Let’s get down to business first. There will always be a way to solve this problem.”
Connor looked distressed. In the past few years, he had been running the Mcconnells’ Group smoothly. It was the first time he had encountered such a dangerous situation.
The conference hall immediately fell into silence. Everyone looked at Connor with worried expressions, waiting for him to speak.
“President, the data you asked for has been compiled.”
At this time, a young secretary wearing glasses walked in with a few important documents.
“Tell me, how many big clients did the group lose today? And how many old clients had broken the contract?” Connor said helplessly. He was also a little nervous. He had no idea how much the group had suffered.
“President, according to statistics, our Mcconnell’s Group has fallen by more than 30% on the stock market today… The stock market has already collapsed. It has caused panic among the shareholders. Many called to ask for the withdrawal of their shares,” The secretary said solemnly as she held the documents.
“In addition, our jewelry sales channels in more than a dozen prefecture-level cities were cut off today. Our contracts were cancelled almost at the same time.”
“What’s more, the jewelry industry of Manley Province, more than 20 famous companies, as well as the Jewelry Commercial Association of Manley and the Manley General Chamber of Commerce, all jointly announced that they would no longer cooperate with us…”
“Our group is experiencing a great crisis of trust …”
The young female secretary couldn’t continue to speak. If she continued, she would have to say that the group is going to bankrupt…
