“What? How could it be? Who bought it?”
“We don’t know yet.”
“Hurry up and find out. This is my last chance,” Drake roared angrily.
Drake already had severe insomnia the previous night, but he received another piece of bad news early the next morning. Because of his immense debts, his company was jointly sued by multiple creditors and it was about to be declared bankrupt and liquidated. In just a night, the creditors who had given him a chance in the past became aggressive and took action against him.
Drake called one of his best friends and asked, “David, you said before that you’d give me time to raise funds. Why didn’t you keep your word?”
“Drake, I can’t do that. I was under pressure too. Did you offend someone?”
“What’s wrong? Who forced you to harrass me?”
“If I don’t do this, I won’t be able to survive either. I’m only telling you this because we’re good friends, but if you’ve offended someone, quickly make amends to them or it will be over for your company.”
After Drake hung up the phone, he
couldn’t figure out who he had offended
even after mulling over it for a long time.
At that moment, the sound of police
sirens could be heard from outside
before a housekeeper led six police
officers inside.
‘Drake Goodwin, we re suspecting that you’ve been involved in several commercial fraud cases. Please come with us.”
‘Drake, what’s going on? Sir, my husband
is a legitimate businessman. He wouldn’t
break the law.” Emma was terrified.
Drake comforted her, “It’s okay. I’ll go. over and find out what’s going on.”
When he was arrested, he was suddenly ambushed by the media. The issue made
headlines at once and even spread abroad in seconds, covering the headlines of major news outlets across the world. His photo was featured in the headlines of newspapers around the world as if he were a criminal. Moreover, the news media in every country vigorously reported about the issue as if they had. been paid to do so.
In the end, Goodwin Corporation went bankrupt overnight and went into liquidation before it was eventually acquired by a mysterious force and Drake was in debt for one billion. This issue became a huge sensation in the country as Goodwin Corporation was a long standing business that was famous for their furniture before they finally dabbled in the development of various other industries. As a result, they were considered a successful business. Now, however, they had met a tragic end-the chairman of the board was arrested, the company went bankrupt, and their reputation and wealth were both ruined.
In the bar, the young man who had single-handedly ruined the Goodwin Family swirled the red wine in his glass as
if he had let a huge burden off his shoulders and his seductive lips curled into a slight smile as he said, “If anything. their daughter is to blame. This is what happens if anyone dares to touch the things that belong to me.”
“Young Master Weiss, the news is being reported all over the world. If that girl. sees it, she will definitely rush back as soon as possible.”
“Excellent. I’ll be waiting for her.” Arthur’s eyes glinted with excitement as if he were hunting his prey. He was looking forward to seeing how his little prey would struggle to death.
Coincidentally, one of his good friends would be getting married early next month, so he was not in a hurry and could attend the wedding before leaving the place.
It was at the same moment when he received a phone call and happily answered it. “Okay, let’s meet at noon.”
Elliot had asked him out for lunch..
In fact, Arthur had heard some good news. He and Richard were right last time
-the child was Elliot’s biological son, which also meant that he was their godson! He pondered over what he should prepare as a present. Richard’s not gonna have time to come over at this point. Guess I’ll have to prepare a gift for my godson. But what should I give him? I can’t be stingy about this.
Arthur bit his lip, but he couldn’t come up with anything even after racking his brain as Elliot already owned the things. that he could afford, which troubled him. Hence, he could only think about it while he went to meet Elliot for lunch.
In a private room at a high-end restaurant, Elliot looked at his buddy who was entering. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Why did the Goodwin Corporation end up in your hands?”
Arthur curled his lips into a smile. “Oh, you’re quite well-informed! I thought I was being secretive enough!”
