Chris Shelby frowned and said, “Dear, what exactly happened?”
Esther replied, “Dear, since this morning, customers at Panda Networks have been calling one after another to cancel their contracts with us. Now, Panda Networks doesn’t have a single client left. If this continues, the entire company will go under.”
Hearing this, Chris Shelby’s face showed no signs of panic.
In fact, all of this had been anticipated by Chris Shelby.
Losing Panda Networks, Blake Noire certainly wouldn’t let things lie; he was bound to cause trouble for Chris Shelby.
Chris Shelby smiled and said, “No worries! Panda Networks was originally set up for the Chester Group. Now that those clients are gone, starting today, Panda Networks will serve only the Chester Group.”
Esther was delighted and exclaimed, “That’s great! Our Chester Group was in need of an IT company, and with Panda Networks, we’ve filled that gap!”
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Tiger walked in.
“Boss, just as you predicted! It was indeed Blake Noire pulling the strings behind the scenes. He’s established a new company called Fish Networks, and all those who were fired from Panda Networks have gone to him.”
“If Blake Noire wants to play this game with me, then I will play it well,” Chris Shelby said with a cold laugh, looking at Tiger.
“Tiger, go and give a firm warning to the clients of Fish Networks.”
“Yes, sir!”
Tiger nodded, then turned and left.
Meanwhile, at a hot springs resort.
Blake Noire and Lysander Frost were soaking in the hot springs.
Lysander Frost complimented, “Master Noire is truly formidable, managing to steal all of Chris Shelby’s clients! Even if Chris Shelby has acquired Panda Networks, it’s still nothing but an empty shell.”
Hearing this, a smug look crossed Blake Noire’s face.
“Lysander Frost, I owe this to you as well, for secretly borrowing a hundred million dollars from your family without them knowing. Without that, I wouldn’t have been able to make a comeback!”
Then, Blake Noire’s expression turned to one of dissatisfaction, “If it weren’t for my family’s reluctance to help me, Chris Shelby wouldn’t be so arrogant. But in a few days my brother will return, and once he does, Chris Shelby is certainly doomed!”
Hearing about Blake Noire’s brother’s return, Lysander Frost looked shocked.
Blake Noire’s brother was known as the foremost young master of Middleton!
Furthermore, Blake Noire’s brother was also the president of the Middleton Crimson Bloom.
Almost all second-generation members of major families in Middleton looked up to Blake Noire’s brother.
Lysander Frost could hardly believe that Blake Noire’s brother was coming back, promising some dramatic developments.
Lysander Frost, with a stern face, said, “Master Noire, my brother is also returning. By then, Chris Shelby is as good as dead!”
Lysander Frost’s brother, alongside Blake Noire’s brother, were founders of Crimson Bloom, known as the Four Young Masters of Middleton.
Each one was a future heir of a noble family, powerful and strategic, holding significant influence in Middleton.
“Hahaha!”
Blake Noire laughed triumphantly, “Excellent! When the Four Young Masters of Middleton come together, it will spell the end for Chris Shelby!”
Ding-a-ling-a-ling!
Suddenly.
Blake Noire’s phone rang.
After hanging up, Blake Noire’s face looked extremely grim.
At that moment, Lysander Frost curiously asked, “Mr. Noire, what has happened to you?”
Blake Noire clenched his teeth and said, “That damned Chris Shelby, he actually sent people to threaten my clients at Fish Networks, and now all those clients have demanded to terminate their cooperation with me!”
It was known that Blake Noire had only recently restarted a company called Fish Networks, but Chris Shelby had managed to ruin it in just a few days, which infuriated Blake Noire immensely.
Meanwhile, after Panda Networks partnered with Chester Group, its reputation soared. It wouldn’t be long before Panda Networks would become a new star on the internet scene. It was then that Candace arrived at Panda Networks. Candace agreed to help Chris Shelby manage Panda Networks. With a grateful expression, Chris Shelby said, “Candace, from today, you are the general manager of Panda Networks. You have the final say in the entire company, and neither Esther nor I will interfere with the management.”
Chris Shelby was completely confident in both Candace’s abilities and character. Candace nodded and said, “Okay, but Chester Group must also refrain from interfering with the operations of Panda Networks’ network.”
Chris Shelby agreed to all of Candace’s conditions.
At the same time, within the Frost family, Lysander Frost had loaned Blake Noire a hundred million dollars to establish Fish Networks, but unexpectedly, Fish Networks collapsed within just a few days. The money Lysander Frost had loaned to Blake Noire was naturally irretrievable. Losing over a hundred million dollars, this incident alarmed the upper echelons of the Frost family.
“Lysander Frost, come clean to me, what’s this about you lending Blake Noire over a hundred million dollars?” Kevin Frost, Lysander Frost’s uncle, who also took care of the Frost family’s business affairs, demanded an explanation.
Lysander Frost, with a mournful look, replied, “Uncle, I’m sorry! Blake Noire was pressured by Chris Shelby to pay back ten billion dollars, and after doing so, Blake Noire ended up penniless. To seek revenge, he borrowed a hundred million dollars from me to start Fish Networks, but in just a few days, Chris Shelby managed to destroy it, and now the money lent to Blake Noire can’t be recovered!”
Upon hearing this, Kevin Frost frowned. There was no way to get the money back from Blake Noire. After all, Blake Noire was the young master of the Noire family, which was the foremost among the top ten noble families. Although both were noble families, the Frost family was far behind the Noire family.
Yet, having lost over a hundred million dollars, if the matter were left unresolved, the Frost family could not swallow their pride. Kevin Frost snorted coldly, “Ever since this Chris Shelby came to Middleton, he’s been stirring up trouble. Last time you were on the East Coast, Chris Shelby bullied you repeatedly. If we don’t teach him a lesson, others will think that the Frost family is easy to bully.”
Hearing this, Lysander Frost urgently said, “Uncle, you must help me take revenge!”
Kevin Frost coolly responded, “Don’t worry, Chris Shelby is after all the Amerosia Primus, and now even the master of Emberwood Estate. Even Caspian Vance, that old man, has grown very close to Chris Shelby. It’s not simple to deal with him.”
Lysander Frost looked dejected and said, “Uncle, is there really no way to deal with Chris Shelby?”
Kevin Frost thought for a moment and then said, “Lysander, let’s wait for your older brother to return! Your brother is one of the Middleton Four Young Masters, and he should have a way to handle Chris Shelby.”
“Yes!” Lysander Frost nodded, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
